A Little Cloud.

We give the following as we find it in
western contemporary. The circumstance, if
true as stated, is not without significance at
the present moment:
WHAT DOES 1T MEAN I'VE learn, upon good
authority, that General Cass on Wednesday gave
dinner to some of bis political friends, but that
for some unexplained cause, he neglected to send
inhalation to Senator Douglas. What docs it
mean? We also learn that during his speech in
the afternoon he referred go frequently to the
charge of "Old Fogyism" which Douglas had pre-
ferred against him, that the "Young Giant" who
was sitting by his side left the stand with signs of
marked, displeasure. The little evidences of ill
feeling and Jealousy amongst our opponents are
much to be regretted, if not really distressing.
Detroit Tribune.
The Buffalo Commercial advertiser, which
also notices the occurrence, remarks:
"The circumstances were communicated to US
directly after their occurrence; but they were 90
nearly private in their nature, that did not feel
at liberty to make them the subject Of public re-
mark. The omission to invite Douglas is sig
nifcant and rather curious fact. General Cass is
thorough man of the world, au fait in all the
comities Of social intercourse, with views 30 liberal
and enlarged as to place him above the petty in
huences of party associations. He would not omit
to offer the inequalities of his house to gentleman
because of any merely political difference. The
slight to Douglas is therefore the pointed, and
imports feeling of bitterness and detestation too
strong to DO overcome by any considerations of
policy. We regard it as proper and becoming on
the part of General Cass thus to manifest his self
respect and his sense of Douglass insidious and
unhandsome course in the preliminary canvass for
the Presidency. Douglas protested the warmest
friendship for the General, while he was hard at
work with Young America trying to circumvent
him."

WISCONSIN, - Election Of Judge.-If the news
which we get from Wisconsin by telegraph be sus
tanned by the official accounts Of the election 1t il
a most significant and important sign. The tele-
graph announces the probable defeat Of the regular
nominations of the Locofoco party for Judges Of
the Supreme Court, by what 10 termed the Inde-
pendent ticket. The regular Locofoco ticket was
composed Of Charles H. Larrabee for Chief Justice,
and Adam D. Smith and Samuel Crawford for As.
sociate Justices. These nominations were made
in full convention and after the most approved
usages of Locofocoism. They were supported by
every Locofoco paper in the State, and expressly
on party grounds. Afterwards another conven-
ton was held, by which an independent ticket was
nominated. composed of Edward v. Whitton for
Chief Justice, and Marshall M Strong and James
II. Knowlton for Associate Justices. This ticket
was supported "by Wings, with the aid of few
disaffected Democrats" (the Wisconsin, n Pierce
paper says,) for tho "purposo Of defeating the
Democratic ticket" The THisconsin pretended to
have no apprehension of the result, but entreated
the partisans of Pierce to vote for the regular and
denounced those who supported the independent
nominations. All would not do, however. The
Pierce men had not strength enough in the State
to carry the election, according to the telegraph
reports, and just so sure as they have failed now
they will fail in November. Pierce has not half

cofoco ticket for Judges, and were defeated. Tho

H E REP u BLIC
General Pierce ON the Catholic Test.

A letter addressed by General PIE RcE to
Mr.. c. O'CoNoR, Of New York, is published
by the Democratic journals as settling for
"ever his position in regard to the New Hamp-
shire Catholic test. In this letter General
PIERCE referred to the test as an "odious fea
ture" Of the State laws, and expressed belief
that the vote of the State which had just been
The organs point to this brief epistle as
proof positive Of the falsity Of the charges
against General PIERCE upon this question.
The New York Herald gave the cue, and the
Washington Union and its friends have fol
lowed. They argue, in substance, that the
letter having been written before the nomina-
ton, must be received as conclusive evidence
OF General PIERcE's friendliness to Catholic
rights.
The premises do not warrant any such con-
clusion, in the sweeping sense in which it is re-
ceived by our Democratic contemporaries. The
letter indicates that General PIERCE is ashamed
of the test, but 1t does not relieve him from the
accusation that he made no exertions to repeal
1t. He admits that it is disgracefu to the State,
but he fails to say any thing that can suffice to
remove the allegation as to his public indiffer-
ence to the issue. A private note to friend
in New York cannot be received as an apology
for silence upon the question in New Hamp-
shire. The proper inquiry is, did General
PIERCE use his influence to procure an abroga-
ton of the test? There is but one answer, and
1t is unfavorable to him as an individual and as
the leader of party. His party throughout
the State sustained the test; and his only effort
against it was fve-minutes' speech of less
than mediocre quality. With that fact on re-
cord, the note to Mr.. O'CoNoR amounts to
little.

The Democratic Party ON Internal Inn
provemcnts.

The Democratic National Convention intro
duced into their platform proposition hostile
to the prosecution of internal Improvements by
the General Government.
The Democratic nominee for the Presidency
had and has no reputation for Senatorial ser
vice except that which he acquired by his un-
varying opposition to Improvements of this ma
ture in every form.
Democratic members Of Congress, after en-
dorsing an anti-improvement plank, and select
ing an an,-improvement candidate, returned to
Washington, and with Wing assistance passed
bill making harbor and river appropriations.
Southern members of the Democratic party,
and nearly all the Democratic journals in the
Eastern cities, repudiate dfSaction of Congress
upon this bill, and aver that, if General PIERCE
be elected, no improvement bill will pass dur
ing his term of Office. They profess to know
that he is still opposed to measures of the class;
and they maintain that his antecedents, not
less than his convictions, will impel him to veto
bill if it should be adopted by Congress.
Southern Democrats are therefore enjoned to
vote for him as in this respect "strict con-
structionist."
Western leaders of the party, and Western
Democratic journals, maintain, on the contrary,
that liberal system of internal Improvements
will henceforward form prominent feature in
Democratic policy; that General PIERCE,
though voting against certain measures, 10 ia
vorable to the principle; and that his admins
tration will employ its influence to carry the
principle into extended effect. Pamphlets are
circulated under the franks Of Democratic
members Of Congress, calling upon the West
to vote for General PIERCE as the friend of har.
Dor and river Improvements.
Other members of the party admit General
PIERcE's antagonism to these improvements, and
predict that Democratic Congress will no,
sanction appropriations for completing works
that may be begun under the grants of the session
recently closed. They propose, therefore, to
substitute tonnage duties, which will impose
unequal and unjust burdens upon the industry
Of the country, and will render any large
scheme Of national improvement utterly i'm
practicable.
Will our oblgng Democratic friends ex-
plain by what legerdemain they propose to
reduce these contrarieties to consistency, and
to vindicate their party from the charge of
want Of prncipe2
1t is obvious that either the South or the
West is tempered with and deceived upon this
question. The abstract Democracy of one
conflicts with the practical wants of the other,
to an extent and with force quite ncompati-
BILE with ordinary ideas of unity or honesty
There is fraud or trickery amongst the South
ern or Western Democrats. One or the other
is gulled and entrapped, or both are engaged
in playing an unprincipled game for the benefit
Of partisan interests.

LEBANON, October 8, 1859.
DEAR Sin: It is difficult for me at present to
form a correct opinion as to the probable result of
the Presidential election in this Congressional dis.

Wings, but all appear to be determined to do their
duty after State election; that the result OF
the election in this State next Tuesday will be
no indication whatever as to Scott's strength. My
own county will give Scott at least four hundred
more majority than our State ticket; and from the
limited information have at present, this Con.
gressional district will foot up as follows:

possibility Of "church without q bishop" at tho
