we have no further information in regard
to MIR. Cass' affair. Ills friends saw that
he has been recalled, but only for The pur
pose OF aiding the Department, of War in
examining the condition of the Indian SER
wee. Others say that Governor Cass was
concerned IN peculations, but concerned
with others, who began the game before
he came into the office. Time may or NAV

investigation by The House will bring moth
ing to light, all that is discovered, must
come to light by sort ofsponiancnus com

cations got up on party principles. may
