GeN WASHINGTON AND GEN. TAYLOR
The following beautiful portrait OF General
Washington is found in an address delivered by
Gen Lewis Cass, at Washington City, on me
3Oh January, 1885, as President OF the Natlohai
Hislo,ial Society. AS the Pennsylvania lruiy
SAYS, ri is as Just tribute 10 the great character
of that wonderful man, as il is splendid piece
II literary composition This is The man 10
whom Gen. Taylor is compared BY his lncis-
Greet supporters-Gen. Taylor, who has never
voted in his life-Gen Taylor, who puo'ishes
his incompeiency-Gen. Taylor, whose posihon
has been changed as often as the ~ea'heIcoch
in a windy day. The contrast il made sun
more striking by This really sublime piece oil eo-
quence.'
We nublish il, not only 10 mark the broad con-
,rast between Washington and Taylor, the latter

cass had deprecated and assaiied the character
Of Washington. From every charge, however
vile raised b. The Wings against Gen. Cass ne
has come oul like pure gold, The brighter from
atrition. Here is The extract;
The world has grown wiser in lis estimate OF
human worth, and the fame OF common heroes
has become cheaper and cheaper But we nave
| ono name that can never die. One star, when
M nish, Of moral darkness can exinguish. II
will shine on brighter and brighter, I'll II IS 'os

cy and invoked IN poetry,
s.When Heaven its sparkling portals shat display,
| And break upon W IN the Hood oil day;
| No more the rising sun shall glld thr morn,
! Nor evening Cynthia NIL her silver morn;
| But lost, dissolved IN thy superior rays,
