Ihad two Nephcws in Mexico.

The detroit Advertiser publishes the
following extract from letter written in
Troy, Oakland county, Michigan, by a
gentleman who was inclined to vote for
Van Buren previous to the publication of
Cass's letter to Robert Wilson, Esq:
"* *The letter to
Wilson has done meap. j did not sup
pose it possible. |, at the time this let
ter was written, had t'oo nepheVs in Mer
icO under Gen. Taylor. The wretch, ,accor-
ding TO his letter to Bob, was willing the
two boys should be butcherd, the war
kept up, and thousands ofolhers butch
cred, rather than vote for the Wilmot
Proviso. He says it will be death to the
war, and to the Democratic party"
The inference drawn by the writer of
this letter is irresistible. Lewis Cass
preferred rather to sacrifice thousands of
lives than to do an act which would ter
inmate the war! Contrast this infamous
position with that assumed by Gen. Tay-
lor at Monterey. Rather than sacrifice one
life unnecessarily, he sanctioned a capit-
ulation. For this humane act, Gen. Cass.

outrage upon little German girl by two
returned volunteers, says: +. r.,.......
"And now, Mr.. Editor, what do you
think this mob has resolved itselfinto! A
melancholy yet SPLENDID humbug! The
little girl was not ouly unmolested. but
the poor soldiers were altogether inno-
cent themselves. They were indicted
because the avagcions and almost brutal
father ofthe gitl hopedto get some mon
ey in the shape OF land warrants from
them. The father himself, fearing an ar
rest has fled the city, and now the tide OF
public feeling is settled against him and
in favor Of the prisoners. What world
we live in, aud what being of contempt

Gen. Cass and the Irish.

The Washington Union of Saturday
last, says that Gen, Cass is great friend
of the Irish, because he made speech
in favor of the Irish Relief bill in the last
Congress. The Union says:
Gen. Cass voted for the Irish Relief
bill, and was also its most eloquent advo-
cate in the United States Senate, as the
following we copy from the Congress
ional Globe, will show"
Very well: but will our venerable co.
temporary answer US the two following
questions!
l. Did not Gen. Cass the next day af
ter making that same speech, sit in his
seat and refuse tn rOte FIR the bill when
Mr.. Crittenden's motion to take it up was
voted down by the Locofoco party!

grounds against the Irish Relief bill as
unconstitutional? = N. Y Tribune.

State Dcbi---PubIic DefauIrers.

The Springfield Republic contains
glowing account of the Wing Rally there
on Saturday week. The meeting was
large one, and addresses were made by
NJ. B. Corwin, Mr.. Henry Stanbery and
Mr.. Samuel Galloway.
Mr.. Stunbery, among other things, SAYS
the Republic, spoke OF the State debf,
and Of the plan devised by the Wings 10
remove it. 1t was not brought upon US
by the Wings, but by foolish Locofoco
legislation. Under their reign Increased,
IL continued increasing, while they provi-
Ged no means TO pay it, but were continu-
ally borrowing money 10 pay the interest
accrulng upon it-a course OF profligacy
that could end in nothing but bankruptcy
and ruin. When the LocOs came into
power the State debt amounle d TO some
thing more than five millions of dollars.
For this The Wings had more than four
huadred miles Of canal, which yielded a
handsome revenue to meet the debt Gre
ated by the work. Under locofoco rule
that debt had increased to more than
nineteen millions, with very few valuable
Improvements TO show for it. One good
river (the Muskingum,) had been chan
ged into bad canal, and canals had
been dug which are wholly useless This
enormous amount had been thrown away
upon works which proved to be of little
or no value, or baseIy squandered for pur-
poses Of political corruption. All the
salaries of the old Wing Board, with AL.
fred Kelley at their head, amounted to
81 500. Two oftheir number were prac.
tical engineers, aud for their services
were paid $l,250 each. They were
turned out of office exclusively on party
grounds, and their accounts with the State
were balanced to the utmost farthing.--

they required more than c,ght Mousand
dollars per annum to do the work of the
old board, and when they went out ol

choice for President, but his FIRST CHOICE
He believed him to be the very man fol
the present crisis, He intima,ed that he
would speak upon this subject in the
evening, and closed bis remarks.
Mr. Galloway then addressed the
meeting in an eloquent and most earnes
harangue, in which he exhibited, in the
most glowing colors, the inconsistency
of Wings who would leave the regular
organization TO follow after worn out po
litical proligates, whose whole public life
life had been opposition 10 the principle
now associated with their names. Mr.

What is more remarkable. in this connection.
is the fact important to the argument, that the

apportionment bill in that instrument, almost
identical with that of our State Constitution appor.
