An Important and Intere sting Manifesto.
Below, the reader will find an article from
the Richmond EnqmIrsr of Saturday last
From its tone and various other circum-
stances connected with it, We feel warranted
in the judgment that it was prepared with
himself. At any rate, it places him in posi-
ton with which all considerate Southern
Members Of the Democratic party will not fail
to be satisfied. In the only position, indeed,
in which the power Of his administration can
bo effective for the successful protection of tho
rights CT the South in the Union. That can
not be done by its Identification with the plans
or views Of those who desire to have the Ex
ecutive branch of the Government adopt sec.
tional policies which have not been incorpo.
rated into the political faith of any portion of
the Democracy Of the Union, and arc held dis.
tinctly, by those who do hold them, as views
s-t.rely independent of party politics. We
r,peat, we have every reason to look on this
article as practically emansting from Mr. Blu
slanan himself, and feel assured that in tba
. lItt III WulCu bDc COutu SUSTAINED dim tina
lac contest, it will demand Of his administrs.
ton nothing further than the ful6lmen, of the
pledges of his letter of acceptance of the Gin.

Hon. Lewis Cass.

No special result of the recent election
affords more occasion for real regret to the
public mind, than the fact that the tri-
umph of the Black Republican party in
the State of Michigan will eventuate in
the ousting of Hon. LEWIS CAss from his
seat in the Senate of the United States.
Mr.. Cass is one of the last and strongest
links in the chain which binds the de-
generate Present with the powerful and
glorious Past However much his politi-
cal opponents may have differed with him
in matters of public policy, We imagine
there are very few men who viii be an
willing to accord to him the mead Of praise
as possessing an enlarged and compre-
hensive and lofty and patriotic devotion
to the honor and rights and interests of
this nation. 1t may be well in this con-
nectiOn to reproduce the following proud
tribute to the worth of this distinguished
gentleman from the lips of Daniel Webster
In paper entitled Daniel Webster's Social
Hours, which appeared sometime since in
Harper's Magazine, Mr.. Webster is repre-
sented as saying, after speaking in highly
complimentary terms of Mr.. Rusk, of
Texas:
at is impossible for me to feel the least
ascerbity towards such men as Rusk, Cass,
Foote and Dickinson. We have stood by
each other in time of great moment to
myself as aeeU Of danger to the union Of
these States, shoulder to shoulder. I can
nerer forget or refuse to acknowledge their
important and rital aid"
Gen. Cass, in retiring to private life,
will carry with him the best wishes of all
good and true men of all sections of the
country.

The Weather.

Our exchanges generally seem to be
felicitating their readers in view of the
delightful weather with which they are
blessed. We can also congratulate our
selves upon as beautiful a season as ever
robed the earth in the glories of Autumn.
1t is like second spring; and but for the
falling leaves, the bird songs, that float to
our ears upon breezes as balmy as ever
famed the loose waving tresses of Aurora
upon May morning, might veil cheat us
into the belief that nature was greeting
the dawning of the young year with her
fresh, pure orisons. But for all this,
'Heaped in the hollows of the grove
Ihe withered leaves lie dead :"
And when we turn our gaze from the
azure glories of the upper skies to the
russell mantle that wraps old Mother
Earth, we feel indeed that upon all sub
iunary things is written the Legend which
forever speaks to the heart of man
Passing away. passing awayn
