REPORTED RETIREMENT OF GENERAL CAss.
The Detroit Tribune, journal not unlikely
to be well informed on subject of this sort,
publishes the following from a correspondent,
in confirmation of the report that the Secrer
tary Of State is about to retire from an office
which he finds too onerous to him in the
present state of his health :
81 have information from democratic
sources, that Gen. Cass is not expected to re-
main long in the State Department. The
venerable statesman is sinking into the torpor
of extreme old age. The work of the depart
ment is now performed by the President and
Mr.. Appleton, Assistant Secretary. The lat
ter is Disconnected because the salary is not
sufficient. He is dissatisfied, because the en-
gagements under which he took the Union,
were not carried out. The Secretary of State
is failing in memory. He takes no interest in
appointments, that special prerogatve of his
office, and has declined TO have anything to
do with them. This is not so agreeable to the
President as may be supposed, for he would
prefer that the labor and responsibility of de.
Gliding between scores of applicants, OF whom,
alter all, very few are personal friends of his
own, should be shared by his Premier Gen.
Cass has done but one thing since assuming
office, which is the preparation Of the instruct
ions for MIR. Reed, new Minister to China,
embracing an encyclopaedia history of that
empire, and its relations to the United States.
All routine business is transacted by Mr.. APP
pleton, and the larger questions are consider.

IHE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIoN.--The nom
ination of Mr.. Banks by the Republicans is
strongly pressed by the Boston Traveller and
Springfield RepUbiican--two papers under one
control-and is forwarded by the assertion, in
substance, that the general sentiment of the
Republican party points to such a result.
The general sentiment of the press in the
strong Republican counties, however does
not not bear out this assumption, which looks
much ike an attempt to accomplish the pur-
pose OF its orlginators by bold assertion that
lis success is foregone conclusion. We GER
talnly do not like this attempt to forestall the
action of convention which should be COM
posed of men representing the spontaneous
wishes of their constituents uninhueneed by
disturbing influences thrown out by anybody
at Boston.
1t may be that Mr.. Banks is the choice of a
majority of the Republicans of the State if
so, the fact will make itself manifest at Wor-
eester. In the meantime. the Republican Or
gans in the grea Republican County Of Wor-
cester-the spy and the Fitchburg ReUeWe-
show decided repugnance TO him, while, in
Hampshire county, the Gazette and the Cou-
rier demand an out and out Republican NOM
ination-a man affiliated with no other party.
The same feeling is strong in Franklin, and it
is right and manly one.
In view of it, the people should choose their
delegates to the convention of the oath, with
out any regard to any asserted tendencies, ust
as though the convention would be free, on
consultation, to make any choice deemed adj
visabble. Only let the delegates be true and
shrewd men, not liable to be seduced, or trick
ed, or frightened.
Mr.. Banks may be the candidate, anG he
may not he may be placed before the people
in way to command justly the support of
the people, and he may be placed otherwise
before them. 1t is to see that the right thing
is done in the right way that the convention
is to meet or should meet. Let none of its
power be paralyzed by foregone conclusions,
but let it have that freshness from which it
acts, and its nominations will gain popular
enthusiasm Pittsfeid Eagle.

There is one redeeming feature in that
Democratic party; what they do, they do
openly. They never come thus, under the
guise of political friendship, wish the assas-
sins knife under their belt, whetted at o
council of schoms, composed of men who,
like Wilson, Seward 4 Co., have used the
American pqrty for stepping stone, and
then planted the dagger into their YER y
