Whigs Ia the whole Union. we can't help sos
peciine that his own estimate Of his merits and
capacities differed somewhat from that Of the
elders Of the Loco Foco Synagogue at Washing

hitherto disported. He came home Loco Foco,
and as there wasn't room for him in Congress, he

this capacity his old oath against Gen. Cas- rises
up % confront him, and be consumes two and
half columns of Tile Union in showing why his ah
davit Of 1896 should neither weigh against Gen.
Cas- sor cmbarrass himself We really think he
takes TOO much trouble. He might have said in
fewer words that he swore ia $50 what the ext
gencies OF the case seemed to require, aud now,
under altered circumstances he takes an opposite
view Of the matter. He says he is not only will

POLITICALLY was web assured that General Cass is in
favor OF free trGds
That he is opposed of proiectipe tariff -
Then Cen Cass has changed essentially since
he wrote home from France demonstrating against
the ruaous policy Of our letting ia French fabrics
NJ such low rates of duty.l
That he l. opposed 10 breaking up the great land sys

That he had sustained the etoes of President Polk,

WHY. thou most unWise dost not know that
Cas-, roted forerery one Of these Internal Improve

SAYS they two went together to the President TO
persuade him NOT TO veto them
"Thst be l. pledged to exercise the constitutional
power OF me ytO against The 0dioVs called fh6
Rimo Proriso and against all Of fh0f class.
aud that he has voted against that Proyiso in HE place
IN the Senate OF the United States
Good for you Wise o that we could make
your allies up this way stand mp TO hat rack -
But don't you remember that he was a. taror of
the Proviso at first and sadly berated John Davis
for deprvng him of a chance to vote for 1t in 40
Wheo he voted against it last year, he declared
himself favorable to the principle, bat said it was
aot tine yet to apply it. This year he says a
change has been going on in my mind on the sub
jeot. How can YOU trust such whittier ?
Lastly. T1e party which nominated him is pledged
these principles and guarantees MS support Of them

That's fair and square Those who want four
years more OF Polkism viii find Lewis Cass ex
actiy their man.
