A VOICE FROM TAMMANY HALL.-We
give to-day some extracts from the speech of
Gen. Cass, delivered at "Old Tammany,"
which come from the gallant old statesman,
a. disinterested evidence Of the great moral
worth of General Scott. Gen. Cass has
now passed the meridian of life, has attained
the zenith ofhis political prospects, and feels
it no longer incumbent upon himself as a
partisan, to oppose political adversares by
eliminating their private character, impeach-
ing their moral worth, or disappearing
their public acts.
Gen. Cass says, "he kao,cs Gen. Scott to
be an honorable man, and that he has written
bis name and his deeds on the brightest pages
of his country's history. His wreath was
fairly won, and will not be one to preventit
rom being fairly worn"
What a. just rebuke to the traducers of this
great and good man! He tells you that il
You say anything different from what he as
serts, It is false. He knows the man; knows
him to be all his friends claim for him; and
whenever you find an honest Democrat whose
political ambition is satiated, and whose hope
and love for "spoils" does not exceed his love
of truth, and suppress its utterance,-you
will find him freely accord to Gen. Scot, I'll
the attributes o. the trne and tried patriot
that Gen. Cass could not repress, even il

THE RErNDEER.-Thc following is the YER
dict rendered at the second inquest held in
Ulster, upon the bodies of the victims to the
Reindeer Disaster:
The jury find that the persons came to
their deaths and wounds by injuries received
on board the steamboat Reindeer, which said
injuries were occasioned by suffocation and
scalding, oecasioned by the explosion Of the
ue-box connection of the after boiler in said
boat-and the said persons futher find thrt
said explosion took place on board said boat
at Maiden, in The town of SAUCER les in said
country, on her passage from New York to
Albany, on the 4th day of September inst, at
a quarter past one o'clo,k p NJ, of said day
while making her landing at said place
The said jury futher find that, from the evil
de ice adduced before them, the exalos;on, in
their opinion, was caused from a defect in
the iron in the exploded part of the said fiue
box connection, and they beieAe that the de-
feet existed at the time of the manufacture
of the boiler, and that said defect was caused
by constant corrosion, and in the opinion of
OF said jury the said boiler has been in great
danger of an explosion for some weeks, If not
months, under an ordinary pressure of steam.
The jury furthe say from the testimony they
cannot fix upon whom the respo visibility
rests of ascertaining such defect as in their
opinion existed in the said fue-box connec-
ton which exploded on the Reindeer, or
whether such defect could be detected bv
the examinations of the Inspectors of Boilers,
as it appears to them from the testimony such
exaGinations are usually made.

A LocoFoco EDITOR CoSFoUNDED-A gen.
tleman who arrived from Philadelphia within
dny or two, informs us that after the passen-
gers had taken their seats in the cars COM
ing West, at the Mountain House. a person
came to the door of the middle car. in which
our in!orma IT was seated aul announced him
self as n Democratic editor, and stated that
he wished to take a Presidential vote, and
requested all in favor of Pierce and King to
rssc up. Altho' the car was full, not a per-
son left his seat. This was ominous, and the
editor very faint y requested the Scott men to
rise. AT once every man in the car sprang to
his feet, and the poor editor mizzled amidst
the laughter and cheers of the delighted Scott
men. lie had enough, and did not trv any
more cars. Poor fellow! he was perfectly

FOrexvarued. Forearm d {.

Our Lake and River Commerce has grown
TO be as essential to the welfare of the people
and the rospe.ity of the country as that of
the Ocean. But the jackson, Van Buren,,
Polk and Pierce parties hold that tie Consti-
tuition discriminates between salt and fresh
water. Wing Administrations find nothing
in the Constitution against policy which
promotes the interests of the irhole Republic.
They, therefore, improve navigable rivers
and construct lake harbors. Their oppo-
nents, however, when they obtain power, sus-
pend these works and sell off the materials
and implements at vendue!
A bill has passed the House of Represen-
tatives making very inadequate appropra-
lions for rivers and harbors. The Richmond
Examiner, it will be seen, consoles itself with
the reflection that should Pierce be elected
he will '.folow the footsteps" of his destruc-
tive predecessors:
"But we have one consolation. This bill
is the first Of the sort that has passed for
long time and it rU be the last for gears at least.
Franklin Pierce will come into power on the
4th of next March. A strict construction
and respect for the Constitution is the Me-
dean law of the Democratic party, and Dir.
PIERCE, besides that general reason, Is
BOUND, by erery idea Of consistency and 6g
ersry act of his career, TO VETO EVERY
BILL LIKE THIS. He WILL Do 1T, if
they are presented to him, JUST SO SURE
LY AS THERE is A SUN IN THE SKY.

Gre0t Men.

Most men are known 10 posterlty, ana es-
teemed by their fellow-men, according to the
part they act in the important events that
transpire during the age in which they live.
Washington made his mark, in successful
campaigns and wonderful military exploits
rs well as great civil achievements, in which
he illustrated the capability of man to gov
ern himself; and put the system into success
full operation.
Napoleon, won an enviable notoriety in
the age and country in which he lived.
Clay, Webster, Cass, Benton, Calhoun,
will leave footprints in the sands of time
more or less creditable to themselves, as their
course of conduct has been more or less
useful to community, and prospectively ben
eficial to posterity. All of these great men
have possessed acknowledged talents; their
craftsmanship discovers depth of penetra-
ton and profound research. rarely equalled-
their labors as legislators, as diplomatists, as
private citizens, have been prompted by the
most: patriotic motives, and crowned with
that need of success, that reasonable am
bition may justly claim as a reward of dis
tinguished, disinterested merit These men
are not Sd much distinguished for the meas
ures they have opposed and defeated, as for
those they have originated and successfully
advocated. Their reputation for statesman
like qualities. is not of the negative but OF
the affirmative kind. Some great deed re-
corded on the page of history, either civil,
military or diplomatic, may be pointed TO
with pride by succeeding generations in con-
nection with these great names. Their
lives have been consecrated to the service OF
their country. They richly deserve the graf
itude of free people, and their memories
will be treasured up in the patriotic bosoms
of all who know and appreciate their worth
