In Sore Distress.


The Detroit Free Press IS fired with
indignation" at the Richmond Enquirer
for charginr Gen. Coss with going over
70 The abrlltlonlsts. Tie Fee Press has
a thousand times over, preferred similar
charges against a. good democrats as
Gen. Cass, and on no better grounds
but now, since it Is yo1r Bull that has
gored my Ok, it chafes tlke chained ma
MAC. Gen. Cass being an abolitlonist
in the eye Of the South, Of course the
Free Press, which is regarded as his
mouth-piece, falls into the same category
The Free Press does not like to be called
an abolition paper. Oh no, not it. When
some oil the purest democrats and best
democratic papers OF the country stood up
manfulIy for the Baltimore Platform-op-
posed the rc-opcning of the slavery agl-
ta,ion,-opposed the laying Of ruthless
hands upon the compromises Of the
country it answered the purposes OF The
Free Pres to denounce those men and
those papers for aboIitionism. Now, how
ever, when it unexpectedly finds itself in
the same category--i,s rage knows no
bounds. Hear how the Deiroi, Free Press
the abolition Free Press. speaks in
view Of this charge:
The Richmond (Vrginia) Enquirer
can tolerate no expression ol political
opinion that does not swear tia, slavery
is blessed instituton--a great lnstltu-
,ion-a glorious institution the anchor
and hope Of the Republic. ltrequires al
the hands Of statesmen, and dlyInes. and
the press, an endorsement OF the right
fulness, and rightoousness. and useiui-
ness, of slavery; and if,here be default
in any ofthese quarters ii statesman
or a divine, or newspaper, ih'iiaates
tina, slavery is not altogether blessing

Free Press, mind you goes Oil to declare
that the Enquirer has sunk to tie very
lowest estate OF Journahsm-ihat It IS a
monomaniac, and the moutu-pieee ol
rnononauat., aud that is only deserving
of pity, and contempt, and scorn. Ana
then adds:
Gen. Cass desires that the last cord
may be severed which bound him to sueA
fanatical fools-such unmltlgaled asses
as the ENQUIRER represents. lnded, II
h. ever had been bound by any cord to
them, he must have supposed II long age

When the Free Press gets more ht'ntN

poker so savagely by the heated end.
