Gen. Cass and Annexation.

We publish in another column the let ter of Mir. Cass to Judge Colquitt, of Ga., upon the question of the annexation of Texas. We do this to show to Southern men that Gen. Cass was then, as he ever has been, friend to the South as well as the North. One of his leadidg reasons for annexation was, that it would act as a guard to the interests of the Southern slave States. It is surprising, in the very face of this letter, to see pettifoging whig poli- ticians travelling the country, pleading up no.partyism for Gen. Taylor, and charg- ing Gen. Cass and those who support him with abolitionism. See what base strat- agems fallen whiggery has resorted to l
 The charge of aboitionism comes with bad grace fom men who are whigs and raised in the North-where their asso- ciates were infected with abolitionism --against men, too, who have been raised and nurtured in southern cline, and who aic individually interested in slave proper ty. Let the Demagogucs of the North, who arc among us, rave as they may against Gen. Cass, the sober, sedate dem- ocrats of our country will be the fi,mer in his support.

Ir The great theme dwelt upon by the Whig speakers and Press in favor of old Zack, is that he is decidedly a peace man, and that against Gen. Cass is that he isa war man, ana should he become President every opportunity that was giv- en, our country would be in danger of be- ing plunged into bloody war. We'll let us look to the foundation and correctness of this assertion of these war fearing mo- party party speakers. Gen. Taylor has during his entire life been engaged in a military life, that is, since he was old enough never in his life occupying q station in civil life, and from these association these old worn out party politicians busc their assertion.. Docs this look much like a peace man, we would ask every rational man? What induces Gen. Taylor to lead a military life in preference to that of a civil ! Could it be any thing than a preference of his ownl We think not.
 r.'hile on the other hand Gen. Cass compelled, in his early liio to go to battle for the rights of his country, lead milt-- ry life, not from preference but from ne- ccssity. For after many years service to his country as military man, we see him occupying the most prominent civil office in the government, and now we witness him, placed in a position fo- the sufragcs of the American people for the greatest of flee in their gift. Does these circumstan- ces tend much to prove these assertions of the Whig party? Taking man from the fields of blood and human gore, go much to prove him peace man? This poor attempt of the whigs to make Gen. Tay- Tor out fit man for the Presidency, is ra- ther a poor hobby, and to which the whole of Gen. Taylor's life will stamp as being false. .
