Gen. Cass and Cen. TavIor.

Horace Mann says: 1t had been said that
the doctrine of Gen. Cass and that of General
Taylor, on this subject, are identical; but there
is this all-important difference between them:
General Taylor maintains the right of Con-
gress to legislate for the Territories, and will
doubtless approve any bill for the prohibition
of slavery in them; but Gen. Cass, denying
this right in Congress, would, if President
Veto such bill He, therefore, would leave
the territories open to be invaded and possess
ed by slavery, and in Southern law and prac-
tice. possession is more than nine points.
We commend this to those who love the ne
groes so much and the truth so little that they
go about pretending that Gen. Cass and Gen.
Taylor both stand alike on the question. No
man ofrespectable comprehension can fail to
see that the difference between them, is as
Horace Mann says-"aU important" and con-
sequently every man of ordinary intelligence
who is caught in the attempt TO palm upon
others the belief that there is no difference
should be without further question branded as
q knave. State Journal
