HILLS PROCLAMATION.

The Boston Morning Post, Of Tuesday last,
contains "a first rate notice" of the life of Cen
eraI Cass, which the editor of the Post desires
should be carefully read by every voter in the
United States In this noticeable document,
the writer undertakes the seemingly hopeless
task of proving that Snug the Joiner" is a
great man, and entirely worthy of the conf
dence of the people. As might be expected,
our biographer succeeds to his complete salts
faction, whatever may be the effect upon his
readers Among other notable assertions, he
declares that, ION entering Canada, General
Hull distributed proclamation among the in
habitants. which, for the eloquence and high
spirit that it contained, cannot be surpassed l.;
but it was sadly in contrast with the fulilment
of its professions. Unfortunately for the coun-
try, the author of the proclamation, Colonel
Cass, was not the commander Of the army"
In regard to this proclamation, which the
Post so highly commends, and unqnali6edly
asserts was the production of General Cas-, the
following extracts from the recently published
life of General Hull, will be found to possess
some interest -
There are some curious circumstances
with this proclamation. 1t has been praised
as spirited and strong paper, and condemn
ed as pompous and improper. After Gen.
Hulfs death, the authorship of il was claimed
for Gen. Cas-, then Colonel of Militia. Up
to that time, that is, for fifteen years, no one
even suggested that it was written by any 9TH
er than General Hull himself General Hull's
family, in all that they had heard and read a.
bout the proclamation, had never before re-
ceived the suggestion that General Cass was
the author. As the matter now stands, when
ever the proclamation is condemned, General
Hull IS treated as the author; when it is prais-
ed, If is said to have been written by General
Cas- This proclamation was approved by the
President, In alstter to General Hull, from
