A POLITICAL REVELATION.

Senator NILES, OF Connecticut, who was fully in
the secrets of the Democratic Convention in 1874,
in speech lately delivered by him at Hartford,
makes the following statement:
He said that previous 70 the Baltimore Convention Of
1884, when many had declared for Van Buren, that
his nomination was deemed certain, a leading politician
(whom he namely conceived the project OF calling
ton to the fourth Of July, to nominate ndpen
dent Candidate This person addressed letter TO Gen. Cass
inquirng whether he would permit his 60 before
such convention a candidate, Now (sad Mr. NILEs,)
though Gen. Cass would probably consider resistance to
guar nominations an offence little short OF treason, he had
such for them that time He professcd but lit
tie Acquaintance with the Of public sentiment ne had
recently returned from France thought politicians governed
the people much was modest in his thoughts o the Pre-
sdency bat concluded by acquiesng in the Of his
before such convention happened that the gen,emsn
making the proposition had not steam enough to get
venton, and the project fell through"

We warn the friends of the protection Of Ameri-
can industry to be on their guard, and to prepare
themselves for another game Of Locofoco deception
like that Of 1874. We are credibly informed that
the British free-rade Loceoco leaders in this city
are about manufacturing letter for Lewis Cass
like that which was manufactured for James X.
Polk in 1874. Having failed in elccting Longstreth,
they have now determined to change their tactics,
and make another effort to swindle the people of
the Keystone State into the support Of Lewis Cass
by similar fraud TO that of 1914.
Friends Of the tariff, Of home labor, and Of a
home market, be on your guard against this new
concocted scheme Of Locofocoism TO wrest the State
from you. Depend upon il, an effort ,cW be made
TO palm Cass and Butler upon the voters Of Penn
sylvania the especial friends and advocates OF
the coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania. We
knoW that such scheme is now aAoat in this city,
and shall not at all be surprised TO find letter
from Gen. Cass published in the course Of few
days, representing himself in favor of the protec-
tive policy. We say again, therefore, be on your
guard. Sound the aarm and expose the contem-
plated iraud.-Phiia. Daily Neos.

We are informed, on tie most reliable authority,
that Cass's vote in Wilmots district will fall at
least six thousand short Of that Of Longstreth's.
This estimate is given by those who can hardly be

find their error by the 9Th Of November.

REASONS FOR SUPPORTING GEN. TAYLOR

We beg TO direct the particular attention Of the
reader TO an article in another column, assigning
hirty-three reasons for supporting Gen. TAYLOR
We submit to every candid mind whether they are
not, each and every one of them, substantial and
true. The . Union" has lately put forth one HIM
dred reasons for supporting Gen. CAss; but the
only thing to be admired in them is the ingenuity
which could spin out of materials SO scanty list
so enormous. Reasons they are without reason ;
and, taken altogether, about on par with the
fifth Of the five reasons of the topper for drinking:
"A friend, toast, or being dry,
"Or that may be by-and-bye,
or any other ,chy."
Formidable as they are in number, we would
fearlessly submit it to any jury of twelve honest
men whether the Mirty-tiree for Gen. TAYLOR do
not immeasurably outweigh the whole hmsy h,o,-
dred Of the Union for Gen. CAss.
