Cass and tic yyilimot Proviso.

The latest Roorback put forth by the
inventive genius Of the Federal press TO

Washington Union bad received letter
from Gen. Cass. in which he pledged him
self to veto the Wilmot Proviso should il
pass Congress. '-Jefcrsonian.
The editor Of the Washington Union
makes use Of the following language.
at all events we are happy to under
stand by private letters that Gen. Cass
firmly stands the ground which he has ia
ken. Being applied to formerly by a man
or two Of the Wilmot stamp. he declared
unhcstatngly that he adhered to his
Nicholson letter and to the Baltimore
PLATFORM; and that if elected President. he
would veto the Wilmot Proviso. Dare
Gen. Taylor make such declaration!'

The late election IN this coEnsg.-It is !
perhaps the better policy in general, TO let
what has passed 60 for what it is worth.
and look TO the future for reformation: but
the late canvass in this county was con-
Quoted in such a manner as TO deserve
passing notice and decided condemna-
ton. We allude particularly 10 the can
vass for sheriff: and are enabled however
TO speak only from common report Its
said the candidate for sheriff :ra,ernized
with the abolirionists and ..free soil men
In the first place it is said Mr. Baker hood
winked the aboiitioniss; by declaring HIM
self in favor of the Wilmot proviso, and
opposed to Cass, while with his locofoco
friends he went the whole hog for the Bal
timore nominee. II is said again to get
the support Of certain ''frce soilers," he
promised to give his printing to the pub
fishers Of the organ Of that party.
An amalgamation ticket was gotten up by
a few of the leaders of the '.iree soil''
movement, some abolitionists, and sundrv
locos. for the sake Of obtaining the con-
troll of some of the offices. The honest
and true friends of free soil knew nothing
of the movement by which all this ANAL
garlas;on took place; and had they known
it, as they now know it, they would not
have given it countenance for one moment.
We have never been able to endorse the
sentiment that "all is fair in politics.
and if party who claim to be more pure
than all others. practice upon ii SO early in
their organization, we shall be compelled
TO doubt their claims to extreme purity.

The Mistaken Party opposed to the Country,s
PROGRESS.

When Mr.. Jefferson, in the year 1so3 by peaceful me-
gotation, in the midst of the efforts of bitter federal
opposition then to entangle him war; procured the title
to the whole of the country Of the Mississippi and all
that part OF the east side including the great city of New
Orleans and much of the present States of Louisiana
Mississippi, and Alabama, with the command of the en-
tire navigation of the Mississippi the father of wa,ers
when he had accomplished this great and mighty work
so necessary the country and so beneficial to the trade
and commerce of the whole Union the ederasts of that
day declared the whole country to be without value
there was as they then sad nothing of the country and
what there might be by possibility, was only sunken
swarnps inhabited by "honed frogs and prairie dogs.
The wise opposition in the Senate of the United States
now that the CALIFORNIA; and New Mexico have been
conquered by the American arms say there no land or
country there which be of any possible value to the
present generation to posterty-no domain that can
ever be object of settlement purchase or whose
trade can be of value the American enterprise
which spreads civilization and draws wealth from every
country IT has yet touched AS widely mistaken now are
the ederasts they were in their predictions of the
Louisiana purchase forty five years ago
