CAss AND Ills PRINcIPLEs.-We copJ in an
another column from the Louisville Journal, a
short-and correct as far as it goes-history Of
Gen. Cass, the nominee of the Baltimore Loco
foco Convention for President. We have been
so much engaged since the nominations have
Ia word about them ourself, but we shall take
the opportunity soon. In the meantime we
agree with the Louisville Journal and adopt Its
suggestion, as follows There are very many
honest men in that party, and we appeal to all
such to pause before raising their voices in ia
vor Of Lewis Cass as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. II may be that at present they know
little of him. and, If so, let them not commi,
themselves 10 his support until they know him
more thoroughly. Let them scom to follow
blindly the course Of their would be leaders,
We have attempted to give them, in our paper
Of to-day. brief sketch of the political biogr-a
ply OF the nominee Of their convention, and
we assure them, that, upon investigation, the,
will find that this sketch. though exceedingl,
imperfect, is strictly true in every particular
Nay more. they will find that we have not al
luded to one-half or even to one-fourth of tn,
ldisgraceful incidents in the Michigan Senator,
most Infamous political history. They will
find. that. in less than five weeks from tn,
present time, expositions will be made tina
will render him utterly contemplate in the es
timation of every honest and high-minded mar
In the United States.
Did we not fully and confidently believe tina
there are thousands of Democrats in our State
and tens of thousands in the United States who
will trample in scorn upon the nomination o
Gen. Cass for the Presidency, we should fee
infinitely less confidence than we now do in
The glory of our country's political destiny.

@The Louisville Journal says the objec-
ton to Folks norination in 1874 was that he

to Cass is that he is too well known. He is

1--WE don't know who is entitled TO
ihe credit OF making the following sensible
remarks on the subject Of duelling, but
we are decidedly of opinion that there is
a erea, deal more of truth than poetry in
them, and we are only sorry that 1iere are
so few men who are challenged, Who OK
hibit as much good sense and moral cour-
age as The editor in question:
E7TThe editor of a newspaper at Perth
being challenged the other day by Kas-
snIh, the leader Of the Ria,gar party,
cody replied that any fool might give a
challenge, but that two fools were needed
for a fgh:.
What an admirable reply; it was lite
rally answering a Tool according TO his
folly, and il the editor did nothing TO pro-
woke the ire of the challenger urjusily,
he is an honor 10 his profession. How
| much more sensible is such a man as that,
than another that VIC wot of, whO flourish
es large in The fraternity, and now limps
through lie with a catch IN his knee, OF
which he is weak enough to I've r%ercepti-
bly, vain. Ape, vain; fer il is a fact, that
a duel is never accepted but for one rea-
son, and that is vanity. A man may give
a challenge from a %reveneeful spirit, in lis
desire for an opportunity 10 resent a real
or laneied injury, but lie is a fool to do it.
Another accepts it, however, from vanity.
He is afraid Of the opinion of the world
should he refuse il; and then, Us 3 matter
Of course, after he has stood lis adverse
ry's fire, he turns TO The world like a
spoiled cliId, TO he petted Tor his spirit.
1t is vanity, weakness, folly, from begin
