REMARKS OF GEN. CASS.. On the Bill 'granting to the State ofillinois thp Right of way, and a donation of public lands-fur Mak ing a Rail Road connecting the epee' end !lover 311esitaippi with the chain of northern lakes at Chi cago, Gen Casa said: . -t; As I intend to vote for this bill, I wish to ear a I very few words in regard to it. - The enbjectf has been often before the Senate; and the Senator Coin .Connecticut has as often rciterated his icruples, tak ing the same ground that he has taken to-day, and •carefully - avoided the grounds upon which_ the bill ;rests-. Iltis bill does not touch the question of in ternal improvement at all. It asserts no right on the part of this government !to lay out a road; or to regulhte• the censtrolism of a road. The federal government - is agreat landholder; it possesses an extensive_ptiblic domain: and we have the power, tinder the-constitution, to dispose -of that domain; -and a very unlimited power it is. The simple questionds, what disposition we may make of the public lands! No one will contend for the doctrine that we cannot give them away to a State. As the' 4Seiiator 'from 'Kentucky has said, every President has signed_ bills asserting the principle that these 'lands may be disposed of by the general government, without restriction as the purpose of such dispos ition. We may bestow them for school purposes, -or we may bestow-a portion fur the purpose of im-. proving' the value of the rest. What right have you to sit still and see-your lands growing in value, through the instrumentality of individuals, without rendering any aid in furtherance of that object! It is the settlement of the lands that make them vale able• It is the settler who converts the howling wil tk.rness into fruitful', fields. It is the labor and en terprise of the settler that has given you in the west a magnificent empire, and one which has arisen with in so brief a period that it is almost incomPrehensi ible. When I told the story in Europe, that I had crossed the Ohio when their were! scarcely twenty thousand people in that country, and that it now con tains five millione,'they did not laugh in my face, to he sure, but they did nut believe what-I said. There is no parallel in the history of man—no such splen did tribute to human industry,and enterprise—since the first man went out of the garden of Eden. It is not twenty-five years ago that I sat all ,night in a canoe at: the head of the pond at Chicago, there be ing nohuman habitation in which we could obtain shelter from the month of he Illinoise to the shelter from of the Chicago river; and now it is one of th great highways of travel between the northern lakes and the occean. Sir, I hope the' 'gentleman will put this upon its true ground, leaving out, the constitutional question, and ta king alone into consideration what is your duty as landholders in a new country—a county, too, which must derive its improvement frim the industry and enterprise of our own population, where every stroke of the woodman's axe redounds to your advantage. Thelon') who site down with his family in the wil derness to make for himself a home, evinces more moralcourage than the man who goes into battle, No man who has not experienced the - difficulties and • dangerslie has to encounter, can estimate them. I appeal to the Senator frorri Connecticut to look - at it in this point of view. Ile is. from an old country, where such improvements have been ready made to his hands by his great-great-grandfather. ,Roads have been made and bridges built for his occommt dation•, but he must recollect that, his cotempora ries, his friends around him, his children. perhaps, are going into this new country and enduring pri vations to make that valuable which was not so be fore, , FROM MEXICO. Orizimbs, May the 16, 1848 .—On the highest pin nacle of the frozen summit of Orizaba waves the Star-Spangled Banner' 80, you . may tell Mr. Polk, his cabinet, and all Congress assembled, that they may_ pass'what laws they please, make treaties, and the Mexicans issue pronuncicmentos, but stilt will the American flag wave over their country; for who will go up there to pull it downy Ilumbort tried it and failed; it defeated his utmost exertions; and it was one of the few instances where heever gave up an undertaking that he once resolved upon. But he pronounced the feat impracticable. But few others have ever attempted it since, t.nd all came•back with terrible accounts of the dangers of the undertaking; so the work was left for Yankee sailors and Yankee soldiers. For two or three days the party were • • heir re ,arations—the blacktiniths -- - the seam were making to -ladders, anow-shoes. Etc. -Everything being ready the patty started off, composed of Maj. Manigautt and Lieut. Reynolds, U. S. A.; Lieut. Maynard, of the Navy; Lieut. Rodgers, do.; Capts. Lomax and Higgins, of the Alatirima Volunteers; Copt. White, lir. Banks and Adjutant Hardaway, 30 soldiers, and two sailors of the Naval Batterry. The second day they encamped 12,000 feet above the level of the sea with the ther mometer standirig ponsiderably below the freezing point. Here they had an abundance of