whether Gen. Cass really broke his sword
at HulI's surrender. He may have bro
ken it for aught we know. 1t is proved
beyond all dispute that Gov. Macarthur
broke his sword upon the occasion, and
MI. Robert Wallace, of Kenton county,
KY, a prominent l~ocofoco, has given writ.
ten testimony hat he saw 1t. Anderson
break his, and it is certainly possible that
Col. Cass snapped his short off in imita-
ton of his betters. What a prodigious
consumption of cutlery there must have
been!
We cannot boast in old Rough's be-
half that he ever broke his sword at a sur
render, for "Gen. Taylor never surren-
ders." He has, many a time and OFT,
thrashed it over The heads of his country's
enemies, far more violently than General
Cass thrashed his over the stump, but, as
good luck would have it, the heads were
always broken instead of the sword.
Col. Charles Brough, o fthe Cincinnati
Enquirer, just back from Mexico, says
mat "Gen. Taylor makes an ass ofhimself
every time he writes a letter." What
measures of scorn and contempt is too
great to be melted out by all honest men
to a petty Colonel, who, after a cam
paign in Mexico in which he never burn
ed a grain of powder or heard the clash
of opposing weapons, uses such language
in speaking of the great master-spirit of
the war, the immortal hero of the most
glorious battle-fields of our age and coun-
try!
Parson Brownlow suggests this apology
for Gov. Cass's Michigan law to whip
and sell white folks:
"Cass proposed only to punish men of
his 10 party. A glance at the law quot
ed, shows that the persons provided for
are Locofoeos."
9 We think the parson is not altogether
right. Gov. Cass's law proposed to whip
and sell white SERVANTS, for sullenness or
stubborness and we think that Mr.. Polk
can testify that the Locofocos are the
most submissive servants in the world.
The Washington Union calls the afro
cious fraud of publishing two lives of Cass,
one for the North and the other for the
South, ga very small affair."" 1t is indeed
a contemplate small affair, and so is
the cause which it is intended to SUBJ
serve.
Nine-tenths of the crews of all the ca
nal-boats upon the Pennsylvania canals
are said to be for Gen. Taylor. Along
the whole line of the canal. the Taylor
excitement is said to be immense. That
great aquatic t%horoughfare is emphati-
cally a"raging canawl."
"The Jacksonville News, which had ia
ken down the flag of Cass and Butler,
has again run it up, resolved to die by it."
-Pihsburg Post.
The locofocos are perfectly welcome to
die by that flag of Cass and Butler while
the Wings live by that ofTaylor and Fill

"Take one letter from Taylor and you
have Tyler. Ohio Statesman,
Take one letter from Cass, and what
sort of an animal have you?
Still another life of Gen, Cass has Just
been published. This makes the seventh.
Give him two more. A locofoco candi-
date ought not to be behind a cat in the
number of his lives.
The Hon. Paul Dillingham;. Jr., loco
foco candidate for Governor of New
Hampshire, goes for the Wilmot proviso
and for Gen. Cass as its champion. We
suppose that Paul has got hold Of the
Northern life of the man with the two
lives.
"Gen. Cass never favored the Adolf.
in his life" Washington Union.
We suppose you has Southern
life.
"The constitution is safe in the hands
o fLewis Cass."-W Washington Union.
The constitution is safe out of his
and it will stay safe out of them:
The complaint of the locofocos against
Gen. Taylor is that he has no principles.
Their own candidate keeps several sets.
