remembers ever to have heard of .'the
battle of Aux Canards" before the late
nomination of Gen. Cass for the Presi-
dency. All the historians of the late war
with Great Britain though exceedingly
minute in their details, are silent in regard
to 1t, and there is nc probability that any
man OF the present generation would ever
have heard of it if Cass himself had not
hunted up his old report and got it pub
Ilshed a few weeks ago in his Detroit
organ.
And now we do suppose our readers
will hardly be able to keep from laugh
ing when we inform them that the Loco
foco editors, East, West, North and
South, are actually dwelling upon what
they call "tht battle of Aux Canards' as
one Of the most brilliant events in our
country's history. One of these editors,
in his glorifcation Of it, uses all old
wood-cut of the battle of Bunker Hill to
illustrate the sanguinary scene, and des-
cribes it as if he were writing about the
field OF Austerlitz or Waterloo. If YOU
would believe the Docofoco editors, Mon
terey. Buena Vista, Cerro JGordo, Cha
pultepec, and Molino del Rey all dwindle
into utter insigni6cance in comparison
with the terrible "battle ofAux Canards."
We are grieved however, that a Mr..
Stewart, one of the Indiana Locofoco
Senators, was a lite unfortunate the 9TH
er day in an attempt to describe this me-
morable tight. After clarifying the mill
tary character of Cass over that Of Gen.
Taylor, Gen. Sect, and every body else.
he sioqueptly exclaimed "Nho of us,
fellow-citizens, what man or woman or
child, is not familiar with the name
and the glories of the immortal battle field
of-of-of-" but the discounted orator
could not for the life of him think of the
name ofthe battlefield with which eyery
"man, woman and child" was supposed
to be so ''familiar;;" and, as no man, wo.
man or child present seemed able to come
to his relief, he had to sit down, leaving
the name of the terrible battlefield un-
spoken,-LouisviM Journal.

piles, it becomes important tt detect and
expose false issues, intended to operate
upon different sections ofthe Union. We
should therefore be glad to be speedily
informed of the grounds on which our OPP
ponents wage the contest in every section
OF the country. Should the Wings of the
North fraternize with the abolitionists,
this part should be exposed at the South,
t.. prevent them reporting to the people
that they are the only safeguards Of her
peculiar interests.
Letters and papers showing the pro-
gress of the canvass, and exposing the
course ofthe Wings in different sections
ofthe Union, should be directed to Henry

The Battle of Aux Canards.

At the commencement of the last war,
when Col. Cass was with Gov. Hull, in or
near Canada, he went out one day with a
few men and saw a squad of British SOL
diers at a bridge called Aux Canards.-
When Cass's men got within gunshot
they fired upon the British, who fired
back again and ram. Cass had two men
slightly wounded. Such at least was his
own official account of the affair which
has been hunted up and published in all
the Locofoco papers in the country
The skirmish is now called 1.-THE battle of
Aux Canards." W. do not suppose

These were fired upon, and speedily re-

Nearly all last night there were enquiries made
vf>She attendant at the door of tho Speakers
room, as to the condition Of Mr.. Adams. It was
supposed that he must die on the 22d of Februa.
ry and there was, in consequence of his being
alive this morning, not little disappointment
1t was the desire of many that he would depart
on the birthday of the father of his country
not because they were uncharitably disposed,
but because they knew he must soon cease to
breathe, and that, in his Inconsistencies, life
possessed no charm for him, not even that of
hope!
Mr.. Adams has not eaten anything for more
than two days-not since early on Monday morn
ing. All that friendship can do has been done /;
and he now lies upon cot, breathing heavily.
and with the phlegm rafting in his throat. He
may live another day-he may die within the
next hour.
