Position Of Gen. Cass.

The Washington correspondent OF the New York
Times says expected that General Cass will be the
administration leader in the Senate. And the firm and
manly tone OF the Detroit Free Press gives an air OF
probability TO the statement Oh course, all there is or
be- in the nature of things in the senatorial leader
ship, is that General Cass will have the entire confidence
of the President and his cabinet, and approving their
measures, be foremost in supporting them,
His long and eminent public services at home and
abroad, larger and varied experience than that OF
any other living American statesman, and the high place
he enjoys in the affections OF the American pcople-al
these circumstances combine make him the most illus
rous OF American senators. and fit him for the conven-
ona position 10 which he will doubtless be assigned by
the unanimous SURFACES of his democratic colleagues.
General Casss warm cooperation will shed lusire
upon General Pierce's administration and il will bring
moral force 10 the aid Of the President and cabinet
which will prove OF the utmost service in enabling them
TO carry out the great measures Of public policy which
destined to sgnaze the ensuing four years OF our
history.
