er since the foundation of this glorious
Republic have questions of greater mag
nitude been presented to the free elector.
The psrmanency Of this Union, and the
existence of the most happy fabric that
has ever been invented by human wis.
dom depends upon the result. In this
most monientous crisis, we trust that no
true American will be drawn from the
path Of rectitude, when the danger is so
eminent.
OF the distinguished statesman and pa
triot, who; long before the convention
which nominated him assembled was our
first choice for the highest office in the
gift ofthe people, it is hardly necessary
to speak. What western man is not "a
miliar with the life of GEN. CAss? And
who, that is at all conversant with the
history of the great Mississippi valley,
is not aware Of the important services he
has rendered his country. For the past
forty years he has been in the service of
his country, both in the field and cabinet,
and has ever been found frueto !histrust;
and a firm and consistent believer in the
democratic cause, and a steadfas: friend
of our National Constitution. General
Cass is emphatically candidate that

There are two other candidates in the
field, and the sole object that one of them

Gen. Cass, for he rs too cunning net to
be aware of his inability to carry the
first electoral vote. He brought defeat
upon the democratic party in 1910, and
the same would have been the result had
his friends succeeded in forcing him up.
on the democratic party in 1914. He,
however, did not desert his party at that
time but went to work to rescue the NOM

attempt, he at once cuts himself loose
from the party, and determined on RE.

their real designs, and adopt him as their
candidate for the Presidency. That the
object of Van Buren, is to elect Gen. Tay-

intelligent man must admit. From the
