From the Columbus (oho) Statesman.
The Charge OF federalism against Gen. Cass while
Ohio Withdrawn and Transferred to another State,
&C., SC.
The charge has been rung throughout the length and
breadth of the land that Gen Cass while resident of
Muskngum county, in this State, federaist and
acted and voted with the federal party. Among others
who preferred this charge, the GAINESVILLE Courier
AS that paper printed in the county where the acts
which Identified Gen Cass with the federal party were
said to have been committed challenged The truth of
the charge and referred gentlemen still living Musk
ingum county, whose democracy questioned,
who knew Gen. Cass well, and who voted for fm the
democratic candidate for seat in the legislature of Ohio
as proof of the alsty of the charge The Courier
admits the CHARGE far it relates to Muskingum
county, to be false by saying that Gen Cass eder
alist tchen he psa the State Of Deauare and before
By biographical sketch, published in our paper of
yesterday, will be that Lewis Cass emigrated to
Ohio when but seventeen years Of agefour years before
he voter-four years before, in law, he was DEEM
ed to have arrived at the years OF dscreton-and four
years before he could in law, transact business for him
self, without his fathers consent Even, then, if the
charge be true that General Cass at one time was fede
ralist, was when he minor living in the family
Of his father, who, TO the day of his death, continued
high minded though bitter federais and was proud of
the OF all the family, Lewis Cass alone broke
from federal leading strings; and his in Ohio and
in Michigan, before the time he became voter to the
present day. has been that of democrat OF the strales
Hard rum indeed, must whgery be- when it is forced
to go back for near half century for the purpose OF
dence) to prove that when boy, scarce in his teens
Lewis Cass held to the principles of his fathers family
The charge, however, is not sustained BY proof The
name OF the State only Is gven-no other time, place or
circumstance is named to give it orce and upon this
reckless assertion, whgery hopes to work an injury to
who tor the last toysx years. has been known to
the people OF Ohio democrat staunch and true.
Although, in law, 1t is principles that negative con-
not be proven; yet in this case, II can almost be done
Mr. Jefferson appointed his political enemies to
high office yet we find that the first government office
that Gen. Cass received Chat of marshal of Ohio) came
from Mr.. Jefferson.
The last with England drew the line between the
federal and democratic parties strongly and as broadly
as the present with Mexico draws it General
Cass then marshal OF the State. The office was
lucrative one, yet he promptly resigned It, Tor the pur-
pose of volunteering his services defend his country
How he performed his part the history OF the country
furnishes abundant evidence.
In the political campaign of 1928, OF the severest
charges made against General Jackson, save those of
murder, &C., &C., preferred in the Infamous coffin hand
bill, that he too tederatit This charge was
denied and proven false; and in the discussion which
ensued, the charge of federalism planted so firmly
upon the party that call themselves wings that, in
spite of all their efforts to shake it off it still remains
and will remain, until, with name they adopt new
principles
The same game tried in 1928 with Andrew Jackson
the same party attempt to play Oft against Lewis
Cass Both charges alse and the result IN each
case will be the same
The father of Gen Cass was federalistthe brothers
of Gen Cass still hold the doctrines of their father
Upon this foundation the charge of federalism is made
on the democratic candidate To the day of his DEATH
Major Jonathan Cass the father of the democratic nom
nee true to his federal principles, acted and voted with
the party calling themselves wings; and since his
death the brothers of Lewis Cass have been bold prom
nent, and influential wings; and late number OF the
GAINESVILLE Courier makes open boast that they VIII mol
vote for Lewis Cass for President. ~,
Does not the Courier that this boast plants FEDERAL
ism upon its own party? For If Lewis Cass entertained
