DOUGLASS, is significant and rather curious
fact Gen. Cass is thorough man of the
world, 0u fail in all the COMMITTEES of social
intercourse, with views SO liberal and enlarg-
ed as to place him above the petty influences
of party associations. He would not omit to
offer the hospitalilies of his house TO gentle

The slight 10 DOUGLASS is therefore the more
pointed, and imports feeling of bitterness
and detestion too strong TO be overcome by
any considerations of policy. We regard it
as proper and becoming on the part Of Gen.
Cass thus to n anifest his self.respect aud his
sense of Douglass'S inSidious and unhandsome
course in the preliminary canvass for the Pre-
sidency. Douglass professed the warmest
friendship for tie General, while he was hard
at work with Young America, trying to cir

The Effect Of Gen. ScOtt'S Election in
Europe.

EXTRACT FROM LETTER OF AN AMERICAN
TRAVELLER. DATED LONDON, Sept. 6, 1852.
"The Presidential election excites much
interest on this side the Atlantic. From the
sympathizng tone Of the British journals, one
would think that the welfare of England de-
pended upon the election of Gen. Pierce. The
difference between free trade in a country re-
bundant with wealth and luxury, and at the
eliminating point Of its political power, and
protection in young rising nation, with un-
developed resouI ces and future of indefinite
expansion, is not understood by the London
press.
"If the effect of the election of Pierce and
King would be to discourage the growth of
our own industry, and to place US in a tribu-
tary position to arrogant Albion, it would be
as disastrous in a domestic as in foreign
point of view, and would be regarded in Eur
ope as a seville sacrifice If american to Bri-
tish interests. cannot believe that Yankee
spirit has sunk to such base degree of hu-
initiation, and the patriotism of '76 and 1912
is SO utterly extinct that you are now prepar-
ed to surrender all that was then gained BY
the tlood and vaior of our glorious ancestors.
"The last nation TO propitate is England
She is our rival, and can never be firm
friend. Moreover, the feelings of her writers,
statesmen, and people generally, are hostile
to the United States; and there seems to be
a studied effort on their part to represent TO
the world the workings uf our institutions and
our character as a community. There is an
evident design formed in England to drive US
from the position Of rival, and to reduce us
to that of dependent and pupil. Beware lest
American names are unconsiously usedas the
instrument of this selfish ambition!
81 am satisfied that. in the present state of
Europe, nothing could be more auspicious for
the increase of our moral influence than the
election of Gen. Scott His military exploits
are looked upon in Europe as among the
the greatest actions of the age, and had he
been subject Of France or England, he would
have been covered with honUrs and wealth,
and as Scult and Wellington, called to the
direction of the national destinies. Here
much as it is desired, it is hardly considered
possible that such an illustrinus man can be
set aside by discriminating people for Gen
Pierce. as subordinate in capacity as he is in
reputation. The election Of Scott will be es.
termed third declaration of independence
of British domination, and his military energy
will give 10 the American Government such
a tone as it needs in times like the present.
when the great transatlantic Democracy is
capable of exerting potential influence for
the benefit of the human race. God grant
that ynu may be true to Yourselves and the
Republic in this most important struggle"

We have no time to do Justice to the above.
1t is volume in paragraph. For years
Mr. CoRwIN has been hunted by OLDs and

"a committee, majority of whom were Los
cofocos, and Mr.. CoRWIS expressed his wilin-
ness to meet it. But an attempt was then
made by the makers of this false charge to
stare of the examination ill next winter.
The reason Of this was obvious. They wan
ted the charge to eleetioneer on. and feared
an examination would produce unaiisEerable
proofs of MS innocence BGt the attempt TO
s.ave off the trial failed. and the investigation
proceeded. The committee have had all the
means they could desire to get al the truth
in the case; they have bad their own lime.
and the result is, the conviction has been foFc-
ed upon them that Mr.. CeRwIN is BLAME
LESS. This is the verdict that his enemies
have been compelled to render. Never could

This Looks RebelliOus.

The See Bote. leading German paper of
Milwaukee, publishes an exceedingly we'll
written statement of the cause which induces
it to hoist the banner Of General Scott, and
urge his election upon its readers. The fol-
lowing extract will show its spirit:
We know that BY far the majority of the
German Catholics share our views. We SOL
emnly declare that as Christians, Catholics
and Patriots, we feel bound to support Win
field Scott, and to do our utmost to aid his
cause. Franklin Pierce is doubtless a good
hearted, honest man, but the Democratic par
ty. of which he is put forward as the chief.
is undeniably responsible for the Blue Laws
Of New Hampshire, and We do not care to
sustain leader of bigots, even though he
may not subscribe to all their opinions
Winfield Scott is called n NatiSist and Anti
Gathuhc. but these charges are lies and SO
known to be by the men ho utter them, and
it requires more than retracted letter TO
make men believe the contrary. Franklin
Pierce, whatever merits his friends may claim
for him, is compared with Winfield Scott,
whose fame and integrity are emblazoned
over the whole world an obscure individual,
and We can be under no conceivable obliga-
tinn TO assist in his elevation to dignity, for
which chance made him candidate, at the
expense of Hero who owes his nomination
solely TO his desert Rail away, then, ye

hdeiIty, we answer WE WILL fursaks it.