wood, and built fires all around them; but with all their pre cautions few slept'a wink, on account of the cold. At early daylight the fo lowing morning the - whole party set out. They were soon in the sitew and ice, end now came the tug—the air become more ratified at every step, niade'it necessary to step and pant for breath; but they had not ascended mere than 3000 feet higher tip, before the whole party, with a few exceptions, were seized with a painful nausea and vomiting; still they tugged on, unwilling to give it tip. But the party was dinsinishing—the great rare faction of the air and coolness painfully affected a great stymy, and compelled them to return: and when the Summit was reached, all had given out but five, viz: Manigault, Lieut. Maynard, Lieut. Reynolds, Captain Lomax and Passed Midshipman Rodgers. Here they shook hands and sat down to rest from labors and enjoy the glorious prospects before them --Puebla, Jalapa, Cordova, the 90 miles oft,, and a host of villages on the plan. They descended a short distance into the crater, and brought up some beau tiful specimens of chrystals and lava, and a large quantity of the most beautiful specimens of Sulphur. After ell this was done, the ceremony of planting the American flag was gone through. The Navy had this honor, and honor they were fairly entitled to, having sat down in the snow over the night and made it of three shirts. Fortunately. the sailors were dressed in blue - and red shirts, which, with Lt. Rogers' white one, furnished all the colors. It must have been amusing enough to have seen the sit ting down there by the blazing faggotts.sewiug.' and OpiverlAg, ,The flag has but 13 *tars, after the Old original 9 . 3 states. A bottle was likewise left, con taining a paper nab the names of the successful tw. The barometer which was taken up ceased to indicate more than /7,300 feet, and when it ran out they were, as I learn, at least 1,000 feet from the top. This would make the height 18,300 feet, in stead of 17,500, as heretofore estimated; and this makes it the third highest mountain in the world, and higher than Popov:10Tel. When the party re turned they slid down on the ice and snow. The citizens of Orliaba do not believe them when they say that they have been on the summit, and the era ,ter.tind unfortunately there is no such thing as a spyglass in the city, or they might see the ;tip.. They would as soon believe that a man had visited the nether world end returned, as the top of the mountain. With a telescope, the flag ought to be seen, nn a clear tlav from Vera Cruz. -account kas glien me biotic of the officers who went up.-- I have Seen and talked with the whole party.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT, Gen. Wm.o. Butler, or lIENTIJCKY. PARTY NAMES There always will and ought to'be two parties in this country. The very nature of our institutions demands it. The ono will represent those principles of popular liber ty Promulgated byJetTerscin—that confidence in the mas ses which never distrusts ultimately their judgment, but when falsehood and humbugery Dave led them astray, hopefully looks forward 'to their return to their, true intesests and true faith—while the other represents that system of political economy which is briefly embraced in the dogma of " Let the government 'take care of the rich, and the rich will take care of the poor." The first J 9 a party of progress, and whatexer is wise and good. calculated to elevate the masses, of which it is compos ied, it readily avails itself. The latter is its opposite. It seeks amid the musty tomes of ancient writers on gov ernment, rules of for the present geaeration. It distrusts the people's capacity for self-government. and like a miser, would debar the " outside barbarians" from a participation in the heaven-born influence of our pop lar institutions. The first are styled Democrats-411e latter Federalists, and many are the complaints of otir friends because we do not, at all times, so designate thri-h t They are, emphatically, a party of expediency. At they wore proud of the name Federalist, but a succession of defeels rendered it odious to tho people, and it beca4s o ye expedient to change it, and they contended for ,s againit the Democracy under the name of National De publicans. Not having modernized any of their political uhtions, they met with no better success, and in due time that, also, became thread-barn. About this time Ari i ti- Masonry came like a God-send, and they bestrode it with out saddle or bridle, and soon rode it to death. Then it was, with its carrion Carcass stinking in every man's nos trils, that they re-baptized themselves. and came ,out Whig. We do not really know who it was that acted as political high-priest in this baptism, but believe the honor belongs to Wm*, of the Now York Courier and Enqui rer. Certain it is. a more appropriate selection could not have been made from, among the horde who " bent the supple hinges of the knee" around the patriot Jackson, " that thrift might follow fawning," but who disappoint ed, found in the vaults of the United States' Bank a healingbalm for all their wounds. A nioro palpable mis