fraternize with them in the great work ifthey

declaring that the present constituting assembly

recommending at the same time, that 1t act as

A motion is being discussed to-day, and will

will clash with that of the Union This is directed
mainly against Prussia, whose constituting assem-

of the Frankfort assembly, and lead to a conflict
with Prussia, the latter will undoubtedly resist
indeed, there is great deal of bitterness against
Prussia and Prussian soldiers, and good share
against Austria. In short, see no hope of a fe-

were pursued and captured by the owner and some
of his friends, who, their way back were, in

one hundred men, all armed, started from Farming

A gentleman, Of This place, has kindly
permitted us to peruse some papers reeeiv-
ed from friend of his 10 the South. For
the purpose of answering this question to
the satisfaction of our neighbors Of the Ea-
gle, we make few extracts. First, we
select from the Port Gibson Correspondent,
published at Port Gibson, Mississippi. 1t
says:
THUS we see the opposition ofthe Wings
to General CAss, based upon his devotion
to the peculiar Interests Of The South, /" and
his incorporating hostility to the WilmOt

well upon these facts, and give our votes to
Cass and Butler, who are pledgediO The sup.

says:

and presented to him, he is bound 10 vefo il -
We nave not room for further extracts.
The same papers prove conclnsiveIy, from
the Allison letter, that General TAYLOR will
not veto the Wilmot Proviso, if it should
pass both houses of Congress.

Attention.!

We have been requested, by a citizen
of Amanda, toread Cass' riot act to those,
who, pretending to celebrate Weller's
cictOry, took occasion to sing lewd songs,
blackgdard better people by far than
themselves and to do other very unseen
ly and unbecoming acts.
We have re-published the act and
these "disorderly persons"--"common
drunkards s"--'common night walkers
"wanton and lasciviour in speech, con-
duct and behavior" s"--"common brawl,
ers"--"who neglect their calling"--"mis-
spend what they earn"-will take notice
that each and every one is sentenced to
be sold to the 'darkey' that bids highest
the sentence to tack effect so soon as
Cass becomes the Executive of his own
law.

The Wing Reserve.

The Cincinnati Chronicle specifies 10
counties of this State, in which there was
falling off ofthe Wing vote at the late O.
lection as compared with that Of 1914, of 5.
800. The Chronicle says the Wings of the
State have not poled their vote by Twenty
thousand. All that number, says the Chron
icle, are an unquestioned Whig Reserve.

TO NATURAL1zED c1r,zEus.

ROBINSON, very intelligent and influential
naturalized citizen of New York CITY, con.
cerOiDg the Irish Relief Bill, which was de-
feated by Locofoco votes lie was Repor-
ter, al the time, and is acquainted with the
facts, In taking up SO much space, we have
no electioneerng purpose in view. At this
late day we cannot hope to induce any of our
naturalzcd citizens to change their views
in regard to the candidates before the Ameri-
can people; but it may strengthen the views
of those, who are with US. 1t will also
place US right in our charge against Mr..
Cass. We also respectfully refer the Edi
tors of the Eagle to it, as they may therein
learn that James Madison signed similar
bill and that there is peg in the Constitu.
tion' upon which to hang such an appropri-
alton.

the petty office of Brigade Inspe ctor is no

date his commission from 1s45 not from

The sub-Treasury Law.

The Providence Journal furnishes the
following pertinent illustration Of the prac'
tical working of this beautiful law:
"The Worcester Railroad had claim a.
gainst the Post Office Department on ac-
count oflhe transportation OF the mail. In
the ordinary way of business, as restraining
law, the Treasurer would have received a
cheek upon bank in Providence or New
York, and il FIVE minutes thereafter the
mount would have been deposited to his
credit. Under the Subtreasury, he ihould
haze been paid in specie. He wds paid in
orders upon fue different posi- Offices, in a
circuit # Jyfy or sirty miles, and il Das a
good day's Work 10 collect them, and he tOas
uHGnrniy paid IN bank bills. Ii Is SO all
over the country.

railroad companies of New York could con,
firm. from their own experience, a like
statement with the above.

Nlnrlx The Fact!

CAsshas charged more for extra miles
of travel than four times the amount that
the Eagle charges against the wbig men,
bers of Congress from Ohio. Of course
the crime, ifit is one, is four times greater.
For instance He had settlement to
make with the Indians at Piqua, Ohio,
Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Chicago, II.
linois. Any person glancing over the
map of the Western States, can see the
amount of extra miles He travelled
from Detroit to Piqua, thence to the Ohio
River, thence down the Ohio to the Wa
bash, thence up the Wabash and land to
Fort Wayne, thence to Chicago, thence
to Detroit. He charged for this whole
distance. Now take the actual distance
between these different places and 1t will
be seen how Cass was enabled to filch
ninety thousand extra dollars from the
Government. .....
We can name a dozen similar cases,
all from the documents, probably not so
great in amount, but in the same ratio.--
In going to Green Bay, Michilimackinac,
Point de Luc--.it is the same. ....

Townships of Liberty, Violet and Bloom,
in the discharge of their duty to the gal
liant Old Chief, f,-tenderthem as the high
est incentive they can present, a beauti-
ful and appropriate Banner, wrought by
their own hands, as an emblem that they
cherish, in their affections, the memory of
his high and gallant deeds, and as a to-
ken that they desire to see the old war
worn soldier honored by his countrymen.
The Banner will be awarded 20 the
young Taylor men of the Township,
which gives the largest increase of vote,
in favor of General Taylor, over that Of
Gen. Ford.

To the Polls, one and all!
Honest Democrats!

We speak to those, who feel willing to
break down party barriers and vote for
honest men. A fact has just come to our
knowledge, the very mention of which
should tinge with shame the cheeks of in
dependent men, of American citizens
We tell you, democrats, your leaders
place no confidence in you. They watch
you closely, they set traps to catch you
Show them, oh! show them, men of hon.
est purposes and noble intentions, show
your leaders that you aOiH act as becomes
freemen-that you fear them not-tha1
you wiH vote as your consciences die
tate.
In Amanda township, at the last elec
ton, it appears that suspicion was arous
ed against an honest man, that he inten
ded to vote his sentiments and not the
sentiments of the leaders of his party
A ticket was given to him, but he did no
vote it. He voted the whig ticket
When that Locofoco ticket was opened
his name was found written upon it, will
red Ink.
For shame! OH what burlesque up
on freedom. Honest men of all parties
Will you submit to such supervision a
thisl Are you not able to act and thnl
and vote for yourselves? Break thi
party chain! Act as American citizens
Spurn from you the men, who would con
troll your vote! For that vote, you ar,
only answerable to your consciences
your country and your God. Cast it, then
as you think right 1t is the only wa,
in which you can perform your duty a
American citizens. Examine your bal
lot before you put it in the box. If you
find that one has been given to you, by
man who doubts your capacity to vot
and your honesty, and who has write
your name on the ticket, throw it away
and mark that man forever AFTER He i
not to he trusted. He is no patriot. H
dishonors his country and her free insli
tutions. He is not the man for you t
place confidence in. He does not appre
ciate the glorious privilege of universe
suffrage. He is no American.
