As woman is placed in our present soa

GEN. CAss AND THE pnEsIDEN,

GEN. CASS AND THE PEESIDEN.
CY. ia Taylor Wing whum you have
heretofore heard speaking against the war
aud all who fought lis battles, asks you
why you intend voting for Gen. Cass, give
him the following answers:-
FirsiIg.--l will vote for Cass, because he
drangh,ed the law under which Aaron
Burr was tried for reason TO his country
Secondly because Thomas Jefferson,
The great democratic apostle, upwards of for
" years ago had confidence sufi cient in
Lewis Cass to make him marshal of the
then territory of Ohio.
Thirdty because Lewis Cass, in the
lastwar with our impiicabls enemy. Great
'Briiian, was the first man who entered
Cauadsi aud had his wise counsels been
adopted, the British provinces .ght now
form an integral part of our glorious cou
federation.
Fourihly-Because Lewis Cass has
proved himself an able negotiator, mas
much as he completed twenty one rea,
ties with the Indians, none of which has
ever been disputed by that wild, wander
ing and indumitab!e race.
FUhy because tina, great and good
| patriot Andrew jackson, initiating his u.
lustrlons prototype, called Lewis Case 10
his councils, BY making him Secretary of
| War.
Sinthly Because Levin Cass, when our
minister to France, Gircnmveuted and an
INFLATED the wiies and schemes OF our IN
veterate foe when the en,ntiple alliances
were formed under the influence of Great
Brltian, which would have left our ship
plug al the mercy OF English cruisers, and
would nave deprived US OF our rights IL
the highway of nations.
| Seventhiy because Lewis Cass, in 'he
celebrated dlscnsslun on the Oregon qucs
ton, boldly, tearlessiy. and honestl, ad'
vocaled our right oil territory up TO 54 Az
nutwi hstandsng the Intimidation OF the
emssaries OF England.
Eighthly,- Because Lewis Cass is the
canluate ot that party winch has always
been the consistent advocate of hninat
rights, Of treedom Of opinion, and OF liber'
" OF cousctence.
| Niathiy.-Because that party has guar
anued ,oadup, ed cltiZens the aame rights

and does 10 cl,lzens of native births ant
because il scattered to the four winds o

BUTLER AND MONTEREY.
BY F. A. Dt RIvAGE.

The trump of war hath hushed it's note,
Mute is the dreadful cannon's throat,
No more, where hostile banners float,
Our batteries play;
Yet memory paints those scenes again,
The deadly strife Of desperate men,
The shouts that rent the wekn, when
Our Butler charged at Monterey.
Huzza huzza for freedoms right,
For freedoms might that won the day.
For freedoms sons that faced the guns
When Butler charged at Monterey.
All! fierce the conflict IN that hour,
Incess ant fell the laden sho.er,
But not man was seen to COVER
On that even,ful day;
And through the streets with life-olood wet,
Where many heart its death doom met,
Swept on tie northern bayonet,
By Butler led at Monterey.
Huzza! huzza! for freedoms right
And freedoms might that won the day,
freedoms sons that faced the guns,
When Butler charged at Monterey.
With shining laurels on his brow,
Acheved-ask every soldier how
The chief returns in triumph now,
From toll and battle fray;
His sword has found welcome sheath
His footsteps seek his native heath,
And wen bestow civic wreath
On him who charged at Monterey.
Huzza! huzzah! for freedoms right,
For freedoms might that won the day,
For freedoms sons that faced the guns,
When Butler charged at Monterey.
With Cass and Butler, true and tried,
The ship of State will bravely ride
In triumph o er the buoyant tide,
For many glorious day,
And they'll uphold the stripes and stars
The gallant heroes Of two wars
He who sustained our noble tars,
And. he who fought at Monterey.
For Cass and Butler raise the shout,
In freedoms 6ght who led the way,
For freedoms sons who faced the gunss
When Butler charged at Monterey!
