politico anb Nemo: GEN. CASS AS AN EXECUTIVE. The following brief outline of Gov. CASs' admin istration of the North-west territory, manifests' that benevolence which has, always characterized his life. in such hand, power was well reposed, be cause he was fully equal to the trust. It is this reason why democrats with confidence urge his election to the Presidency. It is undoubted that there have been cases in our history, of men who liege been elevated to the Presidency; who were not large enough for the station, yet neither friend or foe expresses a doubt of Gen. Gsse ample capacity to discharge the Executive responsibilities of our' extended confederacy. A word may be said respecting his Michigan ad. ministration. Ile lied exercised the executive power of that territory since the autumn of 1818. He had placed the Indian policy of the . government on a high basis. As a civil ruler, his administration had been equally successful. A friend of equal rights—a believer in the full capaciy of men for self-government—a practical examp4r of the Jeffe simian doctrine that "honesty, capability, and faith fulness to the constitution," form the only test for office—and a scrupulous adherence to. those funda mental principles of our system which regard the rights of all, as emanating frems and subject 10, the judgmentofall, he early in his udministrution gave such tone and intelliretatien to the exercise of hie official authority, under the territorild system, as lifted the citizens of a remote frontier, placed under a degree of political pupilage by the ordinance of 1787, to the elementary privileges to which they' have inherent right under the full sovereignty or state system. • He was early of opinion, as denoted on a recent occasion, that "a more enlarged power has been exercised over the territories than is con veyed by the grant referred to.' 9 his Policy, as his printed messages to the local legislature for nine cosectitive years attest, was eminently democratic— eminently characterized for the non-exercise of pott er ,which had not been clearly expressed; and he freely gave the benefit of all doubts to those o hose beet interest was concerned in solving them. All sound and well considered popular opinions in mat ters of public duty; which were fairly expressed, came to him invested with authority.. lie improved the judiciary she fostered the militia system against '-ollinjudicious and ridiculous attempts to depress it, Us one of the safe-guards of the constitution. lie encouraged the.system of primary school educates!' to the fullest extent that the means of the people would bear—a system in which the State has taken high grounds, and is behind none of the States in its escellent organization. 'Polerntit-and hiehimin ded in his views of religious and moral instruction, he is known from the first to last to'have giten his official senctioh and influence to all. without any sectarian discrimination. In his views of the -cri minal c o de, be leaned to the side of mercy, and a just discrimination between mimes commitleden der shades of doubt or palliation: as to the degree of malice prepense governing the act, and deeming the feature of solitary confinement capable of prac tical extension, in some cases not rot ided for un der the imperfections of the cod& «In fact,' he o b s erved in his last message to the legislature, "the opinion'gains grotnid through the eiv , lized world, that human life has been too often sacrifie.l to un just laws, which seek the death of the offender ra ther than his reformation." Such were the pleading features of his administra tion, and the era is referred to by - tbe people as their patriarchal days. His personal hubits were equal ly mild, -He mingled freely ttith the people. He did not withhold himself Isom their popular sports and festisities. Unostentatious, mid free of ac ce s s , be o &Ole friend and counsellor of all—poor as well es rich. His house was open to all. Ile was n friend and patron of worthy young men of charac ter, to j whom -be was counsellor end guide. The distressed and perplexed citizens never came to his plain dwelling in vain. An evidence of his innate, kindness and ease of access to all, may be given in the case of a butcher of the town, a piniu and hon est man, Who, holding a subordinate commission in the militia, borrowed his sword and belt for a parade, which he (It'd not return for many years. Yet the borrower was never reminded of his remissness, nor a petulant remark ever made on the subject. lie ,mingled so blandly in the social circle, and dressed so entirely like others, that a stranger would scarce ly suspect his rank, were he not led to-it from the exalted tone and scope of, his conversation. On one occasion, being on an interior journey, a person t 6 whom he was a stranger, complained to hint of some flagrant infraction of the laws, and being struck with the justness of his repliee; inquired his name. But as the General still kept himself incog., the dealer in the wilderness requested that lie would represent the matter to Gov. Cass, at Detroit, whose just and manly character in administering the laws, was n sure guarantee, he said, that he would redress • the • grievance at once. In truth, the traveling liiirsot was in a remote part of Illinois, and far out 'of the civil boundaries of his civil jurisdiction. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAM'S. , According to the latest accounts from the Buffd o convention it is highly probable that the son of the deceased John Quincy Adams, has bcen 'marinated for the Vice President. Whether.the convention has or has not confirmed the report of its commit tee, the simple fact of having been named as a can didate_for the Vice Presidency dentauds some notice of the person thus presented to the people. •Charles Francis Adams has been educated in the school of Massachusetts whigery, which has ain Flys been of so peculiar a character, that democracy 'has been -ab'e to make-no impression noon it. This hind of whigery has been called federalism, and in Massachusettsthe federal party originated. Against the war of 1812,tthe federal party of Illas:zaelin,elcs , arrayed. While the American armies were contend ing against the Mexican, the Massachusetts legis lature was engaged in passing a resolution, declar- Qing that the Mexican war was a crime, and that all engaged in, it were participators in the crime. Re siding in a state thus peculiarly disting,mshed for devotion to whigery, and characteristic federal op position to the course of the ,country in the time of war, Mr. Adams, by his support of the prevailing party, has won the character of a firm, consistent whig, or federalist,'Of the Massachusetts stamp.— The people of that State, confiding in his attach ment to the whig principles,'sent him to the Assem bly and the Senate. For some years past, Mr. Adams had been the editor of the Boston SVhig, a journal of influence and standing in that city. In these different position's he has exhibited his devotion to whigery, and his hostility to the demo cratic. party. As a candidate for the vice presiden cy in connexion with Martin Van Miceli, he gives one additional proof that the animosity against the democracy of the Union. cherished during his whole life, remains in its original purity and strength, 'un diminished by time, and unchanged by his new as sociation. Stich is the candidate- for whom danocrats are ulled Upon to vote. Such is the political partner with whom. Mr. , Van Buren has joined in the at tempt to crush the national democracy. to create gemzmphicill discriminations;•arid to produce strife, canfusion.•and hostility in every t3ection of the Un ion.—Utica Observer•. 01:xxitAr, TA vr.ons iscomi.;.—General Taylor, on ,the score of econmuY, refuses ull letters but those which are post paid.

