The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1848-06-23

Like the response of the Delphian oracle
the speeches and letters of the shrewd, un.
principled a%spirant for Office are so vague and
non. committal as to be susceptible Of various
interpretations. This vagueness-this trim
ming between the Scylla and Charybdis o.
public opinion on any great question, is the
distinguished characteristic of all the produc-
lions of Gen. Cass. Placing strong confidence
in this feature of those productions, our neigh
Dor partly challenged us the other day to
prove thatsGen Cass had ever been in favor Of
the Wilmot Proviso. We would believe oul
neighbor under oath before a court Of Justice,
and we know that, he would not give it as even
his opinion, nnder those circumstances, that
Cass was never a supporter of the Proviso.-
In his letter to Mr.. Nicholson. which is now
quoted as his Reputation Of the Proyiso, Gen,
Uass admits that his opinions had undergone
a /" great change" on the subject. This Isl at
least, a part Of the evidence for which our
n~eighbor inquired SO anxiously. But as the
prisoner at the bar may not criminate himself,
we will now take tho deposition of Hon. Mr..
Rathbun Of New York. At the late Utica
convention in New York Mr.. Rathbun made
a speech, oil which the following is a por-
ton:
The venerable Senator from Michigan, once
an ardent advocate Of the Jefferson Ordinance
of 1857, has discovered some new light, and
| understand has recently written a letter to
Tennessee, in which he avows himself the
advocate Of slavery extension. This is sud
den and radical change in views of that dis
linguishod Senator on that question, and /
propose to enquire briefly into the reason OF.
that change. Mr.. President, knew very well
the views as feelings o fthat Senator in the
Of Augustl 846I leared tlemfiomhisown
lips, on the day that Congress adjourned, and
at the same time that Senator Davis Of Mas
sachusetts, spoke up to the adjournment ofths
Senate on the wilmot proyiso, | met the Sena-
tor at the railroad depot in Washington, and
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1848-06-23

Almost every body in Washington City re-
members an old he goat, which formerly inha-
bited MAYORS livery, on Pennsylvania Av-
enue. This animal was in all probability the
most independent citizen of the metropolis-he
belonged to no party, though he frequently
gave passengers striking proofs of his adhesion
TO the l%evelling principle; for whenever a per-
son stopped any where in his vicinage, Billy
was sure to make at him-horns and all. The
boys took delight in irritating the long-beard-
ed gentlemen, and frequently so annoyed him
that he would make war against lamp posts
and trees, to their great amusement.
One day the great luminary of the West,
Henry Clay, was passing down the avenue,
and seeing the boys intent on worrying Billy
into a fever, stopped, and, with his character
istic humanity, expOstulated with them on
their cruelty. The boys listened in silent awe
to the eloquent appeal of the great statesman;
but it was all Cherokee to Billy, who-the UNI
grateful ~scamp!-arose majestically on his him
der legs, and made a desperate plunge at his
friend and advocate. Mr.. Clay-although he
had not " slain a Mexican" proved himself
too much for his horned assailant; he seized
both horns Of the dilemma, and then com
" the tug of WARRIOR Greek had met Greek.
The struggle was long and doubtful.
"Hahm exclaimed the statesman, +" have
got you fast, you rascal! rll teach you better
manners. But boys" continued he, turning
to the laughing urchins, " what shall | do
now?"
"Wby, trip up his feet, Mr.. Clay" said
they.
Mr.. Clay did as he was told and after many
severe efforts, brought Billy down on his side,
Here he looked at the boys imploringly, seem
ing to say, 81 never was in such a fix be(ore."
The combatants were nearly exhausted
goaty had the advantage, for he was gaining
breath all the while that the statesman was
losing it.
"Boys," exclaimed he, putting and blowing,
".his is rather an awkward business. What
am | to do now 2"
"Why-don't you know p, said a little fell
lew, making preparations to run as he spoke,
" All you have got to do is to let 50 and run
like blnzes"

CANTON, MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY, JUNE 81, ls4s.

Kings, the People are not Deities, to be ador
ed; and, if they were, would not, it is to b,
hoped, be such shallow ones as to measure
the sincerity of their adorers by the n%oisines,
oil their prayers or the quantity of empty in.
cense which they burnt upon their shrines.. A
scottish King takes his greatest A~atterers for hi,
truest friends; buta wise sovereign knows his
worst and his most worthy subjects; those BY
their being constantly counting him on their
knees, these by their standing erect, serving
him, and telling him Of his errors, not his vain
projections of majesty or might, or all.know.
lngness. If kings may be cajoIed, so can the
sovereign people. The true power Of either
suffers, and is even subject to be lost, by moth
ing so much as by their listening rather 70 their
own passions and pride, and to the servile and
and selfish who play upon them, than TO the
sincere voice Of those who love them. Dema.
gogues are but the same fatal hatte+eEs Of the
sovereign people who would, were that people
a monarch, be his s%upplest, most bringing codr-
tiers Wo to either King or Commonwealth
that, won by their obsequionsness, yields the
seeptre to their hands! A tyranny ensues, an
abuse OF all the powers, for the same bad ends
OF the sycophants, the fawners, the favorites,
who, by dint Of humoring and deceiving, have
mastered their master. And, as such a sur
render OF their authority to mere minions con-
ducts kings to the loss of their crowns, to rev.
oluIion and downfall, like that which has of
late lighted upon European princes, SO does it
lead a duped people on to a regular despotism,
the forcible and permanent establishment of an
irresponsible power, founded. originally on
compliance with all their %fancies, but soon to
scorn and trample on their soberest will and
dearest happiness. This is not quite yet a fix
ed condition of things amongst us; but, if US
