MR. CASS AND THE PLATFORM.
Every day's evidence affords additional demon
stration of the wide discrepancy that exists between ,
the entire tenor of Mr. Cass' political career, and his
late endorsement of the principles laid down in that
miserably bungling peice of partisan scaffolding
the Baltimore Convention Platform.' W have ex
posed, heretofore, the inconsistency of his position
in relation to Internal Improvement with his new
professiovt'hXid the bare-faced duplicity of his con
duct in his vacillations upon the Proviso. We have
before us, to-day, other testimony to the hollow-hearted
insincerity of this unreliable man this tempori
zing Weathercock, that veers politically as the winds
of interest blow. !
That Resolution of the Democratic Convention,
which disposes of the question of Slavery interfer
ence, employs the following language:
Resolved, That all efforts of the Abolitionists or
others, made to induce Congress to inrerfere with
questions of Slavery, or to take incipient steps in re
lation thereto, nre calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequences ; and that all
such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish
the happiness of the people, and endanger the'stabil
ity and permanency of the Union, and ought not to
be countenanced by any friend of our political insti
tutions. What is here meant by the term incipient steps ?
In what other way can initiatory measures to induce
Congress to abolish Slavery or accomplish any ob
ject, indeed, be more decidedly made, than through
the medium of Petition ? That brings cognizance
of the grievances imaginary' or real before Con
gress. Now, one unacquainted with the political
character of the man, would hardly suppose that
Ltwis Cass, despite his professed approbation of the
sentiments embodied in the foregoing Resolution5ever
presented a Petition praying the Abolition of Slave
ry ! But let us examine the record a moment, and
see how stands the case :

Our readers may judge from the above, how ut
terly reckless the Loco Foco party are becoming in
their assertions. Such new manifestations are but
on a par with t heir baseless" charges against our can-
didate for the Vice Presidency, and their 'equally
baseless declarations as to Gen. Cass' consistency
and sounduess upon the question of Slavery
S. E. H. has been grossly deceived. We will an
swer his interrogatories as briefly as possible. In
th first place, Mr. Badger did not vote for the Or
egon bill, with the Wilmot Proviso in itand the
man who has temerity enough to make such an as
sertion, would hardly scruple at any enormity. If
worthy of such notice, some honest fellow should find
out if his nose is as elastic as his principles. It is
hardly necessary to append the proof; but that there
may be no shirking out of the matter, here it is :
The Oregon Bill passed the House of Represen
tatives with the Wilmot Proviso in it. When il
reached the Senate, the Missouri Compromise was
affixed, extending the Compromise line of 36
30' to the Pacific, for which Mr. Badger voted. It
was sent back to the House for concurrence in the
amendment. That body refused to concur, by near
ly a strict Northern and Southern vote. When the
bill was returned, Mr, Benton (a Loco Foco leader)
moved that the Senate recede from its amendment.
This course was equivalent to an endorsement of the
Bill as it then stood with the Wilmot Proviso in it.
This after a long and excited debate, was carried by
a vote of 29 to 25, but two Senators representing
slaveholding States (Benton and Houston) and they
Democrats, voting for it. We give the- vote :

Thus, it is incontestibly proved, that Leicis Cass
did what, according to Locofoco arguments against
Mr. Fillmore, must convict him of hostility to the
most cherished interests of the South. He was not
only in favor of the Senate's receiving, but he himself
presented, without tendering a solitary word of expla
nation, petitions and Resolutions, in favor of abol
ishing Slavery not only in the Territories, but in one
of the sovereign States of our Confederacy. And yet
in the broad and open light of these glaring facts, with
that system of casuistry so peculiar to himself he
mounts the Baltimore Platform which reprobates and
denounces any such course, ami declares that the un
alterable basis of his political sentiments!! And
yet again, in the face of such development?, the
" Standard," and kindred Democratic Print., persist
in recommending their Candidate as the uniformly

are guilty of an equal amount of such political turpi

GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRESIDENCY.
The "Southern Quarterly Review," (published at
Charleston, S. C) in an article entitled " War and
its Incidents," thus speaks: '
"The whole course of GenV. Taylor, in reference
to the Presidency, if we are to take his words and
acts as a guide to the sentiments of his heart, can
but tend greatly to elevate him in the estimation of
the public, for he stands in brilliant contrast with
some of his own countrymen. Accustomed to ex
pose only his front to dangers, and anxious to bring
the war speedily to a close, and conclude for his
country an honorable peace,, he preferred his tent
with the company and the conversation of his offi
cers, to the Clubrooms at Washington, and the mys
terious whisper of caballing politicians. The direc
ting of a campaign and the diagrams of battle fields,
were quite sufficient to engross the best energies of
his mind, and hence he declined to enter into the in
vestigation of abstruse: political science, Or to play
the oracle of Party. "If I should ever occupy the
White House," (6ays he) it must be by the spontan
eous move of the People, aud by no act of mine, so
that I could go into the office untrammelled, and be
the Chief Magistrate of the nation, and not of a Par
ty." In thus standing aloof and casting away the uni
versal shackles which have heretofore hampered the gen
ius of the Country, and relying trroN the unbroken

