might weaken the necessary force at the
government; while the other strong in It's
convictions of the intelligence and virtue
of the people, believes that original power
is>safer thandelegated and that the solution
of the great problem Of good government
consists in governing with the least force,
and leaving individual action as free firm
restraint as is compatible with the pres
ervation of the social system, thereby So
securing to each all the freedom which is
essential to the well being of the whole
AS party, we ought not to mistake the
signs Of the times; but should bear in mind,
that this is an age of progress=--ef cdsonce-
naent in all the elements of intellectual
power, and in the opinions of The world.
The general government should assume no
powers. It should exercise none which
have not been clearly granted by the par
ties>of the federal compact. We ought to
construe the federal constitution strictly,
according to the received and sound prin-
cipes Of the Jefersonian school. But rash
experiments should be deprecated, if the
government is stationary in its principles
Of action, and refuses to accommodate its
measures within its constitutional sphere
cautiously indeed, but wisely and cheerful
ly-to the advancing sentiments and ne
cessities of the age, it will fnd Its moral
force impaired, and the public will deter
mine to do what the public authority should
readily do; when the indications Of popular
sentiment are clear and clearly expressed.
With great respect, gentlemen, have
the honor to be your obedient servant.

BY reference to page 472, of The same

found.
'sFElDAy, February IL, 1914. !,
s'Fhe Senate resumed the consideration
Of the message of the United States, receiv-
ed the 3lst of January, nominating LEWIS
CAss and others to offices, and
s'Resotred, That they do advise and con.
sent to the appointment of LEWIS CAss, ~
greeably to the nomination." &c.
Thus have we shown, that Thomas JEFF.
lerson, the acknowledged head Of the A.
merican Democraey-the great exponent
of its principles and practser ocits preceptss
the man that federalism charges, was the
first President TO act upon the principle Of
rewarding his political friends, and punish.
ing his political enemies, was the President
that brought Lewis Cass into notice, ,by con-
lering upon him the responsible part of II.
nited Stales Marshal, for the district of
Ohio.
Upon the accession OF Mr.. Madison, the.
pupil, friend and confident of Mr.. Jefer-
son nominated Lewis Cass as Colonel in.
the regular army, md in less than month
thereafter, promoted him, during the recess
Of Congress, to be Brigddaer General and
in less than year thereafter, conferred
upon him the Office of Governor of the !.
then Territory of Michigan. At that tmef
Michigan was the most exposed portion Of
our frontier-exposed TO the incursons o,
the enemy, and filled with savage bands
stimulated 10 violence against the Ameri-
cans, by British promises OF protection and
British gold. These facts made the Office
the most responsible one within the appoint.

Interesting Correspondence.
GEN. CASS' LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
LETTER TO GEN. CASS.
BALrIMoRE. NAV 2a.

80 BALTIMORE, May %. =,
DEAR Sir: You are doubtless apprised
of the fact that National Convention Of
Republican Delegates from the various
portions Of the Union assembled in this city
on the 22d instant. for the purpose of se.'
lecting candidates for the highest executive
Offices ia the United States. We are graf
flied in having it in our power to inform
you that the convention with great unanim-
ity, agreed to present your name to the
country for the Office of President, and re-
quested US to communicate to y you this nom
ination, and solicit your acceptance. In
performing this duty, which we do with
great pleasure, it is proper, that the resolu-
tions adopted by the convention and con-
tanning the principles upon which the gov
ernment ought to be administered, should
be laid before you. These constitute a
platform broad enough for all true demo-
Gratis to stand upon, and narrow enough to
exclude all those who may be opposed TO
the great principles Of the democratic par
ty. That these principles will meet with
your cordial assent and support, and be
illustrated in your administration called
to this high Office by your country, we do
not for moment doubt; but feel assured,
that whilst you exercise forbearance, with
firmness, you will not fail to exert your
faculties to maintain the principles and
just compromises oflhe consti,ution,s in o
spirit OF moderation and brotherIy love, so
vitality essential to the perpetuity of the
Union and the prosperity and happiness OF
our common country. We offer you our
sincere congratulations upon this distinc:
guished mark of the public confidence,
and are, with sentiments of high esteem
and regard, dear sir,
Your friends and obedlent servants,
A STEVENSON,
| President National Convention.

Whiggery forced to back out from its
SANDERS about Gen. CaSS.

As we predicted the GAINESVILLE Courier
gives up beat in the attempt to gain that
prize of $50, proposed by the Plain Dealer,
TO the whig editor that would tell the big.
gest falsehood about Gen. Cass.
Its tales about the federalism Of Gen.
Cass, were whoppers It is true, but then
has given up in despair, and now begins 10
make corrections. See the following from
his paper of Saturday.
CANDIDATE CAss-CoRREcTIoN.-We
clipped few days since, a paragraph from
the Tuscarawas Advocate which stated
that General Cass was a candidate.iu 1903
Tor the legislature, but was defeated by
Judge Clark, who was the opposing candi.
date. The Advocate was in error: Gen.
Cass was at that time Marshall of the State
and ineligible to Office. Placing confidence
in what we supposed to be known az fact
to the editor Of the Advocate, and being
much hurried at the time, we. allowed the
paragraph to go in. AS we desire to be
correct in all our statements, wa take this
method Of setting the matter right"
Some days since, while replying to the
charge, that General Cass was federalism
Courier, we spoke Of old democrats, still
living, who knew General Cass in the days
Of his alIedged federalism, and who knew
the charge to be untrue, and among others,
we named DR.. Robert Mitchell, former
Representative in Congress, from the dis
trict, then composed OF Licking and Musk
ingun counties. In reply to this, the Cour-
ier then struggling for the prize 10 be a.
warded to the falsi6er, charged that DR..
Mitchel we'll knew, that General Cas-,
when he came to GAINESVILLE, was recent
conuert from federalism This brought
out the Poctor, and in communication in
the same paper, from which we clip the a.
boye, he thus repels the falsehood.
For the GAINESVILLE Courier.

under my eye, the following language is

Cass. "and we may also remark since our
