taking such a step without her consent would be

standing some of the wisest statesmen of the age pre
dicted that war would inevitably ensue—they “stole
Capt. Tyler’s thunder," and proclaimed tho “ rc-an-
nexation of Texas” as one of their leading mea
sures—by this term “ re-annexation" attempting to
make the people, in whose intelligence they “trust,”
believe that Texas had been once annexed, and
wrongfully wrested from our possession by son
Well, Polk was elected, Texas a

these leaders said never would take place, and if it
did, they would whip Mexico before breakfast!—

his friends have exhibited their confidence in the in
telligence of the American people, in a most re
liable degree! When the Executive was
cliarged with commencing the war by ordering the
Army to tho Rio Grande, his friends maintained
perfect right to do so, as it was clear

they changed tbeir ground, and boldly attempted
hift the responsibility to the shoulders of Gen.
Taylor—failing in this, also, they make a sweeping
charge against the Mexicans of being scoundrels

with us, (which is no doubt true) but this cannot
shield the President from having unconstitutionally

inent, by proclaiming that they wonld not be per

And here in Athens, too, as Well as in other

In addition to the above, a striking, and, we be-
:vc,the most dangerous characteristic of Gen. Cxss
—dangerous, at least, in a Presidential aspirant—is
ovcrbinl and notorious ultraism. Locofoco-
i its mildest form, and in “broken doses,” wo
onfess, is not in our estimation particularly
prepossessing; but when, as in the case of Gen.
Cxss, it is carried to extremes, we tremble at the bare
possibility of the Government of this great country
falling into the hands of such men. Aa evidence
>f b-.s ultraism, may be mentioned bis course on
he Oregon question, when that matter was before
the Senate. Does not the whole country remember
the wild fanaticism which seized upon him and Al-
lgx and others of a like kidney 1 And what would
have been the result, if such counsels had prevail
ed 1 Instead of, or in addition to, the war, “the
breakfast spell,” with Mexico, wc would >iow, and
perhaps for years to come, have been engaged in a
bloody, sanguinary and equally unnecessary war
with England.
But wc luivc not room to enlarge on this matter
at this time. Aside from the danger of becoming
involved in foreign war by electing an ultraisl to
the Presidency, may be ineationed the fa>-.t that it
is injurious to our free institutions. In order to al
lay, as fur as possible, the bitterness of party
rancor and soften down the asperities of heated
partisan warfare, (from which the wisest and best
statesmen in the early years of the Republic appre
hended great danger) all parties, in making selec
tions of candidates for the Presidency, should in
quire for wise, prudent and moderate men, so that,
however much the defeated party may differ in sen
timent with tire successful aspirant, they may at
least feel satisfied that the country is safe in his
hands, and then they will be prepared to give him
credit for what is right in his Administration, and
the country realize as nearly as practicable^the fact
that he is tbs President if the country and
President of a parly. This can never be done by
elevating biller, unscrupulous, ultra partizans to
tbe Executfvechair—such men uiust,of necessity,be
come the President of x fxrtt. Their elevation on
ly embitters the feeling* of the opposite parly—wid
ens the chasm between the two—and, it may be,'
some cases, so fur arouses prejudice as to blind his
enemies to what is really good and praiseworthy
his Administration—a course which,in its natural,le
gitimate action upon the conduct of
his partizans to approve every thing he docs, : right
or wrong! Now, we appeal to all honest, candid
men* of whatever party, if this has not
case in this eoantry for several years past 1 • Eve
ry body knows that such is tbe fact, and thousands
upon thousands of honest, good men, in
ties, have for years deplored It, not only
evil, but one from which mach danger to oar free
institutions has bee* apprehended.

Gen. Cass.—Tho Alexandria Gazette says:—
With all due rcs(>ect for him (Gen. Cass) as a
gentleman—and wc shall, we hope, never fail to
him with all respect, consistent with the free
and full discussion of his merits and claims to the
station for which he is now a candidate—wc yet do
hesitate lo say, that neither in point of talents,
sagacity, consistency, or firmness, is he worthy of
the office of President He has, in diplomacy been
knocked heels over head by Webster; and in
Salesmanship, floored, over and over again, by Cal
houn. As a party man, he has watched the vary
ing phases of politics, and shaped his course lo suit
the times—trimming his sails lo the popular breeze.
But no one has or can look to him a* a pilot to
weather the storm, or capable of directing the helm
of the ship of state, in cases of emergency.”
fcj- The Baltimore Sun. alluJmgto Cass and But
ler, says: “The Whljs appear to be very well sat
isfied with the nominations, though thej are pretty
free to admit that it is a strong ticket. Its military
character will unquestionably affect their nomina
tions, and here in Baltimore, no other name but
Gen. Taylor is heard of in connection with the
Presidency.”
CtJ* It is said that Gen. Taylor has been summon
ed to attend as a witness at the Court of Inquiry.
G3~ If Gen. Butler accepts the nomination of the
Baltimore Convention, he will most probably re
sign the CommonJ-in-chief of the army. The next
in command is Gen. Patterson, and after him Gen.
Worth.
