The Democratic Review continues to employ
the scalping knife on the heads of the Old Fogy
leaders of the Democracy. The April humble
contains article on the course pursued by Mr.
eass, ir., as Charge d'Affaires at Rome, from
which the following is an extract:

The Baltimore Convention had met and nominated Gen
Cass the latter accepted the nomination and addressed
letter to Mr. Stevenson, Chairman of the Convention
pedging himself again to seek for nomination. or

pubic lie On these distinct TERMS and with this very
PLAN understanding given publicly and voluntarily under
his own hand he resigned his the Senate
before the country as the Democratic candidate in 1897
Having thus saked his continuance in public life on
single issue which the Democratic party then freely ap-
corded him, General Cass inportuned Mr. Polk for the
pontment of his Mr. Cass m to the office of Charge
osttome The indelicacy of the demand and his unwi-
ngness to refuse, panied Mr.. Polk. Should General Cass
nave been elected in 1913 his would have held office
under his protection and shelter Should he have been
elected state OF affairs even embarrassing and in
delicate would have arisen. The triumphant Wing party
could not well dspace the Of their defeated rival and
thus young Democrat entering upon his political career
would have been compelled to shape his conduct and his
policy IN accordance with the wishes of the agonsts
OF his ater throw himself upon their mercv while he
embarrassed them. Mr. Polk felt keenlv the difficulty of
has position but General Cass having pledged his honor
under the circumstances wehave mentioned retire from

an should be given to his to succeed him.
and to obtain the rudiments of foreign and political edu

tuned with generosity than discretion yielded and
the appointment of Cass, Junior before the Sc

THE Senate felt more deeply the indgnty and the EN-.
barrassment which under such appointment such cir

Mr. Cass Junior, under his fathers direction proceeded

FORTH obtained the unwilling to his appointment of
varoas Senator's and finally after much sycophanc bor

WASHINGTON, May 20, 1852.
Sir received your letter of the 18th inst, on
Friday last, and shall proceed to answer it frank
ly and explicitly.
| consider the series of legislative measures,
known as the Compromise, including the fugitive
slave law, as the final adjustment of danger
Gus agitation. which threatened the stability of
the Union; and this view which presented to
the Senate on the 2lst of December last in some
remarks upon the subject, has been fortified
By subsequent events; and hereafter whether
in a private or a private station, I shall ad-
vocate their integrity and their observance And
should the favor of my fellow citizens call me to
the Presidency, should use all the constitutional
and legal means within my power to cause those
laws as well as all others, to be enforced fully,
fairly, and without exception. And so far rs it
might be proper, | should dscountenance all at
tempts to disturb or change the provisions of the
law for the re-capture of fugitive slaves, whereby
those provisions might be rendered less efficient
In carrying into effect the constitutional obligation
upon that subject.
believe that the repeal or an essential modf-
cation OF this law, mparing its efficacy, would
do more to ALLEVIATE the South from the North,
than any event, than allthe events, indeed, which
have led to those sectional differences that have
marked the progress of our history, and which
have happily yielded to spirit of concession and
conclliation Such measure would destroy all
confidence both in the good faith ofthe North ard in
the value, everywhere, of the constitutional guar
antees, and, in my own opinion, would lead inev-
itaby to dissolution of the Union. So believing,
believe it is the duty Of every true American to
hold on to this Compromise, i'll all its parts as he
would hold Oh to those blessed institutions which
have made us the freest the happiest and the
most prosperous nation that the sun of heaven
ever shone upon.

