mr.. Fillmore and Cen. Cass.

We observe that several of the Southern
Wing papers regard Mr.. FILLMORE as candi-
date for the next Presidency. This must pro-
coed from their ignorance of his opinions. The
Albany Evening Journal, the organ of Mr..
FILLMoRE's party in his own State, contains
the following information, from which the in
ference is conclusive that Mr.. FILLMORE can
not possibly be candidate, unless he intends
to destroy aour only security against heGchery
and inordinate ambition"
ain l842, Mr.. Fillmore wrote very strong
letter in denunciation of John Tyler Among
other things he said he regarded Tyer's con-
duct as ian additional proof that our only secu-
rlty against treachery and inordinate ambition
IS found in the one term principle. That takes
away all inducement in the Executive to use his
power to secure reelection"
And, as Mr.. TYLER was elected precisely as
Mi. FILLMORE, the case is precisely in point.
We observe also, that a number of Demo.
cratic papers in the North, and the Washington
Union here, frequently refer to General CAss
as candidate for the next Presidency. Ofcourse
the provincial presses have many excuses for
their ignorance. The mails are very irregular,
and the telegraph is often out of order. AS for
the ignorance Of the Union, il is the result If
the Absence Of the editors, one in Prussia, the
other in the Sandwich Islands, at the time Gen.
CAss was nominated in lS4s, and when in his
letter of acceptance he said:
That no circumstances can possibly arise
which would induce him to consent again TO be
candidate for the Presidency"
We protest, therefore, on behalf of Messrs.
FILLMORE and CAss against the conduct of their
indiscreet friends, who in supposiEg these two
gentlemen capable of accepting nominations
now, virtually impute to them willingness
to violate principles and pledges of the most
essential and specific character.
Both of these gentlemen are in danger of be-
ing ruined by the indiscretion of their friends.
But We shall save both of them, IL we can.

DEAR Sri have just finished the persual
of your m sterly address to your late constitu.
ents, and cannot refrain from expressing TO you
the high satisfaction it has afforded me. 1t is
triumphant refutation of the VILE FLANDERS
which have been propagated, respecting the mo
tives of your conduct in the peculiar circum-
stances in which you were recently placed. You
may safely commit your cha ract,r to the judg.
ment Of your countrymen, and of posterity.
They will not fail to award you full justice. |
must ask your indulgence for this almost inrol
untary tribute to your claims and services, so
strong is the impression which your appeal has
made upon me, that ! could not restrain this
expression of my feelings.
With warm regard, am, dear sir, "
Sincerely yours,

send you herewith a copy Of a letter, written
by Gen. Cass to Henry Clay, in 1925, when the
fierce Democracy were hunting Henry Clay
down, for his bargain with John Q Adams. 1t
was noble act of Cass to take such stand
against the sentiments and charges Of his own
party; and, although it has been preserved as a
profound secret, and probably the re.appoint
ment of Gen. Cass, as governor of Michigan,
under Mr.. Adams administration, when Mr.
Clay was secretary of State, was owing to it.
still that does not detract from the clear and
upequivocal sentiments Of Gen. Cass. written
at time when the entire Democratic press of
the country were aboring to fasten on Henry
Clay corrupt barter and trade, by which Gen.
Jackson was cheated out of the Presidency, and
the State of Kentucky DISTINGUISHED, land Henry
Clay made the premier of the second Adams
