The Editor of the Star will perceive that he h.,
cut short Gen. Casss expression of opinion. and a
he has given his readers only half the septeO..
Will the Editor now lay the entire sentence bef,.
his readers?
But what ground does Mr.. Senator Badger occDDr
on this vital question! Did he not oppose the an.
nexation of Texas upon the ground that Texas WAS
slaveholding State! Surely he did; and for proof
of this assertion we refer to his celebrated Guiled
letter, written in. 1914.
But what said the Hon. A. II. Stephens, of Geor.
gia, in I845! In 1915, in his Speech in the Husa
of Representatives the question of the annexation
of Texas, he said --.. 81. --..... ..... ..-.

Thisis the language of A. H. Stephens, well known
as Whig champion in the South; and We have no
hesitation ia saying, that it is stronger against Slave
~ in the abstract than any thing uttered by
Lewis Cass. The truth is, Gen. Cass is sounda
this day upon the question of Slavery than many
Southern Wing leaders and we would trust him on
this subject long before we would Mr.. Senator Badger
or the Hon. A. H. Stephens.
