confidence sufficient in Lewis Cass, to make him
marshal of the then territory of Ohio. -'-- -,- ~.
Thirdly.-Because Lewis Cass, in the last
with our impacable enemy, Great Britain, was tho
first who entered Canada and had his wise
counsels been adopted, tho British provinces might
now form an integral part of our glorious eopedera-
ton. - ... ., - .-+. .... i... - @

drew Jackson, initiating his ustrious prototype ea
ed Lewis Cass to his councils, by making him Sec

Sixthly.-Because Lewis Cass, when our minister
to France, circumvented and annihilated the wilea

us of our rights to the highway of nations.

ted discussion the Oregon question, boldly, fear
lessly, and honestly advocated right of territory

vleges which it has and does to citizens of native
births and because it scattered the four winds of
Heaven the odous alien, gagging, and sediton laws.
Tenthly and lasty.-Because, as Lewis Cass win
be triumphantly elected, he will not submit to the
FOREIGN dictaton of Great Britain. will if that
naughty and overbearng power dare insult our coun-
try take ample vengeance upon her for all the wrongs
