Frustrated again


 The first charge against Gen. Cass of being Federalist in early youth seems to have cnlnated from the Gainesville (Ohio) Courier, ''lree soip' paper, and a SUD- porter of Gen. Taylor. In this charge the editor calls upon MT. Robert Mitchell for proof-well what does Mir. Mitchell say; Read his letter in answer:
 From the Zsnesville Courier
 D. H. LYMAN, Esq. Sir-In your weekly paper of June %, which has just come under my eye, the following lan- guage is used in an article in relation to Gen. Lewis Cass "And we may also remark, since our fellow-citizen, Dr. Mitchell, has been cited as a witness in this matter, that he, too, well knew that Cass when he came to Zanesville, was a very'recent convert from Federalism"
 By what authority you have made the above declaration 1 know not you arc, however, entirely misinformed on the sub ject. r f..5s-,.
 knor no such Ming
 became acquainted with Lewis Cass in the fall of the year 1906, on my first visit to Muskingum county, at which time took house to reside in, and brought my family out in Febuary, 1907. At that time Lewis Cass was firm and consist ent Democrdt. In those days 1 never heard, either among his political friends or opponents, any thing resembling a charge of his ever having changed his political sentiments. He was elected member of the Legislature by the Democratic party of Muskingum county, and am certain, if Gen. Cass had before that time been a Fcderalist, it would not have escaped his opponent. in the campaign but l heard no such thing, and belieUe no such thing. I have, from the date of my acquaint- ance with Gen. Cass until the present time, always esteemed him sound politi- clan, and he has certainly given abundant evidence of his love of country and as a statesman, I think he has no superior among the great men of the nation. M
 You will publish this note, and oblige yours, ~ F ROBERT MITCHELL.
 Zanesyille, June 6, l646. A ? Now, what will the whigs say to this i; Here Gen. Cass is proven to have been a Democrat for 42 years, by the very man that was called on to prove his Federal ism. This though is not satisfactory, says the whigs. Niles Register is the place to get the proof Very strange that whigs should go to such a paper for proof but however, at the time that the Register al. ludes to, Gen. Cass was not in New Hampshire, but in Marietta, Ohio, study ing law, and it is placed beyond dis pute that Cass never taught GrammeI school in that state, and was at that timt but about IS or la years old. The read CT is therefore referred to their own judge ment to see what truth theresis in all thi noise abou, Federalism, which has very re gently become so very bitter to them-
 GT Gen. Cass was born in Ne, Hampshire, and is now citizen of Mich igan.a Gen. Butler was born in, and is sti U resident of Kentucky. Wan

 declared his principles at last"
 No! He continues that impertubabe silence which has so long provoked the ire of the Clay whigs. m3ss
 To be serious. It is said that General Taylor has principles. What are they, is the natural inquiry?
 In the first place he declares that he is moderate whig' What evidenceo be. sides his own declaration havc the whigs that he is one of them It is said he nev- ei has voted. He never held civil office. He has never co.operated with the whigs. But grant he is whig. What sort of a one is he He says he is not ''partisan whig." John Tyler called himself whig, but what was the fruit of his whiggery The whigs shook the bush to scare up "birds of all sorts of feathers" in IS 40, but it must be admitted, 'sthat the demo. crats ran of, with the game" Let Gen. Taylor tell what he under stands the word "whig"to mean. 6.,
 Again he says, in regard to the tariff, the currency, and internal improvement, ]" he would let Congress take its own course. Can this be whiggery. It was for high tariff, National Bank, and a general system of Internal Improvement, to be used as great spunge, whereby to absorb large surplus revenue created by ahigh tariff. M
 Has Whiggery so far yeilded these dog mas, as to leave them to the ever varying hands of national legislation Is not the great Whig party, portion of the pco- pie, and as citizens of this great Union, have they no wants upon these subjects 2 Have they no preferences as to the legis- lativc policy of the country? Assuredly they have. If so will they not contend for that preference in this canvass !. If they contend, must it not be under the head oi their candidate, who is to be at the head and front of those preferences or princi. plesl. We are at a loss then to imagine position so contradictory as that assumed by Gen. Taylor who looks to the whigs for elevation, assuring them at the same time, that he will not be the vindicator oI their principles. You the whigs, who want bank, high tariff, and general internal system, must vote for me for pres. ident, but if am elected, will allow a Democratic congress to build up the very opposite of your theory of doctrine. Such is in effect. the language of Gen. Taylor to the whig party. s
 He denies saying that he was in favor of the tariff of '46, or the sub. Treasury. He may have never said that he was in 1 favor of these measures, but he does mol deny that he is in favor of them. He must have some opinion upon these sub jects, unless he has not yet gotten through his political horn- What is tha opinion ? Tellit to the country.

TUNE-Dandy Jim. The federalsts wirh hope elate; Say they can carry New York State; But when the work they come to try, They'll fad their calculations high
 For firmly hand in hand we'll go, And strike Democratic blow And Cass and Butler, heroes great,
 Willarumph m the "Empire State" 1" In South Carolina they pretend, To recognize federal friend; But when her glorious voice is heard. The'll find it only "hope deferred"
 And Mississippi's noble vale,
 Will answer her from hill aud dale Anc Cass and Butler, heroes great, Will sweep ihe old "Palmetto State. Old Massachusetts will not stand, The tricks that Taylor's friends have plan ned.
 To hitch her to soldiers name, Despite the "gallant Harry's fame
 So in the East we'll run them hard,
 Since principles they disregard,
 And Cass and Butler, heroes great
 Will triumph in the ''Old Bay State. And ID Ohio, coons will find. That democrats are much inclined, To give them such drubbng there, Ina, they will die of deep despair;
 For all her hardy pioneers,
 Send up loud democratic cheers;
 And Cass and Butler, heroes great,
 Will triumph in the Buckeye State. And every other State is true, Excepting always one or two, Whose abolition fancy craves, Amaleamation with the slaves
 In these we find whig doctrine right,
 Exhibited in bicck and lohite;
 And Cass and Butler, heroes great,
 With them cannot amalgamate In North or South, in East or West, The federal coons will find DO rest; Aud Taylor must, though brave he be, Surrender to democracy
 For with unbroken front we'll go.
 And strike proud victorious blow:
 And Cass and Butler, heroes great,
 Columbia's name will elevate Then democrats all go to work, Let none outside the ramparts Turk; And when the glorious battles done, Adjourn 10 meet in Washington
 And there let cheer on cheer arise.
 Until their echoes reach the Skies;
