cago on the 4th July-and of Van Buren, meeting of
democrats opposed to Gen. Cass at Pittsburg, the
7h But the Pittsburg Morning Post describes this last
affair as can abortve movement of old federalism and
anti-masonry" The Post throws another damper upon
the democratic petensons of the meeting 1t publishes
the following cards of decension from respectable and
influential democrats whom the Van Buren, barnburners
had attempted to dragon into their ranks