ROBERT G. SCOTT, Esq.-Dear Sir: havhe
honor to acknowledge the receipt of your der
OF the 18th inst, and take pleasure in respd-
ing directly to your interrogatories, especiallas
my answer will only require reiteration of ,y
| well matured opinions which have repeatdy
| been expressed in my place in the Senate amin
the House of Representatives, and to nv conf
| tuents at home.
| While the series of measures known as ,e
Compromise was supported and opposed v
Democratic and Wings Unfortunately, al,
therefore, could not justly be claimed as pay
measures, yet | deemed it my duty, under E
circumstances, to give, in the Senate, a cordl
and unwaverlng support, and immediately up1
my return home, when assailed by my constit.
ents, defended and indicated provisions of eat
and all of those acts, and especially insisted upt
the faithful execution ofthe law for the reclaim.
ton offugitives from labor My opinions upon the
questions haveundergone no change, and sha
deem it my duty, in whatever official position
may be placed, TO exert all legal and constitution
al authority to enforce the honest execution f
those, as well as all other acts passed in purs-
ance Of the Constitution. Inasmuch as the Co
stitution of the U. States provides that g,
person held to service or labor in one State u
der the laws thereof, escaping into another, sha
IN consequence of any law or regulation therei
be discharged from such service or labor, bit
Shall be delivered up on the claim of the pay
to whom such service or labor may be due;' t
became the imperative duty of Congress to PISS
all laws necessary to carry that provision into F.
feet, and no act calculated to render that prof.
sion of the Constitution imperative, or to d.
troy or diminish the force of the existing laws If
its fufilment, Or to impair or obstruct the rigfs
of the citizens of any State under it, can ever l.
celve my approval.
According to the construction I have been i
clined to place upon your letter, the foregoip
furnishes a full and complete answer to all yor
heterogeneous; but the clause in which you e.
quire whether would 'sdiscountenance, by ey-
ry proper means, all attempts to disturb or chang
the provisions of that law whereby those prov.
sions might be made less effectual, - may possibt
be construed to imply that the Executive woul
be expected to influence or refrain the action t
Congress by other means than those enjoined b
the Constitution. Lest my answer may not b
deemed full on this point, it is due to candor )
state that should not feel at liberty in any even,
to use the patronage of the government for til
purpose of influencing the legislative action upo
that or any other subject, but would leave to Cor
gress the independent exercise of its constitution

full measure of responsibility attaching to his az

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Letter from e. G. Scot. Esq.


RICHMOND, Va, May II, 1852.
A short fortnight will scarcely elapse before the
convention Of delegates of the Democratic party,
from every State in the Union, will assemble at
Baltimore to nominate two of our most worthy
and distinguished statesmen to be voted for as
President and Vice President of the nation. Your
name has been associated with the proposed NOM
NATION, and will, most probably, be presented to
the Convention, as it already has been to the
country, for its favor and support. Marked as
has been your past political life, by fear
less frankness and devotion to the great
principles of the Democratic party, I take
leave to inquire of you, should you be nom-
mated by the Convention, and elected to the
Presidency by the people-in your admnistra-
ton of the government will you sustain, and by
every means in your power enforce and have ex-
ecuted IN all their parts, the various acts of Con-
gress constituting what is known as the Compro-
mise, and especially the enactments of that law
relating to the recapture by their owners of fgi-
tive slaves! And, again, whether, should you
be elected President of the United States, you
would discountenance, by every proper means, all
attempts to disturb or change the provisions of
that law, whereby those provisions might be made
less effectual for securing to the people of the
South their constitutional rights in the possession
and enjoyment of their slave property and
should, unfortunately, bill be passed by Con-
gress, modifying or changing, the law referred
to, so as to impair its present valuable enact
ments, would YOU as President of the Republic,
veto any such bill 1t is due to candour to in
form you that reply to this is desired before
the meeting of the Baltimore Convention, and
when received is intended for publication, and
that a copy of this will be sent to every other
gentleman whose name has been mentioned in
connection WITH the nomination.

LETTER FROM JOHN MITCHELL, THE IRISH
PATRIoT.-The Limerick (Ireland) Reporter
says:
''Father Kenyon of Templederry, has just re-
ceived long letter from his friend John Mitchell
The letter was written in December; it affords a
glowing picture of the present position and pros
poets of the exile and his family, who are enjoy
ing the sweets OF domestic happiness in Van Die
mans Land. Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell and their
children are all in the best health; John Martin
is living with them, and his health also is greatly
improved. John Mitchell has taken large tract
of land, which he is farming himself, and which
affords him constant o ccupation. He writes in
high spirits, by means in love with the Wings,
however; and his aspirations for the Liberation of
Ireland are said to be as vigorous and as constant
as ever.'
