prOvements.
We ought before this to have noticed an ar
ticle in the Union of Sunday last repelling, in
behalf of General CAss, the estate SANDER" that
the Wines have circulated in regard to the in
reference of the ''noise and confusion" at
Cleveland, with the distinct enunciation of the
Generals opinions on the subject of internal
Improvements.
The substance of the allegation was that
when on his return to Detroit, after receiving
the nomination of the Baltimore convention,
General CAss attended public meeting at
which Judge WooD, on behalf of the Democra-
cy of Cleveland, called upon him to tell the
company whether or not he was opposed to the
improvement of the western rivers and harbors,
and how his administration would behave on
the subject of slavery-and that General CAss
declined to reply, on the ground, among others,
that the ssnoise and confusion" would not permit
him to be heard.
estate SANDER" and charges the Republic with
circulating it, Notwithstanding ii has been de-
MED and disproved; suggesting, further, that the
Republic will probably repeat it whenever it
suits its purposes without regard to its refuta-
tion.'
With the view of "vindicating the truth Of
history" Judge Woop, now Governor WooD,
has been called to the stand, and has written
the following letter on the subject. which we
publish, for the purpose Of doing entire Justice
to General CAss:
Executive OFFICE, COLUMBUS, Jan. 81, 1881.
\. GENTLEMEN Your favor of the 2sth instant
came duly to hand last evening, on the subject II
that stale SANDER, the speech Of General Cass Mt
Cleveland in 1913, as reported in the Herald, and
requesting my recollection Of 1t, and the order in
which it occurred ~
In justice TO myself, must say, at the time ofthc
reception of General Cass at Cleveland, had not
read his letter accepting the nomination for Presi
dent, opportunity would have been given for
the prvrse and silly version of his spccch which
was published in the Herald on that occasion.
The speech attributed TO the General, that there
was $50 much noise and confusion" that he could
not be heard in answer to the particular subjects
ofriver and hsrbor improvements, and the estcn.

We find, in the New York Herald Of the
oath, full report of the letters and speeches on
the occasion Of the birthday festival at New
York. They are extremely interesting, not
only from the sentiments Of patriotism and at
tachment to the Union which breathe in them
all, but for their historical information, the va
rious lights in which similar topics are pre-
scented by different orators, and for numerous
passages of high oratorical power.
Mr.. KErcHuM's opening address, though it
seems to be only reported in part, appears to
have been received with great APPLAUSE fact
much to thecredit of the audience as the orator.
1t was full Of hearty and manly devotion TO the
Union, and, in its historical views, peculiarly ap-
propriate to the occasion and the place in which
the celebration was held. Mr.. EvERErr's ad-
dress shows that while the statesman has ma
tured, during the years in which he has been
withdrawn from the arena of local politics, the
glowing fire of the orator is not quenched. DIR.
Cox and Mr.. GIRARD spoke with their accus-
toned wit and point, and were repaid by loud
applause.
MIR. FooTE's Grafton was most able produce
ton, showing great historical range, mind
imbued with. classic associations, and heart
devoted to his country and to mankind. The
letters from the PRESIDENT, and from Messrs.
WEBSTER, CLAY, CAss, and BUCHANAN, are
worthy Of the high name Of the several writ
ers. The occasion seems to have produced a
flood of rich thought and powerful emotion,
all colored by the spirit appropriate to WASH
INeToN's birthday; and which, in being diff
fused over the whole country, cannot fail to
bring the hearts Of the people more into unison
with his example and his precepts. Ifanation
is to be united in a common bond, what cement
can be more certain to ensure their happiness
than veneration for WAsHINGTeN2 @

Caucus.

It is rumored that caucus of the Democratic
members Of the Senate was held yesterday
morning, Dr. STURGEON, of Pennsylvania, in
the chair, to take into consideration the dis
tressed state of the Democratic party in relation
to the Harbor and River bill. The conjecture
is, that the formal warning given by Mr.. RHErr
the other day in the Senate, that he had de-
SPARED of ever bringing the Democratic party
back to Democratic principles, and that they had
all, or most of them, gone over to Mr.. CLAY,
has alarmed the Presidential aspirants Cf any
among the Democracy; and that they are anx-
ious to see if they cannot get on some ground
with regard to this subject that is not cracily
WING ground, and yet that is SO much like it
that it will give the country the benefit of
WING principles, and relieve the Democratic
party from the odium Of supporting them.
The grounds of the PRESIDENT and the
WING party Gas body) on this subject are
thus defined in the annual message Of Mr.. FILL
MORE:
az entertain no doubt Of the authority of
Congress to make appropriations for leading
objects in that class Of public works comprising
what are usually called works of internal inn
| provement"
"In fulfilling our constitutional duties, fell
9 low-citizens, on this subject, as in carrying
into effect all other. powers conferred by the
Constitution, we should consider ourselves as
celebrating and acting for one and the same
country, and bear constantly in mind that our
regard and our duty are due, not to a particu-
{ lar part only, but to the whole.
al therefore recommend that appropriations
be made for completing such works as have
: been already begun, and for commencing such
others as may seem to the wisdom OF Congress
to be Of public and general Importance"
1t is rumored-and rumored among persons
who ought to be well-informed--tha it was
solemnly settled in Democratic" caucus yes

by amendments Of addition, as the amount APP
propriated is to be denounced as extravagant
and enormous, but by amendments Of subtrac-

In the Senate yesterday the bill limiting the
liability of ship owners, and the Naval Pension
bill, were passed. A joint resolution directing
that sword be presented to the nearest male
relative Of the late Major Ringgold was ordered
to be engrossed. After debate on bill provid-
ing for survey of the public lands in Califor-

The House Of Representatives were engaged
in the consideration of the Army Appropriation
bill, and it was reported from the Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union with
amendments.

From HAYrI.-Letters from Cape Haytien to
February 7th, received by firm in Boston, state
that the sloop Albany had arrived there from
Havana, to look into the matter Of the arrest and
detention in prison Of the captain Of the American
brig Leander, on an unfounded charge of SNUG
Cling. The authorities had acknowledged the jus
tico of the claim for damages, and agreed to pay
the sum demanded, three thousand dollars, but
this promise was only verbal one. Captain Plntt
said he should despatch statement of tho matter
70 Washington, and ask leave TO return and en-
force the payment If il was not before voluntarily
made. The authorities at Cape Haytien had visit
ed Captain Plat, on board the Albany, and were
much pleased with their reception. The Albany
sailed the 9th, on her return to Havana. Coffee
was scarce, and American provisions were plenty.
