MOVEMENTS on Tae NsUrRAL GsoUYp. The
friends OF Cass appear have gained recently great
sccessioas OF energy and zeal. They are very ac-
lively engaged in making preparation for the COM
ing campaign, and they are preparing TO enter the
field ia the right way. They are not making any
hypccriucs, yapoling appeals, about the integrity
o. "Ihe party"-the safety of the "cause"-ihe Sc
curity of the "spos" They present in strong. but
temperate and digni6ed language, the claims oil
Lewis Cass to the highest henor which his country
can bestow, and defend them, not on the ground oil
his adherence 10 party, but his devotion 10 MS
country.
1t is favorable time 10 take upsome new name
some man whose honesty and integrity have not
been brearhed upon by the polu,ng influence OF
violent partnership. Mr. Cass combines in his per.
sou great many qualities essential 10 popularity.
As q statesman-a soldier--a dplomast- above
all, as an honest patriot, he stands, and always has
stood high in The estimation Of great mass of his
fellow citizens. The selfish and interested adher-
ents of the hacks Of all parties are beginning TO open
their eyes to the fact, that the people are wearied
and sick OF the rotten, Specializing, hypocritica po-
litclans, who have been towering, like carbon buds,
the interests Of the country Tor the last twenty
years. The professional stump orators, and the
Office beggars OF all complications, the Van Buren,
ties, and the Sayires, aud the Founertes, have ga
gacity enough now 10 perceive thatthe people are
not, arer all, just as "whng TO be led by the nose
as asses are" A determination 10 drive all the I'M
prime Pied money changers out OF the temple-'o
get rid of the incubus Of party sprt-to put an end
the fierce contests of facton-apd TO obtain peace
and repose, is every day waxing stronger IN the
minds of our intelligent and honest hearted citizens
John Tyler had noble opportunity of taking adj
vantage OF this great change in the popular mind
But the unwise counsel Of unworthy advisers ope-
railing on weak and vaclatipg, though pure and
honest mind et cually opened the eyes OF the peo'
pie TO the hopeessness of reposing any trust in that
larter. Where then are they TO 60? Does not
reason and patriotism tell them that they should
choose au uucorupted man-one not skilled in The
may subtle'es Of practsed political lntrgce- one
Ignorant Of the accomplishments which give the
hacks such strong claims on The attention OF The
gspiog, greedy, rotten, bankrupt political mendi-
cau,s OF all parties, and every description of ragged
cosluu,e2 Can such d man be found amongst us?
We shall see.
The friends OF Cass IN Ohio recently ssueda cir
culsr which presents his claims, in temperate but
very fOrclole manner, and disposed in very anu
siugly quiet way, of those OF Van Buren, and Cal
houn. This circular has been extensively circula.
ted, and has made great impression. Preparations
have been made for holding mass Meetings in favor
of Cass, throughout the west, and shall soon hear
OF the bursting out of the flames in full blaze. The
Ercning Post, of yesterday, published a letter from
ireud OF Mr.. Cass, which the 70 affects to treat
with great contempt. Letus give the correspondent
