The New York Tribune also confirms the
above.
Now take this in connec ton with the early
devotion Of Lewis Cass to the Proviso, and
his subsequent dlrelecion as displayed in his
Nicholson letter, aud then say VIVA, il looks

mortal mai, then we are at loss TO give ii d
name.
The people have reason to rejoice that such
| a man has been signally rebuked in the late
election. The country has made happy es-
cape. and leaves Lewis Cass TO occupy the
unenviabe no 'iety which his ow n course has
marked GU, for him. lie, him alone.
