Has often healed heart all broken,
And made friend sincere.

Full many budding flower,

Mould bless life's darkest hour.
Then ,leem il not an lille thing,
ia pleasant word to speak:
The face you wear the thought YOU bring
"a heart may heal or break.

A PORTRAIT OF GFN. CAss.-The Hon. A.

graphic portrait of Gen. Cass:
"Who is General Cass? He has been ON all

democrat lie was for the provso, but now
against 1t; for protective tariff, against it; for
internal improvements, against them. The Bal.
tnnore Conversion says oil these things are I'm
constitutional, and Gen. Cass responds. There
Is no consistency about him--he is vacillarng
he Is weathercock. What kind OF man have
We! Did he ever change his principles? No
The principles of the Allison letter will stand
the lest; his principles are firm and fixed. Mr.
Stewart then branched off to another question
lie accused Gen. Cnss of having voted IN the
Senate TO take away one third of the co npensa.
ton OF the volunteers for clothing, aud also re
ferred to the time when Gen. Csss was Govern.
or OF Michigan, and to his having demanded and
received pay four times, instead of once, for ex.
ira services. In conclusion, Mr.. Stewart fred

ally concur in the propricty of the suggestion of
the Committee, that the Convention be compos-
ed of Delegates, especially elected by the Wing
Freemen Cf the several towns in the State, to
perform the important duties committed to them,
and trust their recommendation will meet with
universal approval and acqucscence. II appears
to US to be by far the most certain and satstacto-
ry, as it is the most dignfed, method of arriving
at the popular choice in the nomination to be
made. We hope, therefore, that the Wing Town
Committees throughout the State will promptly
second the proposition of the State Committee,
and call meetings for the appointment of DELE

ton OF the Chairman Of our own Committee is
respectfully invited to this duty.-Free Press.
