Or the address, which ii the outset ! would re-

Democrats. The former should mark il as an
illustration Of that artful sophistry, w%ith.which
they will have to contend during the coming
contest, and which unfortunately forour coon-
try, was 50 successfully practiced by the Lo-
coFoco party IN the Presidential canvass Of IN,
1t is the duty, therefore, Of every whig, TO be
ready to expose a system Of false reasoning
which under the mask Of Democracy, has for
a long series Of years, deluded many intelli-
gent but unguaFded minds, But q Che pema-
cratsparticularly Recommend it, as q sample q
that political hypocrisy and deception, which
has 50 often won its way by the charm Of an
honored name--tho baheful influences oil
which are now telling sadly upon our conn-
trys prosperity.
Tho commencement Of the speech was an
elaborate recommendation Of Gen. Cass as a
man suitable for the Presidency, on account Of
his superior statesaansbP-his exalted pat
riotism and private excelIencies, as well as his
personal popularity. Az proof Of his states
m~anship, The fact Of his having for many years
held Office under government, was Produced
at the same time, the phraseology OF lhe speak
or was so constructed as to lead some to think
that he had said these offices were the giit @

was not only inbod taste but was also, exceed
ingly uncomplimentary to the intelligence o.
the audience. He seemed e forget that nus
hearers were reading, rejecting men; ana ina

ond-forced at last, like every body else that
does not bury his money in a hole ia the

some Underground over the possible penilen-

The following, which constitutes the tenth

SUMMARY.

BY our Geographic reports, it will be seen that
little business of an important public nature was
transacted in the Senate yesterday. The bill for
establishing branch mint in New York, was
made the special order of the day for the second
Monday in May. In the House nothing tran
spired worthy of notice. In the New York
legislature, several bills were finally acted upon;
for which, election returns, &c., see reports be-
low.
