Judge Butler maintained that the only aid
we could obtain from the north, was 10 come
from the Democratic party, and that even
that aid was so precarious as not to be eS-
pected or TO be relied upon,
He spoke in few words, of the candidates
for the Presidency. Gen. Taylor was an up
right, honorable and glorious soldier, and, in
some respects, remarkable man, but he was
identified with the Wing party, and must, in
great measure, be controlled by the Wing
leaders.
Gen. Cass was gentleman of various Ca
pericnc, and attainments, kind in his DISPOSE
ton, and without bigotry in his naturc-cer-
tunly without sectional bigotry. and was full
ly identified with the Democratic party-the
only party at the North and Northwest,
which could possibly be favorable to South
ern interests.
At the conclusion nt the speech oil our ois-
tinguished Senator, Colonel Burt followed
in a handsome manner, ard with equal frank
ness and clearness, expressed his views on the
poli,cal questions of the day, con6ning his
remarks more exclusively d the relative merlts
of The two Candidates who are striving ior the
Presidential chair.
He bestowed upon Cen. Taylor every
praise for his honesty, hisintelgence, and for
the great glory he has acquired Tor the nall"n.
No General of modern lines, had Tough,
more brilliant battle, thsn the Battle oil buena

When the General wa first made known 10
tho country as an indeundent Candidate for
the Presidency, he hai!s his appearance VIII"
pride and pleasure, with lope and expectation.
His expectations were SO, disappointed. He
no langer had hope. Tlse was no ground LOT
J hope. The Independent Candidate was as
fully identified with Wig measures as the
"chiefest" of Wings.
Cen. Csss was not altosther reliable, but he
was Democrat, and rferabla to wing.
Col. Burt discussed II claims oil The Cans
dida,es with much ubiIii and enlarged upon
the subjects which wer debated at our last
session Of Congress and'hich will most likely
be again debuted at our ut Session, expressing
his opinions on them all, 'ith the manliness and

tive of the people.
