LIFE AND PUBLIC SERVICES OF HON. LEWIS CASS. Lewis Cass .was born at Exeter,. in New ITampshire, on the 9th day of October, 1782. His father. Major Jonathan Cass, was a soldier of the revolution, who enlist ed as a private the day after , the battle of Lexington. , He served in the array till the close of the war, and was in all the im- kportant battles in the eastern and middle fetates, where he was distinguished tor his valor and good conduct, and attained the rank of captain. . He was afterwards a Major in Wayne's army, ami died at an advanced age, after a'life of usefulness and honor, at his residence near Dresden, in Muskingum county, Ohio His son, Lewis Cass, the subject of tins biography, emigrated at the age of IT, to the then northwestern territory, and settled first at Marietta, in the county of Washington. He read Jaw at Marietta, and was ad mitted to the bar before the close ofthe territorial government. He commenced the practice, and, as was the custom then, visited the courts in a large district of country, travelling on horseback, and en countering many difficulties unknown to the niembers of the bar at the present day. In 1806, he. was elected a member ot the Legislature of Ohio, and during the session he took his part in the business of tlje day. He draughted the law Which ar rested the traitorous designs ot Isurr, and ntrouucea an auuress to iir jenerson, which was unanimously adopted, express- ng the attachment ot the people ot Ohio to the constitution ofthe United States, and their confidence in that illustrious man. In March, 180T, he was appointed, by Mr etierson, marshal ot Ohio. In the execu tion of the duties of that office, in the busi ness of his profession, and in the occupa tion ot a farm in Muskingum county, where ie resided, he passed his time until 1312, rhen bur difficulties' with England assumed a portentous aspect. Her multiplied ag gressions left us no recourse but war; and the statesmen of the day prepared for it with firmness. As one of the preparatory arrangements, it was determined to march considerable force to the northwestern frontier, to be ready for offensive or defen sive measures, as circumstances might render it necessary. The' command was given to Gen. Hullj and a regiment of rcgu- ti-nons. which had fought .with credit. at ue. was assiifiieu in mm. x una .FEVER AN L) AtiUE C URED WITHOUT FAIL. ; SHAW'S PILLS JLt mm infallible remedy for tlua disease.

The debarka tion was superintended and directed bv Gen. Casa, of the army, and CapU. Elliott, of the navy; and the troops landed, in per fect order, expecting to meet a formidable resistance, but the enemy had fled, after destroying the public building at Amherst buig and Detroit, and were in full retreat for Lake Ontario. The, American artnv immediately commenced the pur?uit, and after capturing, two small detachments which offered some resistance in favorable positions, overtook the'enemy at the Mo ravian towns on the river Thames, about 80 miles from Detroit. The British gen era! (Proctor) proved himself unequal to his command. Having some days t!e start, if he designed to escape, he "s!ioild have pushed his retreat as rapidly as pos sible. But he moved slowly, encumbered with much unnecessary bajrage, and find ing the American army closing iip.ni him, he prepared for battle.

As soon as this demand upon their patriotism was known, the citizens of that State hastened to the call of their country, and the force was raised without delay or difficulty. Mr Cass was among the volunteers aim was elected to the com mand of the third regiment. He proceed ed immediately with his regiment to Day ton, where the army was concentrated, and whence it commenced its march for De- troit. I he country was a trackless lorest, and much of it was 'low and wet. (Ureat difficulties were interposed to the advance ofthe troops by the streams and marshes, and by - the necessity of cutting a road liut these were overcome with the usual good will and perseverance of the Ameri can soldiers. The army reached Detroit on the 4th of July, 1812." ()n the. loth of July, Col. Cass was or dered to attack a British detachment at the river Aux Canards; about 15 miles from Detroit, and five miles from Fort Maiden, then the British headquarters. He crossed the river some distance above the enemy's post, and briskly attacked them; when, after some loss, they fled. Here was spilt the first blood during the last war. Uol. Cass took possession of the abandoned position, and immediately despatched u messenger to Gen. Hull, informing him of his success and advising him to inarch im mediately, to Fort -Maiden the road to which was openetU About three weeks alter the affair at the Canards, the w hole army was ordered across the river to De troit. . " On entering Canada, Gen. Hull distri buted a proclamation among the inhabi tants, which, for the eloquence and high spirit that it contained, cannot be surpas sed; but it was sadly in contrast with the fulfilment of its professions. Unfortun ately for the country, t!ie author of the proclamation, Col. Cass, was not the com mander '-of the army. A spirit of infatua tion, or something worse, seized upon Hull, and led him on from oner false step to anoth er, until the crowning act, the surrender of Detroit, without firing a gun, completed his own:-ruin, -aud brought disgrace upon the arms of his country. IStung with mortification on hearing ofthe surrender, Col- Cass," when ordered to -deliver up his sword, indignantly shivered it in pieces, and threw it to the earth, refusing to sur render it to the enemy.- ' ' After the surrender of Detroit, CoL Gass repaired to Washington, to report-to the government the whole' circumstances at tending the expedition; He was exchang ed during the -winter, and in the spring w as appointed a brigadier general, v Short ly after this, he joined Gen Harrison at Seneca, where the army was collecting. destined to recover the territory of Michi gan, and to take possession - of the western district of Upper Canada. u The prepara tory arrangements being completed,- and the lake being open to" the transportation of our troops by the victory of Perry, Gen. Harrison commenced hi movement in September 181 S, and embarked hig t loops at the couth of Portage river, whence they nating in a marsh. This flank was'occu pied by the Indians, who it was intended should turn the American left wing and at tain the rear. The army moved so rapid ly that-many of the troops were left behind and a small portion only of General Cass's command was in the battle; they were stationed immediately in front of the en emy's artillery, which commanded the road, with directions to charge upon it as soon as the action commenced. General Cass volunteered his services, together with Com. Perry, to assist Gen. Harrison; and at the moment of the charge of Col. Johnson's regiment, which decided the fate ofthe day, Gen. Cass took a position with the right wing of it, commanded by Lieut. Col. Johnson, and accompanied it in its charge upon the -British line. It was a dangerous experiment to charge a line of disciplined British soldiers by undisciplined mounted Americans ; but valor supplied the place of dicipline ; and, notw ithstand ing the resistance, that brave regiment broke through the line, and instantly the enemy was thrown into confusion, and threw down their arms, happy to escape ofthe action, and was pursued by General Cass, with a detachment, for some miles, but could not be overtaken. General Harrison, in his report ofthe battle ot .the ,1 names, dated October 9. mgut Green bay, in 1827, for the purpose of forming a treaty, Govcrucr Cass found that'tlie Winnebago Indians had net vet come in ; and as the object of the treaty was to settle difficulties among some ofthe tribes, the non-appearance of the Winne bagoes was an evidence of their desire for war rather than peace. He immediately re-embarked on board his birch canoe, for their camping ground, to prevent anv hos tilities, and to bring them to the treaty ground. He rapidly pursued his voyage up the Fox river, across the Portage, and down the Wisconsin, to the place of en campment. Takine with him only his in terpreter, he went up to the encampment. ...l i. r. i l !:. "uric i:e luuiui wiem in warlike inooa, and determined not to treat. Threats and entreaties were alike unavailing with this exasperated tribe. He left them, and. re I turned to his canoe. As he turned to go to the river, a young warrior raised his gun; ind taking deliberate aim at him, pulled the trigger; but, providentially, the gun missed tire. This is the only instance of violence ever offered to him during the long period of his intercourse with the In dians He proceeded immediat ly to Prairie du Chien, where he" organized the inhabitants, and placed them in a condi tion of defence, and returned to the treaty ground. In 1831, Gen. Cass was called by Gen. Jackson to take charge of tho War Depart ment, anil his removal from Michigan Territory was marked by a universal ex pression of regret. In 1836, General Cass was appointed minister to France, and immediately resign ed his post as Secretary of War. On re tiring from the department, he received a letter from General Jackson express ing warm personal feelings toward bin, and commending his whole official con duct. He sailed from New Vorkv in l- .,,1, f ..I 1 ""ji't'irrMTlii. relations halfnol oeen fully re-establish' ed with Fiance, he was directed to ling land, and .there ascertain the views of the French government.

