ILt multiplied aggressions left' us no recourse but war: and the statesmen of the day prepared for it with firmness. As one of the preparatory arrangements, it was determined to march a considerable force to the north western r.i.o fm- .itThnri--* nr rlpiV>iKivp meas ures, as circumstances might nyirler it necessary. The command was given to General Hull; and a regiment of regular troops, which, hud fought with credit at Tippecanoe, was assigned to hint.— To this were To be added three regiments of Ohio volunteers. As soon as this demand 'upon their patriotism was known, the citizens ol that State hastened to the call of their count)y, and the force was raised without delay or difficulty. Mr. Cass was among the volunteers, and was elected to the command of the third regi ment. He proceeded immediately with his regi ment to Dayton, where the army was concentrated, and whence it commenced its march for Detroit. The country was a trackless forest, and much of it was low and wet. Great difficulties were inter posed to the advance of the troops by the streams and marshes, and by the necessity of cutting a road. But these were overcome with the usual good will ami perseverance of the American soldiers. The army reached Detroit on the -Ith of July, ISI2. Official information that war would be declared, overtook them in the wilderness; but the declara tion itself was not received until they reached De troit. Col. Cass was perhaps more earnest for an invasion-of Canada than nny other officer in Hull's army. He w<is decidedly in favor of making an early anil decisive movement, before the British should be prepared for the invasion. \Ye conceive it to be no dfsparagement to any one to say that lie was the master-spirit of that army until the affair ; at the Canadas ; after which, it is known he disap- I proved of- every step taken by the commanding general. There cun now be no doubt that Hull's army never would have entered Canada but for the persuasions of Col. Ciiss. So anxious was ho to push forward and do something to meet the just expectations of the administration and the countrv, that he comanded the advanced detachment, and icas the first man to land in arms in the enemy’s coun try. On the 15th of July he was ordered to attack a British detachment stationed ai the river Aux Canards, about fifteen miles from - Detroit, and five miles from Fort Malden, then the British head quarters. He crossed the river some distance above the enemy's post, and briskly attacked them; when, after some loss, they fled. Here was spilt the first blood during the last war. Col. Cass took posses ion of the abandoned position, and immediately de spatched a messenger to Gen. Hull, informing him of his success, and advising him to march imme diately to Fort Malden—the road to which was opened. Hud this been done, success must h ivc crowned the operation, and the war, in that quarter, would have been over. He was, however, sadly disappointed by the indecision of Hull, who ordered him to return and join the army. From This mo ment bad counsels prevailed, the army lost all con fidence in Hull, and he proceeded in his own course, regardless of the advice or remonstrance of his officers. About three weeks after the affair at the Canards, the whole army was ordered across the the river to Detroit: in which time, had Col. Cass' advice been taken, Malden might have been reduced, and a secure lodgment made in Upper Canada. The order of Hull to return was not less unexpected to the army than was the disgraceful surrender at Detroit, without a shot being fired, overwhelming to the country. T. C. WILEY. tf-13 Breaks his sword at Hull's Surrender of On entering Canada, General Hull distributed a proclamation among the inhabitants, which, for the ejcgance and high spirit that it contained, can not be surpassed: but it was sadly in contrast with the fulfilment of its professions. Unfortunately’ for the country, the author of the proclamation, Col. Cass,'was not the commander of the army. Had he been so, the country would have been saved the mortification of beholding the-descent from the promise to the fulfilment. As it was, he used every exertion to arouse in the commanding general that spirit of patriotism which breathes in every line of the admirable paper, but in vain. A spirit of in fatuation, or something worse, seized upon Hull, and led him on from one false step to another, until the crowning act, the surrender of Detroit, without firing a gun, completed his own ruin, and brought disgrace upon the arms of his country. It is well known to the country that both Col. Cass and Col. McArthur were detached from Detroit previous to the surrender, ostensibly for provisions, but, in fact, because they were unwelcome counsellors at head quarters. Stung with mortification on hearing of the surrender, Col. Cass, when ordered to deliver up his sword, indignantly shivered it in pieces, and threw it to the earth,, refusing to surrender it to | the enemy.

