formed by means which Of 600 drunkOrds were
reformed; that the General told him that IL
was all a sham for a man TO pretend he could
not stand The damps and heats Of the south
without spirituous liquors. Gen. 7. was a
total abstinence man, and the only command
ing officer who did not drill his troops on the
Sabbath. Mr.. Lamb also stated that Gen. L.
attended his church regularly, and used nOPTO
fame language. Mr.. Lamb closed by saying
that he was no politician. nor did he wish his
remarks to be viewedi in a political lighti he
merely made them TO show that the way for

Gen. Cas- al The WesL-It is well known

Folks veto Of the River and Harbor Bill, plac-
ed himself at direct variance with his course on
the subject of Internal improvements, and
even condemned his own vote in favor of the
bill which Mr.. Polk vetoed. This state Of
things affords the Locofocos Of the West the
means of interpreting Gen. Cass in favor of
Internal Improvements. His letter Of accep-
tanceand the pledges i; containe ed are thrown
aside, and his votes are quoted in the manner
Of the following extract from the Chicago
Democrat.-H. Wig.
This session of Congress on all occasions
where the question has come up, Gen. Cass
voted for the improvement of Harbor and Riv-
ers. Yet in the face of these facts, the whig
papers are raising a dreadfuld hue and cry. un-
der the pretence that Gen. Cass is opposed to
Internal improvements, and would, If elected,
veto any bill having such for its object. This
is the usual game Of brag at which the wings
are so expert, and by which they seek to
throw dust in the peoples eyes, In this in
stance, however, they have defeated their pur-
pose, and over-reached themselves.

Now, it is notorious that the "platform" Of
the late Democratic National Convention goes
no farther than this: ii merely denies the pow
eFof Congress to interfere with slavery in the
States, and refused to admit an amendment
embracing the territories and the District Of

the unfairness Of Southern Locofoco editors
in their COMBINATIONS of Mr. Fillmore they
omit to acknowledge that he has gone so fal
and even farther than the Baltimore cOnven.
