1 A lew momhy mee, some of our friend thought il-at the utmost ihat the Liberty p,-r ? coulJ do the present year, ámid the whiríyin] I of a Presidencial eleetion, woulr! be to preserv, niírniiníber and influence unïmpnired. We dis i senied rom üns opinión, and expressed the belief that the exuiicmeiu would reach the anti- slnvery menas well as oth.ers, and cali ihem ou in deence of tkaïr principies. The resul t ha! - met our expectations. "The country is risin.,',' 1 buL it is for the cause of Freedom, as Well nsfoi ". Polk and Cluy. Wq havo enrofully watched thj ■ signe of the times, and we car truly say, that a 1 no time since the oranizaiion of the party h.-.i ihc unión of Liberty men been more perfect, their ibithand hope more fully developed or thcij exertioiis and ofl'oris mere abnndaní. There if lar greater. interest arnong liberty-inen now thar 1 thcre was a yearsincc. ín prooi of this we cite the foliowing cl;eering evidence of piogress. which wc cm from our exchange papers of a single mai!. Sig-ns of the Times. Two yeare ago, you eould hardly get the political press gencraliy, to -reeognize the existence oí the Liberty party, or the nomeftof its candiaates. The Liberty vote was all "Seal." Now, in the votes taken on board steamboats, the nnme oí Birney occurs as regularly as any o f hef;, and mnny of the Whig papers are as intent upon opposing the Liberty men, as they are the Democrats! Agnin, in 1840. the Whigs were assiduous in disclaiming abolitionism, as the Democrats wcre iti charging it upon them. Now they are eager to convince Liberty men that they are as good abolitionists as they are, while the Democrats, eo far from making this a weapon against them, are anxious rather to show the hollowness of their pretensions to tinti-slavery zeail What do these facts signiTy? We commend them to the iiou'ce of our Southern friends. In four years more, if the Liberty men stand fat, both parties, if then existing, will be more in fearot the anti-slaveiy. than slavery sentiment. The liibcrty RoII. Mnke way for the true democracy! Ch.vrlks MoRRfs, Esq-, a leading member of the bar of Truy, Miami county, supported Mr. Van Buren warmly in 16U. IJe aittrwards waa the choice of many for the President Judgeship of his circuit.
