Cas asd His Principles. We copy inanl

another column from the Louisviile Journal, a short and correct as far as it goes history of Gen. Cass, the nominee of the Baltimore Locofoco Convention for President. . We hate been so much engaged since' the nominations have been known that we hare not had time to say a word about them ourself, but we shall take the "opportunity soon. In the meantime we agree with the Louisville Journal and adopt it suggestion, as follows: "There are very many honest men in that party, and we appeal to all such to pause before raising thejr voices in fu ror of Lewis Cass as a candidate for the Pre sidency. It may be that at present they know little of him, and, if so, let them not commit themselves to his support until they know him more thoroughly. Let them scorn to follow blindly the course of their would-be leaders. We hare attempted to give them, in our piper of to-day, a brief sketch of the political biogf-a phy pt the nomine of their convention, and we assure them, that, upon investigation, they will find that this sketch, though exceedingly imperfect, is strictly true in every particular. Nay more, they will find that we have not al luded to one-half or even to one-fourth of the disgraceful incidents in the Michigan Senator' most infamous political history. They will find, that, in less than five weeks from the present time, expositions will be made that will render him utterly contemptible in the es timaiion of every honest and, high-minded man in the United States. Did we not fully and confidently believe that there are thousands of Democrats in our State and tens of thousands in the Uuited Slates who will trample in scorn upon the nomination of Gen. Cass for the. Presidency, we should feel infinitely less confidence than we now do in the glory of our country's political destiny. Wool. We take the following article in regard to the state of the wool market, and the probable prices for the ensuing season, from the Philadelphia Prices Current, of the . . . , , 20th inst. The writer appears to underhand his i.ubject, and we commend his remarks to the careful perusal of those of our readers who r i ;.--t.i : tt.'. i . u r .. may feel interested ,u this branch of trade: In our article of last year on this subject, we expressed the opinion that the price ofl wool would be somewhat higher than they general course of business, we believe prices! will rule lower this year than last; perhaps as low as they were in 1840.

American Securities. rA rery general idea

in commercial circles in the United States is. that the unsettled state of Europe will drives rery large amount of money to this country for investment capitalists all oyer this conti nent as well as in Great Britain, with revolutions impendjng over their heads, making ev ery exertion to realize thsir surplus means, with the intention of investing them in aland whose political institutions are stable. - Among the extracts irotn English newspapers received Dy the steamer Cambria, which we find in our eastern exchanges; is one from the London Daily News, bearing directly upthis subject, which we commend to public attention. It takes a different view from the one commonly held in the Atlantic cities: The New York papers, by the United States packet, at Liverpoo., speculating upon toe general disorganization of governments and credit in Europe, flatter themselves and their readers ' that in. consequence there must be a rush of all European i-apital into the Union for investment in American loans, stocks, and shares of every description, because in the Re public alone are to be found those conditions ol security and order whicn must be wanting in the old world for person and property. The Secretary of the Treasury would seem to be partially also of the same opinion, if in thai sense may be interpreted his inte'ution tu put up, by advertisement, the loan for 16,000,000 of dollars recently authorized by the Le&isla ture, for holdings jfy Europe, iq this capital at least. It is somewhat strange, however, that with such convictions if convictions they are, the capitalists and moneyed classes of the United States do not themselves eagerly compete for and monopolize a loan of an amount too mod erate to be unmanageable, and which to their thinking, if sincere should be so readily uispo sable in Europe, most eagerly contended for indeed, at such premium profit rates as they might be content with. It may chance, nevertheless, that eorernment journalists, and the American public will fiud themselves wide of their reckoning in the matter. There are no such masses of capital lying waste in Europe, with owners - T i. . t -a . anxious to risk them across the Atlantic, as they are pleased to imagine European capitalJ! have disappeared in the wreck of re vol utions, financial recklessnesses, and industrial 80cjai disorganization. Capitalists, whosenumber almost was legion, have disappeared with .These vast capitals were mainly erabarked in values represented br public, and of no intrinsic worth DUl what such credit commanded in the open market. Tako the public debt of France, embracing with Treasury bonds and the general debt of depots and consigna compromised as chief creditors of the State? That debt, and those government securities would be vastly exaggerated at the rate of DO per cent, upon their nominal value now.

