Our readers are aware that Gen.Oats, stillen-
gaged in his desperate game (or the Presidency, has
made a move in the United States Senate to dis
continue all diplomatic interconrse with Austria,
in consequence of the savage and brutal enormities
rommitted by her, against the brave and patriotic
Hungarians—hoping to secure, by means of the.
universal sympathy felt and expressed by the Amer
ican people in behalf of down-trodden Hungary,
the public applause for bis seal in the cause of ha-
man liberty. But in this move, as in many others
during his vascillating political career, “ the great
Michigander” has been peculiarly unfortunate; as
it was clearly demonstrated by Mr. Clay and oth
ers, that once establish the precedent of breaking
'iff diplomatic intercourse with nations and king-
domn wlm-o course we cannot approve, we would,
in a httle time, be cut off from intercourse with all
the nations of the earth; as, for example, if we
t'hould discontinue our intercourse w ith Austria in
consequence of her oppression of the brave Hon-

with all sincerity and respect, Ha rebuke for such
disposition comes with good grace from his early
monitor and friend—tbe guide and exemplar ol
his youthful (measurably) of hia maturer years ?
Colonel Webb bad seen General Cass grow
ing rich, and rosy, sad happy in office, and in noth
ing hot office; he had also seen tbe General avail
ing himself of his official opportunities to transfer
and transmit tliose advantages to his son. We
presume it was from no known fitness, from no
tried Merit, young Cam was made a Major in the
array of Mexico. He bad figured as a carpet-
knight; he was known as a redoubtable lady-kill
er ; be was a very Mars in the drawing-mom and
ball-room. But what public service be had ever
rendered to justify this appointment, or his subse-
appointment as charge d'affaires to Rome,
eyet to learn. He had merely inherited the
parental appetite. He was seized with this cu
pidity, for which General Cass in bis new charac-
of Cato, undertakes to chide Colonel Webb
and the Whigs. It came to him natural enough;
but be would probably never have been able to in
dulge it, if he bad not been the ion of his father.—
It is all right for Cass the son, like Cass the father,
to indulge the lust ot office; in them it is merely a
laudable desire to serve their country. But Colo
nel Webb, the friend and pupil, and in these pesti
lent Whigs, who have not had a look at public
honors and employments for twenty years, it is a
“cupidity” that must be rebuked by making an
example of the most precipitate and pernicious.—
Is the Cass dynasty, forsooth, to be broken down
by these adventurers and interlopers ?
It is not altogether to our taste to employ the
orgumtntum ail hominem—but when General
Cass attacks a whole party for a vice ol which he is
himself notoriously guilty, we cannot refrain from
reminding him of the singular infelicity of such

Dr. Seth W. Fowle—Boston, Mass,—Dear Sir
feel it to be due to you to say that a young lady,
member of my family, had been suffering for several
years under a bronchial affection, and the disease had
made such progress, notwithstanding the best medical
aid had been consulted, that great fears were entertain
ed that the disease with her, as with so many others,
might speedily terminate in death. I was 'induced,
through the persuasion of a friend, to try your Dr. Wis-

three buttles, she felt entirely relieved of the attack.

In the House of Delegates, on Saturday, Mr.
Merrick, of Charles county, submitted the follow
ing series of resolutions, which were read and laid
over for future consideration:
Resolved, That the State of Maryland ceded to
the United States that part of the District of Co
lumbia originally embraced within her territorial
limits in good faith for a permanent seat of govern
ment for the Union, relying upon the integrity of
pnrpoce on the part of the General Government,
and upon its strict compliance with the terms of
the cession, in their letter and spirit.
That the State of Maryland, is in feeling, posi
tion, and all the features of her constitution, and
in her laws, essentially, fully and unequivocally, a
siaveholding and a Southern State.
That any interference by Congress with slavery-
in the District of Columbia, would be in violation
of the implied conditions of the cession; that the
sovereignty and jurisdiction thereby conferred,
should never be exercised to the vital injury of the
State of Maryland ; and in the opinion af this Ge
neral Assembly, whenever Congress shall so vio
late these conditions, the sovereignty over the Dis
trict of Columbia, ought legally and of right to re
vert to the State of Maryland.
That the State of Maryland loves and values the
Union for the glories of the past, the happiness of
the present, and the high destinies assigned it
the future, and she believes that no truly American
and patriotic heart wonld wish to disturb the great
compromises which hare made, and can al
tain and preserve it; nor would willingly
powers of the Federal Government lor the purpose
of oppressing or trampling upon the rights and
tercets of the States.
That we will not believe the Congress of the na
tion contemplate any such unholy purposes; and
that the ferment upon the subject ol slavery, is the
work of short-sighted aud selfish demagogues and
fanatics, seeking a political advancement to tnfa-
ous distinction.
That the extreme alternative in which the State of
the lecture, which for
beauty of style and graceful delivery, has not been
surpassed here within our recollection.
Professor Spencer, though a stranger in our
town, is not unknown in other parts of the State.