But when such creatures abuse the brave soldiers, who have perilled their' lives in defence tif' their country, it will have the undoubted eff et ofilriving hosts of honest men from the whig par y into the Democratic motto. There was an immensemeeting of the Democra cy of Bucks aunty, on the fifth tilt., at which 5000 of the real lame and sinew, were in attendance.— Among the dilstinguished speakers present was Fes. M.

Let the bodies of the brave officers and me i n who fell along the National Road sustain me 'n what I say of the terrible destruction which this horrible system caused.

Every body knows FRED EMMONS, the steamboat runner an d wag of Buffulobut every body does not knowl how he "took in "the ,Michigan delega tion at. the late "free soil," Convention. On the morning of the "great day" a gaunt long heeled pr cession was seen coming up from the river and traveling through the city, making a wonder ful dispittly of badges and . free soil ribbons. Em mons, ourthe lookout for game, assuming to be a committee of several, walked up to the head of the delegatin 1, and asked if they were provided with quarters—not two shillin pieces—but a place to "put up."

The only southern seaboard State which the wisigtia month ago regarded as sure fOr' them, was .North Carolina. This State, since Taylor was nomina ted, has b'een 'claimed more confidentially- by the whigs than any other State in the Unioncisave only Kentucky. In North 'Carolina we have so utterly annihilated the whig Majority of six or seven thousand, that the °MIMI i returns Must be waited for to decide whether Manley or Reid be the Governor, and whether there be a tie on joint bdll tin the legislature r —which, if not so tied, i ill be demo ratic!

The Roorbacks aro gradually diminishing in respectabili: ty, and are becoming so insignificant, that the more re spectable Whig Jeuruals will not touch them. Whether the one below is of the latter kind, we leave to the sa gacity of our neighbors of the Whig press in this city. who, from long experience in "the article," can best judge of its quality.

But to the anirtud itself—it is as "fat and sleek" as ono of Gen Taylor's "niggars" and is warranted "genuine." "It appears," so says the "Roorback," that Gen.

It so luippened, that on the day after his arrival, the Free Masons had a grand procession, which was to conclude with a grand dinner. The General, among other distinguished strangers; was invited. The invita tion extended to Gen. Cass was promatly and politely ac cepted. When the dinner hour drew nigh, several of the leading masons called to accompany the General to the hotel, whore the geed cheer awaited them. They walk ed on, arm in arm, in the finest glee imaginable, until they arrived within about fifty! yards of the hotel. At this point, the General was brought up all standing by a thought that Bashed across his mind like an electric shock. Ho stood as still as a lamp post, and rolled his eyes around on his Wondering companions without speak ing a word. "My‘dear General," exclaimed one of the party, "what in the world is the matter?" " 'l' is, an apoplectic fit,'' whispered another, "run for the doctor. , By this time, however, the General recovered the fuse of his.tongue, , and ho stammered . out: My friends I I think it would bo bad policy in me to participate with you on this occasion.

Ho said that in his own regiments, consisting of 640 men, oviir 600 were for Cass and Butler. This was so' in the I', Carolina regiment, and tIM sentiments of the - Virginia 1 regiment were the same. 1• . 1 I Here is another.

For by what revolu mental principles of governthont can the dgment upon the acts of the legislative. no republicen Government or even a ty, invests the presume judicial tribunal i power to decide upon the expediency of menus.

It would make those, who are the farthest removed from the people, the legiti 'mato source off power, guardians of their rights and in terests. What security would the people have tinder such.circumstauces, against the unjust control and con--'I tinual encroachments of those whom they cannot get at lawfull unless by the forcible means of la political rev olution. True policy, then, and the rights of the peo ple, dictate that the judges shouldseever carry into the exposition of tho laws any prepossessions- in regard to them, which would inevitably be the result were they al -1 lowed any participation in making the laws. For certainly 'tithing can be clearer than that the judges in eXereis lug the functions of expositors, would , be 'influeaced by the part they Ilia taken in passing the laws. Besides, having such a Tevisionary powerover the acts of the leg islature, the judges would be strongly tempted to form ail undue coalition with the former, and the result would be that the executive, instead of being ena'iled to defend himself against the encroachments of the other branches, would be entirely at their mercy, and they would be en- übled to sacrifice him, to their own interest. • Another great source of evil to be apprehended from• the judicial negatire, which is perceptible even now in the authority which Lie judiciary' have to decide Kam the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress, is the difficulty derived from the circuitous method of bringing all questions within the jurisdiction of this tribunal. ' An action must he brought in the name of some par ty, and all' the prolonged, intricate and complicated for malities of a suit at late, with nil its customary delay. must be goiM through with before the Supreme Court is competent to make a final decision ; the ultimatum of the. whole matter s that a great many of the evils which are consequent u on the passage of impolitic and inexpedi ent measures, are actually realized before they are brought before the elpetent tribunals for decision. But it is al together out f the province of a.

The' legis alive being the sovereign power in any State, create the judiciary, and prescribes the appropri ate bounds o • the sphere in which it should act, and if :it should by an • means become co-extensive and c.-power erful with th legislature, the strange spectacle would be exhibited of h perfect equality between the creature and [ . ii ATI°.
