The Plain Dealer glories over the follow
ing words from General Lytls's speech
and affects to find in them warrant fo1
considering their author a believer in the
doctrines Of the Vsllandigham party
"I1 will be for you to see, that the pow
ers Of the Government are restricted to
their lawful and appropriate channels,
that each State has its full and perfect
rights under the Constitution"
Now read the whole speech as published
in our columns this morning and see how
this contemplate political pettifogger has
tortured the meaning of the brave Lytie.
Read the words Of burning scern and fiery
Indignation with which he condemns the
men of the Plain Dealer persustiOn, and
then have pity upon the poor callOused
fool who can dare thus to deseerate the
glowing patriotism of the noble dead.

The following paragraph is going the

The venerable General Cass has no fear
Of calling things by their right names. In
recent letter he says:
The Jacobins and Radicals, who are the
leading spirits of the party in power, seem
quite as intent on destroying our civil
rights as in whipping the rebels into sub
jectisn."
The Philadelphia Press says that this is
forgery in 50 far as it processes to have
been written by the venerable Lewis Cass.
It ssys the Cass who wrote the above is 3
Pennsylvsnian whose name is used by the
cOpperheads to deceive voters.
