GIVES 1T Up.

A few weeks since, the democrat"
talked great deal about Gen. Cass in
military point of view. He was styled
"the Brave Old Volunteer, who had often
perllcd his life tor his country" We called
upon it to name the times and places where
he perilled his life-to name the battles he
had fought. This it failed to do. 1t was
disposed TO give him great credit for break
ing his sword-of which patriotic deed,
however, he has been shorn. We alluded
to the breaking Of his sword. and stated
that Gen. Taylor used his agains, our enc.
mics, and not stumps or rocks. The Dem.
ocral" called upon US TO give an instance of
his using his sword against our enemies.
We referred it to his many hard-fought
and victorious battles, and rebuked it for
slandering the brave defender Of his coun.
try--for the question, put in the connec-
ton it was, was nothing but an insidious
attempt to SANDER Gen. Taylor. Know
ing the perfect contempt and scorn with
which men would treat this attack on Gen.
Taylor, we remarked that the Democrat
nigh, think itself fortunate, if it escaped
the vengeance Of the boys of the country.
This called forth an article in its last, in
which it seeks 10 palliale the slan,ier, and
frighlen the boys! 1t says "Ihe question
was calculated To bring 10 mind the fac,
that these two officers (Cass and Taylor)
both stand fair in military point of view y
Their names ought not to be mentioned on
The same day Of the week, SO great is The
difference; and this very attempt on tho
part of the Democrat, to place Taylor on
level with Cass, is an act of gross injus-
lice to Gen. Taylor. We have called up.
on it to show when and where Gen. Cass
distinguished himself, and it has failed Ia
do it; yet by detracting from Gen. Tay.
lor, it hopes to show that they both stand
fair in military point of view!
We shall not stand idly by and sec Gen.
Taylor sandered or undue honors awarded
to Gen. Cass. The country is too well in
formed of both men, for either TO be done
very succcessfnlly--bu, the men who al.
tempt it deserve exposure. and so far as we
can hold them up to the public, il will be
done. GIVE again call upon the Demo.
crat for times and places the old volunteer
perilled his life for his country.

have seen returns By this time Gen. Tay.
Tors last letter has reached the Northern
and Eastern sections of the Union, that will
add thousands and thousands of votes to his

OUR REMOVAL.

Absence from home, completing the me-
cessary arrangements for our removal, left
us only sufficient time and space to barely
announce the fact in our last.
II is due the friends Of our office here
those who have encouraged and supported
for il the last eight years, to state the reas ms
which induced this movement on our part.
We have had il in contemplation some
time. and expected TO make the move mex,
spring. The appearance of prospectus
for wing paper there. induced us to make
it forthwith, as by so doing, upon an ami
cable arrangement, the starting Of another
paper was stopped.
We deemed this the best arrangement
for ourselves, and those who desire the
publication of wing paper in the county.
With wing paper there, the income of a
press here, would be inadequate to its sup.
port-it being barely sufficient now, and
decreasing. Others think, and have told
us differently. With all due Difference for
their opinions. we must be excused for adj.
herring to our own. We have published a
paper here upwards of eight years-we
know what the cost is--the amount Of pat.
ronage, and everything connected with IL
and are satisfied that selfpreservaton re.
qured the move on our part. So much for
The personal part of il. -l
In political sense, we can as well serve
the interests of our friends of the country
there, as here. As n party, we are in the
minority. As wings, we all desire to
change position with our opponents. II
this is ever done, Glasgow will be the
means Of doing it--and to what extent the
establishment Of wing paper will aid il
concentrating this desirable end, other:
can Judge.
We regret that circumstances forces us
to dissolve, even partially, relations of a so
cial political and business nature which
have so long and pleasantly existed be
tween ourselves, friends and PATRONS
What we are, and have. we are indebted Il
this community for; and by our proposed
removal, we think we can better discharge
the obligations we are under, and serve
them more efficiently in future.

trouble, in hearing his able defence of Gen.
Taylor and our cause, and his sca,hing re-
view Of locofocosm and its leader, Gen.
Cass. Let all attend, and none will regret
it. IF the truth must be told. there is too
much apathy on the part Of the wings
they are too sure of success, in the whole
country. and too little disposed TO face the
heavy odds against US in this State. Their
old leader hestated not to face greater odds
in the deadly strife, and we ask them to
initiate his noble example. They never
will succeed by remaining idle--they may

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun repeats the story, which we
have seen in ano' her quarter, that Senator
Benton has written long letter to Reverdy
Johnson, of Maryland, telling him why il,
is impossible for him to fight Judge Butler
of South Carolina. One oflhe reasons is.
that his character has been aspersed, and
mus, first be vindicated before the impair.
