Conventions from inscribing the more apostate
names upon their banners. It was the Free Soil
party of the North that held these thunders in its
hands, and if it did not determine whom the Con-
ventions should omlnate; 1t did determine whom
they should not.
cAss WAS NOT NOMINATED.
Why did mot the Democratic party nominate
Gen. Cass For forty years he had stood con-
spicuousy before the country; had served in early
life in military capacity, the northern frontier;
been= afterwards Governor of terrtor now
swarrning with three millions of men Ambassador
abroad, and Cabinet Minister and Senator at home.
Besides he was man of unblemished private life
one who, whatever sinister rewards he may have
expected, never exposed himself to the imputation
of bartering his integrity for "donations ~ re-
puted, and believe justly repufed, to be tenn
perancc man, which fact, by itself, had he been
candidate against a man of known intenperance,
would have given him fifty thousand votes in New

aspirants will do well oheed.g Why was not Gen.

Jackson made him. His talents, with those of Gov
Marcy, of New York, were the salt that saved MIR
Folks administration from putridity. He was a
daring man. In 1S4S, in an official communication
to the French Provisional Government, he boldly
obtruded his counsels upon them for the formation
of their constitution, as though the new Republic
were his pard. Lamartine politely made. a French
bow in return; by saying, as he gave it, he would
not tolerate advice from any other people God ever

he had been even boder in his domestic diplomacy
than in his foreign. His offer to run the Missouri
compromise line through to the Pacific ocean, and
to sacrifice all south of that line the altar of the
Moloch of. slavery, was grand act OF apostacy to
Northern sentiment and to freedom, which brought
the films of death over his eyes. His coup d. etat
was comp de grace. He will be less successful IN
making such Northern platforms than in making

And what was the fate of the Senator from Hi

called the Young Giant--a nickname which his
own friends were silly enough to adopt. l say sill
lv. for every body knows that the common notion
which common people have of ssgiant'' is that of
unnatural and prococors animal development. The
:yery name coniures up images of rowdyish passion
and appetite of nocturaI revels of a sort of wild
obscene force unchastened by the lessons of expe-
rience and untempered by HISTORIAN wisdom. What
was his reward for his implied OF understood offer
of the annexation of Cnba From the four States OF
Massachusetts,, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
he never at any one time, received more than six
teen votes and in fourffths of the baotings he
ceived but five or six. In winning the South he
