amidst the deaening paudits OF the multitude assembled To-
gehe and holding in his hand beautiful hickory Cahe
which the Hermitage the seat OF the amented
Jackson presented Gen. Cass in an eloquent ADDRESS
which we regret the crowded of columns forbid our
giving Gen. Cass responded in patriotic and thrilling
manner and after paying high tribute to the memory OF
his friend and compeer Gen. Jackson, he said:
Sod be praised passed unscathed through the
verest trial have encountered and II we be not
struck with judicial blindness, shall find the career be-
fore us equally prosperous and honorable We yet To-
