stern FederaIist, James Buchanan, for
this distinguished station. Recently
large meeting of pseudo democrats
has been held in the metropolis Of
Pennsylvania, and Governor, now
General Cass, has been designated
as the champion of the locofoco party
for the next Presidency. The nom-
ination ofhGeneral Cass, is heralded
tothe public eye with 6ourishing
biography and narrative of his warlike
and civil archievments. In the out
set Of the glowing preamble notice is
taken ofthe democratic meeting which
nominated Mr.. Buchanan sometime
previous, in tone of unqualified
reprobation," and their proceedings
stigmatised as .snarrow aud illiberal
conduct" with other. animadversions.
The supporters of General Cass ap-
plaud with uncommon zeal his deeds

left the camp ofthe immortal Harrison.
They seize upon the phamplet late

during his sojurn in France, upon the

by upon which he is to canter into the
Presidential Chair. Casting aside and
bestTiding all the pretensions ofthe nu-
merous aspirants who look greedyily
to the White House, they have pitch
ed their choice upon Gen. Cass. and
the idoIitary dispIayedln their address,
the spirit of obstinacy and uncomprom-

show conclusively. they will not abate
one tithe in their preference. More
meeting swas held in in the

Michael Cassie Of Gen. Jackson, since
;ashiered by public sentiment, was {
as the onIyperson suitable,to
'un the cource with gallant Harry in
1914. More recently still, John Cat
line Calhoun, as the Globe was wont
o call him, has doffed his senatorial

ophistry or any otherdelusive process,
hat Mr.. Calhoun, whose burning gaze
has SO long been fixed upon the Pres
dency,will not give up this last oppor- I
