Thousands who agree avith has Free Terri

From the Kinderhook IN. W Sentinel.
AS presidential candidate, we should
eheerfully and cordially have given to Mr..

seriously imagines for an instant that the
Utica ticket can get single electoral vote
in the Union. All it is designed to do is to
defeat Gen. Cass, and to elect whig Con
gress. What, then, will become Of the In
dependent Treasury? what will become Of
our revenue and financial policy, and of all
those democratic measures that the party has
been laboring for quarter of century to
establish? The people have been taught tc
believe that these matters involved deep anc
vital questions of principle. They have learn
ed it from Mr.. Van Buren, himself-he has
been the honored instrument of consummat
ing many of them-and now will he undo
the work of his own hands, by lending hi.
influence to overthrow them? Have thes.
professions been mere sham and pre-.

establishment of which his whole pnblic Life
has been devoted secondary in Importance
to private interests and the qualification Of

JOHN BULL OPPOSED TO Casa cor
respondent of the New York Herald, writes
from Paris as follows: -..
"You will see an article in the John
Bull, of London, which opposes the elec-
ton of Gen Cass to the Presidency, in the
United States, because, they say, "he is
anti-English in his feelings, and English
interests would be in danger OF being COM
promilted." The same press says, that
there is no doubt that he will be defeated"
suppose England recollects the manner
in which he defeated the attempt of Eng
land to form European alliance against
the United States upon the ocean, by per.
suading France from entering into it.
Thanks to Providence, France is now re-
publican, and a sympathy unites the re-
publicans of France and of the United
States; and few men in either country
have sufficient popularity to be praised with
safety by the English press. think the
ofthe English Press, and his
with the English, through his
wife, who is English, have done Lamarlins
great injury, influencing him against Nas
poleon, and made the French afraid Of him.
Perhaps they have corrupted him but this
| will not believe at present.
"OBsERvE
There are great many JOHN BULLS in
his world that would move heaven and
earth to defeat Gen. Cass, but the pswer

The Compromise.

Some time ago, while the subject Of es

fort was made to extend the Missouri Com

ofslavery in those territories south of that
line, (36 degrees 80 minutesl and prohibit
ing its existence in all territory north of
that line. The proposition met with a
determined opposition, and the matter was
referred to select committee of eight to
report a bill, establishing territorial govern.
ments in those territories. The committee
was equally divided between the free and
slave States, and four of the committee
were wings, three democrats, and one inde

Gen. CasS-HuIrS Surrender.

As there are some tory wings who affect
to laugh at Gen. Cass, for breaking his
sword, rather than give it to the British at
the disgtaceful surrender of General Hull,
we publish the following extract from a
correspondent of the Washington Union,
to show the patriotic light in which the act
was viewed at the time it occurred:
''S1R: cannot help expressing to you
the Joy | feel at the nomination Of Mr.. SEN
ator Cass for President Of the United States.
Ny admiration Of this man is not of recent
date. Some thirty-six years have now
gone by since the popular voice gave three
cheers for Col. Cass. 1t was on Sunday,
| think, in Augustine weather quite warm,
a crowd was gathered around the post Of
fee in Philadelphia, then in Third street,
opposite the general stage Office. A report
had reached US Of some disaster to our ~
nv in the northwest. All were anxiously
waiting for the opening of the mail to hear
the news. At the usual hour the windows
Of the post Office were thrown open, and
the disastrous news was soon confirmed in
two words: "Hull's surrendered" "Ths
ID he has!' says one. '"Tis not possi-
ble," says another. What! the whole ar
my given up?' says a third. And then
the imprecations, deep and loud, against the
commander.
When the particulars began to be known,
a little relief to the general distress was
felt upon learning that the young officers
were opposed to the surrender. The re-
ports were, that one officer said that he
would stand by his cannon and colors to
the last and actually threatened TO fire up
on the enemy, against the orders Of his
commander; that Col. Cass was out with a
detachment, aud was not present at the ca
pitulation. One account said that he ac-
tually refuse to deliver up bis sword, and
that he actually broke it. Here was lit
tie sunshine breaking through the general
gloom; and to relieve themselves from the
deep feeling of dependency, it was propos-
ed to give 'three cheers for the young Of
fcers who opposed the capitulation;;" "three
cheers for Col. Cass;" and with these sounds
vibrating on their ears, the crowd separat
cd TO their several homes. These sounds
still vibrate in remembrance on my ears,
and from that time forth have viewed Col.
Cass as a bold defender of his country; and
look upon him now as belonging to his
country-the whole country"

O. 1t is said 1ha Gen. Taylor felt SO
little honored by the nomination of the
"Philadelphia slaughter house, tha. he
would not pay a dime for the official letter
notifying him Of his nomination, but refus-
ed to take it from the Office, and it was &C.
cordingly marked "refused'' and returned

THE GENTLEMAN.

BisHop DoANE, i'll recent address de-
ivered at Burlington College, uttered the
following admirable sentiments
you cannot make "A gold ring out of
brass You cannot change Cape May
crystal to diamond. You cannot make IA
gentleman, till you have first made a man
70 be Il gentleman, it will not be sufficient
to have had grandfather.
"To be a gentleman, does not depend
upon the tailor or the toilet. Blood will de-
generate. Good clothes are not good hab-
It's. The Prince Lee Boo concluded that
the hog, in England, was the only gentle
man, as being the only thing that did not
labor.
&" A gentleman is Just a GENTLE-man no
more, no less; a diamond polished, that was
first diamond in the rough. A gentleman
is gentle. A gentleman is modest. gentle
man is courteous. A gentleman is generous
A gentleman is slow TO take offence, as be-
ing one that never gives it. A gentleman
is slow TO surmise evil, as being one that
never thinks it. A gentleman goes armed
only in consciousness of right. gentle
man subjects his appetites. gentleman
relincs his tastes. A gentleman subdues hi'
feelings. gentleman controls his speech
A gentleman deems every one better thar
himself. Sir Phillip Sidney was never 81
much "A gentleman-mirror though he was
of Englands knlghthood-as when upoI

blood, he waived the draught of cold spring
water, that was brought to quench his NOR
