Messrs. Editors: - 1 wouldsay thro' your paper, for the encouragement of the friends of Liberty, that the interest of the Liberty Party is rising in this section of the country - and many begin toquestion the propriety of voting for a slaveholder and slave breeder, while they profess tobe antislavery men. It hasgenerally been thought by the friends of Liberty that there could be nothing done in our town, (West Bloomfield,) but in spite of all the proslavery influences this side of the spirit world, we have formed an Association, and have held our first meeting, which was well attended. We had a warm and spirited discussion, in which Hon. Mr. Daniels and - (Whigs,) took part, and the meeting adjourned to the 2Oth inst., at 4 o'clock, P. M. at the same place. We say toourWhigand Loco friends, come and let us reason togeiher. The above named gentlemen argued that it was expedient that we should support Clay in order to defeat Polk. Now we say that we have no choice in those two slaveholding gentlemen, both being equally guilty, in robbing their fellow men of all those inalienable rights that God hath guaranteed to them - and, in short, we cannot sacrifice moral principie on the altar of expediency. Yours fór Liberty,
