cherished desire to keep him back for term or

The Detroit Free Press, supposed to speak the
views of Gen. Cass, has been demonstrating with
the Washington Union upon the course lately pur-
sued by the Pierce organ 1t says:
The other instances to which we shall allude is
interference of the Washington Union in the al
fairs of the Democracy of New York, prior to the
recent election. Two years ago, from an honest
desire to support the administration in all things
we ourselves were co-workers with the Washing
ton Union in sustaining one branch of the De- /,
mocracy Of New York against the other branch

quite able to find justification incur own hearts,

minstration should not have persisted for by it
the section OF the party against which it was di-
rected was arrayed in open and permanent enmity
to the administration, and reunion of the two
sections indefinitely postponed, while no present
object was accomplished We were certainly salts
fed with our experience in meddng with the To-
cal concerns of the Democracy of another State,
and were quite willing to confne ourselves to our
own concerns in future and we had hoped the ad-
ministration and the Washington Union were sat-
At least, it appears the Washington Union was

terventon, but this time against the other section
OF the party in New York, and we are deceived if
the consequence is not that the administration is
utterly without organized support in that State
In l846, the Rochester Unions editor was a
Free-soiler. He edited Freesoil paper. He kept
standing at the head of that paper the following:

ed Edwin Croswell editor Of the Albany Argus,
delegate to the Baltimore Convention
Resotued, That holding to the principle of non
interference with the rights of others in their full
est and broadcast sense, we are opposed TO restric
tions of any and every kind on the action of the
people OF any part of this Confederacy, as to the
disposition they may choose TO make of their prop
erty in settling territory which may be acquired
from Mexico, either by yalor aud blood of Ameri-
can citizens from every part of our common coun-
try, or by treaty for we contend that congress
has no moral right to interpose obstacles to the
settlement of such territory by any portion of
our people, with whatever of their property
[meaning their negro slaves they may see fit
to carry there, nor to interfere with the institu-
tions of such territory"
Garry out the principles of the above, and you
doom Oregon, Nebraska, and Minnesota, as well
as California and New Mexico, to human slavery.
And he stood on the Buffalo platform corner
stone, which ran thus:
Resolution adopted By the State Convention IN

"The Stone which the builders rejected, the

"Resotyed That while the Democracy of New
York, represented in this Convention, will faith
fully adhere to all the compromises of the consti-
tuition, and maintain all the reserved rights of the
States, they declare-siDce the crisis has arrived

The Charleston Mercury is in favor of Pierce's
denomination. But it does not like the Democra-
cy. IL says:

A Nashville correspondent Of the Memphis Bull
letin says that majority Of the late Tennessee De-
mocratc Convention was in favor of Andrew John
son for the Presidency but they thought il mpol-
itic to instruct the delegates to the Nashville Goa
vention to cast their votes for him. and conse-
quently the delegates are left untrammelled. This
failure to nominate him is attributed to the infu-
ence of A. o. p. Nicholson, who, it is well known,
attended the convention for the purpose Of secur-
ing the nomination to Franklin Pierce, and falling
in this, succeeded in having no one named for this
high Office.
The correspondent adds that Gov. A. V. Brown
is the choice of two-thirds of the Tennessee dele
cation TO Cincinnati, and that he is also expected
to get the vote Of the Tennessee, Georgia, Ala.
bama, Mississippi, and North Carolina delegates,
and perhaps the Arkansas delegation.
