b0s, and that have always met this declaration with the
assurance that Gen. LEWIS CAss, as Western man, was
fully identified with the interests of the West and could not
be opposed to the Improvements so much needed by the
pie Of the West and Of the whole country.

Either ZACHARY TAYLOR or LEWIS CAss will be
the next President of the United States. II the
former, we shall live at peace with all the world,
contented with our present limits, without seeking
new territories to conquer and annex II the latter,
we shall have continuance Of the ambitious and
aggressive policy which has characterized the pre-
sent Administration. The issue is distinctly put,
and is acknowledged by the leading Democratic
papers. For instance, the Post OF this morning
says "The policy Of TERRITORIAL EXPANSION, ap-
proved IN the result Of the election Of 1874, tciH
nor be either rerersed or re-a6frmed."
Such then is the position of the two parties.
Every Wing vote given TO a third candidate will OF
course count in favor Of CAss. Gen. TAYLOR can
not be elected without exertion, and to make sure
of this desirable result and thereby bring back TO
our country the blessings Of peace, we must rally
TO the work and give him the benefit Of full vote.
The Liberty party made sad mistake in 1874,
which resulted in the election OF JAMES X. Polk,
the annexation Of Texas, and the war with Mexico.
Had the Liberty men been tme to their professions
Of opposition 10 the annexation Of Texas, HENRY
Clay would have been elected, and the Mexican
war averted. The same issue is involved at the
coming election. II the opponents Of war and an
nexaton cater their votes for candidates who can
never be elected, and thereby defeat the Wing ticket
we shall have continuance of annexation and
war''--the latter TO be waged with FAR more pow
erful enemy than the enervated Mexicans.
