GEN. CAss ANN THE New YoRK Democracy.
We copy the following from the New York
Eucning Post, of the 18th inst, one of the
ablest and most influential Democratic papers
in New York, or indeed in The whole Union.
We do not wonder if there are any persons re-
ally SO foolish as TO suppose for one moment
that Mr.. Cass, can by any possibility carry the
Empire State
We can assure the Washington Union that,
SO far as concerns the politics of this State, its
attention to us is but labor lost, To obtain
the vote of this State for Mr.. Cass is as impos-
sible as it would be to obtain it for Big Thur
der, himself, if his friends were 10 nominate
him for a candidate. Those who know any
thing of Mr.. Cass's late progress through the
State, know-.hat never was so discouraglng a
reception given 10 any candidate OF any party
as that which be received among US The pub
lie aversion was apparent enough IN this city
but the farther he penetrated into the Interior
the more apparent it became. 1t is said tina
Cass admitted to one of his friends that if he
had known in what manner his nomination
would be received in the State of New York ht
would not have consented to stand candidate
We do not vouchfor the truth of the anecdote
! but if Mr. Cass did notssee- at every step 10
kens of public dislike and disgust, he ha
less sagacity than we ever supposed him f
| possess.

GEN. CAss.-We agree with the Washing
ton correspondent of the North American, that
the reception Of Gen. Cass at Cleveland and
are worthy of special notice. They ought to
be scrutinized carefully by every voter in the
Free States particularly, though the evasions Of
the Loeofoco candidate, should condemn him
in every other quarter of the Union. Judge
Wood was appointed to tender him the hospi-
talities of the city, andin the speech appropri-
ate to the occasion, he invited the attention OF
General Cass to two particular points; alleg-
ing that it had been represented By the Wings
that he was opposed to the Improvements of
Rivers and Harbors, and in the event of his
election to the Presidency, that his admins
tration would favor the extension Of slavery.
JudgC Wood stated that the Democracy" had
denied these statements, upon their confidence
in his political integrity, and that he had now
an opportunity of affirming the position which
they had taken on his behalf
Gen. Cass, in reply, observed that the
noise and confusion of the assembly prevent
ed him from replying satisfactorily 10 the top
les to which his notice had been particularly
directed. He found opportunity, however, to
! give an elaborate review of his early connec-
ton with the West, in the hope of producing
popular effect, and of arousing the sympathies
of a people, prcverbially attached to those
identified with their explorations and history.
But the effort failed, and the subterfuge was
received with the marked disapprobation which
it deserved.
s'If nything was wanting, says Independent
TO determine the prospects of Gen. Cass, and
to exhibit him in his true attitude to the coun-
try, this meeting at Cleveland has supplied it.,
and has consigned him to the doom to which
his lack of principle and of candor were fairly
entitled.
1.-The Union has constantly prated, since the
adjournment of the Baltimore Convention,
about the platform of principles erected by its
party, and yet when the candidate for the Pre-
sidency is called upon TO express his senti-
ments on the two questions, which of all 9th
ers divide the country most positively, he
pleads snoise and confusion" as his apology,
just as he did circumstances for declining to
attend the Chicago Convention. These are
| the principles of Locofocoism, and they are
eminently Characteristic of the life of General
Cass. When Intercepted in the face of men
claiming to be Democrats" and his support
ers for the Presidency, upon issues affecting
their interests and their political integrity, he
shrinks from the encounter, and adopts an ex-
pedient grossly insulting to the intelligence oil
the assemblage, and unworthy of his own fame
as man Ct truth and honesty. But We are
willing to meet Gen. Cass upon these terms
1.-THE country can be gulled again by Kane let
tiers and such discreditable truths, it is not en-
titled to the exertions of the patriotic on the
! sympathy of the good"

The CAss FLAG.-All masters of vessels and
seamen upon the lakes and western rivers pro-
pose to carry the insulting letter of Candidate
CAss to the. Chicago Convention at half-mast

memento of Locofoco regard for their safety.

THE NATIONAL RoAD.-We learn from the
Cumberland CiUiIian, that the proprietors of
the express lines, running from that place to
Pittsburg and Wheeling, have felt themselves
compelled, in consequence of the condition of
the National Road, to withdraw their wagons
and place them on the Somerset and Pennsyl-
vania turnpikes. Also, that the stage compa-
MES are making arrangements to start regular
lines upon the route through Somerset, Mount
Pleasant, Robb's Town and Williamsport, at
which latter place they reach the slack water
navigation Of the Monongahela, and thence to
Washington and Wheeling. The CiUiliam
says: =
eve deeply regret that thescompanies have
found it to their interest TO change their route
to the Ohio river. The peopleof Allegheny,
residing along the National Road, will suffer
severely in the loss of market they have SO
long enjoyed, for the sale of their surplus agri-
cultural products. The reduction OF the tolle
also, will render it less practicable to keep the
road in repair"

The CHARACTER OF THE MAN.-We find the
anecdote in several of our exchanges
papers. 1t is AUTHENTIC:
Gen. Taylor, in 1814-l5 was ascaptain, or
perhaps major by brevet and. stationed with
his company at Green Bay-at that time far
beyond the limits of civilization. The pay
master received from the Government the ne
cessary funds to pay offthe U. s. troops, which
funds, save small amount, he exchanged for
the bills of J. H. Piatt s Co., bankers in the
city of Cincinnati--ihis was business trans
action on private account. The paynaster
proceeded to Detroit and there paid off the sol
diers in this Locofoco individual responsibility
paper--he then proceeded to Mackinaw, and
there paid the soldiers in like manner, lastly,
he reached Green Bay. Here again the pay
master, with proper official solemnity counted
out to Capt Taylor the bills of ]. H. Piatt &
Co., bankers for the soldiers. sold lack

Gen. Arista took the oath of the Office as
Secretary of War on the llthinst., at Mixcoac.
If we may rely upon the Mexican papers,
the several arrests announced in our paper of
Wednesday morning grew out of an actual con-
spiracy in the city of Mexico to overthrow the
Government. 1t was discovered in time, and
the ringleaders were arrested before their lans
were consummated.
The ministry of Pena Pena and the depu-
ties and senators who voted for the peace,
were the intended victims of the conspiracy
The plans of the conspirators in Mexico
had notifications in San Louis and Aguas CAL

and Michoacan.

of the revolutionary scheme.

the members expected to reach the city of
Mexico shortly thereafter, almost in body.
4 The desperate attempt of Father Jarauta was
considered as entirely thwarted, but he has
been working under the patronage of Paroles,
and may yet share his good fortune, though the
sentiment of the country:appears to pronounce
against both.
