THE BUFFALO HUNT.

The Washington Union gives the following
statement in positive refutation of the charges
made so frequently to hold the Government
responsible for some remissness in the dis
charge of its duties relative to this attempt to
dismember the Mexican Republic -
We understand, and now repeat what we
have heretofore said, that the President has
adopted all the measures justified by law for
the purpose of preventing the invasion of the
northern provinces of Mexico from the United
States. His ardent desire to enforce our ma
tional obligations, and to carry into faithful
execution the late treaty of peace with Mexi-
CO, has impelled him to pursue this course, al
though in possession of no official information
in regard TO such an invasion.
On the 3Oth August last, the Secretary of
State issued circular instructions in detail to
all the district attorneys of the southwestern
States, directing them to enforce the provi-
sions of the act of Congress of the goth April
1918, in relation to this subje On the same
day the Secretary of War issued an order TO
Major General Zachary Taylor, now in COM
mand of the Southern Military Division OF :he
United States, from which the following is an
extract:
"You are directed by the President to cause
vigilance to be observed along the Mexican
frontier within the geographical division un-
der your command. Should you discover any
attempt by any portion of our citizens to in
wade Mexico, you will employ the military
force TO prevent it. If you should receive any
information of such a movement as have al
luded to, you will not only take prompt mea-
sures to avert it, but give early notice to the
department of all you may learn on the sub
ject"
The Secretary of War refers Gen. Taylor to
the 9Th section of the act of April 20, 1918,
for his authority, which, so far as the same
would seem to be applicable to the present
| case, is as follows -" That in every case,''
&c in which any military expedition or enter
prise shall be begun, or set on foot, contrary
to the provisions and prohibitions of this act, y
{" it shall be lawful for the President of the
United States, or such other person as he shall
have empowered for that purpose, to employ
such part of the land and naval forces of the
United States, or of the militia thereof" &C fol-
the purpose of preventing the carrying on Of
any such expedition or enterprise from the ter
ritories or jurisdiction of the United States, a
gainst the territories or dominions of any for
cign prince or state, or of any colony, district
or people, with whom the United States are

WHAT is DEMOCRACY?

1t is the antagonist of monarchy-the ad-
vocate of liberty-the defender of the consti-
tuton-the friend and guide of the people,
from whom all government and all power en-
anate. 1t lived in revolutionary times, and
amid its stormy conflicts bore the standard un-
der which we conquered in triumph through
its desolations. No matter how or when tried,
democracy is ever the same. Based on the
popular suffrage, its vitality flows from the
public will, by which it is sustained, and
through which the great interests of the coun-
try are protected and advanced. No change
of circumstances--no untoward events-no
msfortunes, disappointments, or defeats, can
dslodge it from its deep foundation, or shake
it from its chosen seat in the bosom of The
faithful. The name ''democrat," first used as
term of reproach TO the present dominant
party of the country, has SO far grown into
popular use as to have securely fixed and firm
ly established the only true line of demarca-
ton between republicanism and monarchy.
On this broad platform Of principle we are one
and united. We stand banded together by
ties which must never-can never be sunder-
ed. One and all, then, 10 the battle. Re-
member, friends, that democracy is again on
its trial. An infuriated, conglomerated, and
speckled opposition are now combined, and
are combining, to pull down the household OF
the faithful around US. Democracy, for the
forty seventh time in our history, is again the
victim of the same abuses, the same stale
ISLANDERS, that in 1901 clustered around a JEFF
ferson, and threatened us with prostration

1t is the misfortune of the clumsy can.
didate ofMchigan, that under that broad
brimmed white hat Of his, he has the
wrongest head in the world. Every step
he takes proves to be false one, and he
is obliged to back out. If custom can
make the "retrogade movement" grace
full, General Cass ought to be the hand
soonest backer-out in the universe, for his
practice has been the most extensive.
The last instance which we have seen
of his retrogradation, is the one where he
has endeavored to get out of his plan to
benefit the volunteers in Mexico by red~-
cling their clothing allowance one dollar
per month. This was done by the prepa-
ration of an" EXPLANATORY BILL" where
by the money was to be refunded; and
we are told with a gravity that the world
wouiG be perfect ass not to appreciate,
that "the whole object of Gen. Cass, the

to taUor tie volunteers"

No REsoLUTIoNs.-Some Wings are

sion is not unusual. No resolutions were
passed in 1910, when Gen. Harrison
was nominated: none were passed in
1874, when Mr.. Clay was nominated;
and none were passed in 1S4S, when
Gen. Taylor was nominated. And we
think with the Boston Atlas, that the
omission shows wisdom. We want our
President to administer the government
according to the constitution. not by the
rule of caucus resolutions. We wish him

The Federal Candidate.

While we cheerfuly bear witness to
General Cass's high responsibility and
exemption from those personal objections
whi ;h are so often urged in the Presiden-
tial canvass, and while we admit that he
never showed "the white feather" he
certainly wore "the black cockade." Ac.
cording to all democratic usage, it is a
settled and fixed fact" that the wearing
of the black cockade made man tory
and federalist for everlasting. This
was an offence never to be forgiven or
forgotten. No man ever could be de-
mocrat who wore the black cockade.-
This was the law in Virginia politics-it
was the law of Tammany Hall. Wher
the democrats of the olden time had ex
hausted the vocabulary of denunciation
they wound up their terrific anathema
with saying of the much spitten upon po
litician, "He wore the black cockade." -
This cockade business arose in old Johr
Adams time, when the federal party
adoptedit as badge, and helped to over
throw themselves by conspicuous folly
But strange to say, strange to tell, anc
strangest of all is tie truth, that Genera
Cass was one of the very men who wore
the black cockade! We call upon tht

Taylor and Fillmore, was held at Carthage, on

burned so brightly then, are rekindled and give
token Of victory.
Gov. JOsEs, Of Tennessee, addressed the meet
lug for about two hours, and impressed his hear
era most iorciby with the truth contained in his
remarks. During his speech, he made the follow
ing significant declarations, which. coming as they
do from southern man. must have an effect,
which would not be attached to similar declara-
tons from northern man:
"On the subject Of slave extension and
General Taylo position, be said: that
while the compromises Of the Constitution
should be adhered to, the question Of slave
