GEN. CAss IN New YoRK.-The following is
from the Wayne county IN. ~ Sentinel, an
ardent Locofoco paper, which, on receiving the
nomination Of Cass and Butler, placed their
names unhesitatingiy at the head Of its col
umns. This is really one of the most striking
and significant indications that we have seen
or could wishao see:
Down goes our Cass ticket. We bow to
the Democratic sentiment. Reference par
ticularly 10 the expression upon this question
by the Democracy of this assembled district
A number ofindividuals placed Cass flag up
on the top of the Democratic liberty pole il
this village, on Saturday morning last. A
large meeting of the Democrats of this town
in the evening of the some day, BY unan
NOUS vote. directed the same to Be taken dowr
on Monday morning, and it was done.

HoRRID AFFAIR.-We learn, says the ST

day last. David Cooper, a young man about
seventeen years of age, killed his uncle Sam'l.
Cooper, near Rencheler's five miles from town.
II is represented, that these persons belonged TO
an emigrating party from Tennessee, on their
way TO Arkansas; that the young mans father
and uncle were drinking, that the father had
whipped his mother, and the uncle said he
would beat her to DEATH Some alteration tool

part ofhis mother. The boy attempted to &C.

Young Cooper seized rail, struck the old man
blow over the head and killed him. The
young mar delivered himself into custody a
Belleville, and an examination was TO take
place yesterday afternoon. The whole affair
from its inception TO its close. is a heart sick
ening one, and may Justly be charged as thu
legitimate result of whiskey drinking.

KroKUK.-Some CT the papers, says the
Warsaw Signal, are making quite lamenta-
ton over the death Of the Sac Indian Chief
keokuk, and passing fine eulogiums upon him
which the truth will not warrant. The fact is
Keokuk was cruel and willy savage-capri
cious and tyrannical-exceedingly fond o
money, greatly addicted to gambling, horse ra
cling, and drunkenness, and the accompanyin:
vices, and possessing neither the confidence o
his tribe, nor the respect of white men.

THIRTY THOUSAND WHIGs IN CouscIL--The
postponed Wing Ratification meeting took
place last nigh in Monument Square The eve
ming was delightful Notwithstanding the
announcement, that MIR. Webster could not be
present, in consequence of severe indisposi-
ton, and the fact that a very large meeting
was held last evening, yet the people, poured
out in thousands from all parts of the city, and
before nine o'clock the entire square was
densely crowded, presenting congregated
mass of not less than thirty thousand SOULS
All the windows and doors of the surrounding
houses were filled mostly with ladies, who
lent their smiles, as if to complete the ratifica-
ton, The stand was handsomely decorated,
and fine band discoursed al intervals most ell
oquent music.
MIR. Thompson, Of Indiana, who spoke for
over two hours and half, and during the
whole period so completely enchanted the vast
audience that scarcely person left his posi-
ton from the beginning to the end of his re-
marks. We have time only in this brief no
tice to say that it was one of the ablest and
and most eloquent political speeches we have
ever listened to. Every argument was sound,
and presented so forcibly that conviction must
tGilow. He was repeatedly and loudly cheer
ed, and though having spoken an unusual
length Of time, the multitude did hot seem
willing that he should stop, which we think is
the highest evidence of his merit as speaker.
Having concluded his remarks,
Coleman Yellott, of Baltimore, took thu
stand and spoke for some time in his usual hap
Ply manner. After closing his remarks, the
hour being late, on motion the meeting ad-
journed. A large procession headed by band
of music, flags. banners, transparencies, &c.
escorted MIR. Thompson to his lodgings at Bar
NUNS Hotel, where they gave him three hearty
cheers.
The meeting was altogether one Of the larg.
est and most enthusiastic we have ever seen
on any similar occasion. The warmest enthu.
slasm and most perfect unanimity of feeling
prevailed. The cheers for Tailor and Fillmore
were loud and long and fter repeated. II was
decidedly a most glorious meeting and gave ev
dence that nothing can stop the mighty ava
lanche which is now sweeping over the coun
try for old lack. The spirit is now aroused
and i: cannot slumber, until Gen. Taylor is

WASHINGTON. June e. 1929

Senator Bright, who scintilated from the
Travelling tail of candidate Cass to address a
bunker meeting at Troy, n. Y, said, "all

that terrible conflict-was TO set on old WIFI

Oh tits burning shame, that man occupy
ing the high position OF u. s. Senator, should
thus undertake TO disparage and sheer at the
personal bearing of the great conqueror in the
most glorious battle of the age. The country
is told by this Senator that Gen. Taylor did
nothing during the battle Of Buena Vista, bu,
sit on old Whitley and say-"fight 'em, boys
fight en-" Although the old chieftain guided
all the great movements upon that immortal
field, it is not claimed BY his friends that he
made any speeches during the battle halfas long
as those Mr.. Bright sometimes makes in the SEN
ate. Possibly he did not deem il an occasion
for oyermuch oratory. Sitting calmly upon
his old war-horse in the midst of the iron
storm that was hurting through the air from
the innumerable batteries Of the enemy, few
brief sentences such as flight 'em. boys, fight
EN-" and "a little more grape, Capt. Bragg,
constituted the sum total of all his efforts al
rhetorical display. Lord Wellington, at the
most critical moment of the battle of Water
loo, merely said sup guards and at 'em. Pro-
badly if Senator Bright had commanded either
at Waterloo or Buena Vista, he would have
made terrible stump speech to his soldiers
full five hours long, but he would have been
very careful to select a stump where he would
have been in no danger Of having his speech

0s-If the Locofocos of Indiana have the
least ambition TO make even a respecta bic show
of strength at the next election, they had
better appoint committee TO kick hapman
out of the State. Here is a paragra ph
from late number Of his Indianapolis Senti-
mel:
"Taylor swore that our volunteers were con-
ards, and of course the Quakers who are To-
ries and all other Tories will hurrah for him
no matter If he had cut the t..oats of their
mothers.
The Quakers are numerous in Indiana
Their votes have great influence upon the re-
suit of every election in that State They are

be found on earth, yet here We have locofoco

tinction as Tories" and saying that they
would hurrah for man "pho had cut the
throats of their nlothersir
OF course we do not know how the Quakeis
will vote at at the November election, or
whether they will vote al all, but we know
that they are the friends Of peace, and we do
not think that the Sentinel denunciation and
blackguardism are at all calculated either to
force them to vote against Gen. Taylor, who
notwithstanding his profession of arms, is fer
vent in his devotion TO the spirit of peace, or
to drive them into voting for Cass, who, from
his youth up 10 his nearly three score and ten
has been raging for war, and whose thoughts
are as bloody as the dreams of famishei tiger