Secondly, M essrs. Reid and Daniel did vote, at the
session of Congress before the last, for the Oregon
bill, having the Wimor Proviso in it In order that
there may be no sneaking here, likewise, we give the
list of Southern Democrats who voted for the Bill,
as their names are recorded upon the House Jour
nal, to-wit :
Messrs. James B. Bowlin, Lynn Boyd, W. G.
Brown, L. B. Chase, Howell Cobb, Alvan Cullom,

Southern Democrats who voted" for the Oregon bill
with the Wilmot proviso were George W.Jones and
Andrew Johnson.
Having shown, by the record, that these Loco Fo
co statements are gross and wilful misrepresentations
of truth, we will inform S. E. H., iu conclusion, of a
fact that is true, viz James K. Polk,i Democrat

mot Proviso in it ! Gen. Cass is pledged to follow
in his footsteps, if elected ! Will you can you sup

CREEDS PLEDGES AND PLATFORMS ! !
We commend to the perusal of the Platformites,
the following extract from the Speech of the Hon.
W. H. Haywood, delivered in the Senate of the
U. S, on the 5th of March, 1846, on the " Oregon
Question." Let it be born in mind, that Messrs.
Allen, Hannegan, Cass and other War Senators,
contended that Mr. Polk was bound by the Balti
more Resolution that he was pledged to it, and if
he did not carry it out, he "ought to sink to a depth
of infamy so deep, that the hand of resurrection could
not reach him."
The Resolution which has been gravely read, and
often relied upon as deserving great weight and con
sideration in our deliberations, is my subject, not the
Convention. The resolution on Oregon is simply
this : The declaration of opinions by a party Con
vention, recommending those opinions to the people
which were unuuimouely adoped by the, Conven
tion. That is its precise character. They are before
me:
"Resolved, That our title to the whole of Oregon
is clear and unquestionable ; that no portion of the
same ought to be ceded to England or any other
Power j .and that the reoccuputiou of Oregon, and
the re-annexation of Texas, at the earliest practica
ble period, are great American measures, which this
Convention recommends to the cordial support of the
Democratic party of this Union."
It is remarkable how this resolution has acquired
so much importance now, when it was not even
thought worthy of being communicated to Mr. Polk
at that time by its authors. 1 have before me, in
Niles's Register, the letter informing him of his
nomination, and expecting to elect him ; and his re
ply accepts the nomination, hoping they may. That
is about the whole of it. In good taste, aud enough
said. If any Senator wishes it, I will read the letters.
Here they are. : But not a word about Oregon not
a syllable. No pledges made, and none required. In
truth, we all know that the -Baltimore Convention
was not called to instruct or express opinions for the
parry, but simply to choose a DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE, So yon come round again to Mr.
Polk's opinion voluntarily expressed before he was a
candidate for President, and which he has not chang
ed tg this day. Of that I have already spoken.
Then whom does this resolution bind? Why
brought into this Senate? But, before you answer
me, recollect there were two Baltimore Conventions.
Some person said t;three." I know, tut I don't count
the Tyler Convention, A good deal of laughter
took place at this remark, and Mr. H. said, "I mean
no sneer no offence to any one." The Whig
Senators, 1 suppose it will be admitted, are not
bound by the Democratic Convention resolution.
.Mr. Dickinson, of New York, and others said, lOf
coarse not.", TJien that is settled. How is it with
a' Democratic Senator whose State voted for Mr.
Clay and repudiated the Democratic Convention?
That is my case, i My State adopted the Constitu
tion many jears ago; and besides that, they, refused
to vote for Mr. Polk, or to approve this resolution
in 1844. What is it expected of ME to do? To
obey the Constitution, and follow the people of my
State; or this resolution of a Convention sent to
Baltimore to NOMINATE A CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT, but. not to make CREEDS for the
party ? Some one remarked, Of course you are
bound as a Senator." Very well; it is as a Sena
tor I talk here, as a Senator I vote here, and as a
Senator I heard these resolutions read here ; and yet
as a Senator I am not bound, to heed them. That is
a strange result, after all we have heard of this mat
ter. And in behalf of my Democratic neighbors,
the Senators from South Carolina, I. would respect
fully inquire whether they were bound, and how
far ? since South Carolina would not join the Con
vention, and had no delegates in it. Several voices :
"J&fe. yes iher delegatestcame inafter." j I under
sftir $?:$6uthf Caroling delegates "cam? into the
nommation. However, I suspect that much of all
this, intended or not intended, will be used to aid the
cry of Punic faith" "Punic faith!" of which I
shall speak hereafter.
But in the next place, Mr. President, I presume
to tell my Democratic associates who thrust this new
CREED upon me as a test of orthodoxy in the par
ty, that they seem to me not to understand it them
selves, and it were as well to look to that before any
cry of treason shall begot up, either against the
President, or against the Senate, or against an hum
ble individual like myself.
Oh! ye Creeds pledges and platforms!
What a pickle what a quandary what a dilemma
ye are in !

