GENERAL CAss ON THE WILMor PRovIso Gen
eral Cass has published long letter in the Wash
ington papers, in which he taxes strong ground
against the Wilmot proviso, and all the movers
and abettors of that doctrine. The position OF
Mr.. Cass, therefore, on that great question, is in
direct hostility to the ground assumed by Mr..
Van Buren, and his friends in this State, who may
be called the half-blooded abolition party of the
north. Gen. Cass' letter is written with great
deal of force and cogency of argument. We are
disposed to think that il has placed the question
of the Wilmot proviso, as far as regards the Con-
stitution, in a clear and practical light. This
movement of this distinguished statesman is cal
culated to consolidate that portion of the demo-
cratic partvthroughout the Union, which is OPP
posed to the admission of any abolition doctrine,
or any other of the crude doctrines that have
been taken up and debated by the friends of Van
Buren, in this State, and which will probably di.
vide and distract the party in the central parts Of
the country sufficiently to elect Mr. Clay the next
President, should he be nominated by the whe
convention Really, the Presidential campaign
is now opening with vengeance. We shall
publish General Cass letter as soon as possible
It reflects much credit on his talent, his frank
ness and his atesmanship.

the year
Statistics Of the money and other markets.
Statistics of the theatres.
Statistics Of the lawyers honest and dishonest
Statistics OF the brokers, honest aud dishonest.
STATISTICS OF the clergymen, pious and hypocrites.
The number of lawyers, brokers, clereymen,
bankers, and players, properly distributed into
the several aocks of sheep and goats, as will be
done IN the valley of Jehoshaphat on the last
day, we cannot yet get strictly accurate. It is
the first time that our body of writer's and re-
porters have attempted such an enumeration.
upon large scale; and they may have been beset
on their way with the same difficulties which
obstructed David in numbering the children of
Israel. We rather think the number of honest
lawyers and brokers, pious clergymen, and
wicked actors, has been over-rated. It is, how
ever, an error, on the score of humanity and
kind feeling, towards poor human nature, to ad-
init that there is a larger mass of persons who
are better than we expected them to be.
We had intended to have enumerated and
classified, according to their different moral
and Intellectual qualities, our respectable con-
temporaries of tie New York press--such as
Moses Y. Beech, David Hale, James Watson
Webb, Horace Greeley, Charles King, W. c.
Bryant, and others of less note and humber
name. But finding difficulty in estimating
their qualifications and fixing their rank, either
IN moral, a religious, or a pecuniary point
view, we have given up the task in despair,
and have consigned them over, as an un-
tathomable mass of human mortality, to the
great Searcher and W.igher of Hearts, at the
final day. Our amiable contemporaries have
escaped tor the present; but they must remember
they cannot escape forever. We hope, there
fore, it will have the effect OF leading them to
mend their ways for the coming year; and
we hope that all of us may do the same-that we
may all improve as much during the coming
year, as we think we have done in the past both
in money and morals.
