Il cnnnot bo concenled tlinl ihe "Liberty pnrlv," so ea'led, hold the bnlaitce ..f power in ihat Coi.gressionnl district. They can elfci Gurdon, a rmrthern man, (ir Staart, na open f'riend nnd counsdlor of slave c.l'-hers. Which will they flioose ? - Detroit Advrliser. They irfH chnose neiihr. Dut thf-y will vote for llie:r own candidaie, a gentleman wlio wmld do hönor to the party iba) nomínate] liim, and lo ih? district. Mr. Gorden wrs .1 candidato for Congiess last yen-, and was questioned by c.-rtnin anti-slavery men, ns to h:s course if elecled. We have not the correspondpnce nnïv at hand ; hut his replies were very far from being salisfactnry to the great mwn ofLiberiy min. 130 liherty men ófCnlhoim County, however gave him iheir Bunrg"8, but they were not sufficfent lo elect him. The Kalamnzoo Gnzette is informad t lint a port on of tha Liberty pariy ofihe District will nupport liim this year, in preferenci to their own candidj'e. We can scnrcely believe this. If Mr. Gordun held to tlie amfl principies with Libertv men, we can readily conceive how they miglit be disposed to support him nlthnugh belonging to a different pnrty. But ibis is far ft m being the case wiih Mr. Gordon. If elecle-J. he will be.to n', intentsand ;irposKS,n Whig - and, wilh his brother Whigs, if the eleotion of President should come into the Bouw, would have no objection to e'ecting a Sl.iveholder to that office, and fillng the olher nnlionnl offices wiih slave'nolders. Whigs mny consi-itently vo'e (ur such a candidate : but how a Liherty mui can ever think of doing si, is a mystery to us.
