“Tho Cuban flajr was displayed at half-

We learn from the papers ‘I’laf (Jen«*ral
Cas.^ ha.s been making a vt'fy digtufiod anl
hecoming speech at lialfimore, in which
he took (K'casion to bear testimony to the
high ch.inicter and distinguished de.serts of
(jem*ral Scoff, but obji*cft‘d to his eleva-
tii'i) to the J'resideney on account of his
being a Whig. ^Ve h*arn also that Judge
Doiigl.'is followed (li’iieral ('ass, and was
as allusive a.s the most reckless adherotif
of Voung Atuerica could desire. Insteail
of wasting his energies on (lon. Scoff, we
ad'dsc' the jiivenih* gl.iiit to jxisf home to
Illinois forthwith and explain to his p(*o-
ple how he can reconcile (Jen. I’i(*rce’s de

provement.'. with the inf»*re.>ts of the great
We-^t, and how he tan reconcile with flu*
