TIE USED up POLITICIAN.

Something appropriate. The following
sketch of "Used up politician is not inap-
propriate, at this time. 1t is from the pen of
the late Joseph c. Neal:
Peter Brush was in a dilapidatcd condition
out at elbows, out at knees out at pockets,
and out of shirts, and out in the sreet-an
"out and outer' in every respect. He sat
upon the curb-stone, leaning his head upon
his hand, his elbow being placed upon step.

been silent, absorbed in deep thought, which
he relieved at intervals by splitting through
his teeth, forlornly into the gutter. AT length,
heaving deep sigh, he spoke:
"They used to tell me--put not your trust

QUITE PARIsIAN.-Kendal, of the Picnyit,le
went over the ground after the suppress
sion of the Instruction in Paris. He
writes:
Over in a yard we witnessed scene so pc
culairly French that must mention it. A
little fellow, certainly not more than eight
years old, had company of some dozen or fif-
teen juveniles about his own age, armed with
sticks, broom-handles and anything they could
lay hands upon, and these specimens of precoG-
ty he was exercising and drilling with all the
earnestness and gravity imaginable. Andthen
we saw funerals in every quarter, the slain OF
the recent strife being carried to their last rest
ting places; we..saw innumerable lines of the
country troops returning to their homes, loaves
OF bread decorating their bayonets; we passed
house where they were searching for arms or
prisoners; and finally, about dark. we got
back to our starting point on the Boulevard
des ltaliens, to find it thronged with the same
gay and thoughtless crowd we had seen there
before the revolution.

CAss's LAW TO WHIP AND SELL WHITE MEN
AND WHITE WoMEN.-On the 9Th ult., MIR.
Felch, one of the Locofoco Senators from Mi
chigan, undertook to excuse Gen. Cass for sign
ing the territorial law OF Michigan to whip and
sell white men a1d white women. Fetch, far
from mending the matter, made it worse and
worse. According TO the report of his re marks
in the Washington Union, he said that the ter
ritoria laws of Michigan, this whipping law
among the rest, were enacted by four function
aries, who constituted the only legislative au-
thority within the limits of the territory. These
four functionaries, in whom the whole legisla-
tive power was embodied, were the Governor
(Lewis Cass,) the presiding judge, and two as
sociate judges of the territory. So Cass accord
ing TO the representation of his friend Felch.
not only signed the law TO whip and sell white
men and white women but was one of the four
individuals by whom the monstrous thing was
concocted.

The proof that Lewis Cass, whilst Secretary
of War, did get up company for land specu-
lation and land monopoly is full and perfect.
Even the locofoco editors, audacious as they
are, do not deny the fact. Not one of them
all daresdeny it. The editor of the ST. Louis Re-
publican and his cores ondent, who is vouch-
ed for as gentleman ofhigh standing and res
probability, say that the speculation was in
mineral lands-tha was in lands, the manage
ment, leasing, sale, &c. Of which were coniid-
ed by the Government to Cass as Secre tary of
War. he having the appointment ofthe agents,
being the first to receive their reports, posses
sing of course the best possible means of know
ing the most valuable tracts, and armed with
full power to prevent the discoverer of mine
from entering it and to take possession of it
himself Now we confidently appeal to all
honest men, to all whose hearts are not so far
sunk in political and moral depravity and cor
ruption that they can see no distinction be-
tween right and wrong, to say whether Sec
rotary of War, thus prostituting the high pre-
negatives of his station for the promotion of
his own selfish and mercenary designs, does
not deserve nations deep scorn and universal
execration instead of nations suffrages for
the Presidency!
We doubt whether this official turpitude has
any parallel in the country's history.

rLEMEN:-The listed log cabin soyereigns
OF the West and of the North, should distinct
ly understand one very important thing, and it
is this-That Gen. Lewis Cass, the Locofoco
nominee for the Presidency, while Secretary OF
State, got up great humbug Land Company
mono poly. for the express purpose of buying
up all the best and most valuable portion of
the public lands; so as 10 enable them, when
ever any poor farmer should wish to purcha Sc
a farm, he would be obliged to call on Lewis
Cass & Co., and buy second hand, and be
obliged to pay an exorbitant price, or not get
farm at all, Felow-citizens, recollect that
this same Gen. Cass is now calling upon YOU,
to cast your votes for him for President, to en-
able him TO farther exted his projects of land
monopoly; scheme filled with danger and or
preston to the poor. This land monopoly
ought at once to be put down-and the men
who are concerned in such project should be
put down likewise. Remember, you farmers
OF the great West, and ofthe Northwest, that
Gen. Cass is f1oie, at this time, deeply inter
ested in the great land monopoly. What do
you think of sucha man? are you willing to
give him your support?
