GEN. CASs s MIR WEBSTER.

A long correspondence between these two distin-
guished gentlemen is published in the Washington
and some other papers 1t is upon the late treaty
with England and attracts some attention. Gen Cass
in of his letters urges pretencc for resgning
his Office that there something in the matter of
tho late treaty touching the right of search not con-
sisten with letter he had addressed to the French
Minister, and in reply to this pretence MIR Webster
marks, that the treaty had not at the time been
made public, and General Cass could not have
known any thing Of the matter, This is rather cutting
to the Ex Minister, especially as almost every one
conecures that his real design in coming home was
to urge his claims to the Preside ncy.
The correspondence is looked upon partly mat
ter Of general curiosity TO after what style, two
of the abest men in the country will cope with each
other, where there is point of personal honor,
we'll as official duty concerned, and partly because
the subject itself involves some nice questions and
some important ones.
The sentiment of Gen. Cass's part Of the discussion
is essentially Anti English, and favorable to absolute
Amercanis,n, while that fMr Websters is mora
cosmopolitan, without being any less American.
The position ocGen. Cass is an unfortunate one
1t is that of volunteer, breasting the effects of
a ratified Treaty, and the votes Of the Senate which
approved it, as well as the Judgment Of the Execu-
tive who negotiated it. MIR Webster's position is a
strong one, because is responsible one, and he is
backed by all the authorities which made the Treaty,
part Of the supreme law of the land.
The argument Of Gen. Cass is based too much
assumptions. He actually mis- quotes the British
statements-insiss upon calling the claim of vista
ton, the right Of search, and that flag of red and
white hunting, in thirteen stripes, is the American
flag, whether it is hoisted by lawful trader by
pirate
For these reasons, Gen. Cass, as it seems TO US,
does not come off superior in the debate,

indications are that the Wings have elected orthe
members of Congress- and that the House is Locofo-

state things with certainty, and full returns may
change these calculations. But the Wings have not
