tinctly rendered an issue which the democ-
racy OF New York did not insist upon. For
u was the subserviency and trucking and
mountaineering of Gen. Cass on the uues-
ton OF freedom, which has alone given him
the nomination. As for Mr.. Cass. we have
only to say what we have before said. that
we consider him the most unprncipled and
venal of all the ugh-faces-lackinp the
honesty and stability necessary for the head
of a free government.
The disaflection in ahe Loco-Foco ranks
is not confined to New-York The princi-
pie of freedom upon free soil has taken
hold of the heart of the people elsewhere
than here. Wherever this is the case,
stong expressions of disgust at the nomin-
alton of Cass are heard. Subjoned are two
instances. -AW. Ere Journal.

General Cass is nominated bv the Bal
timore Convention. What shall be done in
the premises is the question that all are
asking We shall act as near in accordance
with the principles VIC have heretofore pro-
fcssed and advocated and which are well
understood by our readers, as practicable
| The voice Of the great State of New
York, of her noble democracy has not been
heard in making this nomination. 1t is not,
therefore, the nomination of Democratic
National Con ,ention, such us the delegates
were sent to Baltimore to make, and is Of
no binding obligation upon the Democracy
of the nation, or any part of it, except so
far as they choose to ratify it.
The Democracy of Newly ork it is be-
lievcd, will have candidate in the field.
and the Democracy of other Free States
will probably unite with them.
The Wing party will probably nominate
Henry Clay, Gen. Taylor or Gen Scott
If so, Democratic candidate, planted upon
the doctrines of the Newly ork Democracy,
viz free soil, free men, free speech, and
free commerce, would carry the North against
all opposition, and probably go into the
Presidential chair.
From tho Southport (vscon.in) Telegraph.
Again, we need not say that it is quite
possible for men by trickery to secure
nomination, whose whole life has been
living lie upon Democracy. If Gen. Cass
has not always been such an one, he is al
least such an one now; and if he be nom
mated, wherein, under such circumstances.
is the obligation to support him in virtue Of
Democratic principle He says, should he
be elected, Congress shall not interpose if
he can help it, to- prevent the spread Of sla-
very into territory now free. Now we
need not say that this position is at war
with the interests of free labor, and conse-
quentIy at war with Democracy, for we all
know it. Can, then, National Conven-
ton alter this state of affairs, or make that
Democratic which is now its opposite? If
the National Convention betrays the princi-
Piles of Democracy, we know not what rule
makes it incumbent on individual members
Of the party to complete the treason and to
pull down the pillars of the temple on their
own heads. We have no doubt, if the Ma
tional Convention acts in accordance with
Democratic principle, and presents as a
candidate proper exponent of such prin-
ciple, there will be a universal rally to his
support. But we do not believe that even
a National Convention can force an unwor-
thy man upon the party.

The Loco-Foco NOMINATIONS IN SoUTu
CARoLINA.-ln announcing the nomina
tons made by the late Loco-Foco Conven
ton at Baltimore, the Charleston New,
says:
1t is our opinion that this nomination will
not receive the assent of the State of South
: Carolina; and we have no doubt that the
: State will, in its primary assemblies, disa
vow the act of the individual who ha,

No one who sat in that assembly was au
thorized to cast her vote for Gen, Cass, OF
any other candidate she is not bound
therefore, in honor or principle, to abide

untrammeled TO that course which her
sense of duty, under the Constitution and
