Cass' North«]! Face.
We give »he following extract« tojhow the
manner in which Mr. Cass* claims are urged at
ti.e North, and the ground on which apport is
claimed for him by the Democratic party.
The Michigan Legislature, Cass' own State,
passed the following resolution, 52 to 3:
"Resolved, That whenever die Government
of the United States shall acquire any territory
by conquest, cession or purchase in which ala
vpfv glial I bv law exist ftt the time of such con*
ouest cession or purchase, it would be kepug*
Îant to the moral sense of this nation, and
CLEAREST DUTV OÏ Con
A VIOLATION or T1IE
CRESS TO PERMIT THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY,
IN ANY FORM to be introduced therein.
Resolution of the Cass Contention, in Michigan.
*• Resolved, Tlmt hostility to the extension
of human blavbht, is now, and ever has been
one of the PRINCIPLES OF THE DEMO
CRATIC CREED, and that to abandon it at
the present crisis, would be a crime against the
principles upon which ourinstitutionsarebased.
Resolution of the Cass Democratic Convention,
in Vermont, July 11,1818:
"Resolved, That the Democratic party of this
State, by repeated resolutions in State and Coun
ty conventions, stand pledged to oppose by evert/
lairful ami constitutional means, the extension of
slavery into any Territory of the United Stales,
free, and' that tee here reiterate that
now
TLEDGE.
Resolution passed at the Democratic meeting
at Champlain, New York:
" Resolved, That, as Democrats, wo are in fa
of the personal, political, civil and religious
liberty of all mankind, and will do all that is in
our power, consistent with the Constitution of
the United States, to secure it in all the territo
ries of the United Slates, and that any attempt
of tiie faction known as "Barnburners," to fasten
upon us the stigma of being in favor of the ex
tension of slavery, is a base slander, and known
to be such by its authors."
vor
The Hartford Times says:
"A northern man, particularly a Democrat, or
a "Free Soil" man, must be beside himself who
will vote for any other man than Gen. CASS,
and, by withholding his vote, indirectly aids the
election of Gen. Taylor, who is identified with
t ie institution of slavery in its very worst form,
and whose nomination was indisputably procured
by the slavery interest."
"Every Democrat who refuses to vote for Gen.
Cass, will aid in electing Zachary Taylor, who
is a slaveholder,/and whom the Southerners say
they know is with them, and of them, and on
questions touching slave extension. Free soil,
therefore, cannot be sustained by refusing to vote
-for Cass. Reflect.

New Haven Register.
"We say that the Democracy will continue to
support Casa and Butler, and, indeed, there is no
other ticket which presents anything like so
strong claims to the support of these men who
are really in favor of "free soil." Gen. Cass ia
a native of a free State. He has resided, for al
most his whole life, in free communities. He
has no interest in slavery, and has expressed his
opinion against that institution in most emphatic
terms. ET Gen. Butkr is not a slaveholder, and
has ever been among those Kentuckians who are
favorable to emancipation. Such is the De
mocratic ticket, and such arc its claims to the
support of the friends of freedom. If we look at
the other ticket, what do we see? Why, they
are composed of men who are, either from pas
sion or past acts, the friends and supporters of
slavery. Gen. Taylor is a large slaveholder,
and holds at least a quarter ol a million of pro
perly, the security and value of which depend
upon the integrity of the institution of slavery
being preserved intact. He certainly cannot be
claimed as being friendly to any principle likely
by its triumph to prevent the extension of slave
ry, or to hasten emancipation .—Boston Times.
The Bay Stale Advocate says:
"That those who wish to advance the cause
of freedom should vote for Lewis Cass for Presi
dent, is a point so clear to our mind, that we are
at a loss to comprehend how the new party can
hope to draw any liberal minded men into a sup
port of their pie-bald ticket.—If the Democrats
are defeated, the successful party must rule in
accordance with YVhig principles, and how favo
rable these principles are to freedom, and how
likely their prevalence would be to secure "free
soil for free men," are matters that it requires no
small amount of talent to form correet opinions
on. As every vote withdrawn from the Demo
cratic ticket'to be given to the Buffalo nominees
indirectly aids the Whigs, it follows that any
Democrat who gives his support to Van Buren,
lende his assistance to the advancement of the
only real slavery party that we have in the Uni
ted States."
Again the same paper remarks:
"Gen. Cass is the real "free soil" candidate.
Unlike Gen. Taylor he is not the owner of slaves
and plantations, and therefore he has no interest
in keeping up the institution of slavery, or in
providing Tor its spread. Unlike the same gen
tleman, he is not the leader and chosen champi
on of a conservative party which must change
its very nature, and do that which has never yet
been done by any political organization, before
it can take part in promoting the spread of fiee
institutions. He is the resident of a great free
region, in which slavery has r ever existed—in
which its existence is forbidden alike by peremp
tory laws and a public opinion that no human
power can change. Sixty years of his life has
been passed in those communities in which free
labor has supported and made a free people pros
perous. Is it rational to believe—to entertain
the idea for a moment—that Lewis Cass, a man
of jedgment—and capable of drawing correct
conclusions, can prefer slavery to liberty? that
he desires to see slave labor prevail, and free la
bor forbidden in our new territories? Madmen
may believe so, and knaves may thus misrepre
sent his opinions; but every sound-headed
may 6ee at once that the Democratic candidate
must be favprable to"free soil," and to the spread
of free labor in every region open to the darin«
and enterprise of the human race."