Severe Battle with the British, Detroit. *—Buchanan Appointed a Brigadier General—and Services tinder Gen . Harrison at the Battle of the Thames. After the surrender of Detroit, Col. Cass repaired to Washington, to a report to the government the whole circumstances attending the expedition. He was exchanged during the winter, and in the spring was appointed a Brigadier General. Shortly alter this, he joined Gen. .llarrisqn at Seneca, where the army was collecting, destined to recover the terri tory of Michigan, ami to take possession of the western district ofTinpor Canada. The prepaid* tnry arrangements being completed, and- the lake being open to the triuisportntion ot mu' troops by tlic victory of Horry, Gen. llurrison commenc'd hi* movement in Septenile'i', I*l M, and embarked hi* troopN nt tl»e montlbof Portage river, whence they moved, anil were concentrated at Put.in-hay, Prom here they nailed to the Western Sister, a Munll inland oil' the coast of Cuimdn, where, being all collected, the fuml arrangements were made. The debarkation was superintended and directed by Gen. Cass, of the army, and Captain Elliott, of the navy; and the troops landed in perfect order, ex pecting to meet a formidable resistance. But the enemy hud lied, after destroying the, public build- Kentucky Testimony of Gen. Harrison . Gcuerdl Harrison, in bis report of the battle of the Thames, dated October 9, ISI3, says : -I have already stated, that General Gass and Commodore Perry assisted me in forming the troops for the action. The former is an officer of the highest promise, and the appearance of the brave Commodore cheered and animated every breast.’’ The battle of the Thames terminated the North western campaign, and put an end to the war in that quarter, but not to the difficulties or importance of the command. The United States being once more in the possession of the Territory of Michi gan. and of the province of Upper Canada, Gen. Cass was assigned, temporarily, the command of the district, and General Harrison withdrew with his army. Appointed Governor of Michigan by Mr. Madison, On the bth of October. 1813. he was appoint ed by President Madison governor of Michigan, at that time- one of the most important civil offices within the gift of the Executive. He was the civil as well as military governor of a large territory, having many hundred miles of exposed frontier, tilled and almost surrounded with numerous tribes of hostile Indians, in the pay of the British government, and constantly excited to acts oi hos tility by British agents. Asa prool of the delencless state of the country, it may be mentioned, that incursions were made by the Indians, and some persons made prisoners, and others killed within sight of the town of De triot, and three expeditions of mounted militia hast ily collected, were led by Governor Cass in pursuit of the Indians, and some of them were killed with in hearing of the town. ,A single incident will show the nature of those excursions in the forests in pursuit of the Indians. General Cass's servant, who rode immediately in his rear, had a personal rencontre with an Indian, who started from behind a tree.and havingdischar ged his rifle, attacked him with the but-end, and was killed after a short conflict. , But peace came to put an end to this state of things. The executive power oi the Territory was almost unlimited, and the legislative power was in the hands of the governor and judges until 1819. TUaPGovernor Cass performed well his highly im portant and delicate duties, the whole body oi the people of Michigan will bear us witness; and the fact of his haying been seven times nominated by four successive Presidents, and seven times confirm ed by the Senate, without a single vote against him in that body, or a single representation against him from the people over whom be presided—a state of things unexampled in the history of our territorial governments —-is a sufficient proof of the wisdom of his administration. In the discharge of his duties as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Governor Cass was called upon to enter into many negotiations with the Indian tribes, and often under circumstances of great peril and responsibility. He formed twenty-one treaties with them, and extinguished their title to nearly one hundred millions of acres of land—a vast do main acquired for the United States; but upon terms so just and satisfactory to the Indians, that no couT plaint was ever made by them upon the subject. Heroic act against the India)^ There are two indidents connected with the for mation of these treaties, which strongly illustrate Governor Cass’s judgment and decision ot character. In the expedition of 1 820, it became his duty to inform the Indians atSault de Ste. Marie of the in dention of our government to establish a military post there, and to flic upon the site lor the same. The chief of the tribe was openly opposed to the United States, and in the pay of the British govern ment. In consequence ot this, they heard the in tention of Governor. Cass with apparent ill-will, and broke up the councils, with the most hostile feeling. On returning to their encampment, they removed their women and children into Canada; and having prepared themselves for battle, raised the British flag, as a token of defiance. Governor Cass had but a small detachment of soldiers with him, w hile the Indians numbered eight hundred warriors.