Gen. Cass,

"Gen Cass 10 the most dangerous man in the
Senate and perhaps in the nation" So says the
Michigan Tribune, an aR,i-war whig paper. And
why, reader, is Gen. Cass thus pronounced dan
gsross! We will state:
The Tribune charges that he opposed the tren-
y Of Washington, by which Mr.. Webster csded
away the North Eastern boundary, and in part
yielded to England the right of search. On tho
Oregon question he declared for OUT rights to Sd
deg. 40 min ;and new when universal Federalism
and the Calhoun coalition are endeavoriag to
force the government into dshonoraslo position
and inisrmiRabls warfare, he has boldly declared
that the war should be vigorously prosecuted to
conclusion, and denied the right of Congress to
direct the President how he shall conduct it.
These are the acts which make him dangerous!
When as Minister to France he prevented the
alliance Of England with France, to carry ou, the
right cfuiTtation out of which grew his contro-
vsrsy with Webster, he saved US from war-war
net with England only, but possibly with the
leading States Of Europe, or submission to humi
listien and insult The alliance between France
AID the United States, the result of his eorte WAS
subsequently acknowledged by the Londsn Oily.
Review, to have" enhanced the necessity OF ar
ranging our England'sl American differences"
These difficulties have since been settled, and to
Mr.. Casrs bold determination, while minister to
France, is considerable credit due that they have
been peacefully settled. What to .imd minds
ef,en appears dangerous and hazardous, by bold
and able minds is seen to be the only cOulse Of
safety.
Thank God, while q spirit Of svarico and craven
selfshaess is abroad that there are some ren
who have nobleness enough to measure our ceun-
try's destiny by more extended rule Ii these are
Gen. Coss's sins in the estimation Of the Whigs--
we tell them that these ale the bright spots in
his hissery-ths noblest acts Of his liio,-and SO
esteemed by his country.

TAMP1Co, Wednesday Night, Feb. II.
DEAR DELTA The rumor sent you this

The advance of Santa Asna frem San Lu-

receipt of the news Of battle, either at thai,
place or at Monterey, and from that they
more readily credited the report. The force

have said before, there is generally some
fire from where there is sort Of snoke is

The account, as gathered il last night,
is little more in detail, than is set forth in
my first letter. On the approach Of Santa

BY these advices we learn that Santa Anna has

formed by men from all parties, Canalizo sue
ceeding Gen. Almonte in the War Department.
The Message of Gen. Salas, the acting Presi-
dent to the Congress, expatiated upon the war
with the United States, and expressed the most
stern determination to carry it on with vigor,
declaring that il was only just begun, and that
it might be expected to continue for period of
twenty years
BY resolve which was passed on the 2lst ult.
the President and Vice President Of the Repub-
lie were required to take an oath to "sustain
the independence the Republic, and the in
tegrity Of its territory as well as to observe
the Constitution of 1924, This appears to be
the only measure which has any bearing upon
the results of the war, with the exception of
appropriation bills-indications and expressions
of an unmstakeable character as to the course
marked out by the authorities of Mexico.
With regard to the mo ovements of the army,
there is nothing definite, five may except q
