The Boot Oh the other Leg,

"The anti-Cass Democrats of Jackson
county held meeting on Saturday even
ing last. detroit Advertiser.
The meeting which the Advertiser re-
ters to happened to be composed of disaf-
tected Wings and abolitionists. We do
not know uniform democrat in Jackson
county who is opposed to Gen. Glass;
Before Gen. CAss was nominated at Bal
timore, he was the first choice of the De-
mocracy of this county, and he will re-
ceive support as unanimous as it is cor
dial.
On the other hand we can assure the
Advertiser that Gen. Taylor will not re-
ceive the votes Of three-fourths of the
Wings in Jackson county. We know of
fourteen Hhigs in one small town who wiH
cote for Cass and Butler, and in every
town there are Wings who do not hesitate
to avow their intention to support the
Democratic ticket. Many of the most sub
stantial Wings in the county have from
the first repudiated Gen. Taylor, and the
third party movement which is now go
ing on and is making sad havoc in the Wing
ranks. GA little more grape" Mr.. Adj

numerous and mighty host of adversaries
that cease not day nor night to oppose the
sublime truths Of religion and the precepts

the heart of man: its enduring materials
are his passions and desires. There is a
spirit in man, which, while it acknowl-
edges this truth, practically repels it.
This spirit seeks and strives for personal
advantage: for wealth, honor, Office, pow
err, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, sway, influence, dis
tinction. All these, obtained and perpe-
tuated, or long confined, destroy or hurt
liberty, equality, democracy; and build

As no man is without sin, M.aicl sts,ius
