The following announcement OF the destruction OF

TO confirm every word and syllable written by General
Cass, glorious candidate for the presidency, upon the
subject. AS good authority, again copy from the
National lntegencer-iirs article under the editorial
head:

1t affords pleasure 10 bring light these scraps of
history, which were quietly reposIng in oblivion. We
have only done in selfdefence. The record of the
occurrences the Niagara frontier, which took place
thirty years ago, ransacked for the purpose OF
destroying the fair fame of the democratic candidate for
the presidency A letter produced to prove that he
had grossly libeed the volunteers and militia OF that
State, and unworthy of the support of the present
population. Gen. Cass NAME 50 VOLUNTEERS" In
his letter to the Secretary of War; which has been dragged
before the public by the hired sanderer of the wing
mittee He transmitted facts to the department. which
communicated TO him by the honest and patriotic ct
of the State of New York. whose families and prop
ery left to the tender merces of British and Indian
avages by the baseness and cowardce of those whose
duty to protect and defend the Niagara frontier.
His report has been rumphanly vndcated and sustained
by volume OF proof which cannot be conroyerted. 1t
is found in the published history of the country.
Like pure gold the candidate is rubbed, the
more and trying the ordeal through which his
character is made to pass by the wing achyniss the
brighter becomes All the unprincpled lbellers that
wing money purchase, cannot take from him the
strong affections of the American democracy We will
be heard from again. PENNSYLVANIA.
