Thayer, Esq. of New York,who recently lectured here on Whig principies. - We were much pleased with hirn as a rhetorical His language and illustrations remindbd us of the style of C. M. Clay, and we thought that he was as well calculated for forcibly addressing a miscellaneous assembly as any whig speaker we have fieard in Michigan. His logical powerSjihcogh respectable, did not appear toas great'advantnge. He clearly showed up the abominable alliance between the slaveholders and the Northern Dernocracy for extending Slavery by annexing Téxas; but Vvhen he came to prove how wise it vöuld be to vote for Henry Clay to prevent such a result, he failed most'miserably. All he could do wasto repeat MrrClay's declaralion that uat the present' time" - the time when Tyler's treaty was pending - he was opposed to Annexation.

This brief article contains half as man; falsehoods as there are lines. Mr. Birney never was a "Van Buren partizan" in any sense, but in 1828 he was candidate for Presiderrtial Elector with Mr. Dellef,-of Alabama, now Whig member of-Gongress from that State.
