General CaSs.

General CaSS.
Our opposition to the nomination of the distin
guished statesman of Michigan by the Baltimore
Convention, arises from no factious motives We
are not engaged in the services of any rival aspi
rant for the candidacy, whose fortunes we wish to
promote by depreciating the claims of Gen. Cass,
We are committed to the support of no individual
we have not even given an expression of prefer
ence in respect to the nomination. Any sterling
State Rights Democrat, no matterfrom what quar-
ter of the country, is entitled to and will get our
most energetic support. In expressing an en-
phatc objection to the nomination of Gen. Cass,
we discharge what we deem to be the imperative
duty of every member of the Democratic party.
Consulting only the interests of our party, and
weighing its chances of success in the campaign
of So with Cass for its leader, we protest against
an appointment which we believe will bring upon
it.. as before, inevitable defeat. Less we could
not do consistently with the duty of journal de-
voted to the interests of the Democratic party.
/ We suspect there are not four score men in the
State Of Virginia who do not share our dstrast Of
/ Gen. Cass' availability Certainly nobody has
publicly declared the opinions that he is the stron
gest man of the party Wherefore, then should
we hazard its defeat, by nominating man Of
doubtful availability, when in ranks found
so many -illustrious statesmen, whose past servi-
ces entities them to the highest testimony of ma
tional gratitude, and whose invulnerable public
career, at once dehes the assaults OF foe, and de-
serves the confidence and admiration of friend
The Democratic have entirely discharged every
obligation of gratitude to Gen Cass for his servl
ces, abundant as they in truth have been Fol
more than quarter of century they have re
tanned him in the most exalted offices in the Fed
eral Government, and to fill to overfowing tht
measure of reward due him, they gave him on
chance for the Presidency. Can any man asl
more consistently with proper appreciation o
his own merits Few there are who would no
compound all their claims upon the party for one
nomination for the Presidency.
1t is quite manifest to those who watch attel
lively the signs of the times that if the unbiased
sense of the people allowed free and full ek
! pression that Gen. Cass' name would not be men
toned in the Baltimore Convention--so deep arc
. widespread is the conviction of his unftness fl
the nomination. But artificial public sentimen
can be manufactured, the wishes of the country
! can be thwarted, by political wire workers ant
l every reader of the newspapers must have discW
cred that there is in Washington band of hrelne
letter writer's" engaged in the attempt to effec
the nomination of Cass by misrepresenting th'
+, wishes of the Democratic party. To counter
2 act the Vaccinations of these intriguants, tn
: country Press should speak the honest conviction
: of the country.

What the Ladies Can Do.

"Get out of the way, you young rascals r
This address was made by a gentleman with a
verymperious air and something naval officer-like
IN his costume and manners who was seated in a
handsome open carriage, with a fashionably dress
ed lady BY his side. '.The young rascals'' whom
he thus honored with his notice, were two boys,
ten or twelve years old, dealers in shingle shavings
article much used in this city for kindling coal
fires. The lads were wheeling six or eight bundles
of their commodity in hand cart, and they
happened to meet the gentleman in his carriage in
the part of the street which was obstructed by a
large pile of firewood, which made it impossible
for the two vehicles to pass each other unless
of the drivers should have the complaisance to
draw back .sGet out of the way, youyoung ras-
Gals, said the gentleman in his carriage. The
young single shaving merchants. looked at the
speaker with undisguised establishment, and ne
was obliged to repeat the order before they seemed

streets ?" said le imperious gentleman, very
excitedly ''To sure it is replied the juve-
nile 'who has aight to the streets We are
the majority, twoo one, and the majority carries

man seemed dispoed to be very violent, but OBJ
serving, probablythat the bystanders, who were
numerous, sympahized with the republican party,
he swallowed his wrath and sat silently severa
minutes as if rejecting what course to pursue un
der the perpexmg circumstances. The lady wht
sat by his sidefor the first time, and In swee
and gentle voice she said to the boys: "Willyol

IT is stated that there are thirty -one railroad
projects in the west and south asking of Congress
grants of sections of the public lands. These
thirty-one railroads measure upwards of eight
thousand three hundred miles in extent. If they
could all receive alternate sections of land six
miles in depth on either side of the track Of each
road, the aggregate number of acres would be up
wards of thirty millions. An intelesably large
patch of Uncle Sans territory.
