of the election of Gen. TAYLOR to the Presidency,
and MI1LARD FILLMORE to the Vice Presidency
of the United States-that you are in favor of and
WILL if elected, advocate and support the doctrine

ORSAMUS COLE.

The nomination of this gentleman as the Wing
entire District with degree of enthusiasm which
speaks well for his election. The Democratic
papers in this District without an exception we
believe, speak in the highest terms of Mr.. COLE
as gentleman of high character and correct bus
mess habits, and deservedly popular wherever
known. Should he be elected, (and we confident
ly believe he will be) Wisconsin will have at least
one Representative IN our National Legislature OF
whom she may justly be proud. We would say
to our Wing friends in other portions Of the Dis
trict do your duty, and all is safe.

GENERAL CASS or THE WII.MOT
PROVISO.

The Union ann0unces by authority that
Gen. Cass writes 30 letters on Political topics
to friend or foe, since be accepted the Baltimore
Nomination. Hundreds Of inquiries as to his
opinions on various points have been addressed
to him, all ofwhieh remains unanswered. This
is doubtless discreet; but is it candid is it
fearless! Is not its chivalry entirely Of the
sword-breaking order!
But though Gen. Cass does not write line
for the public eye Father Richie most In
dustriously scribbles in his behalf, and in his
last assumes to contradict, as if by authority,
the charge circumstantially preferred by SEN
ator Miller of New Jersey. that in 1916 he
(Cass) was decidedly, ostentatiously favorable
to the Wilmot Proviso. The Unions article
is feeble enough, and ais to meet Senator Mil
ler's explicit charges; but the cool effrontery
of the attempted contradiction is It's most re-
markable feature. Father Rs memory must
surely be giving way, for he has forgotten that
Gen Cass himself, In his Nicholson letter,
says:
'.The Wilmot Proviso has been before tn e
country some time. 1t has been repeatedly
discussed in Congress, and by the public
press. 1 am strongly Impressed t0ih the oDin-
ion that great change has been going on in
the public mind upon this uubject-in my

solving themselves into convictions, that the
principles 1t involve should be kept out of the
National Legislature and left to the people of
the Confederacy In their respective local gov
ernments.''
