CASS.

We published the other day, an uncommonly witty
letter from sn occasional correspondent at Washing
ton, the subject of which was other than Mr..
Senator Cas-. The wit Of this letter tlenchan.,
but it's truth was more 20, and the public at large
laughed at the one and admitted the other But all
the amusement derived from the letter i.sef nothing
TO that afforded by the comments upon it of The
Warrington Union, which, iudicrous they may APP
pear yet seem to be intended in earnest they are as
follows:
"THE NEw. YORK TRIBUNE has again let loose upon
the venerable Senator from Michigan, that brood Of
btll.bouDds who have rung a hideons peal against
every public who does not did its plans Of social
emo political demoraz alton. The atcle in Saturdays
tribune is in It's illusions, 90 irreverent
il its scandals iDeiaby false aud coarse that We
will not lay il before our readers There IS NOT one
man on the floor Of Cor gress, matter bow impreg
mated with prejGoice that will not cast from HIM with
losihing. Nor 10 there one IN either branch OF
that high Legislature, that does not respect the
sged aid viTluous Senator who is made The mark OF
this il human assault The counsel of Lewis Cas-
10 always heard with silence and with attention.
Vigorous il bis thoughts, clear aud chase in the ex
pIesioD of his sentiments constant in all weathers,
in the oscbarge Of his duties be is object Of in
cieasiDg affection 10 his friends, and of Increasing
reverence 70 his opponents. We are not surprised,
however, that such man should awaken the msliy
nifty Of the fell tends that control The NEW YORK
TRIBUNE. He III net unite with them 10 their Do

tnts they have started and the lfdel organizations
they have encouraged, bsye opened all eyes 10 the
dan. er Of their example in fee country. They
pant 10 drive him from the place he sdorns, and
they vail ard gDash Their teeth al his qniet aud
digDifed heroism in the midst of the reckless FAC
tons that asssil him He loves the Union of these
States, and they hate it, He adheres 10 the Constu-

TO divide sro de,troy. The Senator from Michigan
