there, in great abundance, and that those

such . creedP The very idea would rob
government Of its strongest bulwark in
the hour Of need. Our free institutions
rely upon the virtues Of the people, and
their love Of country, for support. Incul-
cate the idea that patriotism has no nobler
impulses than the love Of money, and you
eradicate republicanism from the land and
cast q whitening bIight over the prospect Of
American institutions. You render our ar

A FEDERAL ISLANDER NAILED TO
THE COUNTER.

sod FusS-and- Feathers" Of the Colum-
Ibia MOI Statesman, still rants and froths
most ferociously because he cannot make
it appear, in early life, that Gen. Cass was
a Federalists. He has labored with a spir-
it that deserves q better cause, for weeks,
to fasten the odium of his own party leaders
to the Jefersonian Republican Cass, from
his earliest political career to his nomina-
ton by the democratic republican party for
the Office Of President. The grounds upon
which he eudeayors to sustain his charge
are contsised in vague and idle tales, that
|Csss, while a teacher of a latin school in
Delaware, appeared with a black cockade
lin his hat. Now when we take into CON-
sideration the fact that Gen. Csss was but
seventeen years old at the time, about which
the Statesman writes, it renders the whole
story about his teaching aschool highly i'm
probable. He quotes from a Wilmington
paper that it was a latin school and from
Niles' Register that it was a grammar school
Cas- age is better evidence than both
that he taught no school at all. The issue
that he wishes to prove, however, is that
Cass was a Federalist. In his effort to do
which he refers US to Niles Register where
he says it is stated that Cass appeared with
1.-The black cockade in his hat while teacher
of this school. Upon what the Register
says, then, hangs the Statesm0n's hopes Of
cOnvictiug Gen. Cass of Federalism. Hear
what the Register says in vol. AZ, page ls.
the same quoted by the Statesman. Read
lit We miscreants of falsehood and defsms-
ton, and blush for your want Of moral hon
esty:
"Gov. Csss, on his first appearance in
public life, was the vindicator and support
er Of Mr.. JEFFERSON, and received
from that republican patriarch, distinguish
ed marks Of his confidence. From that
day to this, Gov. Csss has been identified
with the republican party, and most signal
'ly marked his devotion to i. in the darkest
hours Of the last war"

amusing to see the confident assertions put
forward, weekly and daily, BY the wing
press, expressing their confidence in the
certainty Of the election of old "Zack,"
that emo future event can be more certain"
&c., when their doubts and fears, clothed in
words eff exortation, are conspicuous in al
most every column. The New York Week
Iy Express, a rabid Taylor paper, after
using the above quoted assertions says:
ssLet all, who are dissatisfied wings, ask
each other, 'where am I to go?' What is
the refuge, if we cut loose from the nOmi-
Inees of the whig convention, and in what
but locofocoism shall we end?"
Why one would suppose from the first
assertions, and others similar, there
was no necessity for such words of exorts-
ton. Ifthsre is such harmony and strength
in the wing camp asto bring about TsylOr's
lection beyond all doubt, why this mani
festation Of uneasiness and this afectIonate
appeal for the support Of the ticket2 The
fact is, wing principles are hoord, and con-
