thing else than an abolition Corwin anti war
"hIg. in fact, he has proven himself such,
for after his nomination he made speech in
opposition to the war, condemned our covorn

short. made such speech in sentiment as
Corwln's, which has been pronounced tory by
every patriot and truly American. We will
see whether those who profess to be in favor

the defeat of men uttering tory sentiments -

condemnation they merit. Toryism in every

look at the wing nominee and the principles

have sufficient cause to renew your actions g.

RAPID PROGRESS or MORALS.

On last Monday evening, the 24th instant
the citi zens of this place, in large numbers,
assembled in the M. E. Church, for the por
pose of organizing an ssociation to advance
the cause of morality, and to preserve the
Sabbath nviolate. Although it was admitted
on all hands, that the citizens of this place
are very moral, and church going people, yet
it was thought hest to organize society to
still further the cause of morality and reli-
gion. With an association of this kind, the
churches aud sowing society, no place can
beat ours for morality.

Gen. Cass opposed the passage of the reso-
lutions in a few remarks
Mr.. Mangum spoke in support of the reso-

oppose such inquiries. The gentlemen on the
other side seemed to be very tender-footed in
disclosing the Presidents design.
MIR. Cass disclaimed being slender. footed"
and asserted that the President intended to
conquer Mexico-not with view of keeping
oil; but to conquer and hold it, until peace
should be effected
Mr. Mangum agreed to modify his resolu-
ton, SO as to make is discretionary with the
President whether to report or not, the infor-

adopted.
The Ten Regiment bill was then taken up,
