Miller (Whig) and Thompson (Lqco) were
Candidates for Congress in one of the Iowa

were exceedingly anxious about the settlement

revolution Of feeling among the Wings Of
Ohio. Mulitudcs Of those who were hesitot-

Reasons Of Gen. Cass for abandoning
the Wilmnt Prnrisn.

AP0N
The country has long wondered why Gener.
al Cass, in his celebrated Nicholson letter.
should have declared that he vas strongly i'm.
pressed with the opinion, thata change was 40
ing on in his own mind upon The subject Of the
Wilmot p%roviso; and why, after being de
strenuous advocate Or Its Incorporation III the
two million appropriation bill, he should after
wards have opposed it's insertion IN The three
million bill, This mental vascilation is ex-
planned BY d letter written at The time, 10 D.
friend Of his in Michigan, who having since
become q Van Buren, mai has published ii III
a Michigan paper, the " Ann flarbor True

am pressed to death with business, or /
would write you q longer letter. However
the newspapers give You a full account Of our
strange proceedings. We have not done much
good; but they say il is darkest Just before
daylight, and | am inclined to think that our
darkest hour has passed. 1t seems to me that
good is coming out Of mischief There is a
more determined spirit to support the Admin
istrttio than | have seen heretofore. 1t is
now distinctly understood, and it will be the
Democratic sentiment through the country,
tina, everything must give way to a vigorous
prosecution Of the war, and that no measures
must be proposed that will embarrass the Ad-
ministration.
The Wilmot pToviso will notpnss the Senate.
II would be death to the war-death to AN
hopes Of getting All acre OF territory death to
the Administration, and death to the Democra-
tic party. 1t was net 50 intended. 1t no
do1bt originated with proper feelings; but
things have now come TO such a pass, that its
adoption will produce these effects. IT is dis
t)ioclly avowed by the Southern members OF
Congress that they would not vote for any mea-
sures for the prosecution of the war, nor,
would they ratify any treaty if this proyiso be-
came q law. II will probably 60 back from

preparation will pass withoutany proviso.

proceedings of the Court Martial on the 9Th

course of Col. Benton. it will be seen, was
