A NsbIe speech from Gen. Cass.

Gen. Cass, presided at a great Union
meeting beId in Detroit on Thursday last.
We make the following extract from bis
speech
l cannot take this seat without contrast
ing the situation in which now find N.Y.
self and that in which was placed on
this very spot almost fifty years ago.
Then in the days of our weakness, We
were subjected TO dishonorabIe capitulation
brought about by the imbecilty of the
leader; while now in the days ofour stren'h
neither treason nor weakness can perma-
nently y affect the holy cause to which all
hands and hearts are pledged. Applause
Then our contest was legitamate war
waged with foreign foe; our wnr to. day
is domestic one, commenced by and
bringing in its train acts which no right
feeling man can contemplate without most
painful regret. But few short months
since, and We were the first and happiest
nation on the face of the globe. In the
midst Of this prosperity, without single
injury at home, caused by the operations
of the Government, to affect us, this glori.
Gus U aion, acquired by the blood and sac
rfices of our fathers, has been disowned
and rejected by portion of the States
composing it,-Union has given us more
blessings than any previous government
ever conferred on mau.
Here, thank God its ensign floats proud
y and safely, [applause, and no Ameri-
can can see its folds spread out to the breeze
without feeling a thrill of pride at his
heart, and without recalling the splendid
deeds it has witnessed in many bloody
contest, from the day Of Bunker's Hill to
our time. [applause And that flag your
worthy Mayor has, by the direction Of the
municipal authority, hung out upon the
dome above us. The loyal American peo-
pie can defeud it, and the deafening cheers
which meet us, testify that they WiN defend
it. [Applause. A stern determination
to do so is evinced by the preparations and
patriotic devolions which are witnessed
around US, and by the echoes which are
brought here by every wind that blows.
You need no one to tell you what are
.he dangers of your country, nor what are
your duties to meet and avert them.--
There is but one path for every true man to
travel, and that is broad and plain. 1t
will conduct US, not without trials and
sutferiugs, to peace and to restoration of
the Union. Ho who is not for his country
is against her. (Applause.) There is no
neutral position to be occupied. 1t is the
duty OF all zealously to support. the Gov
erninent in its efforts to bring this unhap-
py civil war to speedy aud satisfactory
conclusion, by the restoration, in its integ-
ri'y, Of that great character bequeathsd to
us by Washington aud his co,npatriots.--
His ashes, humbly trnst, will ever contin-
ue to repose in the lowly tomb at Mount
Vernon, and in the United States OF Amer
len (applause) which he loved SO well, and
did 20 much 10 found aud build up. Man
ifest your regard for his memory by follow
ing each with the compass of his power,

he left it, by devoting heart, mind, and

There is very little excitement here, but
a great difference OF opinion; some Union

disunion sentiment is about equal. The

Trade with Western Michigan.

Since the Detroit and Milwaukee steam
ers have been running between Milwaukee
and Grand Haven, reciprocal local trade
between the cities and villages Of western
Michigan and this city has sprung up,
which would otherwise have gone to Chi
cago or Detroit. Last year this trade
showed great increase over chat of 1859,
and il is believed that the season about
to open will show still greater increase
over that in 1860.
From March LIST TO December 3lst,
1860, the whole amount of merchandise
sent by Milwaukee houses to Others on the
eastern shore of Lake Michigan, by the
Detroit and Milwaukee steamers, was sir
hundred and sirty-seven tons, consisting
mainly of dry-goods, shoes, groceries,
hardware, DC. In return for these, in adj
dition TO the cash, Milwaukee received
sirteen hundred and twenty tons, consist
ing of -four, fish, fruit, plaster, DC.
The whole amount of freight carried on
the Detroit aud Milwaukee steamers dur
ing the period above named was eighteen
thousand tons.
The steamer Detroit, which ran during
the whole season, made 205 trips, cross
ing 4lo times, and travelling upwards Of
$4,000 miles.
In addition to this steam traffic, n large
amount of merchandise and machinery
are sent to Michigan on lumber vessels,
returning, the precise amount of which
we cannot ascertain.
The counties along the western shore
of Michigan have mostly trebled their
population within the past ten years, as
the census shows, so that there is a good
prospect for a largo increase of trade from
this direction.
Advertising has undoubtedly done
much towards opening this new avenue Of
trade, and our merchants have done we'll
to make themselves known through this
medium.
Up to the starting of these steamers,
Chicago enjoyed a monopoly of the trade
Of western Michigan. But tits now be.
ing moro fairly divided between that city
and Milwaukee. 1t will, of course, re-
quire an effort to turn trade from its long
accustomed channel, but the facts above
quoted, show that Milwaukee is already q
successful competitor, and that the efforts
made by advertising and fair dealing need
only 10 be continued and increased in or.
der to secure to our city a still larger ami
of Michigan trade.
The Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad
steamers are expected TO resume their reg
ular trips on or about the first of Marcel
next, and we would recommend those
who wish TO avail themselves Of this trade
to be early with their business announce
ments, so as TO secure the first orders o
the season.-Ma. Sentinel.

THE PLAN.

The Plan of Adjustment submitted 10
the Peace Convention by the Conference
Committee Of that body docs not differ
very materially from the Kentucky plan
presented by Mr.. GUTHRIE.
1. 1t disposcs of the Territorial slave,
ry question on the basis OF tho Inc OF
SO :3O-prohibiting slavery in all terrific
nv north of the line, and permitting the
taking of slaves into all .terrltory south
of the line and holding them there during
the Territorial condition according to the
laws of tho State from which they came
and providing for the admission of States
on either side Of the line, with or with
out slavery, as their constitutions shall
determine, whenever they shall have pop
ulations equal to the Federal ratio of rep
resentation.
Q. Territory shall be acquired only by
treaty, and tourJtths Of all the members
of tie Senate shall be required to ratyy
treaty for the acquisition of territory.
8. Congress shall not abolish or con-
troll slavery in tho States where it exists
by law; nor in tho District of Columbia,
without the consent of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and without the consent of the
slave owners in such District, and with
out compensation to such owners; mol
shall it interfere with nor prevent the
bringing Of slaves into the District by
members Of Congress or others; nor shall
it abolish slavery in places within the OK
elusive jurisdiction Of the Federal Gov
eminent in States where it exists by law
nor shall il interfere with the interstate
slave trade.
A. The fugitive slave clause Of the con.
stitution shall not be construed TO prevent
the States from enforcing the delivery Of
fugitives.
5. The foreign slave trade is forever
prohibited.
G. The first, second, third and fifth o.
these articles, and the articles of the con
stitution respecting fugitives and the ba
sis of representation, shall not be amend
ed or abolished without the consent of al
the States.
7. The United States shall pay to the
owners of fugitives who shall be rescued
by violence the full value of such fugi
tives.
Such is the substance of the PLAN
We declare that it is just, fair and right
and that il ought 10 be accepted, Nortl
and South, as final settlement of the
present difficulties and of tho slavery
question forever. In the light of com
promise, slavery comedies more than anti
slavery, and both slavery and anti-slaver.
can agree 10 it without humiliation o
sacrifice. We mean the anti-slavery, o
course, which does not denounce the con
stitution rs "an agreement with hell"
But intelligence from Washington doe
not furnish ground for hope that the re
publican leaders will accept it. They ar
bent on rule or ruin. They are resolves
that the Chicago platform shall prevail
though the Union do pcrish.-Det. Fire
