Mr.. WISES OPINION OF GEN. Glass;
In order to show how circumstances"
sometime change mems opinions. we are
induced to extract the following from
Document No. 1914, of the House Of Re-
representatives., Cd session. 9th Congress.
in which the reader will see what was
then the opinion of Mr.. Henry A. Wise.
respecting Gen. LEWIS CAss. no,r the
nominee of a portion of the so-styled
..Democra,ic party for the high office of
President of the United States. The
document relates to an inquiry into the
administration of the Executive Depart
men,s.-Ilcr. Ga=.
Mr.. Wise, being under oath. testified
as follows:
II believe that LEWIS CASS. Secre-
tary of War. was engaged in specializing
in the public lands while Secretary OF
War: that he made exorbitant allowances
to favortes. paid one for services never
pcrformed; another, after he had full
knowledge that the favorite had forged
his signatures: permitted commissions un-
der him to be ante-dated. and has order
ed treasury warrant TO be paid to the as
ssnment Of disbursing officer who gam
bled il away. after it had been protested
by a deposit bank. and was countcrman-
ded by the Secretary of the Treasury;
and to have been guilty of several other
acts of violation of duty
! The ''late Gen Crazy" whom Tom
Corwin SO numerically demolished in Is.
40. has made his appearance on the stump
IN favor OF Gen. Cass. Upon a recen,
occasion. he made a vigorous effor, to en-.
list under Senator Foote'S banner. The
Detroit Advertiser reports him thus:
"Were again a member Of Congress. y
said the General. land any member should
introduce the slavery discussion into tina,
body. I aron7d ro.e to hare him taken on,

in Mississippi and Michigan.

Ma. EDITok:

/ observed in the Seventy-Six Of the 28tE
ult., Q communication which for real asegn-
ness Of spirit exceeds any thing which. I
ever read in my life. The writer falsely
styles himself GA Fsrmet'' though -
satisfied, he never tiled 80 Acre 81 eTu6ad
in bis life, but it is no less a personags. than
the great head Of the "Cliqas" Who has
attempted to brow-beat the voters, and die
tate the political action of the county for
the last two years. This smisbls mar
makes the most willful perversion Of truths
with the hope Of, exciting the most upjssss
and unfounded p~rejudices against MI.
Henderson in the present Canvass WISH
ing to excite prejudice in the minds Of Mr..
Peppers friends, he has mesnly endesv.
|ored to create the impression that Mr.. Hen.
desired that Mr.. Murray should be
our candidate for the County Clerkship last
year instead of Mr.. Pepper, though NJ.
Pepper, Mr.. Murray and every one ac-
quainted with the facts of the case, knOucn
that he was the avowed friend Of Mr..
Peppers. The fact must be equally -
well known to him, but nevertheless he
must endesvor, to make q false impression
amongst those who know nothing of the
Of the case, with the hope
Of deceiving and rrejudicing The minds Of
a few of Mr.. Peppers friends.
He has taken this course because it is
known in every part Of the county by
means of the circulation Of the Bsnnery
that MIR. Murray is from principle, an opru
of. Mr.. Henderson's election
IF the case was reversed, and Mr.. PEI
per stood before the county, as Mr.. Murray
does, so that there could be no chance Of
creating prejudice in that quarter, aud Mr..
occupied the position which Mr..
now does. this man would be mean
'nough to shape his language so as to contrs-
iict what he now says. This base appeal to
prejudice will be secuted by every high
man, andif Mr.. Pepper possesses
he spirit, which / hope and believe he does
f he has the pride of a man, and one spark
II resentment, he will meet it as it deserves,
f the writer really believed that Mr. Hem
preferred the election Of MIR. MUIR
ay 1t is the most direct insult to Mr.. Pep
YER to make this appeal to his prejudice
lie must have formed a low estimate of his
character indeed.
After making several other false state
nents in a communication ofless than TWEEN
) lines, this writer concludes by saying
hat Mr.. Henderson will be beaten at the
'olls " because he Is not qualified for the Of
fee to tOhich he Gspires." From those few
words the people Of the whole county will
now just what sort Of estimate to put upon
that he has said. MI. Henderson not
for the oA;ce!!! Then in the
Iame of Heaven what will be said Of his
'pponent. Every man who has heard Mr..
henderson must be convinced, that as
'ublic speaker, he has no superior in the
and perhaps no one in the state
