The assertion that Gen. Cass will countenance
the extension of slavery over territory free, is
without proof-a mere inference, drawn from the
fact that southern men aided in his nomination and
are his cordial supporters - Waukesha Democrat
The editor of this sheet seems to have finally
made up his mind to devote himself to Cas-, and
from the above we infer does not mean to be over
scrupulous about it. Gen. Cass says distinctly and
positively, over his own signature, that to apply
the Wlmot proviso prohibiting slavery in the ter
ritores of the Union is unconstitutional. which
this editor knows and yet he tells his readers that
the assertion that Gen. Cass will countenance the
extension OF slavery, is mere inference. We are
aware that Cas- men sometimes excuse the incon-
of their position by asserting that what
Cass says is no evidence of what he will do, and it
is probably this ground that we are to draw from
Cass assertion mere inference to his Intentions.
But if Cass had made this positive assertion,
we claim that his support by certain southern men
furnishes certain inference as TO his position on
this question; for il is we'll known and this editor
knows IT. that the very men from the south who
nominated him, were instructed by their constitu
ents to support no man who was not opposed to
the Wllmot proviso and in favor OF the extension of
slavery, Did these men betray themselves and their
constituents or did they know their mana And
does any man believe that Senator Foote, the Mis-
sissippi hangman, would have made pilgrimage
to New York, to advocate the claims of man OPP
posed to the extension of slavery4 The position
of the south on this question is well known, and
there can possibly be no fact better demonstrated
than that Lewis Cass is wholly and entirely with
the south on this question.

The friends of the slavery candidates are
very apprehensive, that Mr.. Van Buren,,
when elected President will betray the in
terests of the North, and be just as much a
dough-Iace as Cass, or pro slavery man as
Taylor. 1t is enough to excite the benevo-
lent sensiblIillcs of any one, to fear for one
moment, that Van Buren, may turn out to
be no better than Cass or Taylor, and we do
not wonder that these men who know their
own candidates, should shudder at the bare
anticipation of such a result. But the sup
porlers of Mr.. Van Buren, have no apprehen-
slons of this kind, and they earnestly hope
these slavery propagandists may be enabled
to rid themselves of their fears in the prem
lses.

Mr.. Y. b. argues at length in favor Of

That the "alm set up by the South is de.

So many have come out for its nominees, that what
