The telegraph conveys us the information That after
four baIlongs, Gen Lewis Cass, of Michigan, was
mated by the national convention, by twohrds vote
the democratic candidate for the presidency General
Cass is distinguished alike civilian and solder-as
statesman aud dpomatist and perhaps among all the
distinguished democrats who his competitors for
the nomination, no can rally more unedy to his
support the energies and efforts OF the democratic party Of
the nation or his popularity, the vote he received in
the convention is strong evidence.
From the Hartford Connectc Times
The telegraph wires had only time to announce the
nomination of Gov Cass, when the federal presses began
to abuse him in bitter terms. The Tribune" opened the
ball of biackguardsm and denuncaton and the COurdnt
peeps the echo and waddles along in the Tnbunes track
feeble imitation and caricature of vile SANDER. The
abuse comes down. step by step and has already reach
papers. They abused him for breaking down the infa
nous schemes of England, and maintaining the rights OF
the United States The Tribune and other federal pa
pers of this country follow the British press and the
Couran makes an effort to initiate them.
Let the federaliss go on with their abuse. Let the
Tribune Its malice and ITS studied Misrepresentation
borrow ugly sentences from the London Times to apply
to the American statesman who has commended with
strong for the rights of his fellow citizens at home
and abroad and let the feeble echoes of British tyranny
and the hypocrite Greeley, retail the SANDERS 1t will
only endear Gov Cass closely the republicans OF
the Union The fall elections will prove him to be- at
least 'THE LUCKY MAN"
