To his Excellency LEWIS CAss
Here will be found The names OF many Of the

their literary atainmenls and their talents as
merchants.
They we'll knew the bencf! General Cas- had
conferred upon his country by his successful c.
iorls 10 defca, the Quintupe Treaty, and ihey de-
sired an opportunity 10 honor him Tor such glori.
Gus conduct One unacquainled With The pow
ers of the Wing press for dstrac.ion and abuse OF
leading and prominent Democrats, when they arc
supposed TO Stand in the way Of the spois hating
Wing leaders but who had seen the spirit of The
Wing press towards General Cass on his return
from France, would, on reading The Wing parry
papers al this time, be prompted TO ask il ne had
not, since 1912, commted numerous acts Of the
most shameful and dissraceful characte.7
The reply would be "No-and so far from IL
his character in every point OF view, since that
time, has been OF the most manly, honorable and
patriotic order"
The blush OF shame would rise TO The cheek,
and the quivering lip OF scorn would show The
feelings OF one who knew lhe unblemished cha.
racter OF Gen. Cass In 1919, on learning that he
has maintained that character up 10 this time
and yet he jackaIls OF the Wing party would, il
in their power, destroy the good name OF STATES

tues, to enable them TO reach The SPOTS of office.
We have not seen Mr.. Van Buren's Reply 10
the committee of the Buffalo Convention; but,
as The Union states, the New York Evening Post
saws that while be "maintains his former posi-.
ton as an involuntary candidate, he assents 70
the nomination and the platform of the Conven
,ion." That platform is based upon rank aeo.
lition, and clearly indicates that one of the
great objects of the fanatical movement is the
abolition of slavery in the District of Colum
bia: and the Post adds ''if Congress shall now
pass law abolishing Slavery in the District,
and Mr.. Van Buren, be the President, he w'H
gios it his approval" What gross inconsistency,
what shameless apostacy are here exhibited
In 1885 he declared that he "must 60 into the

salmon Fishing.

"Salmon fishing, or that kind Of fishing
requiring most arr, may be said to charac-
terise man in his highest or intellectual state;
and the fisher for salmon and trout with
the fly employs not only machinery to assist
his physical powers, but applies sagacity
to conquer difficulties; and the pleasure de-
rived from ingenious resources and devices,
us well as from active pursuit, belongs to
this amusement. Then as TO its philosoph-
ical tendency, il is a pursuit of moral dis
cipline, requiring patience, forbearance, and
command of temper. As connected with
natural science, il may be vaunted as de-
manding knowledge of the habits of a con-
siderable tribe Of created beings---fishes, and
the animals theyprey upon, and an acquain-
lance with the signs and tokens of the wealth.
er and its clanges, the nature Of water, and
Of the atmosphere. As to its poetcal rela-
tons, IL carries us into the most wild and
beautiful scenery of nature; amongst the
mountain lakes, and the clear and lovely
streams that gush from amongst the higher
ranges of the hills.
{" How delightful in the early spring, af-
ter the dull and tedious time Of winter, when
the frosts disappear and the sunshine warns
the earth and waters, to wander forth by
some clear stream, TO see the leaf bursting
from the purple bud, TO scent the odors of
the bank peifumed by the violet, and enam-
elled, as il were, with the primrose and the
daisy; TO wander upon the fresh turf below
the shade Of trees, whose bright blossoms
are filled with the music Of the bee; and on
the surface of the water to view the gaudy
flies sparkling like animated gems in the
sunbeams, whilst the bright and beautiful
trout and salmon are watching them from
below. Sir Humphrey Dairy.

Religious Rcyiyals.

The religious papers from the different
sections of our widely extended country,
continue to mention the existence Of unusu-
al religious interest IN their vicinity. In
Plymouth, n. II. there is said TO be an I'M
usual degree Of religious feeling peryading
one neighborhood In pittsford, and in
two churches in Windsor county, W. there
is also said to exist an unusual degree of
religious feeling. ia West Bradford, Mass.
there has existed strong religions interest
for several months past. In Ridgefeld, CT.
a somewhat extensive revival has been in
progress for three months. A revival is re-
ported as in progress at Pickering, Canada
West, among the Baptists; and among the
Methodists in Cayuga District, N. y. We
have reports also Of the existence of unusu-
al religious interest in Iowa, Wisconsin, IL
linois, Tennessee, Indiana, aud Mississippi.
Indeed, from nearly every section of the
country we are receiving limitations Of the
existence, here and there, Of special reli-
gious interest at the present time; and this,
not confined to any particular sect or de-
nomination; aud as would appear, not gem
orally the result of any special exertlons,
but Of the blessing of Heaven on the ordi-
