vote for him to be the President Of the unl'eu

rohue and recant his oath Of l837-and this
Kind Of testimony Mr., Hill, q lawyer, regards
rs a sufficient offset to d solemn oath such
evidence may, perhapsbe aesable in a Mayors
Court; but / doubt much il il would be re-
cdyrd in any other Court throughout the
laid. Tie Tess that is said about the "recaH-
tation and realization" Of Mr.. Wiso's oath the
betterit viii be lor The reputation Of that gem
leusan and Mr., Cass; fol all who have read Mr..
Wiso'a late letter, d us, be compelled to admit
that he has placed himself and en-. Cass, IN a
most unpleasant and singular prodicament. SO
much for Mr., Cass {" political honesty"
Mir, Hlls' next point was Gen. Coss's"capt-
bility"-He argued as did Col. Melville 10 his
speech delivered here in July last, that "Cnss
is cappble If filling The Presidential seat be-
cause be has held Office under Government for
a certain number Of years;' such sophislry is
too ~palpable to deceive, a man may hold the
Offices that Gen. Cass has he d, and be possess
ed Qfthe most brilliant talents, a ID yet lack that
sound judgment,tha practical sense, that decis-
ion Of character, and that ingenuouslibera spir-
il, which looks to the interest of tic whole peo-
pie, and not to that Of d party or faction, and
which is 50 absolutely essenlialtoth character
Of the President Of the United States. That
Gen. Casa is possessed of all these qualilica-
tions, which are necessary to render him capa-
bic TO fill the Presidential office, | deny. His
imprudent aod clustering course, in regard to
the Oregon Question, Mexican war, &C., re-

judgments Whla ms lnuec'sloh o. character
