New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1852-09-04

He then walked into Communism anu
Socialism, which il seems lie don't like
which is unaccountsble in man worth a
Million Dollars, which he has done pre-
yious little hard work for. The General Is
afreid women. under a Socialistic dispense
ton, won't know who are the fathers OF
their own sons, which would be incOnye-
nient; but he must not Judge female yir-
tue (nOr male either) by the standards
which prevail in Washington City.
Gen. Cass does quite right to commend
Christianity to his auditors and denounce
Licentiousness. whether clOaked as So
cislism or otherwise. IL is seldom that
Tammany Hall is put to so good use.
But when lie turns round and says:

himself does want" to do all this, but his
parfu does not, else why didn t the DEM
ocratc Senate pass the Homestead bill !
They had a large party minority, with
Wing and Free Soil help; the bill had
passed the House by a large majority; yet
the Senate would not touch it. Frank
Pierce's immediate Representatives in
Congress Morris and Peaslee) voted
against it; Frank Pierce's special organ
THE Ne,c- Hampshire PatriO) denounced
the bill in unmeasured terms "a gigantic
robbery. When Gen. Cass, in the face of
these facts, prOclaims that 81 tcdnt' Free
Lnnds for the Landless, aud contrasts this
with what the Wings would have, as
aflording reasons for sustaining Pierce
against Scott, he stoops to very low chi
csnery to win votes. If Free Land is a
doctrine of party Democracy, why is a
contrary doctrine respecting the Public
Lands affirmed in the Pierce Baltimore
Platform! Can the party be permitted to
hold with the hare and run with the
hounds in this fashion
Gen. Cass glories in being a Land Re-
former, and not being Socialist. Suppose
there had been no Socialists, where would
ne have learned to be Land Reiormer
The Heralds slouchy report thus pre-
SCENTS the General on another important
question:
The orator then reviewed the question of rrotec.
ton branding il rather stem Of destruction,
a mode of enflchlng mOnOpOlsD AZ the expense Of
iicuural and other Interests
We can't help believing that Gen. Cass
knows better than this, and our witness ia
support of the indictment is Gen. Cass
himself. When he was our Minister at
Paris, under the low duties Of the Com
promise Tariff, he wrote home remon-
stratiDg against such duties and their ru-
inous effects in stimulating excessive inn
portatOns of French fabrics, gewgaws,
&c. His first hackers for the Presidency
were the DickinsOns of Jersey, al
ways Protectionists, though Democrats :;
and they certainly understood him as
agreeing with them. Gen. Cass does not
speak from his own original, unprompted
convictions, but is impeled by party ne
cessity, in slandering the cause of Pro.
lection.
But we weary Of exposing these tricks
of the partisan. Gen. Cass and his CO.
workers have but one string to pull that
serves their turn, and that is the excite
ment Of prejudice against and distrust of
the Wings. They hope to be able to hang
Us by giving us a bad name. The Wings
distrust the People : the Wings want
splendid Government the Whigs con-
slider a National Debt a blessing'-such
are the senseless accusations whereby the
demagogues Of Sham Democracy seek to
secure a triumph-nOt upon fair COM
parison Of our measures and views with
theirs, but by prejudicing the jury against
u before the case is tried. Alas that
man so eminent aud so venerable as Gen.
Cas- should stoop 20 this dirty business!
