asm by the democratic party. hut more
particularly by the democracy ofIhe West.
We rejoice that the National invention
has presented to the democratic party. for
The high Offices of President and Vice
President, with such unanimi'y, two Of
our most distinguished statesmen. We
now enter into the contest with the most
sanguiDe assurance Of success. The high
moral worth Of our candidates, and their
firm adherence to The known principles Of
the democratic party, will defer the wings
from usi' & their motto, fmpn not prime,
pies. in the coming campaign. No can
tiidAtes could have been brought forward
who would have been as acce ptable TO ali
sections Of our extended Union, as those.
With such standard bearers, victory will
tie ours; and our principles will be eslab.
Iished upon firm basis, and ihe perma-
nency Of our political institutions, and the
prosperity Of Il e Republic ensured.

man and brave soldier. Gen. Cass,
however, is not unknown 10 the American
people. Fer forty years he has been
c"nnec'ed with public lie, and in the ser
vice OF his country. His un shrinking pat
riotism, and his intellectual powers, have
been Witnessed by the whole country
Ills services 10 his country on foreign
missions and in the U. 8. Senate, are
fresh in pub ic recollection. Gen. Cass
may he regarded as empha,icAlly the
champion fthe democratic part and the
present administration. In the Yves: the
mention of his name creates more en,hu
siasm than could be produced upon any
nnher name. He was e nphaIically the
man 10 select, as his name in itself, is a
tower of strength. The wings may ap-
pear to be pleased silh the selection, but
defeat is so deeply depicted in their coun
'enances, ''hide it as they will, that it is
plainly TO be discovered.
The nominee Tor Vice President is,
also, we'll known to the people oflhis Tn

him fit associate for Gen. Cass. The
democracy recognize in Gen. Butler, the
accomplished statesman and gallant sol.

With "Cass & Butler" inscribed upon
our banner, we are proud ofou position,
and certain of victory. Though some
