G4-The Cincinnati Gazette concocted hUmbug
story few days since about the sale Of some United
States government property at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
which was really not worth bringing home, but which
the Gazette says sold at a ruinous sacrifice, IN
which it travelled of its way TO attack Gen. Cass
Ii said:
'Aftcr the close of the Florida war, the Govern
ment lost millions by the dishonesty of the agents OF
the War Department under Gen. Cass.
Now at the time this property Is alleged to have
been sold at the close of the Forda war, Gen. Cass
was the American Minister al Paris, and had had
nothing to do with the War Department, for at least
two years, and has had nothing 10 do with 1t since
This allegation against Gen. Cass of course then is
false. The statement of the sales at Vera Cruz are
of the same character we have doubt.
