Srs: In M last was noticed Inc charge OF
the Hon. Re,erdy Johnson, in the Senate of the
United Stats against the "honesty" OF GER
tain person in publishing a life Of General
Cass, and ofh!s charg ng the said arbitration 10
the Democratic party, for sinister purposes.
The Democratic party does nothing under cover
for any des,.n. All their conduc. is open 10 the
world; and We should Judge, from the charges OF
Whiggery that the Wings know more Of the
doinss OF the Democratic party than the Demo
Gratis do theusafves But since my former re
marks, th sime gentleman has delivered pre-,
" good speech III opposition t The dissolution
doc, incs rev assumed By tho Aboli;ionists, and,
par excellence, " ..r. Van Buren, and his
JOHNNY Mr.. johnson was truly eloquent in
parts Of hi, speech and ciuag - The Union Of
the S,ate>' as the shee. achpr Of hope, for The
fuinrc glocy Of he country, in her onward
l.alch To The summit Of greatness Upon the
whole, Nj Johnson did himself and his subject
fuI Justice; and If he could but dlyest himself Of
lis Whig,cry, would be quite useful man TO
his native State. 50 long as the blight and mil
dep predcminates, his usefulness, in a measure
is eh,lrely lost TO his country.
The question Of Save and "Free Soil Terri
tory being now before select committee OF
the Senate, of which Mr.. Clayton Of Delaware
IS Chairman. you may expect just and fair
comnromisc ire recommended that will unite
III the friends TO the Union in both Houses of
Congress- and that vcxcd question will be f..
rally disposed OF before The rising If tie pre-
sent Congress. This IS an end truly desirable,
out not more desirable than that the slave cues
lion should forever thereafter be kept from the
floor OF Congress. The bill must con ain a
e., aH. Of
come Monsieur I'onscn over Congress, in some
form or other. II IS, therefore, safest 10 settle
the wnoie question a, the present session. Never
trust 10 tho future for that, which can be bette
done at the presen, time.