nomer, however. could not have been selected ; but this, probably. was its chief recommendation. The words " Whig" and " Democrat," aro in reality. almost synon ymous in their moaning, and do not, it will bo perceived, express the real diir.irence between the two parties. ' The term "Whig." wo believe, originated inthp seven teenth century, in tho reign of the Charles's of England. and was used to designate the advocates of popular rights, in contradiatinction.to the tonics, or upholders of kingly power and prerogative. In this souse it was first used by our forefathers in the revolution. How far the Whig ;Tarty of the present day are entitled to be considered the advo cates of popular rights, is easily to -be perceived: We think it was these self-styled "advocates of popular rights" that with 'bayonet and ball opposed the Democracy of Rhode Island hi their attempts to peaceably get rid of a , ronstikaion or charter granted by one of these same Charles's. of England. How well the term "Whig" fits the shoulders of such a party! Then, we believe it was these same "advocates of popular rights," that when the isattnifplegrAtaArhkrimteeta 51r5.7piigliifol iowers to "treat the election as though it had not taken place," and called out the militia to *event the instate lion of the-people's chosen representatives. Verily, how well the . term "Whig" applies herei - These "advocates of popular rights," have opposed every measure calculated , toadvance tho great cause of political freedom—they have adiocated every dogma in political economy at variance with the elevation and in terests of the masses, and have invariably in their ap peals to the people,Nsought to roach their hearts, and ob tain their support, through their pockets instead of their patriotism. Are we engaged in a War iredefenee oll:pr soil and flag,--to redress the murder" of our. citizens, the impressment of tilly seamen, or the' sanctity . of our fire sides--ibe-c_q of "gold," "gold" is rung In tho vars of the people, ata - ta bon hold up as the groat bug-bear to frighten them from suppo 'rig_ it.!

They confine our institutions to tho original limits of th federacy, because they distrust the intelligence people. For this reason they have successively oi l tho acquisition of Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Mexico and California. And this is tho party that arrogates to itself the r vered name of "whig," the "advocates of popular rights, par excellence. These are, tho principles of the party that call us "Locofocos," and will not allow that we aro Ina /vats. Ought we not, if we would be just, call them by their true appolation—Rdsra/1 Certiinly—but th n, there are many honest, gentlemanly men among the . whose feelings wo• would fain 'Spare, for they aro of resPonsiblo for tho, lots -/trfl black-guardism exhibit d by their Editors and Orators in styling tho - Democr "Locofocos."

Mr. Geci.

C.tss's election has been "knocked itilti a cocked hat," by the Gazette of yesterday morning. The destruc tive missile u-ed in accomplishing this, is a purported ex tract from "Niles Register," which asserts-that in 1799 or 1800, he wore a "black cockade in his hat." I Inasmuch as Gen. CASS was born in 17 8 .2, which at 1799 or 1800, would make h m 17 or 18 years of age, this fact must have an important bearing on his political prospects, and to. tally obliterate his claim to be considered a Democrati.:--. The fact that he has enjoyed the confidence of eve'll- Dentocraiir administration, front .fdrersett's down to the' present day, don't weigh a straw against sur4 evidence. The fact that he has advocated the pr:neiples and mea sures of the Democratic party fur ore:. /arty years—almost half a century—is nothing in colimarison to the assertion that, while a hay, he wore a "black cockade in his hat." By:the same course of reasoning used by those who make` this change, we arrive at the conclusion that because they wore aprons and frocks before they, became large enough for breeches, they aro now fed pop with a spoon.

AN UNKIND SLOT.—Some of the whig papers occa'sion ally make a remark, which evinces the - real estimation in which they hold the renegades in New York who are en, deavering to betray the part• to which they owe -every thing, because they are not allowed to have every thing their own way. While they love the treason, they de spise the traitor. For instance, here is a remark from the Providence Journal: -"We have already said that we have very little confi dence in the honesty of the Barnburners, but we havefull faith hi their malice. They care very little for free soil, hut they hate the Hunkers with a hatred in which there is no hypocrisy. It is this which gives us hope that they will remain true to each other, and hold fast their opposi tion to theßahiirioremominties." PitErosri:onc.3.—The story circulated by the wnig pa pers that Martin Vtirilltrivu has declared his deternfina tion not to support tho Baltimore nominees, is prepbster aus—absurd—a ridiculous invention of the enemy.— WhateVer Mr. Van Buren may fed, he is too crafty a politician to express his fcplings, and thus give.,.aid and comfort" to the enemy.
