CITY OF EVANS VILE:
WEDNESDAY MORNING JUNE Z.

GEN. CAss A FEpERALIsT-Abouta month
timore Convention, we stated that Gen. Cass
was an old Federslist and wore the black cock
ade. We did not make the assertion at ran
dom, as is the practice of the locofocos, but
from knowledge of the fact acquired when
we were boy in the RI publican office at Nash
vile, Tennessee, during the days of the Jack
son dynasty. The charge was then made
against Gen. Cass and the evidence sustaining
it was produced. which silenced the few friends
Gen. Cass had in that State at the time. Our
neighbor of the Democrat, however, who hates
PcderaliSts as he does the cloven footed imp
himself, denied-no he didn't deny that we
stated the fact-but he laughed at it, as much
as to say-prove it if you can. Well, sure
enough the proof is at hand, oceans oft, and
now we expect TO see our neighbor turn upon
poor Cass with all the spitefulness of his ma
ture. 1t Vas a shabby trick in the Baltimore
convention TO nominate an old black cockade
Fedcrolist as the DEMOCRATIC candidate for the
Presidency, and our neighbor wont stand it of
course. he support federalist indeedl But
the proof, or rather part of it.
The forty -sevenihvolume Nles's Register
Is speaking of Gen. Cass, says:
But the fact is that when his father Major
Cass, a gallant officer Of the revolution and an
accomplished officer of the Oh, school, superin-
tended the recruiting in Delaware in 1899
$500, for what was called the provision-eating
army, he 1.-THE present Gen. Cass) was the pre-
ceptor of the grammar school in Wilmington
and always appeared with black cockade in
his bat, and so we see il stated in the Della
ware yossnal as being in the present recollec-
ton Of many of the citizens of Wilmington.
There! As the Louisville Journal says, NOR,
seminently respectable paper than Niless Reg
lister was never published in this or any othe
country. Whatit states as truth is always full
~ relied on as truth. What has the Demo
crat to say to the above? A mere suspicion o
Wing being tainted with federalism is sui
ficient to stir up the blacklist bile in our neigh
Dor, what then viii be the consequences t
Jim of this expose of his candidates forme
principle and associations? We shall see.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT Life is besuii-

Frail and thuugh,less mortals are surround

much more strange they escape so long,
than they all perish suddenly at last. We
are surrounded by accidents every day, TO

decay; the soul that animaies il by yivifying
fire, tends 10 wear il out by its own action

outstanding this is the ruth, so bly,
confirmed by The daily examples before our

LIEUT.. DEAs.-Every body will remember
Lieut.. Deas, who, at the commencement ofthe
Mexican war, swan the Rio Grande, Leander
like, to meet Mexican maid, and was taken
prisoner. Since that time, Lit. Deas has been
actively engaged in the service; and for his
gallant conduct at Monterey was promoted to
the captaincy of the -4th artillery. But il ap-
pears from some cause or other, that he has got
into more trouble with that strict discipline
rian Gen. Wool, and has been court martial
ed and sentenced to be dismissed the service
which sentence was approved by Gen. Wool,
at Monterey. He is now on his way home, to
await the issue of an application to the Exec
utive in his behalf by many infential personal
friends in the army and elsewhere.

GEs. TAYLOR IN TESsE.sEE-Doubts hav-
ing been expressed whether Tennessee would
vote for Taylor in the Wing National Conven-
lion, the Nashville Wing deyotes an article to
the consideration of the individual preferences
of every delegate. As far as heard from, eleven
districts have appointed delegates; three.fourths
have instructed their representativesto sustain
Gen. Taylor, and the remainder have selected
gentlemen who are known TO be in favor of
the nomination of Old Rough and Ready. The
only Clay Wing appointed is Gov Jones, in the
7thdistrict, and his vote will be controlled by
Messrs Bell & Gentry, his associates who IRE
ardent Taylor men.
In respect TO the vote of Tennessee, the
Memphis Enquirer of the Goth, says:
Tennessee is generally set down as doubtful
and we think correctly, because we do not yet
know the leader under whom the great battle
is TO be fought. If Clay be the nominee. or
Mclean, or Scott, then we look upon the re-
suit of the approaching Presidential election in
this state as extremely doubtful. But if Zach
AIRY Taylor be the nominee, or apparently the
choice Of the American people, and if he con-
tinue a candidate, then the result of the cleo
ton in Tennessee is as certain, as fired as fat
itself. Taylor can carry this State against all
odds, unless feuds aud the most besotted folly
reign in the Wing ranks. Ii is unnecessary to
suite the premises upon which we build the
foregoing conclusions--they are apparent 10
every candid man.

New GARRI4GEs, Worcester. Mass. J
Telegraph says shat Mr. Isaac Woodcock OF
that place, has made amost mportant improve
ment in a two wheel carriage as regards both
ease in riding and beauty in appearance. The
advantage which il possesses over common
built carriage consists in the compact combina-
ton Of chaise or buggy body. with an axle
pair of shafts, half elliptic springs, so arranged
that the entire weight of the body and its load
is suspended to the axle, neither resting upon
or fatiguing the horse, and so also that the mo
ton of the body of the vehicle is kept perfect
ly steady, and is prevented from violent jerks
or vibrations, however rough or uneven the
the road may BE- 1t is also constructed so as &c
