llepublican party in the ascendant, he gave his old
friends n specimen of his skill, and lit upon his feet

In due time, he was appointed Indian Agent to
Michigan, during the administration of Mr. Jcflier-
son, whom he hail assailed some years before, and
was kept in office by Messrs. Madison, Monroe,
Adams and Jackson, until the latter ap|>ointed him

General Cass is not so fortunate, he has
taken an active part in politics, and has
been looked upon ns an aspirant to the
Presidency. It is but a short time since
his nomination and he has since resigned
his seat in Congress. His resignation
is attributed to a desire to shrink voting on
thc Wilmot Proviso question in connection
with thc liill to make Oregon a territory.—
His shifting letter on thc River and Har

a Book written by himself—the life, of
