ject in his most earnest and effective Manner
The country, he said, supposed they had been

Treaty ceased, ere w were summoned TO raise
thirty new regiments for the further prosecution
Of the War, to carry it into the vital parts OF the
enemy's country, to press home upon Mexico
with fire and sword the claims We insist upon in
this treaty Of ignoblc peace.
Mr. Webster alluded to the irregular circum-
stances attending the procurement of Peace
In this instance the usual order has been revers-
ed. We have ratified n Treaty first, and now

lie was opposed to the acquisition of territory,
and opposed to the prosecution of the War for
any such object. lie supposed he should be
called a "Mexican Whig.s ] do not know il
this country is like the Mexican's, but the great
est Mexican Senator is the gentleman from
Michigan.
Mr. Cas- asked why.
Mr. Webster replied, because he had afforded
'aid and comfort" to the enemy by saying that
the object of the Army bill was only to Brighten,
not to harm, the Mcxicans. The real, great OBJ
ject of these thirty new regiments, is patronage
/ hope they will never pass, and that the seek
ers for commissions will return to their homes in
good health, where kind friends will be rejoiced
to sec them.
MIR Webster said hc wanted no more territory
added to the Union, North, South, East, OF
West. j believe the people want no more terri

A Black C0ckade Federallst


Not being able to find any serious charge against the
public private character of Gen. Cass the wing editors
and orators assert that he ederalst days long
past and wore black cockade. We are assured BY
gentlemen acquainted with Gen. Cass from his boyhood
the present me that there is no truth in the report
eat democrat and never black cockade. But were
true that he started federalst at time when three
fourhs OF all the voters in the Union of that party
1T would be objection to him now, for the federass
high minded and honorable party in the main, and
would probably have maintained their ascendency 10
the present time had it not been for the conduct of their
leaders, under the elder Adams, in passing the alien and
sedition laws. AS to wearing the black cockade it was
at the time was worn, part OF the national uniform
and ndiferenty by all military and many 9TH
ers, whether democrats federasts No disgrace could
attach to the wearing it, was the badge of patriot
ism 1t was worn by the father of Gen Cass, who was
officer in the army, and resided in this city with his
son Lewis-a boy of seventeenth the year 1899 Some
years after this PERIOD the federal party was beaten by
Thomas Jefferson and Gen Cass, then of age, and resi-
dent OF Ohio OF his supporters, and from him
received his first appointment to Office Upon the
tendency of the democratic party, the uniform of the
my changed and the black cockade longer FORM
ed part of it and this is the reason, suppose
why the uniformed associate the idea of federalism with
the black cockade.
The following letter, from Gen Cass himself, is sui-
cient refutation of the calumny:
