SS-IIIS POSITION-DEM0CRATI MEETING AT DETROIT.

MEETING AT DETROIT.
 By the Detroit Free Press of the Sd instant we have the proceedings of large and en- thusiastic meeting held in that city on the previous evening, to respond to the nomina- ton of James k. Polk and George NJ. Dallas, for President and Vice President, Gen. Cass was present, and addressed the meeting. The Free Press says:
 After few brief and spirited remarks by Mr. Ten Eyck, he closed, by announcing to the meeting, the presence of our own distin- guished fellow citizen, Gen. Lewis Cass On this announcement three hearty cheers for Cass brought the war-worn veteran to the rostrum.
 ssGen. Cass said he had come here this evening to take part in the proceedings, to express his hearty concurrence in the nomi- nation made by the Baltimore Democratic Convention, and to announce his determina- ton faithfully to support 1t. He said the crisis through which the democratic party had usd passed, had served but the better to prove the integrity of its principle, and the internal strength of it's cause. After many differences of opinion, differences however about men, and not about measures, the choice of the Convention had unanimously fallen upon a man irreproaehable in private life, and who ill various public stations, had given proof of great firmness and ability, of ineorrlptible integrity, and sincere devotion to those prin- ciples, which the democratic party deem es- sential to the prosperity of our country, and ] the perpetuation of her free institutions know him well, said Gen. Cass, and know he will fulfil the expectations of his friends, and fully justify the confidence of the party. Nothing now is wanting to ensure success, but united eXertion, and uat ace must, and aciH harc Let Us put behind us the divi- sions and preferences of the past, and join in one common effort, to promote the triumph of our cause. Victory is Tn our power, and l let Us attain 1t. Let every one feel, and fulfil his duty. am so persuaded that such will be the general sentiment and action of the party, that confidently predict that James K l Polk, will be the next President of the United States, and if he is, know he will follow in the footsteps of Washington, of Jefferson, ol Madison, and of Jackson.
 s'Fhe General was frequently interrupted l in the course of his remarks by the loud bursts of applause from all present.o
 Thus are the high hopes of whiggery, thai division and distraction would peryade the 4 ranks of the democracy, nipped in the bud f The only strife between the friends of the different candides is, which will be enabled to render the most service during the cam paign. Such strife Is merltorious, and

 DR. BoRLAND-S'r:-Since the speaking of the candidates ill this place on the 1st of June, the c0oAs have been in the greatest ec- stacies imaginable as to the result of the con- test between their stump yillifer, Walker, and the democratic war-horse .4fcbg. To insure the success of their candidate in this county, they are compelled to resort to all kinds of trickery and misrepresentation. They have boldly asserted that Walker has made many converts to his odious doctrines; which as- serdon is. so palpably untrue, they cannot get 1t substantiated by their organ of defama- ton i'll this place. should like to see the man pointed out who, previous to the speak ing, was a Yell man, who does not still huzza for ell. The whigs have frequently made the assertion that Mr. Such-an-one has been made proselyte 10 their doctrines by Walk CT; but when that gentleman has been asked aboutit, he hasinvariably positively deniedi it. You mayimpieitly believe ne when assure you that neither ' ell nor any of the demo- cratic candidates have lost any of their strength in this county since the speaking and that al the fall election they will give their opponents such thrashiag as has never been received by any coon candidate since the formation of the county. Walker has lost strength by his opposition to the question of annexation; and Yell's strength has been considerably augmented by his warm support of that measure. Ifyou ask a whig here why he is opposed to annexation, he will reply, because Henry Clay is-which Is an emphatic aclsnowledgmcnt that the whigs go for men, and not for measures.
 We are chasing the coons here with long pole, nor will we relinqush the pursuit until we have rubbed the hair of of the tail of eve " coon in the county. The democrats re- gard the nomination of Polk and Dallas as the salvation of the country; and all fears which they might have entertained previous to the meeting of the National Convention as to the success of their cause, have been relieved by its iudicious nominations.

 .5Ir. Editor.-Y esterday was the com mencement of our circuit court. Gen. Byrd was in attendance and made speech. He affects to be quite sanguine of success; but upon what state of facts he predicates his hopes l am unable to understand; as there is no demonstration among lie peopfe-ih his favor. discover that good many of the deceitful whigs are encouraging him onward. It may be from them that he derives all his hopes of success. For among them, see a great many of Gen. Byrd's warm pretended friends; not, however, that they intend to vote for him; for they well know that there is no chance for him. But every vote that he can possibly take from the regular nomi- nee-Dr. Chapman-they know will weaken the democratic party, and thus strengthen Gibson, This is their darling object. But 1 can assure you that the democracy never were more firm and united. They will rally round the nominees of the convention; as they well know that there is safety in being united. And by so doing they will be ena- bled to defeat their common enemy, who is ever on the alert to divide and weaken us. Y ou may rest assured that this county will give Dr. Chapman a vote equal to that of Gov. Yell for Congress.
