Tho majorties in this county Tor oul
State and Congressional Nominees are mos
satisfactory. Nolwiths tanding our county
has been shorn of her fair proportions, she
comes 10 the work with more than her old
majorities for Democratic men and measures.
Aud what is done now will be out done, and
that largely, by the vote which will be given
for those true and gallant patriot-states-
men, Cass and Butler.
Fortwo years have the wings held control
OF the affairs Of the county. By a fraud,
successful at the time, vicrory was achieved,
and il was taken as but the beginning of in
roads destined ultimately to break down
Democratic ascendancy in the county. But
the whig clique counted without the people.
Though in the contest just concluded they
brought out for Auditor, The best and strong
est man in their party, gentleman Of unex-
cepi enable character, and made no regular
opposition to any other name on the ticket,
they are hopelessly defeated, by an unusual
majority. It's true that to sustain Mr.. Will
son they had recourse TO their old
trickery, and Misrepresentation, but it prov
ed milestone round his neck, rendering
more certain his inevitable defeat.
Mr.. Bell, who was the Democratic candi-
date, and whois elected, has succeeded equal
TO the expectations Of his warmest friends.
Amply qualified 10 discharge the duties of
his office, he will show his appreciation of
popular favor by a careful and satisfactory
attention TO the economical management of
the county affairs.
In proportion 10 our numbers our Demo
cracy can't be beat anywhere in the State.

GEN. CAss,s ALLOWANCES.

Instead Of the large amounts which the
maligners Of General Cass endeayor 10 make
il appear be received as extra compensation,
The entirc amount soreccivcd, during a long
and laborious service Of nineteen years,
could not have exceeded $l3,457 ,5O--lhe
whole of The remainder of The sums en-
braced in The documents fcfefred 10 being
for actual expenses and expenditures in the
public service BY which he did not profit a
dollar; and any fair minded and honorable
man, who will take the trouble 10 acquaint
hlmself with the character, extent, and val
lie of these services, cannot but be satisfied
that he received but small compensation
for Them. The nero isolated fact, in. the
performance Of the extra duties imposed up
on him, General Cass travelled upwards OF
$4,000 miles in open canoes, or through an
unexplored wilerness--on foot CT on horse
back--enconntering the greatest exposure,
privation, and toll, and frequently imminent
darger--of itself gives some indication Of
the value Of the services rendered by him,
and the very moderate, il not entirely made
quate, reward he received for them. His
life was one one OF continuous toll, difficult
", danger, responsibility, and sacrifice Of
personal comfort; while that of his dis,in-
gushed opponent--the candidate Of the
whig pariy--was one Of comparative case,
consisting, for the most part, Of only the for
NAL routine of light military duty at compar-
iiiyely unmporlant posts and stations. This
is not saidin disparagement of General Tag.
lor, but is merely stated as fact He no
doubt fulfilled, in The usual manner, The du-
ties that were required of him, and their not
being ofa more important character was sot
his fault; though we have never been able
to approve Of his incaulions advance inlo
tho murderous ambuscade Of the Oke-Cho
bee, nor Of his captious abandonment of the
war in Florida, without bringing it to close
this having been accomplished in com
paraively short period by his successor in
command, General Worth.
Estimated according to their value and re-
suits, money could scarcely compensate Gen.
Cass for the great and important services
rendered BY him, the sacrifices he made, and
ho danger he encountered. Their best re-
ward IS an intelligent and generous apprecia-
ion ofthem by his fellow'cilzens, and which,
n November next, they will fully show that
hey entertain.

Democratic Meeting.

