GEN. CAss CATEcHIsED-- The Ques.
tions and Repl,es.-The Louisville Jour
nal has brought General Cass to the t6rm,
and taken him through the political cate.
chism. Here the questions and here the
replies. 1t must be admitted that it makes
General Cass's principles "as clear as
mud" whilst it leaves no doubt that he is
in favor of allthings and against all things,
"all things to all men:"
""Are you in favor of protection, Gen.
erall"
"If you are northern man, refer you
to my letter to the Indiana Convention
in lS43; but, if you are southern man,
you will find my opinions embodied in
my recent votes and speeches in the SEN
ate"
"Are you for or against the Wilmot
Poviso, Generall" ,,-
lfyou are a northern man, refer you
to the edition of my life just published in
the Globe Office forthe North; but, if you
are a southern man, you will find some
very good reading in the edition of my
life published in the same Office for the
SOUTH" -
"Do you approve or disapprove the an
nexation of Texas, Generall"
"lf you are an anti. annexation man,
refer you to the Detroit Advertiser for
proof that opposed the project most
warmly; but, it you are an annexation
man, you will find my views very salts
factorily set forth in my votes and speech
es in favor of the measure"
"Are you for or against the dynasty of
Louis Philippe, Generall"
"lf you are Louis Philippe man, you
will be so good as to read my book on
the French King and court; but, if you
are an anti-Louis Philippe man, | will
send you package of my late speeches
in favor of the French revolution"
care you for or against the improve
ment Of rivers and lake harbors, Gen
erall"
"The noise and confusion would pre-
vent my answer from being heard if |
were totell YOU"

The negroes of the West Indies have
a method of stealing rum, which involves
the principles ofpneumatics. They take
a bottle filed with water, and invert it,
placing the neck in the bung hole ofthe
barrel so as to touch the liquor-the
water being the heaviest sinks into the
liquor. leaving vacuum in the bottles,
which is then filled with the liquor forced
up by the atmospheric pressure.

"THE OLD SARPTNT."-A few days

rived at Salem, Mass, bringing as passen-
ger one of those enormous Boa Constric-
tors that we ''read Of" bu; which never
before has been captured by mar. 1t
was caught in heavy rope net made for
the purpose, and while coled up this net
was thrown over him, and the captain of
the vessel solemnly AYERS that it required
tie united efforts Of l26 negroes tor more
than scren hours TO secure his snakcship!
He measures 80 feet in length = and the
morning before his arrival 81 eggs were
found in his cage, which were deposited
ia a single night, and the aggregate

One of the eggs being broken was found
to contain a young snake seven inches
long, which Immediately upon emerging
from the shell, crawled about the cage
with great rapidity. A few days. there
fore, will doubtless bring the other Sc
young snakes to light. What nest Of
serpents!
AS soon as the arrival ofthe vessel and
its extraordinary freight were known. sew
eral menagerie companies dispatched
their agents for Salem, and Barnum also
dispatched his manager Hitchcock. A
telegraphic dispatch of this morning an
nounces that neither of the "showmen"
have as yet purchased this monster-its
owner demanding S11, 1000 for it. An
gevine & Tits agent offered 81 900, and
Mr.. Hitchcock offered $500, but neith-
er offer has as yet been accepted. This
is truly valuable reptile.
CEMENT FOR COPPER BonERs.-A ce-
ment very nsefu for the purpose of secu-
ring the edges and rivets in copper boil
ers, 10 mend leaks from joints, &c. 1t
is simply bullocks blood thickened with
finely powdered quicklime. 1t must be
used as soon as mixed, as it rapidly gets
hard. 1t is extremely cheap aud very
durable, and is suited for many purposes
where a strong cement is required. It
is frequently called blood cement.
The best concrete plaster floor
that we ever saw, was made of lime,
gravel, and bullocks blood. There is no
question about its hardness and durabiI-
ity, while its surface by rubbing can he
made perfectly smooth and CLASSY.

