TIE BLACK CockADE ADMIrTED.--We find
this paragraph in the Wheeling Times Of the 9th
inst:
"The Locofoco papers stoutly deny that Gen.
Cass ever wore the black-cockade in Ohio. We
do not know anything about that matter; bu
Job Stanbeny, ESQ.,, Of this city, who knew
Gen. Cass very intimately, in Ohio, indeed, Of
ten slept loith him, admits that Gen. Cass did
wear the black cockade, and moreover that he
himself wore the same, and says they cost
twenty-five cents. Mr.. s. is an ardent sup
Iorter Of Gen. Cass, and contends tina he does
not see any harm in black cockade.
The Locofoco orgsa at Washington admits
that Cass wore the bTack-cockade while he liv-
ed there, but that organ contends, like MIR.
that there was no manner Of har m
in black-cockade. The Wilmington organ
actually insists that the black-cockade never
was badge OF Federalism, but simply meant
patr iOtism,
We have heard great deal from Locofocos
about cold black-cockade Federalism" and
"blue-light Federalism" Now they tell us
that the black-cockade was merely an evidence
Of patriotism, aud no doubt they will tell us
next that the "blue-lights,' said TO have been
exhibited for the benefit Of the British in the
last war, was also an evidence Of patriotism.--

GEN. CAss Is ALABAMA correspondent,
OF the Southern Record thus speaks of the OPP
position TO Gen. Cass in that State. Several
OF the gentlemen mentioned are well known as
the most influential members of the Locofoco
party in the State of Alabama. This proves
that Mr.. Yancy is not alone:
"ln and Immediately around Montgomery
nearly all the leading Democrats are opposed
to them. Certainly those who have heretofore
been most prominent are opposed to General
Cass; and among the number are Messrs. Bel
ser, fancey, John Gilmore, N. Harris, Scott,
Semple, May, and others. Mr.. Belser came
out on the 2lst inst, in the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser, with long article against Cass. They
have been arranging to Start a paper there in
opposition TO Gen. Cass. II is to be conducted
by their ablest writers. learn an effort will
be made by them TO run third candidate. II
1t should not be done, some of that party will
vote for Gen. Taylor. and Fillmore too.'

CoMrLIMESTAnr.-ANe New York paper in an
article on the dangerous and exciting subject Of
abolition, pays the following compliment to
ex-President Van Buren:-"Martin Van Buren,
is cold-blooded. ambitious. revengeful, and
dishonest man. The few features of his char
acter are just looming gloomily before the
world. He isa modern Burr in political &C.
ton, with more cunning than Burr, and pre-
senting greater hopes Of success in his projects

LocoFoco BANK MASAGEMESr.-I(t the lead
ers OF the iocofoco party are consistent in any
thing, is their hatred for Banks. As long
ago as 1882 they swore by Old Hickory that o
institution Of the kind should exist ifthey could
prevent IL; and they have kept their OATH
Whenever aud wherever they have been able
40 lay hands upon Bank, they kill it so dead
that il never kicks afterwards-as we say out
West, they climb, skin and jay hawk" it, TAX
all the tallow aud and leaving the dry hide on
the fence. They go agin Banks, they do-and
they 60 into them-whenever they can,-and
we never hear ola Locofoco being bank pres
idept. or director. but we feel certain that il
will be quilted in short order. Ii is only the
oiker day we heard Of the failure of the Canal
Bank at Albany, N. Y. 1t is now stated that
abe public mind in that vicinity has been much
infiamed by the facts brought to light i'm the
course ofan examination of the condition OF
the Drohru IHstrtuSruu. Ine commissioners
appointed to examine into the concern have
found. il is said less than thousand dollars in
specie and not one bill ola solvent bank, and
this and the accumulation of broken notes on
hand constitute the assets Of the bank. On
the other hand the circulation is found TO be
double the amount first reported by the officers.
Ii Is already ascertained TO be $3.50 900, and the
Investigation has not yet terminated. The
amount due to individual depositors and coun.
try banks is very great, for the institution paid
large and unaccustomed rate Of interest for
the use OF deposites.
The Louisville Journal says that among the
directors Of the Canal Bank was the notorious
Edwin Croswell of the Albany Argus, the
Chief manager and master-spirit Of the whole
concern. croswell is found to be debtor to
the empty bank to the amount of $50, 600, aud.
the very day before the exposure of its utter
rotienness, he made desperate attempt to
borrow for il 100000 in order to keep the
game up for time longer. HE'S the most influ
entail Of all the old Hunker Locofocos in the
State OF New York, if not in the United States.
and his vice has ever been loudest and most
potent among those who denounce the Wings
asa party that goes for "bank- rags against the
hard Democratic currency.

JoHN A. DIx.-We have seen letter saws
the Buffalo Republic. from our distinguished
Senator, expressing surprise that the radical
democracy Of New York should have doubted
his position Tor moment. He avows him
self with them IN everything. He is opposed
also, TO any compromise Of the slavery ques.
ton, and will vote against any bill which con-
templates the planting of slavery upon free
soil.
From the above We should judge that "Old
Circumstance" will fail to get Mr.. J. A. Dix's