On Monday evening last, one Of the larg-
est nssemblages we have seen collected tc-
ge,her in this place, met in the Brick School
House, aud organized by choosing P. B.
Holden, ESQ, as Chairman, when ]. NJ. Pal
mer, Esq, being called upon, delivered one
Of the ablest and most effective speeches
we have heard in the Northwest, on tho is
sues Of the State and National contests.--
In his remarks he dwelt with marked severi-
" upon the inconsistency of the wings of
this District, who in The same resolves in
which they declared, at Section Ten, Gen.
Taylor their choice for President, re-
solve the principle Of The Wilmot Pfoviso
TO be ofth highest importance in the con-
test, and their determination only to support
candidates favorable 10 that principle. The
declarations Of the South Carolina Convsn-
ton, which nominated Taylor and Buller,
repudate Cass as having suggested "bet-
tor way" TO prevent Slavery in the Terriio-
ries, than by the Wilmot Proviso, and nom-
mated Taylor as the especial champion of
slavery extension, one in sentiment with
them as planter, Shareholder, End southern
man; and for this nomination Taylor is es-
pecially grateful. AS southern Slave-hold-
'er tho south have implicit confidence in
Taylor He il pledged, if by threats Of dis
union and the corrupt influences at the COM
mand Of the peculiar institution, Congress
should pass law extending Slavery, NOT
TO VETO 1T. In this respect he differs from
Csss, who having taken the position Of nom
interference by Congress, is bound to pcto
any act which uould ertend slaucry into tile
new territories. Cass being elected, the
question remains undecided during his term;
if Taylor is elected the decision will come,
and with his views and influence would not
Likely be for freedom, and once decided that
decision would prove final. Mr.. Palmer
thoroughly canyassed the whole ground as
between the candidates, and his contrast be-
tween them was wilhering to the mere avail
ability hunting Zscharites. We will not at
tempt 10 give an outline Of his remarks, and
will only add that his whole address, exhib-
lied ready sympathy With popular feeling,
an elevated sense Of political right, and was
throughout eloquent and interesting in the
highest degree.

| litcal pariies--bavihg declared. since his
nomination by the Philadelphia Convention.
that be was "not party candidaie-and, il
elected, would not be tho President Of a
party" by what name shall his suproriefs be
Lencefotth called! What name more appro-
pirate than The Zacharitc party?
We have The authority of tile 'od line
wings, such as GIbDIScs, RooT, RUSSELL,
CowEN, CAMPBELL, SC, for saying that the
wing party cannot give them their support
And they no doubt say truly, for Con. TAy-
IoR has the franknoss to asseyerate that il is
moi tothe principles of the Wing party thai
he will pledge himself Who and what are
they, then, who support Gen. TAYLOR, ex-
cepi they be Zlcharites?
Gen. TAYLOR is not the Representative Of
any political principles. His friends will
give him their yoics--why2 Because he is
sold Zack!" This is their "why and where
folc"--the alpha and the omega Of the reas-
ons they assign for the faith that is in them.
Ilis the NAN they arc aftcr--not principles
because the General refuses 10 pledge
himself 10 any. Then wo say that the sup
portcrs Of Old Zach are Zlchlrites--and by
that name let them be hereafter Known
And lot them hereafter be understood nour
political history as the party which tried the
expcrihieni Of eleGiing President on the
One Man Po,cer, or Aniipr;nciplc issue.
While the late wing party are thus split up
into Zacharites and Van Burenites--and sew
eral other "les," all having tendency TO
array one portion oflhe Union ngains; anoth-
er, the great, and ancient, and NATIONAL
Democratic Party, under whose glorious star
the Republic had lis birth and its unexam-
pied progress and prosperity, is still united,
and will again save our country from the
machinalons of these factions.

HULL's SURRENDER. - The Cincinnati
Gazette has several times lately iniiml-
ted that Gen. CAss was implicated in the
shame of HUNS surrender. Here is proof
TO the contrary from one of the Gasetts
mans own kind. HULL, HIMSELF in his
official dispatch, dated, "Forl George, Upper
Canada, August 26th, 1872" says:
"Before ! close this despatch, 1t is a duty
| owe my associates in command, Co.'s
Macarthur, Findley and Cass, and Lieut.
Col. Miller, TO express my obligations to
them for the prompt and judicious manner
lin which they lIave performed their respec-
tive duties. If aught has taken place du.
ring the campaign which is honorable to the
army, these officers are entitled to large
share of'it. If the last act (the surrender,)
should be disapproved, no part Of tbe cen
surs belongs 10 them"
The above, let it be remembered, is the
testimony Of Gen. Hull, whose surrender OF
Detroit in 1912, was justified by many Of the
whig editors at the time it occurred. At Ia
ter porod-in the sp.ing Of lS4l--the wings
of Congress attempted 10 pass bill giving
the heirs Of this same Hull large amount
of back pay which the government had re-
pcatedly refused TO allow. These Hull men
in le4I are The Taylor leaders in lS4S.
