"Baittmoke, 19th Sept., 1848 "Gentlemen: On my return from the North yesterday, I found the accompany ing communication. I do not . know that I can make a better use of it than by placing; it in your hands, Mr i who writes to me, I am not personally acquainted with, butl have understood he is a highly re spectable gentleman. You may, therefore confidently rely upon the authenticity of the hand-bill he sends. Someol the friends of Gen. Cass are systematically attempting to deceive the North, and the South, as to his opinions upon the slave question."' In the one section he is openly and confidently represented as a friend of the Wilmot pro viso, snd in the other, as openly and confi dently, pledged to veto it. His friends in Michigan, without an exception, as I am tablymformeIWMiy (i niM juvvr, nro urtjin me nratrfrounu in nis behalf, in his presence and with his know), edge of course, and with his silent, but no less ipeakinf, assent. The" fraud began with tne issuing of his two lives at Washing ton, and has been, and will to the end. be shamelessly continued. The example of V an Bnrcn one would think quite sufficient to place Southern men on their , guard. A Northern man possessing Southern princi ples and surrounded by supporters at home who in the strongest terms, avow their ab horrence of them, snd advocate his preten sions because of their alleged - knowledge of his concurence with themselves, can on ly hope for Southern support upon ' the grouud of a continued credulity. If iff the hope well founded, in" my . judgment the South will stand self stultified. Having a very high opinion of their intelligence and pa'rotism, I have an abiding confidence that Gen Cass will not have their support. Very respectfully, youi obed't serv'i.

From the Rich mood W hig THE CONTRAST. ' "-' The Nstchez Courier presents the con. trast which we subjoin, between the posi tion of Van Buren and Duller in 1844, and that of the same gentlemen in 1848. One readers will bear in mind that these were once the leaders ot the Uemocracv. the one in the Slate of New York, the other in the whole Union. They were both reputed excellent friends of the South both reckoned among the "Natural Al lea and both represented as "Northern men with Southern principles" of the most approved .stamp. ' 1 he boiith are again called unon to vote (or a Nowhem mB- w4lt Southern-'principles." In the face of the lata treacher ous conduct of James K, Polk, who by signing Ihe Wilmot proviso has relinquish' ed the principle forever, they are requested to put their faith in one who is pledged to follow in his footsteps, snd to carry out every measure which he has left uncom pleted. Will the South be a second time deceived! Will they eommit the unheard of and unaccountable folly ol trusting a man who is reco.nmended to them under I'ss promising circumstances, than he who has so lately betrayed them, and in favor f whom the very identical arguments sre used, that had before been employed in fa vor of one, now by his own altered friends, declared to be an apostate! Will they never leorn anything- from experience! Is the record of the past to them as a seal. ed book? Have they not discovered, be fore this, that the man. who, bore 'in the North, reprrsents himself as a' Southern man in feeling, is unworthy of all confi dence? Thai he, in fact, abjures his own kith and kindred, and tears violently asun der the ties which bind even the savage to tne spot oi nis nativity k - - Depend upon it, tlwt he who having been born in rn tn the Northhaving lived, in tho 4 North all his days, even until the evening of lile having imbibe., with the very sir which he drew in at his birth, the leelings and principles common to men of all de grees in the North represents himself as alien in feeling trom the land of bis oaiivi. tv, already meditates treachery in his heart. Such a person is ' a monstrous anomaly, whom it is never safe lo trust. ' - . But let ihe reader look st the contrast which we shall present, remembering, all the time, the arguments formerly used for Van Buren, by those very men wto are now pressing us to givo out votes to Cass.
