What do the Wings Pregoses

We defy any man to answer this ques-
ton. Search the whig papers, and not a
line will be found which would indicate
any policy proposed to be carried OUT
They put forth no declaration at Phila.
delphia, nor have they at any gathering
or convention since the nomination.
They do not tell their supporters whether
or not they are opposed to the measures
which the democracy have adopted. They
do not and dare not, tell US whether or
not they are opposed to the Sub-Treasury
system, the tariff of 1916, or any other OF
the measures which are now in full force.
They do not, and dare not, tell us wheth.
er or not they are opposed to United
States Bank. They do not, and dare not,
tell US whether or not they advocate the
distribution scheme. In short they do
not, and dare not, tell US what they pro.
pose to do, or what they propose not to do.
They go for Gen. Taylor as they went
for John Tyler. Gen. Taylor consents
to run as the candidate of The wings or
any body else, as John Tyler consented
to without pledges, and without an
avowal of principle. The history of John
Tyler is known-the history of Gen.
Taylor is yet to be written. If elected, of
which we have no fears,it will be written
by his own supporters.
We mention these things that the
honest wings my consider and blame
themselves and'not Gen. Taylor, If any
disappointment should follow their action
on the 7th day Of November, and in hopes
that we may elicit something from tho
opponents of Gen. Taylor's claims(?) by
which we may know what they propose
doing. Detroit Free Press.

GEN. LEWIS CAss, is prominent can,

held in the city of Baltimore, and has
consented to run fer that Office. II is not
known we believe, that he adopted any
disreputable or unmanly act to obtain the
nomination. AS soon as it was awarded,
he retired from the Senate. returned 10
the bosom of his family, in Detroit, and
there he waits the decision of his coun.
trymen. He has not invaded the rights
OF any party: but has simply consented
to become the President Of the United
States if the people shall think fit to elect
him. ''
Prior to his acceptance Of the n6mina-
tion--with the exception of the abuse that
was heaped upon him because Of The po-
sition he assumed in reference to the Or
egon question, and the Mexican war-he
was not assaulted or abused by any one.
On the contrary, he was favorite with
almost all parties; go highly esteemed
was he. when he was IN the Cabinet of
Gen. Jackson, that he was regarded by
the then opposition, as q minister who
actually relieved the Administration from
a portion of their hatred. He was euios
gised by the opposition Of those tImesi
and by the New York Courier and Inqui,
rer, and several other influential papers,
was deemed the best man the opposition
could select as its candidate for the Pres.
idency. -.. .5 a...f -lss
Gen. CAss has already passed through

wards; and never, during that long peri.
cd, with but single exception, has his
good name been assaulted. In the year
1888, soon after the defalcation Of Swart-
won't, and others, it was charged that he
too was defaulter, to the amount of eight
hundred thousand dollars. He was in
France at the time and of course. had no
means of defending himself And, ere
be could have made defeuce from the
other side of the ocean, the infamous story
of his defaleation had refuied itself, and
left It's calumnloos authors to blush fog
their own falsehood and infamy. a-E0.a

and from manhood to old age, and yoll

: LDaniel Webster thinks Gen. Cass
dangerous man; says he was in favor of
all Of Oregon, of the Mexican war of the
accession Of Territory. That is to say,
Gen. Cass has been always on the side
of his country, while his accuser has al
ways, in all questions with foreign ma.
lions, been against il. Very different
men too. The one as Secretary Of State,
negotiated the Ashburton treaty; the 9th.
er. as Foreign minister, commended for
his country's ''Sailor's Rights" There
is striking contrast in the history ofthese
two negotiations. BY the way, it occurs
TO US, that this same Mr.. Webster, thought
Mr.. Madison dangerous man, when he
went for declaration of war against
England, in 1879. He thought General
Jackson dangerous man, and MIR. Polk
too. Il is conceded that Mr.. Webster is
very good orator, and an epicure so far
as chowder is concerned. but he ought to
have learned by this time that large
majority Of his fellow citizens have long
ago roted him very poor judge as to
who would be dangerous Presidents ,and
who would not.--Miaga,q Democrat.
