Joshua's anxious mind, you would do great
kindness to your old friend,
MAJOR JACK DOWNING.
Unworthy OF Gen. Cass.
Gen. Lewis Cass made party speech ut Cleye-
land some days since, when, amid considerable
'snoise and confusion" the following colloquy
occurred between him and Mr.. Geo. Witherell, a
Scott Democrat:
"Mr. Witherell asked if he (Gen. c. was &C
quainted with Mr.. Pierce in Congress General
Cass said, Yes no; not much; but he knew the
man now Mr.. w. asked if Mr.. Pierce did not
vote against all appropriations for river and har-
Dor improvements. Gen. Cass admitted that he
did; but that he did so as the representative of
New Hampshire, which State was opposed to that
policy"
Now, Gen. Cass knows-he could not help
knowing-that the opposition to river and harbor
improvements evinced by Representatives of
New Hampshire, is entirely confined to his oaon
party. The Wing and Freesoil members from that
State have uniformly 1--WE cannot remember an
exception) voted for and warmly sustained such
improvements. They did so at the late session
of Congress, as also at the preceding session,
Feb, March, 1867 when the river and harbor
bill was deliberately talked to death by loco
foco minority, in obedience to the fat of secret
caucus. No members are more liberal toward
improvements III tHS NeSL tuHH lie wings lIUu
New Hampshire while Frank Pierce & Co. have
steadily and bitterly opposed them. 1t is not
the State, therefore, but the party that opposes
such improvements, and Gen. Cass should have
stated the truth.-N. Y. Tribune.