And again:
'"The only hope of freedom is to be found in
the continued ascendancy of the Democratic par
ty. If that party cannot be relied upon to se
cure 'free bo:!,' such soil can have no existence."
Mr. Cass' supporters in the Northwest are not
less candid in their avowals. The Cleveland
Plaindealer, one of his special organs, says:
"Every day brings us new subscribers from
the South. Our circulation is no longer limited
to Mason & Dixon's line. It has been mystery
to ns h«>w simultaneously subscribers from Flo
rida, Mississippi and Texas should see such vir
tues in our paper. Yesterday we got a clue to
the mystery. A gentleman from Mississippi
wrote to a friend here to send him the Plain
dealer. F rom that friend we learned the char
acter ol these Southern subscribers. They are
Taylor YY'higs who want to show to their Dem
ocratic neighbors the free 6oil articles in this
paper; by way of convincing them that General
Cass is a 'Free SoU' man. Well, now, gentle
men subscribers of the South, you who will read
tins very article, let us say to you in all candor
and frankness, if you want to support a slavery
propagandist, vote for Gen. Taylor—Gen. Cass
is not your man! Were he so the Plaindealer
would not support him!"

And ë 9 • «
»We (Cass Demoorats) have curselves advo
cated the Wilmot proviso principle, and hold
no w; for we see no necessity of following it out
of the Democratic party. It is essentially Dem
ocratic in its nature—it is Democratic in its ori
gin, and we are willing to trust to the Democra
cy of the country for its establishment, as they
are best able to accomplish it."
Again:
"It is directly involved in our elections to
Congress, and 6ound men (Wilmot proviso
men) should be selected in the various districts
with reftrence to this as well as questions of
a son of New
general policy. That Gen. Cas
England and resident oi a free State—would
veto such a measure, if adopted by Congress,
we believe is a gross calumny. It would be
contrary to every natural impulse of his mind
and to the thoughts and associations of his life."
The Franklin Democrat, Greenfield, Massa
chusetts, a warm supporter of Gen. Cass, says:
"Democracy is and ever must be opposed to
all slavery. Democracy must ever go for a free
soil. Slavety can never be abolished in our
country, except it be through the influence of
the Democracy."
The noted Dr. A Duncan, of Ohio, is out
warmly for Cass, and says:
"/ am in favor of Gen. Cass, and will use all
honorable means to secure his election.
" I am opposed to the introduction of slavery into
territory on this continent, where slavery does not
now exisl. n
[From the Norwalk (Ohio) Experiment, July,
1848 ]
"YVe unhesitatingly declare ourselves opposed
to the extension of slavery; and we honestly be
lieve such to be the sentiments of General Cass,
although from motives oj expediency, he has not
seen lit to express himself as decidedly as some
could have desired."
The Daily Wisconsin, the great Cass organ
of that State, on the 13th July, 1848, says:
"The Democrats of New Hampshire have
sent a Senator in favor of free territory; so also
has Maine elected Mr. Hamlin, who is true as
steel. This has all been done since the Balti
more Convention, and by the friends of Cass.
Our Democratic Legislature have passed free
territory resolutions in the Senate, by a vote of
fifteen to three! and in the Assembly, 55 to 5!—
and their prompt and timely action lias given
such a moral influence to this just progress,
that a leading Democrat lrom Illinois remarked,
that the friends of free territory were much en
couraged by the action of our Democracy.
"Let us look at the other side. The Wnigs
of New York held a Taylor ratification meeting,
and passed a resolution, evidently inclining to
yield to the South, and so at war with the decla
rations of the Whig party of New York, previous
to the nomination of Taylor, that the Tribune
was compelled to denounce it. Now, we will
submit this statement to the honorable of ail
parties, and let them decide who evince a dispo
sition to truckle since the Baltimore and Phila
delphia nominations. In truth, the very position
of Gen. Cass must of necessity make him more
of a Northen candidate than Gen. Taylor can be.
The Democracy of the free States are daily
evincing more of that sturdy independence
against the ultraisms of the South; while the
YVhig party, since the Taylor nomination, have
commenced going down the dough-face hill."
[From the Rock co (Wisconsin) Democrat,
July 1848.]
"Gen. Cass is an Eastern man, born on a free
soil, and has spent the flower of his youth and
that of maturer years, in the West, where all his
private interests lie, and to which he is wedded by
every tie that can bind the heart of man. On the
other hand, Gen. Taylor is a Southern man, a
cotton planter, and slaveholder; all his private
interests are in the South; and he is wedded to it
by ties which he cannot break if he would. The
good book tells us 'where a man's treasure is,
there his heart is also;' and this is so well under
stood, that we cannot see how any Northern
'free territory' man, whether Whig or Democrat,
can support for the Chief Magistracy of the na
tion a Southern slaveholder, without violating
iiis conscience."
We submit the above extracts to the conside
ration of Southern Democrats, who are disposed
to support Mr. Cass, as the friend and champion
of the South, "the Northern man with Southern
principles No. 2."
