Comfnrt for Cas-.
y
Mr.. B. NJ. Conkey, Cincinnati.

There is great and increasing significance in
the question which is now daily asked Of a por.
lion Of the Locoiocos,' "Why will you distract
the operation Of the party and destroy its cohe.
sion, by keeping Cass before the people when
his election is hopeless"
The following items place in strong lghl
the increasing detection in the Cass ranks, and
show a spirit at work which is destined not mere.
y TO defeat the candidate, but 10 purge with
fire the party TO which he belongs:

Nothing could give me greater personal gra-

The "Od Guard" of Lancaster have long
been known to me, by their wellearned repun-
ZION for intelligent public virtue, aud unconquer-

ever may have been the character or causes oil
tbs many trying emergencies through which our
Republic has heretofore passed, none has ever
more earnestly appealed 10 the seIfsacrifcing
devotion of al true Wings than tie present.
Should the Locoroco candidate for The Presi.

of policy new TO our system, unknown 10 the

We arc in truth beginning 10 be very seriously
alarmed for the fate of the Locofoco leaders
hereabouts. We do in our hearts believe that
the Devil will get them. He must already be
wagng his tail at the prospect 1t was true.
ly awful TO hear how they cursed and blasphe-
med, on hearing on last Saturday of the nomi.
nation of Martin Van Buren for the Presidency
by the Locoloco convention al Utica. We ne
yer had any adequate knowledge before of the
terribleextenl to which lasphemy can be carried,
though we have certainly heard some specimens
of very tall cursng in our day.
Prolone swearing is evidently very much in
vouge with the locolocos in this time. They
have got candidate for Governor who has been
indicted and fined for cursng in public speech;
their central committee, though its chairman,
lately bade one hOlftheir own party "go to hell;''
and now all the leaders are cursing the two Van
Burens and the Barnburners in general after a
fashion that's truly terrible. These things are
enough 10 make good mans harstand on end
We hope that sermons on proane swearing will
be preached in all the churches of this city next
Sunday, and that all the prominent Locofocos
will be induced 10 attend.- Louisville Jour.

HIGHHANDED UsURPATIoN FOREsHADowED.-
"OBsERvER," the weI-informed Democratic cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writes
as follows:
Washington, July 22, l848.
"There is some danger of the Civil and Dip
tomato Bill passing the Senate in the shape it
came from the llouse--to wit, with the appro-
praton for the Savannah river. In this case
the PRESIDENT DW Ueto The bill, and as the same
bill cannot be brought up second time in the
same session, call an extra session of Congress-. {"
Startling as this information is, the attentive
reader of the speech of Mr.. Barrow in the pre-.
ceding columns, will find a remarkable anticipa-
ton Of the contingency, predicted by the Ledg.
er's correspondent, of Veto by the President
Of the annual bill for the support of the Govern.

The DEAD SEA FIXPEDlTION.-From letlefS
which have been shown TO the edtorof the Bos'
ton Transcript, il appears that the Dead Sea Ex-
ploring party have successfully and satisfactor.
ly completed their task, and returned TO Jerusa.

They have sounded the sea in all its parts, TO
the depth of 600 lahoms, and found the bottom
crystaized salt. The pestenta effects attri.
buled TO the waters turn out 10 be fabulous
Ducks were seen skimming over the surface, and
partidges abounded along the shore. The par.
ty were upon the sea in their boats, or encamp.
ed on its borders for some two months, and their
researches and estimates have been of the most
thorough and interesting character. All were
in excellent health and spirits, no sickness nor
accident having occurred. BY the Arabs they
have been received, and uniformly treated with
the utmost kindness and attention. The Syri.
ans consider "the men OF the Jordan" as they
call them, the greatest heroes of the day. Lieu
tenants Lynch and Dale will visit, under the
most favorable circumstances all the places made
memorable in Scripture history, and we expect
from them highly Interesting account of their
explorations of the Dead Sea, and their adven-
lures in the Holy Land.-Putsburgh Gazette.
