The Senator from Mississippi has dawn
q strong and Tisid picture Of tie eminsH,
abilities, the large aIlainmenls, and lle
thorough accomplishments Of Gen. Cass
in al things per,sining 10 public sHairs--
Of his sleadiness. his perseverance. his

Of every ari, sentiment, principle. or in

dicaies that General Cass may be regarded
as carrying bis heart in his hand, and
opening 10 The public gaze The deep, dark,
and mysterious reeesses Of ilia, most
mysterious Of all created things. This
picture is presented in contrast with that

said, is. thai General Taylor is an igno-

withholding them. and taking the beneG,