The Locoroco Nomination. Of the candi-i

dates presented to the Baltimore convention! the most prominent in its favor were Cass, Woodbury, . and Buchanan. oodbury acd Buchanan were early supporters of Gen. Jack son, but Cass was in favor of John Q. Adams until Gen Jackson teas tltcttd. Cass then im mediately came over to Jackson and saved the office of Governor of the Territory of Michigan nd Indian ageut held by him previous to the election. The Democratic convention hare preferred as their nominee the man who joined their party after it was victorious and in order to save a ha re of the spoils to those who found it weak and assisted by their struggles in making it strong. We hare seen it stated on the authority of Nile 8 Register that Cass was.when ayoung man keeping school in Delaware. a Federalist and that he wore the black cockade. We hare nerer seen this statement denied, but we don't know whether it is true. It is rendered prob able by the fact that Cass s father tea an old Federalist. Would it not be a little curious that of three prominent candidates before a Democratic convention two, Cass and Buchau an, should be old Federalists, and. that a bleck cockade Federalist w as the phojee of the body? The party pow called on to support Geq Cass pretends to be a party of principle. Will any one of them please to tell us what princir pie of their party is indentified with Cass? Is it the Sub-Treasury or free-trade? Is it opposition to a National Bank? Neither. Qen. Cass has been in public, life and public pay about thirty years, and where is the truth or the principle he has maintained the service he has rendered to the country? There is not a man of any pretension to talent now or heretofore in public life for half that period that has not done more for the $,reat principles of political faith he possessed. But Gen. Lass, whilst he thus treated principles with so much neglect, has been a most anxious and most slavish devotee of power. Whenever he has found himself on the weaker side he has male all haste to abandon it. Hence, if the account of his political youth is true, he forsook an cieut Federalism, came out to the West where the use of his black cockade, was unknown, and in due time was appointed Indian agent in Michigan. He supported Mr. Adams whilst he was President, but when defeated he passed right over to Jackson. Jackson kept him in office as Governor of Michigan and Indian agent and afterwards made him Secretary of War. in that department, however, he did not suit Old Hickory, and was therefore sent to b ranee to get clear of him. In 1810 the Whigs were victorious, Gen. Cass, although then in Paris, began to manifest the warmest personal regard for Gen. Harrison, and wrote certificates to vindicate his military reputation rom tnea!saultsol Lass sown party; and when larrison aieci uen. ss undertook to oe aeepy grieved, and actually celebrated in Pris the President's death with funeral ceremonies and delivered a eulogy himself things which no other foreign Minister from this country ever felt himself called on todo before or since. But Cass's object was obvious and well under stood here; it was laughed at by the Whigs and cursed by tbe men who are now called on to support hitn. Vhy,the thing went so far that it was even proposed to bring Gen. Cass over and run him as a no-party man to succeed John Tyler. At length, however, the Whigs quarrelled with Tyler and lost their Majority in Congress and the country. Forthwith Gen. Cass picked a quarrel with Webster, (in which by the by, neuster uayeu mm buyf.j in anticipation, we presume, of b?ing removed, and he resigned, came home, and went about the countrv whilst his name was presented as a candidate for the Presidency, and instead of taking no-party grounds, he came out cautiously and succes sively for the extreme doctrines ofthe present party in power. rom his letter to the Indi ana convention of 1843, it is hard to tell whether he is for free-trade or protection; now we are told he goes for free-trade. When the an nexation of Texas w as proposed, he was against it, but quickly he tame round in favor of it when he thought it popular, lie came out for the w ii mot Proviso at erst, but when the South determined to resist it, Gen. Cass turned against it in words, for be tells its friends that its object ran be accomplished in another way. When in France, Gen. Cass, with his habitual ubserviency to power, whatever it may be, wrote a large book on the court of Louis I mllippe. full of flattery of that monarch. Now, is it not beautiful for a convention Democrat" iqm par excellence to nominate for President or the model republic of tbe world, the flatterer and panegyrist of Louis Philippe, and that too in three short months alter the trench despot was burrtd from his throne by the republicans n nis inrone Dy me repuoucans t is true that Gen. Cass now in es the French revolution and U VYmvZihcn tete ofrrauce! It is true speeches glorifies denounces Louts i nmppe sity. But let us ask how long it would hare taken to overthrow Louis Philippe if Demoerat had all written such books in his praise as Gen. Cass! Behold then the candidate of the proirrrs-sives--the man who has never made a speech or written an article in favor of any of the poiiticai principles oi nis party, out wno Has found time to deliver funeral orations in favor of a Whig President and write a large volume iü praise of a French despot and bis court. These are tbe recorded labcrs of Gen. Cass's intellect; these are bis services to the country and his party these are his claims to the highest of his country's honors. General Cuss has been in the Senate about three years. He first came out for ti 40 when that humbug was uppermost in his party. But they saw fit to drop it and take upauötherthe Mexican war. General Cass, as usual, went with the crowd of his party and has been as much devoted to tbe Mexican war as he was to Oregon, all or none. It is because b.e supports this infamous war with Mexico, and ber cause he has shown himself to be utterly Cnbcrupulous, that he is thought now to be the man to wield the enormous patronage and plunder that attend tuch a policy. If this war should go on, if the treaty fails, Cass is pledged to the conquest of all Mexico, and with such a man in the control of the hundreds of millions ot money that must be borrowed to carry on such a war and the offices in his power to bestow, our system would become as corrupt as that of the great model ot Gen. Cass, Louis Philippe, whose policy in the couquest of Al geria Cass evidently copies in tha t of conquering Mexico. ' ' Ye have now said and shown enough to satisfy any man, even a Polk man! of the' real character of Cass, and now we' shall see wheth er the experiment of running a man for President without any principle will be as successful as that of running one without intellect whether the couutry or the party abounds most in knaves or fools. .Lou."

