"lhe Nomination. Of Lewis Cass by the De-
mocracy Of the Union was made with their
eyes open 70 his freely and frankly declared
sentiments upon this question. His Nicholson
letter had been for months before lie ueonlc
criticised by friend and foe, In that letter
were the following candid, liberal declarations Il:
\ WE may we'll regret the existence Of slavery
H lhe southern states, and wish they had been
saved from its Introduction. 4 u

any jurisdiction PA corgSsss on this matter

stitution.'
"He quotes Pplaudingly, the following pas
sag" from Robert }. Walkers annexation lei.
ter of AZ:
"'Begond the Del Nortc,' says Mr.. Walker,
Slavery will not pass not only bccauee it is
forbidden by law, but because the coIored
race there preponderates, in the ratio of ten to
one over the whites; and holding, as they do
the government, and most Of the Offices in
their possession, they will not permit the en-
slavement Of any portion Of the colored race,
which makes and executes the laws of the
country"
" Then Gen. Cass concludes with this sonti-
ment:
"Leavo to the people, who win be affected
by this question, to adjust it upon their own
responsibility, and in their own manner, and
shall render another tribute to the original
principles Of our government, and furnish
guaranty for its permOnence and pros
perity
Here then is the position of the Democra-
cy as stated by their candida ETA safe, honor
republican position-the position of the
patriot and the statesman, that has the per-
manence and prosperity of the Union at
heart.
" But, how have the Wing party met the
question? Asa party they have nat met it al
They have blinked it utterly They

IS their candidate. They know not his feel
ngs or views upon the question-and arc
lfraid TO commit him by any declaration over
W signature upon It. They fellowship
iozingly-his supporters North and South;
he fanatic abolitionists Of the one, and the
slave propagundlst Of the other, each
most zealously to keep him u%ncommit-
ed. {
"We have no fears for the result. We do
OF believe the trickery or The malice Of polite
al demagogues will befog quite the common !
