Efforts of the Enemy.
LET THE TAYLOR MEN BE UP ANT> DOING.
The following secret sircular.says the
ßee, lias been prepared in Washington by
the leading Locofocos there,, and distri
buted to the "faithful." Fas est ab hoste
doceri. The enemy is at work, with all
the eaormous aids derived from the pa
tronage of the Government, the possession
of power, the dread of losing office, and
the heavy contributions of those who sub
sist upon Government pap. No effort
will be spared to accomplish the defeat of
Taylor and Fillmore; and we have al
ready had evidence of the desperate strug
gle at hand, in the malignity of the ra
vings of the Locofoco press, and the in
dustry with which the foulest and filthiest
libels on our candidates have lieen
strown, broad-cast, all over the State.—
We sny then, to the Whigs, "lose not a
moment by useless delay, but organize
at once, actively and efficiently. You
have every element of success that a glo
rions cause and unimpeachable cham
pions can command. Victory is certain,
if you will but stfive to win it, but success
is rarely the result of accident. In the
political world, as in the world of labor,
he who strives with most zeal, ptitience
and courage, arrives the soonest at the
goal." Therefore, friends of Old Zacli,
let us begin the good work without further
procrastination. Organize ! Organize ' !
ORGANIZE ! ! !
GENERAL CIRCULAR.
Washinoton City , June 24, 1848,
Sir :—The Undersigned were designat
ed by the National Democratic Commit
tee at the Baltimore Convention to serve
as an Executive Committee at Washing
ton, to aid by such means as may be with
in their reach the efforts of their friends
in other parts of the Uuion in the pend
ing Presidential canvass.
From the information already received
in this city, it is certain (that the leaders
of the Federal or Whig party will resort
to an extensive system of misrepresenta
tion, adapted, in its details, to every sec
tion in the Union, which they will render
more effective and mischievous by a tho
rough organization. To counteract these
designs and movements, it is incum
bent upon the Democratic party to be
equally as well organized, active, vigilant
energetic. Our friends should at once
make a thorough organization in every
State, County and District in the Union.
It should be so complete and perfect as
to reach every individual member of the
party. »
This being done, measures should at
once be taken to supply all voters with
documents, containing important infor
mation upon subjects which will be in
volved in the present canvass. Valuable
compilations will be made setting forth
the true issue* of the contest, and other
wise from time to time be prepared as the
canvass progresses to refute the misrepre
sentations and sophistries of our oppo
nents, and to sustain the principles and
policy of the Democratic party.
These complaints will be printed and
furnished at prices just sufficient to cover
the cost, (say at the rate of 50 cents per
100 copies,) and forwarded, franked, and
directed to any part of the Union.
We would therefore respectfully sug
gest the expediency of forming clubs, for
the purpose of disseminating political in
telligence among the people. Money in
tended for that purpose should be trans
mitted, post-paid, to Major B. B. French,
Treasurer of this city, which shall be
faithfully applied according to directions.
The Whigs have nominated their can
dinates without the avowal of any princi
pies, it becomes important to detect and
expose false issues, intended to operate
upon different sections of the Union. We
should therefore be glad to be speedily
informed of the grounds on which our op
ponents wage the contest in every section
of the country. Should the Whigs of the
North fraternize with the abolitionists,
this part should be exposed at the South,
togprevent them reporting to the people
that they are the only safeguards of her
peculiar interests.
Letters and papers showing the pro
gress of the cauvass, and exposing the
course ofthe Whigs in different sections
of the Union, should be directed to Henry
S. Foote, at Washington, who is entitled
to receive them free. Also, names of
persons to whom documents should be
sent.
Relying on your faithful co-operation,
in our common cause.
We have the honor to be, very respectfully,
\ nurobedien t servants.

[From the Albany Evening Journal.]
Gen. f ass' Retreat from Aux Canards
Bridge.
" He was ordered peremptorily by the
commanding General (Hull) to retire with
his command to Detroit."— Albany Ar
gus.