The former is an officer ofthe highest promise, and the appearance of the brave Commo dore cheered and animated every breast." The battle ofthe Thames terminated the North western campaign,, and put an end to the war in that quarter, but not to the difficulties or. importance of the command The 13 nited States being once more in the possession of the Territory of Michigan, and of the province of Upper Canada, Gen. Cass was assigned temporarily, the com mand of the district, and General Harri taon withdrew with his army. On the 9th of October, 1813, he was appointed b President Madison governor of Michigan, at that time one of the most important civil officers within the gift of the Executive. He was the civil as well as military govern or of a large territory, having many hun dred miles ot exposed frontier, tilled am this country, and he immediately repaired to Paris and took up his residence mere. After his recognition, his first official d-jty was to procure the interest due upon tuc twenty-five millions of francs indemnity, which had been retained when the principal was paid. After some hesitation this whs anil thus this irreat controvei 3 v. such grave cttected ; which at one time threateneJ consequences, was happily closed. In 1837, Gen. Cass made a tour to tae east. He visited Italy, Sicily, Malta. j Greece, the islands of the Archipe'a ', i Constantinople, and the Black Sea, Egypt j Palestine, and Syria. He was at Florence, Home, I'aiermo, Athens, Corinth Eleu-is, Salamis, and the battle-fields of Plataea, Leuctra, Cheronxa, and Marathon at the plains of Troy, at Alexandria, Cairo and the Pyramids; at Jaffa, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, the Sea of Tiberias.

Memorable places these, and calculated to excite strong emotions almost surrounded with numerous tribes j n the mind of an American w ho had pa-,s of hostile Indians, in the pay of the British iiovernment, and constantly excited to acts of hostility by British agents. That Governor Cass performed well his highly important and 'delicate duties, tho . . .... a ed a large portion of his life amid the toils and privations of a new country. After his return to Paris, Gen. Cass re sumed the duties of his mission, and con tinued in their recular execution till its whole body ofthe people of' Michigan will i termination. He was proverbial for his bear us witness 5 and the fact of his having j kindness an-l hospitality to h'13 country been seven times nominated by four sue-' men, none of whom were denied his atteu- cessive Presidents, and seven times con firmed by the-.

In the discharge of hisduties as Superin tendent of Indian Affairs, Governor Cass tions, and few ot whom visited Paris with out being invited to his house. Hi3 ob servations upon the government and peo ple of France were given to the public in the pages of the Democratic Review, in an article entitled - France, its King, Court, and Government," which most of our read- vvas called upon to enter into.many negotia-I ei s will probably recollect.

This opinion is fast gaining ground, and we trust the time is rapidly approaching when this relic of feudal ty ranny --this perfection of aense as it is called but this perfection of nonsense as it in many cases is will give way to reason and justice. ' 1 " In 1841 arose the well-known question of the quintuple treaty, in which Gen Cass acted a prominent and an efficient part. The British government, m its scheme of maritime superiority, which it ncf aban dons any more than its plans of territorial aggrandizement, projected a plan by which, under the pretence of abolishing the slave trade, her ships of war would have been enabled tor search and examine, and u hr mately to serve the vessels of other ratio at their pleasure.
