The difference between the journals of the federal and
the democratic party at the present day is this that the
former rest satisfied with making mere abstract argument,
ed by existing facts; while the latter look to things
they are and Judge of them from their practical results

to the tariffs of 1912 and 1916 We ask readers
look at the following table:

structures upon my conduct public man. which find
their way into the newspapers of the country, have been
general altogether Indifferent, and III all hereto
fore have been absolutely silent. Nor should vary
from my ordinary upon the present occasion, but
that il is feared by others, whose counses greatly
spect that silence my part might be construed into
acit acquiesceDce certain misrepresentation, which,
if etfecual, might by possibility do more less injury
to cause to which my life has been devoted. find
myself charged with having declared during the last
hours of the session of the United States Senate that
Cass and Butler in consequence of the conduct OF
OF their northern friends Congress upon the Oregon
question, would lose the whole vote of the south
States in the approaching presidential election Now
this is not only wholly without foundation, but is
diculousy false What did say, in substance, this
1t will be borne mind that the Oregon bill had been
turned to from the House with our amendments TO it
stricken out There to believe, had com
mttee of conference been allowed accordance with
promise of all the matters in controversy could yet have
been effected Various facts stated by myself and
others, showing, as think concusvey, that compro
mise might still have been attained through committee
Of conference. The senator from Illinois, (Mr Doug
as) who had principal charge of the Oregon bill, had
consented a committee of conference, and had even
urged upon the Senate with his o&n man
and ability. Other distinguished democratic sena
from the North than willing to try

such circumstances the senator from Missouri (Mr.
}enton) insisted upon his motion recede from our
amendments; which, taking precedence Of the motion to

rFA good story is told, says the Detfoit
Free Press, of Senator Allen, at Philadel-
phia. When on board the boat, and about
to leave the city, Gen: Cass being fatigued,
requested Senator Allen to return his ac-
acknowledgements to the crowd which had &C
companied him to the wharf Mr.. Allen
ascended the deck and commenced The
captain of a steam boat, which had come in
loaded with whig delegates, undertook to
drowu his voice by letting off the steam.
Aliens voice raised and so did the noise of
the steam pipe, and thus they had it, whistle
steamboat, scream Allen: but the stentorian
lungs of the latter prevailed, and far above
the noise of the engine was heard the trum-
pet toned voice Of the tall Senator.
The captain gave it up-swearing that it
was the first time his boat was ever beat.
Talk no more about the bull that was but
ted off the bridge by locomotive, when a
western democrat can talk down steam
boat!

Gen. Cass-ReIief 10 Ireland.

The New York @Truth Teller" the organ
of the patriotic Irishman Of this country, is,
one of the strongest supporters of Cass and
Butler in the Union. We make the fol-
lowing extract from a late numEe-. Gen.
Cass is the warm advocate of the oppressed
people of all nations. Full of love and pat
riotism, and at all times ready and wiling
ing to plead for the rights of those who are
borne down by tyrants and deprived of the
means of gaining substance for themsel-
yes, and wifes, and helpless children who
are dependent upon them for bread. Who
will refuse to vote for such man as LEW
is CASS? The Truth Teller says
"When the starving Irish claimed by
the appeal of suffering existence and miser-
able death, the sympathy of the world, no
voice was heard beWailing their Affections
with SO touching an eloquence advc-
eating measures for their relief with such
effective energy as LEWIS CAsS.
When the question about the embassy
to Rome was agitatcd, and the good and
great Plus TX was assailed with all the ma
lignity of ignorance, and impelled by hate
and fear, LEWIS CASS stood folwaid,
urging the measure, and lashed the hounds
into submissive silence"

The aATIned NeutraI's'' SoIiIo0ay.

The man OF the Star-chamber seems TO
in great quandary yet as to the course he
ought to pursue-whether to abandon alto
gether the usual cant about the importance
Of 'whig' principles, and go it for old Fac
and 'Whity,' without why or wherefore
or to bolt the nomination outright, abandon
altogether his former political faith, quit
ranting about the great blessings to be Sc.
cured through the triumph of the whigs,and
throw himself into the kind embrace of the
"one idea" party which it has been his
wont to detest ond denounce, seem to be
extremely perplexing questions to him
which he has not as yet been able to solve.