"Gen, Hull, instead of responding to
the ardor of the troops under Col. Cass,
near that hateful repository, (Maiden,)
ordered that officer and his command back
to camp.' 1 ''—Argus biography of Cass.
"Gen. Cass was peremptorily ordered
by Hull, his superior officer, to retreat
from Maiden, and march the troops
back to Detroit ; and he was obliged to
obey, however much it was against his in
clination."— Syracuse Democrat.
The first paragraph above quoted, was
in reply to an article which we published
on the 11th inst., and particularly to the
following portion of it 1 :
"While the American army was station
ed at Windsor, (Sandwich,j Gen. Cass,
accompanied by Col. Miller, was permit
ted by Gen. Hull, to make a reconnais
sance toward Fort Maiden. In approach
ing the Canards river, a party of British
troops was observed on the bridge.—
These were fired upon, and speedily re
treated in confusion. Instead of pursuing
them , Gen. Cass bivouacked on the bridge,
and sent a messenger to Gen. Hull, ask
ing him what he should do? Gen. Hull
replied that, he could remain or return,
just as he pleased—he would assume no
responsibility in the matter. Gen. Cass
returned : although, as his biographers
admit, if he had followed up his advan
tage, Fort Maiden would have 'fallen at
once.' "
It was not until yesterday that we were
able to lay our hands upon a work with
which we were familiar, (Forbes' Report
of the Srial of Gen. Hull) and which eon
tains the following justification of our
statement, and refutation of the denial of
the Argus, and the assertion of Cass'
Biographer :
Sandwich , 17th July, 1812.
Sir —I have received your letter of this
morning. To my astonishment, I have
not received the least information from
M'Arther. It is possible something un
pleasant has taken place. It will proba
bably be a week bçfore the cannon will
be mounted. I am sensible ofthe advan
tage of holding the bridge. I would not
however hazard too much for the pur
pose. The enemy may pass the ford
above and come in the rear. I will, how
ever, leave to your discretion and Col.
Miller's under all the circumstances of
the case, to do that which you judge most
expedient. Twelve miles are a great dis
tance—and the enemy can either land in
boats, above the mouth of river, or pass
at the ford to attack you. You know the
ground better than 1 do, and as I before
observed, I will leave the measure and the
force to your discretion and Col. Miller's
and the best mode of security to the
party.
I am very respectfully, your ob't servant,
W. HULL, Brig. Gen. Commander.
Col. Cass.
It is unnecessary to add a word to this
letter, which we quote to show how little
confidence can be placed in the state
ments of Gep. Cass' Biographers and
Eulogists.
ft/^To be victorious we must be sleep
less in our energies.
A Word to the Whigs.
" These are times to be met, not followed!"
We request all whigs who are iuert in
the cause of Taylor and their country, to
ponder upon the following admonitions,
so energetically given in the New Orleans
Evening National :
" The struggle has commenced- Our
opponents are moving Heaven and earth
to carry the election—everything that mo
ney profusely, lavishly expended, can ef
fect is being done. Principles, men,
truth, honor, justice, and our country are
cast aside, and all the untiring energies
ofthe most indomitable and best organ
ised combination of men the world ever
saw, are brought to bear in this contest,
—if, by such means Taylor can be de
feated, then will Lewis Cass or Martin
Van Buren be elected next President of
the United States. Have we any thing
to contend for? Have we principle*,
upon the establishment of which we be
lieve the happiness, honor and prosperity
of the country depend? Are these prin-1
ciples woirth contending for ? If ?hey
worth anything, and the whig party is
sincere in its professions of these princi
ples, then is it their duty as men, as whigs,
as patriots, to go to work !
We ccnnot triumph without an effort,
n strong and vigorous effort. We have
truth and right upon our side—truth,
right and the interests of the country with
which to meet the double dealing, specious
argumenta and unblushing misrepresen
tations of locofocoism. if these consti
tuted the only weapons with which the
foe would fight us, then we might hope to
win an easy victory. It is openly boast
ed by the most distinguished locofoco in
Louisiana that, this State shall vote for
Louis Cass if it takes half a million of
dollars' to secure that result. What do
they propose to do with that enormous
sum ? Print and circulate documents ?
