GESrLEMEs A friend at Washington has just sent me
pamphlet of sixteen pages printed and circulated under
authority of the National and Jackson Democratic Assoca
ton Committee" Washington, entitled ga Refutaton Of
Andrew Stewards fabicatons against Lewis Cass." This
pamphlet it seems, copied from the 'Unon" where 1t
originally appeared as editorial
feel myself constrained to notice this extraordinary PAM
phlet SO much in self yndcation defence of Gen.
TAYLOR against the most gross deliberate, and wfu false
hood invented uttered against any any age of
the world and which when exposed fail react with
overwhelming effect upon the authors and their Some
idea of the character OF this pamphlet may be formed from the
fact that its first page contains less than fourteen deliberate
sehoods and Misrepresentation of ecods-some of which
shall directly proceed to point out and expose But first
few words in regard to General CAsss pay Cover
nor of Michigan This have said amounted TO S64 s65.46
but Mr. Richie and his committee say 'we make the whole
amount $685. 800 46 !" the difference being only $685. not
worth disputing about Of this they say only about
ST., $50 for compensation which went into General
Casss private pocket the balance being for expenses actually
incurred"
Now to show how utterly unfounded this suggestion is it
only necessary to refer the sixteenth page of Mr. Folks
message Of the llh Of August last where Mr. John NJ Nc
Gala himself shows that the whole actually expended
by Gov. Cass for office rent, fuel quarters cf hire house
rent, uoOd rent o council chamber, dttOnS for Indians,
c amounted during the first eight years Of his official term,
to only 49, 3O being less than S27l year. which Gen.
Cass regularly charged the Government and which was as
regularly repaid to him.
In 1921, eight years after Gov. Casss appointment he
made general charge against the Government Of 500
year for fuel, Office rent, &c. and $3.50 for raons-makng
