Letter from Gen. Cass In relation to the War and
the Wilmot Proviso.

the Wilmot Proviso.
The following highly interesting correspondence has
been furnished to for publication and we hasten to lay
it before our readers.
The letter of Gen. Cass discusses the two most mo-
mentous questions of present public policy with a
manly candor and clearness which do him high honor
patriotic statesman, and with force of argument and
illustration worthy at once of his great subject and
of his distinguished reputation. Apart from its
manifest conflict with the spirit and the compromises
of the constitutionapart from its sectional injustice
and its interference with the local legislative rights
of the people Of the territory which it is appedthe
agitation Of the Wmo Proviso this time, is plainly
suit Of the war. We commend the just views and the
unansweable reasoning of Gen. Cass upon this point to
the especial attention OF our readers
It is at suspicious omen for country and
subject of just pride and congraulaon for the democrat
ic party that those of its leading statesmen who have
recently declared their opinions upon this subject have
shown just and elevated an appreciation of the COM
and equal rights OF all sections of conederacy,
and wise regard to that national harmony among
selves which only be preservedb the full maintenance
of those rights in spirit of Cancellation and compromise
and in conformity with the provisions Of the constitution
With the "haTvesthOme" letter OF Mr.. Buchanan, and
the Ptsburg and Holldaysburg speeches of Mr. Dallas
this production from the pen of General Cass will take
its place in honorable testimony of the patriotic and
catoy counses which, in the present crisis, inspire the
policy of the democratic party
But will no longer detan readers from the letter
itself.
WASHINGTON, Dec 30, 1917.
SIR We have learned, through various channels that
letter has been recently addressed by you to dstn
gushed citizen of Tennessee, decaratve of your
on the subject of the Wilmot Proviso. Having hereto
fore read with high satisfaction what has emanaed in
different forms, from Messrs. Buchanan and Dallas
opposition to the ProUiso and believing that the promu
CATION of sound views from leading democratic statesmen
cannot be without good effect at this time in facilitating
the settlement of the momenous question alluded to-
take the liberty of requesting that you will if not dsa
greeable to yourself allow your letter referred 10, to be
