GEN. CAss-HIs INTREP1DTTY.

From most interesting. narrative in the Albany
Argus we take the following striking incident in the
life of Gen. Cass while Governor Of MICHIGAN Ter
ritory: p. ..,'.i ..5"' .'
" In 1920, he extended his comprehensive views
and policy to the area of the upper lakes and the
source of the Mississippi with double reference TO
the character OF the Indian population placed under
his charge, and the resources and geographical ea-
lures of that immense and unknown region. In this
extensive journey, he concluded treaties with several
tribes. prepared for establishing fort at Salt St.
Marie and caused deputation of ChipPewas, from
point five hundred miles above the Falls of Saint
Anthony to make peace with their ancient enemies
the Sioux. In this expedition he was accompanied
by scientific men, to observe the natural history and
topography of the country. At ST. Mary's Falls
near the outlet Of Lake Superior, the Chippewa In
dlans opposed his progress, broke up the council in
"a violent manner, and retiring their encampment
on an elevation ran up the British flag in defiance
The experience Of General Cass had induced him to
bring along from the port of Michilimackinac de-
tachment of artillery armed with muskets added to
which the seven members of his travelling family,
Including savans and guides, were armed with short
rifles But he would not suffer an armed man to ae-
company him. Taking the interpreters alone, he
pursued the path through gorge and up the sandy
activity to the Indian camp. Going directly to the
lodge of the hostile chief who had offered this indg-
nifty, he pulled down the fac with his own hands
and trampled upon it. The Indians looked upon the
movement with amazement. They had eighty load
ed guns In their tents, but not gun or, Implement
OF offence was ralsed-not word was uttered. But
mol SO win "en. Cass. with his eyes flashing fire,
and standing upon the degraded ensign, he told them
that they were within the jurisdiction of the United
States-that red and white men were alike bound to
respect its laws, and that he exercising the pow
eer of the President, should never permit foreign
flag to wave on its soil. He then returned to his
camp with the flag. 1t was from this moment that
this people, struck with his air and voice, and tho
ntrepidity of the act began truly to regard him as
the great man of the nation, and hailed him as the
American Kosinon. 1t not yet noon, and before
evening closed they had sought another council, and
agreed to the terms of the treaty of the 10th June
1920. wide Indian Treaties, p. 28O.)

MARTIN VAN buren,. 1t will be seen that this
parsonage, long the recipient of the honors and the
confidence Of the Democratic party, has written to
port Gen. Cass, the regular candidate of the Democ-
racy of the Union What deed is this to sully the
sunset of a life the morning and the meridian Of
which was SO full of greatness He will fall from
his high place in the Democratic affections at once
and will sink so low to be beyond all hope of po-
litica resurrection. The great Democratic party will
shake him off as the dew-drop from the lions name.
We have no regrets for his apostacy to those who
have served him so long but we mourn to see how
codiy he has returned the ardent support Of his eoun
trymen., This act alone should close up the ranks
of the regular Democratic masses in New York in
solid and compact array, and will, we belive, cover
our banner with victory there.

How STANDS THE Issue : From all parts of the
State have the most flattering accounts of the
frmness of the people, in sustaining the great prn-
ciples of the Democratic creed and of giving their
support to those in whose keeping those principles
will be placed during the next four years. In some
places however, the politicians still not only
the fence, anxously waiting for the developments of
the future, but they the riders to the stakes, and
prominent in their elevated positions, evince decd
ed halucination, to the proper action which the
people of the South should take "The' State of
South Carolina is firm in her rejection of General
Taylor. This is fixed fact, and those whose hopes
died at the developments of the Philadelphia Wing
Convention now look with horror upon his associa-
ton with the notorious scum, which has gathered
upon the face of the body polite in the shape Of that
inconsistent, BITTER disorganizing and leprous chal
cter, who figures the nominee of the Wings, for
Vice President.
We know of nothing, other than the political creed
of General Taylor himself, that would sooner bring
the non-commital politicians of the South to their
proper senses, than the probability of contingency,
such as having like Millard Fillmore the Pre-
case of President Tyler. 1t is not our province to
we cannot see how Southern papers, we care not
what be their creed, place notorious
and so Objectionable at the head of their columns, and
call for his support, simply because he is allied to
the same party with General Taylor. 1t is in
consistency which cannot be accounted for. There
is no Southern man who could vote for Millard Fill
more under any circumstances, and not prove
to his duties as Southern citizen. He would be-
come by the act traitor to himsel-a double traitor
to the South. ...... F.. ,ot - South Car0knian.

South Carolinia, held at that city on the 26th ult., and over which you were the presiding office.
 This deliberate expression Of the lriend- y feeling existing towards me among large and respectable portion of the citi- zens of your distinguished State, has been received by me with emotions of profound gratitude !; and though it be but a poor re- turn for such high and unmerited honor, Ibeg them to accept my heartfelt thanks. ia Concluding that this nomination, like all others which have had the honor of re- ceiving from assemblages of my fellow. citizens in various parts of the Union, has been generously offered me, without pledges or conditions, it is thankfully &C., ceT'ed; and beg you to assure my friends,
The State guard., 1848-09-05


 has been waved over the assembly of the selfstyled friends of peace, and mighty camp has risen in its place. Tho gar ments of the civilian are dyed blood red. The silver tones of the Ashland orator are drowned in the wid clash of martial mu- sic. The forum is forgotten in the wild glare of the 6irouac.
 Ii is the darling vocation of woman to sound the praises of the hero. Our hands are made to deal ou. the prizes of the tour ney--our lips are made to utter the pane- gyric of the victors. But while we glad ly discharge each new obligation as it ari- ses, we preserve vntarnished the memory of past achievements. The victory of to-day receives from us in it's appropriate need, the victory of quarter ofa century ago ma intains its dominion over OUT recol- lections. Now, we are called to ra,se &C., clamations for the conquest of a weak foe in the heart of his own domiuions, but while we bestow our plaudits, the never dying echo of noblcr strife returns. Let garlands be woven for the conquerors of the Mexicans, but the laurels of the victors of the Briton can never be out.rivalled,
 We cannot mingle in the contest be. tween the hero of tho war of ls45 and the twin-herocs of the war of 1912. Ours is the humble duty of girding on the sword, but as we gird it, we will pour forth our hearts in iervent aspiration for the success of the patriotic candidates of the Demo. cratic party, fearless in the field and re- proachless in the council.
 To those ladies, more fortunate than ourselves. who are in attendance on this interesting occasion, we desire to manifest our good will. We know no more fitting method of exhibiting to them our appreci- aton of the motives which have brought them together than the one we have selec- ted. We send them the present which accompanies this address, to evince to them that while we remember our obliga- lions 10 our country We do not forget the peculiar duties of our sex. We are A. merean women, and American house. wives, and we beg our sisters of Dekalb to find the evidence of both in the cake which is now presented. Judge of our patriotism by the exterior adon nents, test our domestic ixnoweledge by free experi- ments on the substantial interior.
