From a business letter dated
PAwPAw, (Michigan,) July 6, 1848 i.


1t may be interesting to you to know the
state OF feeling in Michigan in regard to the
Presidency. If so, oandidly inform you that
Notwithstanding this State usually gives u
democratic majority of about 5000, it will
be close run between Cass and Taylor. The
Clay men in Michigan go for Taylor without
the least murmur; and am led to believe that
the malcontens and disorganlzers in New
York, Ohio and Massachusetts, as genera |
thing are not Henry Clay Whigs-bu, menwhoso
party. In this State, the Van Buren, influence
is not uncomfortable, and will five to to one
counterbaance all disahection in the Wing
ranks while the slide from locofocoism Of
hundreds Of good and patriotic voters will
have tendency even to turn over and cast the
political voice of Michigan for the old veteran
Hero Of the Mexico War.

the beauty of democracy in my eyes. This

1923. We knew him to be chieftan, and
a respectable man but few knew his principles
only as time developed them. II is otherwise

The Good Old Man.
Tune Mary Blame"


There lives to-day good old man,
All people know his name:
In honor's cause he led the van,
And is beloved Of fame; t.a. ......
Then sing for lack, the brave old lack,
The champion and the sage,
Who not one shining lustre lacks
The glory of our age.
In Mexico, with honors crowned,
He's borne our nations name;
Then let our shouts Of Joy resounj
To hail the son of Fame;
Then sing for Zack, the good old man,
The patriot brave and true,
Whose glorious deeds have echoing run
The world, in wonder through.
Then all unite, and join in might,
To give brave lack his due;
And in his cause as brasely fight
As he has fought for you;
Then sing for lack, the brave old man,
Now wars alarms are done.
He'll guide the Ship Of State as safe
As our pure Washington.

this heavy reProach, in any practicable way
The cession of that kind of property (for so il is
misnamed) lisa bagatelle, which would not
cost me second thought, If in that way gem
eral emancipation and expatriation could be
effected; and gradually, and with due sacri-
fees, think it might be. But as it is, we have
the wolf by the ears, and we can neither hold
him nor safely let him 60. Justice is in one
scale, and self-prcservaton in the other. OF
one thing am certain, that as the passage
of slaves from one State to another would
not make slave Of single human being who
would not be so without it, SO their diffusion
over a greater surface would make them ndi-
the accomplishment of their emancipation, by
dividing the burden on greater number of
coadju An abstinence, too, from this act
OF power. would remove the jealousy excited
by the undertaking of Congress to regulate the
condition of the different descriptions of men
composing State. This certainly is the ex-
elusive right Of every State, which nothing in
the constitution has taken from them and Civ
en- to the General Government. Could Con-
gress, for example, say that the non-freemen
Of Connecticut shall be reemen, or that they
shall not emigrate into any other State!
regret that am now to die in the belief
that the useless sacrifice Of themselves by the
generation Of l776, to acquire sef-govenment
and happiness to their country, is to be thrown
away by the unwise and unworthy passions OF
their sons, and that my only consolation is to
be that live not to weep over it. If they
would but dispassionately weigh the blessings
they will throw away against an abstract prin-
ciPle, more likely to be effected by union than
by cission, they would pause before they would
perpetrate this act Of suicide on themselves,
and Of treason against the hopes Of the world.
To yourself, as the faithful advocate of the
Union, tender the offering OF my high esteem
and respect.

Gen, Cass'' Letters aud Speeehes.-As often
as we have had occasion, since his nomination,
to refer to the letters and speeches Of Gen.
Cas-, we have been strongly reminded Of a
western hunting story once told in public
speech and applied to Van Buren,, by the la.
men,ed Hardin, Of Illinois, very nearly as fol-
lows:
Hoffman and Cowan, both of whom were
good shots and great boosters, went out deer
hunting, and, after getting into the woods
where they expected to find deer, they separa-
ted. Shortly afterwards, Hoffman heard the
report of Cowan's gun, and Immediately re-
joined his comrade, expecting to assist in
hanging up a deer. file found Cowan intent
upon loading his gun and shouted out
"Hallo, Cowan, what did you shoot att"
"lrs none Of your business, Hoffman, 90 on
over the hill"
Hoffman was surprised at this short answer,
and on looking around discovered a calf among
the bushes, when he again sang out
81 say, Cowan, did you shoot at that calf ~
"Yes, dds that any business of yours -
"Of eoufse not, but what made you shoot It
itm
1Why, took it for deer.n
"Well, did you hit III"
"No, missed it,"
How come you to miss it!"
"Why, I wasn't sure but what il was a
calf" .
"Wsll," said Hoffman, " you are a pretty
hunter, to shoot at calf for a deer, and then
miss it,,
"Look here, Hoffman," said Cowan, losing
his temper, :" say, don't make blamed fool
Of yourself-I shot at it just SO as to hit it if it
was deer, and miss il il il was a calf"

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

CAss ON THE TARRF.-The following is an
extract from the address Of Gen. Cass to the
Democratic Convention Of Indiana. Its date
is February Q, 1913:
"The subject of protective tariff has been
so long and ably discussed, that it would be
useless for me to more than to give you the re-
suit of my views. think, then, that the rev.
enue Of the government ought TO be brought
down to the lowest point compatible with the
performance Of its constitutional functions;
and that the imposition Of duties, necessary
with the proceeds Of the public lands, to pro-
vide shis revssae Incidental protection should
be afforded to such branches Of American in
dustry as may require it. This appears to me,
not only constitutional, but called for by the
interests Of the country; and If protective
tariff upon this principle were wisely and mo-
derately established, and then left TO lis own
operation, so that the. community could calcu-
late upon its reasonable duration, and thus
avoid ruinous fuctuntio ne, we might look for
as general acquiescence in the arrangement, as
we can expect in questions Of this cumplicat-
ed kind, when local feelings have been enlist
ed, which prudent legislature must consult
more or less, and endeavor to reconcile"

BRANDRETIIs Pills.

BE UNPREJUDlCED.-L no foolish per-
sons be so prejudiced against this now truly Gel
ebratod medicine as to despse this advice; let
it be used Immediately on pain being felt! no
matter where it may be, whether in the head or
feet, whether it be in the neck or abdomen, whe-
ther arising from external or internal cause, use
the Brandreth's Pills, and rely upon it, that the
pain will go, the body will be restored to health
as soon as nature has received sufficient assis
tance from their effect.
The quantity of impure humours discharged
from the body by the action of the Brandreth's
Pills, is replaced in the course Of a few hours
with new and pure blood, by the digestion of a
moderate meal. By purgng the body with this
medicine the whole mass Of blood becomes en-
tireIy purified and regenerated.
That blood is the life of the body, presume
is undisputed, therefore shall say that it being
the SEAT of LIFE, it must also be the seat Of dis
ease. If disease be in the blood, we should alb
stract the disease only, not the blood. 1t is the
impurities which must be removed by purgation
to secure our health, in all states of the wealth
er, in all situations, and in all climates. The
blood, like good spirit, is always trying to ben
eft the body by its struggles to expel impurities.
But it is not capable to effect its own purfcation
at all times to do this it must often have asss-
tance. When the blood is loaded with impuri-
ties, especially in this climate, the consequen-
ces may be fatal, provided the blood is not ruri-
fed at once, and this is sure TO be effected if