By no means. One-tenth, or one-twen
tieth of that amount would literaJly flood
the State with documents, and less than
one-tenth of half a mil lion has already
sown broadcast over Louisiana, thou
sands and tens of thousand of speeches,
letters, lives, adresses and every other
form and character of print and argument
that mouey, ingenuity and a desperate
cause could procure or devise- These
papers, thus thrown among the people,
with the most judicious care and system,
that no antidote may ever reach the poi
son, are from beginning to end, tissues of
the most unblushing falsehoods, atffl
slanderous charges against Taylor and
Fillmore, and the whole w!«ig party
What then they propose to do with so
large a sum of money? Look to the
scenes enacted at Plaqueminejin 1844 for
an answer.
But shall all the error and falsehood
so widely published by our opponents
throughout the State all pass uncorrected?
There is no perpetual motion—no inhe
rent quality in the whig party, that it can
move of its own accord, and, unaided by
its friends, meet the forious and desperate
assaults of its foes. It will not do for
whigs to lay the flattering unction to their
souls that this struggle will win itself.—
Unless we act while action may serve our
ends, we will be doomed in Louisiana to
the most inglorious defeat that ever tar
nished the lustre of our arms. We have
fin abiding and unshaken confidence in
our strength, o<tr principles and our men.
Shallwe, by overweaning confidence,
make our veiy strength our weakness, and
ihe element of self-destruction ? Shall
we sacrifice our principles and the inter
ests of the country to our inactivity?
Every whig will answer No ! —and loco
foco office-holders will find in November
next that their half a million has been
spent in vain.
The Battle of Aux Canards.
At the commencement of the last wgr,
when Col. Cass was with Gov. Hull, in or
neai* Canada, he went out one day with a
few men and saw a squad of British sol
diers at a bridge called Aux Canards.—
When Cass's men got within gunshot
they fired upon the British, who fired
back again and ran. Cass had two men
slightly wounded. Such at least was his
own official account of the affair which
has been hunted up and published in all
the Locofoco papers in the country.—
The skirmish is now called "the battle of
Aux Canards." Wo do not suppose
there is a man in the United States who
remembers ever to have heard of "the
battle of Aux Canards" before the late
nomination of Gen. Cass for the Presi
dency. All the historians of the late war
with Great Britain though exceedingly
minute in their details, are silent in regard
to it, and there is no probability that any
man of the present generation would ever
have heard of it if Cass himself had not
hunted up his old report and got it pub
lished a few weeks ago in his Detroit
organ.
And now we do suppose our readers
will hardly be able to keep from laugh
ing when we inform them that the Loco
foco editors, East, West, North and
South, nre actually dwelling upon what
they call "thfc battle of Aux Canards" as
one ofthe most brilliant events in our
country's history. One of these editors,
in his glorification of it, uses an old
wood-cut of the battle of Bunker Hill to
illustrate th t sanguinary scene, and des
cribes it as if he were writing about the
field of Austerlitz or Waterloo. If you
would believe the locofoco editors, Mon
are|terey. Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, Cha
pultepec, and Molino del Rey all dwindle
into utter insignificance in comparison
with the terrible "battle of Aux Canards."
We are grieved however, that a Mr.
Stewart, one of the Indiana Locofoco
Senators, was a litte unfortunate the oth
er day in an attempt to describe this me
morable right. After glorifying the mili
tary character of Cass over that of Gen.
Taylor, Gen. Sc ;tt, and every body else,
he eloquently exclaimed : "Who of us,
fellow-citizens, what man or woman or
child, is not familiar with the name
and the glories of the immortal battle field
of—of—of—" but the discomfited orator
could not for the life of him think ofthe
name of the battle-field with which every
"man, woman and child" was supposed
to be to "familiar;" and, as no man, wo«
man or child present seemed able to come
to his relief, he had to sit down, leaving
the name of the terrible battle-field un
spoken,— Louisville Journal.