but little enthusiasm we have the better guarantee
that what they undertake will be effected pru-
IDENTIFY, thoroughly, and well. The outbreaks at
Berlin are but the displays of little mob excite
ment; but the meeting of the organized bodies in
the provinces, and the official representations to
the King, of the necessity Of remodelling the con-

mined to act and that it would be madness and
destruction for the monarch to resist them. We

and was to open the campaign on the 10th inst, at
Lexington. The Colonels address is thus described
by the Louisville Journal of the 1lth
The Colonel gives pretty full and rather vain
glorious sketch of his public life, civil and military,
and then enters upon exposition of his political
principles. He opposes the Wilmot Proviso-holds
that every State, when admitted into the Union
has right to determine for itself whether it will
have slavery or not-goes all lengths for the Mexi
can war, and the course of the President in regard
to it-says that Mr. Folks fame for the successful
prosecution of the war, ''will be transmitted to
future ages''-declares in favor of a convention to
amend the Constitution of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the amendments which he thinks mportant-boasts
that the principles of Democracy have been his
polesar, through life-tells of his devotion, while
in Congress- to the interests of of all parties
descants upon his political liberality, and his phi

Presidential Candidates.

We understand that Mr. Clay has published a
letter to his friends throughout the country inform
ing them, that having taken survey of the condi-
ton of affairs and drawn his own conclusions of
the wants and wishes of the country, he has con-
rented that his name shall be brought before the
Wing National Convention as a candidate for the
party nomination for President. This puts at rest
in our opinion, all doubts as to whom the wings
will run. Mr.. Clay would not have taken so mpor-
tant a STEP unless he had been well assured that he
would be chosen. He occupies too high a rank, as
politician and statesman, to risk an apparent
solicitation of the honor if there We're the slightest
prospect that it would be refused. HENRY CLAY
is the wing candidate. Who will be the demo-
cratic opponent! That s the question. But, will
either wing or democrat be elected with Gen. Tay-
Tor in the field That is another question, which
probably, have triangular battle. The anti-con-
vention, "no-party convention which nominated
Gen. Taylor, will, of COURSE support hm-as they
are pledged to do-under all circumstances. These
gentlemen include very large portion of our lead
ing and active politicians; and supported, as they
are, by thes influence of the Bulletin and National

Taylor, nolens polens I've should not be surprised
if his ticket beat either of those which may be
nominated by the other parties in this State Other
States have, in like manner, nominated the Old
Hero; and there, as here, his friends have nailed
his colors to the mast, and will not be likely to
strike flag on which his name is inscribed, at the
dictate of any party organization, when it was
raised in avowed defiance of all parties The
battle promises to be interesting; we shall watch its
progress, duly chronicle every important movement;

which was sung German fellow the

Breathe forth your music at the fesal altar
A new emotion moves the Fatherand,
A hero.spirit that shall never faller-
The glorious flame of freedoms Pickering fire,
So long forgotten in the night of ages
The sword is barred for tyranny the heart enrages;
Then pour the soul upon the trembling Tyre.
Alas alas ! our country is oppressed,
By clouds that darkly DER her bosom hover;
Yet shall the people sweep them from her breast
And Freedoms beacon through the gloom discover.
Sing, brothers sing and seize the deetng hour.
While all your voices may in concord render
Praises to God Gernania' IS only true defender
For heaven against the tyrants power.
Fill high fill high the sparkling goblets foam,
The upon the verdant earth is cleaning,

While in misty shadow we are dreaming.
Fen as the lost may despairing strive
To catch one ray of hope when woe -benighted;
So shall Germania when by freedoms beacon lighted
From the bright future, liberty derive.
To thee we swear beloved Fatherland,
The oath that should by freemen's lips be spoken;
Drawn is the sword and nerved is every hand
We swear to combat till thy chains broken.
Raise, brothers raise, the flag of Germany.
And let it Ter faithful hearts devotion
While freedoms songs of triumph swell land and
