The fact was unmista- kable for the declaration was now before us, that his supporters did not know whether Gen. Taylor would exercise the veto for the protection of mnorities. He challenged the production of any writing or saying of Gen.

 TIE BRAVE OLD VOLUNTEER
 We copy the following from the Zanes vile (Ohio) Aurora, it being the testimony of brave man who was present and wit messed the heroic conduct of Gen. Cass a the time of Hull's sure nder:
 Let federalism repeat her foolish false. hoods against Lewis Cass Her most silly one is, that he did not break his sword on hearing of Hull's surrender. Below we have letter from Squire Willis, an old and highly esteemed citizen of this county, on the subject. We can get let. ters from others, we think, who were eye witnesses ot the transaction. This abuse of Gen. Cass is not at all detrimental to his prospects of election to the presiden- cy. The enthusiasm and support of old companions in arms is called out by these cowardly attacks:
 EVANSVILLE, Ohio, June l9, Is4s. To the Editor of the Awora:
 SIR In the Zanesville Courier of this date noticed an article headed "I'he Broken Sword," in which it is stated that the honor of breaking his sword is 'sbor- rowed, or rather stolen capital;" that it was Gen. McArthur, and not Gen. Lewis Class, who broke his sword at the time of Hull's surrender. Now it may be that Col. McAurthur did break his sword, for he was patriot and brave man but if he did, the writer of this did not see or hear of it at the time. But did see Col. Cass break his sword at the pickets where Gen. Brock-the British commander met Colonel McArthur and Colonel Cass above Well Springs, below Detroit. 1 was standing within six feet of Col. Cass at the time and never will forget the in- dignation and modification he exhibited at the time.
 These silly attempts to deprive Gen. Cass of his patriotism and courage, made by men or the sons of men who kept sha- dy in those dark days, will only have the effect to rally to his standard all the sol diers of 1912. Col. Cass was loved by all his men. It could not be otherwise. for he loved them all, and did all he could to promote their comfort. My voice and my vote are for Cass and Butler. ,1 u-e VIM. WILLIS.

TIE "BLooDHoUND" PoLIcY-Many of our readers doubtless remember the outcry rais d by the Federal Wings a. gainst President Van Buren and his ad. ministration, during the campaign of 1S40 because bloodhounds had been used fnl fereting out the Indians, in the Seminole war. The following document reveals the authors of that policy, and may be O some use in the Presidential campaign We therefore put it on record.
 HEAD QUARTERS ARMY OF THE SOUTH,
 Fort Brooke, July 2sth. 1886. SIR-I have the honor to enclose you a communication, this moment received, on the subject of procuring bloodhounds from the Island of Cuba, to aid the army in it's operations against the hostile Indi- ans in Florida. I am decidedly in favol of the measure, and beg leave again to urge it as the only IT cans of ridding the country of the Indians, who are now bro. ken up into small parties that take shelter in the swamps and hammocks as the army approaches, making it impossible for us to follow or ovcrtake them. without the aio of such auxiiaries. sf.3 lsi
 Should this measure meet the approba. ton of the Department, and the necessa ry authority be granted, will open cor. respondence on the subject with Mr. Ev. erston,, through Maj. Hunt. Assistant Quartermaster at Savannah, and win u thorize him, if it can be done on req sonable terms, to employ few dogs witt persons who understand their manage ment. 9la & fuAltl .e9
 wish it to be distinctly understood, tha my object in employing dogs is only to as certain where the Indians can be found not to, worry them. er r e.e T9l !

n@ With what a boor grace does if

lS With what a poor grace does ii come from the Wings to charge Gen. Cass with being onco in favor of the Will mot Proviso, on the statements of Miller the abolitionist of New Jersey and Rath burn of the like kidney, of New York. This is pretty proof for Southern Whig to produce to Southern audience? Why these fellows, will get to quoting what these abolitionists said about slavery to prove that it Is an evil, after while, if their assertions are believed by Southern men. Oh no 1; the Democratic doc urine at the South, is, that these advocates of Niggerdom would not be believed on oath. s..tf
 To; their testimony as to the private opinions of Gen. Cass, will be impeach- ed by the Southern Democracy. This is pretty resort-that Miller and Rathburn have to be brought up9n the stand to prove what he should say {, in private conversation, againstthe published speech es and votes against the Wilmot Provso, of Gen. Cass. Fallen Whiggery into mo- partison--sure you will have to bring witnesses forward that does not smell niggerish before you can convince South ern men that Gen. Cass will not do to trust. iif HE

The Detroit Advertiser, in it's bitterness against Gen. Cass, has gone so far as to impugn the motives of Mrs. Cass, in her attendance on Sundy School in that city, and on account of donations made by her to that benevolent object, about a year ago In rebulze of the foul libeller, the following letter was written to him by one of the respectable Whig citizens of De- treit. It must have taken the skin off the miscreant;

 l was pained to see the enclosed para. graph in your paper of yesterday.
 l am aware that it was called out by the fact having been communicated to yor that Mrs. Cass attended small Mission ary Sunday School, in remote and long neglected part of the city, where her in terest has been enlisted since its organiza. tion a year ago and when she was too ill to attend in person, she sent ten dollars tc purchase books for that same school. Il is also known that her house has been o. pen for the meetings of the Orphan Asso. citation ever since her return from France and mainly because her health would moi admit of her going out to meet the Asso. citation elsewhere. You are at liberty to call Sunday Schools ''little matters" but i you can descend to things so vile as to impugn the motives of a pious sabbatl school teacher, and follow with your polit ical poison the charitable and truly philan thropic acts of christian female, who seeks only--as she has ever done-tt benefit the orphan and ignorant children o our city, you will not leave such corrup efnsions at my door, but send me your bil tomorrow morning.

Letter from General Taylor

The Louisville Journal says it has been shown letter from Gen. Taylor, dated the goth, in which he wrote .8g
 "It appears 1 was nominated by the whig national convention which met in Philadelphia on the 7th of the present month, as their candidate for the Presden- cy at the comeing election. I can truly say it is not matter ofexultation. howev- CT much l may feel gratifed at the compli. ment paid me by so highly intelligent and pure body as that convention. No one can appreciate the compliment more high y than do, yet had they named some one of the distinguished civilians who were before them instead of myself, it would have met my most cordial appreciation.
 In what labyrinth of inconsistency are these whigs involving old Rough and Ready! They ought to take pity on him and stop printing his letters. Compare he foregoing extract with the following, from Gen. Tavlor's letter to the Rich mond Republican, and, supposing the n bothto be genuine, is a man capable ofthus grossly contradicting himself about his own position, ought to be trusted with the management of the affairs ofthis vast Re- public. '
 In his letter to the Richmond Republi- can, Gen. Taylor said el
 T do not design to withdraw my name if Mir. Clay be the nominee of the whig national convention; and, in this connec- tion, 1 beg permission to remark that the statements which have been so positively made in some of the Northern prints to the effect 'sthat I would :not suffer my name to be used," are not correct, and have no foundation in any oral or written remark of mine. It has not be .n my in- tention, at any moment, to change my po- sition, or to withdraw my name from the canvass. whoever may be the nominee of the national convention, either of the whig or democratic convention"
