We cali special attention to the circular of one hundred and five Democrats of Madison County, who have come out for Liberty and genuine democracy. Several of thëm have been prominent in the party - one was a member of the Legislature last winter. The circular presents the true issue now before the Democrats in a concise and admirable manner. - The Democratie party has ceased its advocacy of the rights of the Individual, and become an engine for enslaving, not for elevating, human beings. The party bas left its principies; and its members have their choice - to leave their partij, or leave its frinciiples. Tnese Democrats of Madison County have abandoned the former, and adhered to the latter. Who can say they have not acted wisely and consistently?ttJThe Signal of Liberty only proves the force of its locofoco instincts by quoting from the Detroit Free Press! the Kalamazoo Gazette and other locofoco papers, statements derogntory tothecharacter of Whigs. The Signal yery well knows that those presses have forfeited all character for truth, and all claims to credit. - State Journal. We suppose it was in order to quote truc statements from any paper. Were we to be veri particular as to character, we fear the number of our Wüg exchanges might be reduced. We know nothing of the character of the Kalamazoo Gazette. As to the Free Press, there is doubtless room for 'improvement. It is the interest of the press generally to be careful to malte true statements. Every falsehood dimmishes the confidence of readers in newspaper articles..(C.The Boston Chfonicle says Ihat not a Whig paper ifc New England has yet published the letter of Clay repudiating Cassius, and avowing his oíd slavery doctrines. They are afraid of it.
