sir. Turning 10 Mr.. Dallas wha occupied
The chsir) as The Chairman nf The tom
miiiee Who reported and ably advocated
the Bill; and ! voted with you, against
the veto!
On the question of internal Improve
menIs. he was asked what Gen. Tsylor
would do. Ills course was plain. lie
referred il, sssin olheI. esses. 10 The will
Of The people. lf their representatives
passed law. he wsuld not veto il. How
was Mr.. Cas-! Al Baltimore, a resolu-
lion was adopted in favor Of The Veto pow
rr. particularly referring 10 This matter Of
Internal Improvement. Mr.. Yancey's
speech in The Convention was here quo
ted 10 show that resolution passed one
night. was altered The next morning, 50 rs
not 10 put The Veto Of The President and
the vote Of the candidate against il, in
conflict with each other.
Allhis point an interruption took place,
in The course Of which MIR. Fouie declared
that Mr.. Cass was opposed tn system
Of Internal Improvements, and would veto
such bill; while Mr.. Breese. of the same
party. derlared he was in favor OF Internal
Improvements. and If he did not think SO
he would moi vote for him |!
Mr. Clayton resumed. II was bard 10
find oul what really were the views Of
Mr.. Cass. lie had voted for Internal I'M
provements and against all yei"es. There
was a justification, end. evidently, doc
lrine lnr the North and \ doctrine for the
South. Recently called upon by some oil
his political friends. at Cleveland, for his
opinions on this subject, what was Mr..
Cass's answer! That the "noise and
confusion" were so great he could not be
heard; though he found opportunity and
audience for detail OF his history in con
nexion with the West. He expected thai
Z" noise and confusion" would continue "a
the end of the campaign. Nobody de-
MED that Mr.. Cas- cordially approved The
Baltimore platform. One Of tho resola-
tions denied the right Of Government Il
make Internal Improvements and by hi:
letter of acceptance, Mr.. Cass stood bound
10 veto any such bill.
7 He had been asked what were General
Taylor's sentiments on the Mexican war.
He had answered for himself. He was
opposed TO acquisition Of territory by con
quest-.in favor Of peace and against war
II was complained that the Wing party
had erected no platforms. What are these
platforms! What did you do in 1874
A resolution was passed asserting the A.
merican title in Oregon 10 81 40 TO be
"clear and unquestionable." For sis
months il was agilated in Congress-lht
country was alarmed-our commercial in
,ercourse was dislurbcd-and your Presi
dent, who affirmed over and over again
the doctrine of the platform in his MESA
ges, abandoned The whole territory dowl
10 40, and adopted the British line. Ther
was another plaiiorm-lhe Kane letter
r The Democrats of the North believed Mr.
) Polk To be in favor OF the protective poll
r cy. They were told 50 by their leaders
Their banners bore The inscription of Polk
r Dallas. and the Tariff of AZ. They call
ed it the Democratic Tariff, and claimed
the exclusive merit Of the bill, and they
succeeded in deceiving The honest people
of Pennsylvania by that unworthy fraud
i lord deliver US from any more platforms
! He wanted an honest man, like Taylor
for President, who would restore the gov
a eminent to its anciepl integrity,
There was one other subject to whic|
e he had no, referred-,he Wilmot proviso
, He had no other information of the part
e cular views of Gen. Taylor on that sub
}. ject, than was common TO the country
: Though he aud his colleague, had vote
r for il under the instruction Of their Legs
e lature, they would never join sections
!. or geographical party. Delaware ha
|. been the first to adopt the constitution
|. and she would be The last to desert 1t. ii
d though, slavery should moi go where
# had never existed. and denied that 1t Wa
g a party or political question. Wheneve
i. the Wings would descend so low as to :
e dop, il for such an end. they would Justl
IS forfeit the respect Of the country. II wa
lie apart from politics and so ought to be Y
n gar,ied. So dear was the Union to hin