Wh'pe was once airaigned fur stealing, befor a court over which Judge Sedgwick lirw the stor? comes) presided James Sullivan, who was Attorney General, tgued the case for the 'government. In the t'ourse nf his speech, one of Ihe jury.leaning forward, rested his elbow on his knee; and covered his eves with his - hands. White rose up i.i the bar, and uddressing ibe speak er, paid: uYou may as well stop, Mr. Sullivan; you Imte talked one ol the jury to sleep. Sullivan, who was quick and passionate, turned to the bar, exclaiming with much re hrinence? "You thief! Your forehead bears the let ter T. which siamp3 roiir character" and proceeded to lecture I;im most srveiely for his Ireniient arraingments, not forgetting to tell him of the nine indictments then pend ing ßainsi him at ih.l court. . The whole audience was roused to the highest pitch ot attention bv this singular scene. Wi.iie tod as unmored as ninrble through the stinging re prool of the Attorney Genetal, and when it was finished, quietly remarked; You may proceed with your argument.

In the month ol August, 1843, 1 ws sailing op the Ohio river on board the fine sieamet Wacousta, Capt. Norman, when as we approached a noted cpol on the river called the "Robber's Cave," my attention was Httracted by seveial loud screams. I looked above where t lie j seemed to originate, nd S'tw an eagle describing circles iu the air in a mst beautiful and graceful manner. As it-wheeled xround in its gyrations with mathematical precision, wiih outstretched Inn motionless wings, ii ever and anon uttered i lift peculiar set earn which first clrrw mv attention. Whilst I wasgnziiig in admiration at its elegmt curve, it suddenly changed i?- ii - i, .1 iism 'ioii aim uescenutu with almost uuo jceivable velocity in a perpendicular line i.. the earlh! It went down as one of i lie passenger described if, 'like a dart." Befoie we could express our btrtonishmeni or give any opinion concerning its object, again a rice and ascended to a great bight, with a rapidity almost equal to its descent, bearing in its beak a large serpent! As it mounted up the long body of the snake hung down from the beak of the eagle like ihe end of a lare rope. It was not, however, lifelest. It squirmed in every direction, and made strong eflorts for its deliverance. But in vain. The esg!e held it with a deep grip. The serpent resolving to sell lis lifo as dear as possible, endeavoring to impede the flying of the bird, und by dint of hard stnigglng, succeeded in getting hi? body over the back of the eagle. The feathered pirate now beenmo aware of his djnger. His wings were his only mentis of safety. If these became bound, he must perish with his enemy. All his efforts, however could not dislodge the snake. The wily serpent, anaconda like, drew iisell more and more ligluU around him. Ii now had ihe adrnitase in he contest. The pinions of the eagle were pinioned. Tbe snake coiled like a rope around the body of its adversary, wasenbled completely to fetter its wings and stop its flight. The struggle ceased! The eagle was conquered! They both began to fal , bound together as ihey were.
