As yet, we have scarcely preceived
single evidence Of disposition to revive
the yuigeF slang and reckless abuse
which have too often characterized our
election contests. We feel assured that
whenever this example is once sci, it will
be generally followed. and that the dem.
oerats will vie with their brother wings,
in making this contest an era of good
feeling. Let the battle be upon the le-
gitimate grounds of facts, principles, and
by fair discussion and truthful pnblica-
lions. What shall we say to the candL
dates whom the democrats have presents
ed to the people! What shall we say,
that will not excite he'jealousy of our
party cotemporaries, who scan so close.

Both IN war and in peace have they serv-

rare that two candidates are presented to-
the people, who combine in SO much mil.

Cass and Butler. There are truly great,

Lewis Cas- is conspicuously identified
with the rise and progress Of the. mighty
empire, which has risen ia a few years
along the Ohio and the great lakes. He
was one of the foremost of those hardy
pioneers who first awoke the eehoes of
that vast wilderness, which the mighty
wand of republican energy has Unless than
a half century converted into boundlesS

A glorious character is that OF the pio,
neer ofthe west--a character eminehtfy
adapted to fill with credit the high Offices
ofthe republic. General Cass has grown
up with the west; he has shared all its
incidents and perils. In the late waf,he
bore distinguished part, and ever dis.
played commendable activity and PAT,
riotism. In political offices, of which he
has held not few, he has always maui.
tested great moderation, industry, fidelity
and integrity. Amid his pressing public
duties, he has not failed to cultivate q
taste for science end literature, and has
infused his political sentiments, with q
strong hue of philosophic reading and
thought. I'D laa sod sf go
General William o. Butler, the cam
idate forthe Vice Presidency, is one of
the family of heroes, whose names and
deeds shine conspicuously on nearly
every page of our history, from its early
colonial struggles down to the war which
Is just now expiring. His valor, has been
tried and hardened in the perilous scenes
Of savage warfare, and in the stern trials
Of the pioneers life. In all stations Ia
has proved q gallant officer, faithful
patriot, and useful citizen. His person
and presence are full of that impressive
dignity which marked the greatness of
Andrew Jackson, and fixed upon him the
involuntary awe and admiration Of all
observers. 1la tsl asa.-a
