DOWNFALL OF THE "PILLAR OF PEACE.
Upon one of the highest cliffs which form
the dividing line between Lancashire and
Yorkshire, and which constitutes at that point
the shack bone of England" there was erect
cd in the year lSl4-l5, a tall and massive
column of rock, commemorative of the JOY
which tho inhabitants of those wild districts
felt at the abdcation of Napoleon-a suggcs-
tive memorial of tho blessings which peace
had at last brought to the two countries
which it separated. A large number Of per-
sons subscribed to the cost Of its erection;
and it was called the "Pillar of Peace" A
few weeks since, however, we learn from the
London Times, the people of Landfed were
alarmed by loud noise, as if peal Of thun-
der from the heavens, and, upon looking to-
wards the summit they found that their old
landmark layih ruins about its base. An
omnous accident!

Gen. Cass is universally known and univer-

by those who have opposed his political princi-
pies long and bitterly. Beyond question of
doubt he is now the leading statesman of Amer
lea. He is the sole surviving and only unbrok-
en- one of the four great columns Of the Union
Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Cass. His ca
rcer can be extended but a few short years long,

marks the end of the great and good, and who
will "still live" in the memory of his country

We admit that when Governor before, Barry
did not steal anything from the State, and that
he made tolerably honest executive. But
what did he do to advance the interests of Mich
igan, or what beyond the simple discharge of
his sworn duty? Not thing. But admit he
made one of the best Governors the State ever
had,-which is saying but very itte,-is lie the
only honest man they have in the State, that he
must be trotted out, upon every case Of emer-
gency, to save the sinking cause of his party,
and aid them to cover up their tracks at Lam
sing? Det Trib.
The Detroit Times says:
"We clip the above from the Tribune of last
evening, confident that just such attacks will
strengthen Governor Barry with the people much
more effectually than the warmest panegyric
that his friends can bestow upon him. Cover
nor Barry was State Senator in the early leg
isation Of Michigan, and since then he has been
the Executive of the State for three terms; and
yet, during public career running through ten
years, and Immediately responsible to the
people, the above is the only severe thing
which his opponents can hatch out-unless
it be the Iribune's recent roorback that he is a
Shareholder and the owner of a Southern plant
alton.

From the Hollander.
MIR. CLARK'S VISIT TO HOLLAND.

We had the pleasure of listening to sue
cinct statement from our present Member of
Congress, of some of the leading measures of
the Democratic party which have been adopted
or passed by the present Congress, and their in
huence upon our own interests. AS Mr.. Clark
stated, we are apt to forget our own matters, at
our own doors, in our anxiety about distant and
prospective troubles and dangers. Many do not
seem to recollect that Congress have accomplish
ed anything except the enactment of the Nebras-
ka bill rfr.t.lL .rsra-..
The Democratic party has always advocated
the removal of restrictions from trade and COM
merce. "Free trade" has been one of their
principles, and the whg party (of which Mr..
Walbridge has hitherto been an active men,
ber0 have always stood in opposition to them
on this point.
The grand free trade measure Of the present
administration, which they have carried through
in spite of the opposition, is, the reciprocity
treaty with Great Britain, giving us the free nav
igation of the river st. Lawrence. BY opening
to the trade of the great west, the natural out
let Of all the vast country within the basin of
the Lakes, this treaty breaks up the monopoly
which the State of New York has hitherto held,
ofalmost the entire carrying trade of the West.
We can now, if we choose, load vessel in Rot
terdam and bring it to the mouth of Black Lake
to discharge its cargo Or we can ship direct
from Black Lake to any port in Europe. Is this
great measure of any value! Does the Nieu,oS-
bode know that it has been ratified by that same
Senate, and by those same Senators he despises
so much?
Another measure which has passed the pres
ent Congress is the Graduation Bill reducing
the price of the public lands. We opposed the
homestead bill, because we considered it wrong
in principle for Congress to give away the pub
lie property without consideration. But the
Land graduation bill is not liable to the same
objection. 1t sells the lands for their value,
giving preference to actual settlers. Under
the provisions of this law every man, who has
the moderate sum of twenty dollars, can secure
a homestead, in this land district. Under the
operation Of this act, the woods are filled with
land lockers, and the land office with purchas-
ers. The township next north from us is being
settled at once.
Is this worth nothing to us? Shall we shut
our eyes to all these great measures, turn our
backs upon those who have struggled them thro'
and elect whig to Congress, for fear that the
people of Kansas and Nebraska will introduce
Slavery into those territories? We have no
fears of such a result in this Congressional Dis
trct .ut

elected as the standard bearer to lead the party
on to victory and triumph in the present contest,
YET our support will be none the less enthusias-
tic, and we will faithfully contribute our might
towards the consummation of one of the most
important political achievements ever chronicled
in the history of our State.
ReSolred, That we regard the present elec-
ton one mainly Of Stale Policy, and the at
tempts of the opponents of the democratic par
ty to deceive the people by dragging other is.
sues into the Canvass serves only to distract
and divide their honest efforts to do good, and