Medicinal uses of the Wild Cherry. Ev
er since the eetilement of America, Wild Cherry
has been known to possess very important medi
cinal virtues.' Every body knew this fact, but
nobody knew how to extract its essential proper
ties. Every mother gives Wild Cherry tea to
her children for worms, for colds, and for almost
every disease : and adults throughout our country
are in the habit of making a compound of syrup
of wild cherry bark, and other ingredients, to be
uced iu spring as an antidote to complaints inci
dent to that changeful season. It is found
by experiment that the wild cherry possesses
even far more important qualities than was as
cribed to it. For the first stages of Consumption,
Asthma, no matter, how long standing. Coughs
Liver Complaints, etc, it is proved to be the best
medicine known to man. Dr. WistarV Balsam
of Wild Cherry is a chemical extract, combined
with a similar extract from Tar, which enhances
its value. Its success in curing pulmonary dis
ease, in almost every stage, after oar best physi
cians 'could do no more, has astonished the fac
ulty, and led the in to confess tbat Wiatar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry possesses a principle here
tofore unknown among medical men.

ONE DISEASE OR MANY!
So, one of my opponents will leave it with the
" learned to decide" whether there be more than one
cause ot disease. Disease may be defined as the op
posite ot health. What is health'? It is the per
tormance,regularly,'ot ait the functions of the body
fully, and without pain. What ia disease? ltia
toantyof Life ia the part where the pain is felt, or
where the numbness or enlargement is situated. How
do you know it is so 1 Look at that piece of meat,
it is becoming put rid. What .makes it putrid ? it
was not so when forming part of a living butty. No.
Because then the life principle was able to throw otf
a particular matter which neutralized the atmospher
ic air, and instead of produi ing disease produced the
breath of life, and is the cause of the beat of the hu
man body. So a want of life in a part," is disease-in
that part. . Of course it is. For how could impure
humors collect, if the powers of life were strong
enough to throw them out without the aid of Hiedi
cine I 'he thing is impossible. But say some, bow"
do ou know that the powers of life would not throw
out the impure humors collected in any part of the
body , without resorting to medicine? I answer to
such, that it would be like the aiding a man after he
was crushed to death with a load, which we bad the
power to take oft his back before be was faort ? but
we, like hard-hearted wretches, wished to see wheth
er he could not get up without help, and when be is
dead., we say oh ! 1 wish I bad helped him before
This would be a case of crime next io murder ; and
it is not the less a crime, that we kill ourselves by
waiting until nature helps herself. We have the'
means in our own hands of cure, without reducing
the lite principle to its lowest ebb, but on the contra
ry, eveiy time we use Brandretb's Pills, when we
are sick, we are better and betrer. until we are again
restored to health. These Pills supply tbat princi
ple to the human body which it requites when the
life principle is depiessed by disease, to guard it from
the injurious effect --f be atmosphere ; and those who
use them are satisfied this result is obtained. Hera
in Providence, 1 can refer, if necessary, to many who
will corroborate all I have asserted, and especially to
an old gentleman eighty-thiee jears old, who has ta
ken them the Iat seven years, and no other medicine,
and who, no one would suppose, to look at birOfWas'
much over sixty. His life, as he assured me, appear
ed to have been renewed, since be had recourse to
Brand n th PdN. " -
Then there i- Mrs Hooper's case, of WsrehatnS
Bajnstable Co Mass. for nearly twenty years she
was unable to render any assistance to herself. Her
disease showed itself as at. Vitus' Dance. One bun
dred and fifty boxes of Pills cured her, and the baa
been healthy non for sevm'yt-ars, and fully compe
tent to sir the duties of her family. Her case, a
written iy herself, was published five years ago.
I have just received t decease of a medical gentle
man, who resides at SherbroOk, Canada, who fot
twenty years was sorely afflicted with a. dietse
which came out in blotches and scabs afj over bis
body. This gentleman so far forgot bis prejudices,
which too ofien cure his profession, as to apply per
sonally to Dr. Brandreth, and his courae proved a
happv one. Within six months he was entirely
cured" of hia miserable and tormenting disease by the
use of the Brandreth Pil's
Time would fail me, were I to go on enumerating
the many cures of diseases, considered incurable by
Physicians, which have been affected solely by the
use of the Brandreth Pills
Lej me assure all those who have not yet tried this
Blesing of the Human Race, in no case can they do
injury, because they are made of those herbs and.
roots which experience has fully proved always har
monize with the human body.' 'The omission of per
gins; with them in ease of sickness, is often the cause
of a long attack, often ending only by a cessation of
nib.
How Important it is tbat this coarse should be
pursued ; it will not only be the surest wsy fof res
toring ; but it will, in a , great measure prevent-th
recurrence of constitutional maladies and wiR lib rely
weaken tha malignity ef- the attacks, and in time se
cure robust health. , r j u .;'," I
AlTpersons should carefully poiebaea Brajuheth'e
Pills only of the regularJy appointed Agentav Tbey
should thus insure themselves the genatne article
otherwise they may often light upon a counterfeit ar
ticle. Becueful. - '''"
