H PREDTCAMENT.

A correspondent Of the hntelHgencer, I'M
der the signature of ga True Whig," is
touching up his party On the various issues
Of the day, and urging them to adopt some
principle in regard to the constirutionality
Of the Proviso. Like an honest man, he de-
sires to know on which side ofthe question,
the great Wing party stands. Whether
they will define the doctrine Of State rights,
or blindly fall into that free Soil adoption.
Upon this the various Wing papers cry
out, this will never do. They say that
Wings Of great ability believe one way, and
those of equal talents believe another. "Is
it therefore not plain" says one, elf this
new test be enforced, an irrsconcilabls feud
will destroy the Wing party" Just as we
said, the Wing leaders attempt to keep tho
party in harness, by the mere name Of Wing,
refusing to define a single principle Of their
faith, for fear that feuds will destroy them.
They will not give an opinion on an excl
ting and important measure, for the reason
that If their positions be known, the party
will 70 longer sustain them. Away with
such mum policy and deception! Speak
out your principles, and let the honest por-
ton of your party know where you stand.
If honesty defeats you, defeat is better than
success gained BY duplicity and conceal
'ment.

GEN, CASS AT HOME.

The following resolutions, passed at the recent
Michigan Convention, show that the people OIL
his own State are still more ardently attached than
ever to the name of their distinguished fellow
citizen. Gen. Cass. His distinguished services
as the great advocate Of sound Democratic prin-
ciples for a long series of years, combined with
his late efforts in Congress to adjust upon hon
orable and Just terms the dangerous and alarm
ing issues growing out Of the slavery question,
have endeared him not only to the people Of
Michigan, but to the people Of the entire Union.
His enlarged views as a statesman, together with
his integrity and honesty Of purpose, have long
been known and duly appreciated. Standing
above the arts and stratagems of demagoguery,
the treachery of ambition and the fanstioisin OF
faction, he looks TO the interests Of his constit-
,,uenis, and every act Of his brilliant life has been
directed to the prosperity and happiness of the
nation. When mercenary motives or the impul-
ses of personal aggrandizement have blinded 9TH
ers occupying as lofty stations as himself, he has
stood ready to check their erring pride, and ex-
,hibit in himself an example Of true patriotism.
When the gathering storm threatened its greatest
fury, he stood unmoved in the advocacy Of the
right, exhorting sl to point to the Constitution
and follow its precepts.
Resolved, That we tender to the Hon. LEWIS
CAss on behalf of the people Of Michigan, the
expression of our profound gratitude for the
Service he has rendered his State and the Union
i'm the United States Senate, in Congress and
HralsAOut the country. That he was the frsl
4 eminent men who marked out the line oil
national policy by which their great measures
could be adjusted and arranged satisfactory TO the
two extremes of the Union, and by a singula,
devotion to the country amidst the greatest trials
its institutions have sustained, and by the display
of unsurpassed ability in expoundIhg their nature
and bearing upon all our interests, he has earn
ed q character and secured a confidence in his
wisdom and patriotism which no time can oblit'
crate and no party malice can obscure.
Resolved, That whilst we shall cheerfnlly sub.
init to a decision Of a National Cow ention, we
believe that no other name can be presented foI
the next Presidency, which will meet such
HEARTY response from the democracy Of the coun'
try: that we deem q denomination due to his
signal public services and the principles Of the
party for which he has so long and SO faithfully
struggled.

GoknG and Chicago Ra,lroad.-Ata re-
cent meeting of the Board of dire ctors for
this road, VIM. H. Brown, was elected
Treasurer, and VIM. Larabee, Secretary Of
the company.
The contracts for the compilation Of the
road from Elgin to Belvidere, were ell let
to efficient contractors, atprices below the
estimates.
The iron Trail, weighing ffty-six pounds
to the yard, has been purchased, and will
be delivered in Chicago, at $40 5Operton.
This we believe is at . lower rate than any
iron Of this description he's been purchased
for any road in the United States.
We understand, that it is the intention to
have this road as far as Belvidere, ready
for use within a year from this time. The
efficiency Of Mr.. Turner, as manager, and
OF Mr.. Van Nortwick, as Engineer, gives
good assurance, that everything win bs
prosecuted with vigor. We are reioiced to
see this road reaching its arm towards the
Mississippi. The prospect is now most
cheering, and the fruits of the project will
be felt in country and in town, as being one
oithe most advantageous and most wisely
planned and prosecuted Of any, that hes
yet been known.-rDemocrstic Argus.