— Unaccompanied, except by his interpreter, he ad* vanced directly into -their midst, and with his own hands pulled down the flag,, trampled it under his feet, and afterwards burned it, ordering the inter preter to inform the Indians that ‘‘they were with iu the jurisdiction of the United States, and that no other flag than theirs could be permitted to wave over it." The moral influence of this bold act had the desired effect: the Indians returned the next day to the council, and the treaty was conclii- ded, without any further threats or insults. On | ayiving at Green Bay. in 1527, for the purpose of forming a treaty. Governor Cass found that the Winnebago Indians had*uot yet come in; and as the object of the treaty was to settle difficulties among some of the tribes, the toon-appearance of the Winnebngoes was an evidence ol their desire lor war rather than peace. He immediately re embarked on hoard his birch canoe, for their camp ing ground, to prevent any hostilities, and to bring them to tin' treaty ground. He rapidly pursued hi* voyage up the Fox river, across the portage, anil down the Wisconsin, to the place of encampment. Taking with him only Ids interpreter, he w ent up to the encampment, where ini Inund them in war like iinxid, and dolermined not "to treat. Threats mid entreaties were alike unavailing with thi» ex asperated tribe. He left them, ami returned to Ins canoe. Ashe lumetflo go to dig river, a young warrior raised his gnu, ami taking deliberate aim at him, pulled the trigger; but, prn\ ideutially, the gnu missed lire. Thi* is the only insumoo of vio lence ever offered to him during the long period of his intercourse with the Indians. He proceeded immediately to Prairie du Chicn, where he organi zed the inhabitants, and placed them in a condition of defence, and returned to the treaty ground. By his prompt and energetic movements he prevented extensive hostilities, tlie end of which no man could kpow. . i Appointed Secretary of IVar by Andrew Jackson—Supports him in all the great measures of his Administration In IS3I, Gen. Cass was called by Gen. Jackson to take charge of the War Department, and his removal from Michigan-Territory was marked by a universal expression of regret. His colleagues in the cabinet were Mr. Livingston, Mr. McLane, Mr. Woodbury, and Mr. Taney—men who posses sed the confidence of the President and soon acquir ed that of Jhc country’. The characteristic traits of General Jackson's administration have now pass ed into history. It was Cold, prompt, honest, and national. It sought no dangerous constructive powers, and it endeavored carefully to exercise those of which it was the trustee, for the American confederation. The great questions of the bank, of the removal of the deposites, of nullification, of the French indemnity, and of the Creek and Cher okee difficulties—three of which involved delicate points connected with State rights—occupied its attention, and were all happily disposed of. Few, if any, now call in question the wisdom of Gen. Jackson's course upon these important subjects, though it is difficult now to realize the intense an xiety they excited, and the momentous consequences which hung upon their decision So far as the War Department necessarily took any immediate course in these questions, it was prompt and energetic, and met with the approbation of the country. At the portentous period of nullification, the • military orders were firm, but discreet, and it appeared by a message from the President, in answer to a call upon that subject, that no order had teen at an;/ time given to '■resist the constituted authorities of the Stute of tiouth Carolina , within the chartered limits of said State.'' The orders to Gen. Scott informed him that, "should, unfortunately, a crisis arise when the ordinary power in the hands of the civil officers should not be sufficient for the execution of the laics, the Presi ! dent would determine the course to be taken, and the ' measures to be adopted ; till then he was prohibited ! from acting." The same caution marked the order to the troops when there seemed to be danger of a collision with the authorities ol Alabama, arising out of occur rences upon the lands of the United States in that State. In proof of this, we quote the following extract of a letter from the War Department, writ ten by Governor Cass to Major Mclntosh, and dated October u'J, ) ft.’-U;. ‘•Sin: Your letter of the 21st instant to Major General -Macomb has been laid before me; ami, in • lluvi; in miOllli von iiiti i on win niicipusc no obstacle to the service of legal process upon any officer or soldier under your command, whether is suing from the courts of the State of Alabama, or of the United States. On the contrary, you will give all necessary facilities to the execution of such process. It is not the intention of the President that any part of the military force of the United States should be brought into collision with the civil authority. In all questions of jurisdiction, it is the duty of the former to submit to the latter, and no consideration must interfere with that duty. ; If. therefore, an officer of the State, or of the United ; States, come with legal process against yourself, or : an officer or soldier of your garrison, you will freely admit him within vour post, and allow him to ex , ecute his writ undisturbed." Appointed Minister to France by Undrew Jackson. In lS3fi. General Cass was appointed minister* to France, and immediately resigned his post. as Sec retary of War. On retiring from the department, he received a letter from General Jackson express ing warm personal feelings towards him, and com mending his whole official conduct. He sailed from New York in the month of October. As diploma tic relations had not been fully re-established with France, he was-directed to proceed to England, and there ascertain the views of the French govern ment. lie found that a French minister had been appointed to this country, and he -immediately re paired to Paris and took up his residence there. After his recognition, his first official duty was to procure the interest due upon the twenty-fite mil lions of francs indemnity, which had been retained when the principal was paid. After some hesita tion this was effected ; and thus this great contro versy. which at one time threatened such grave consequences was happily closed. Makes a Tour to the East. In 1837. Gen. Cass made a tour to the east, lie visited Italy, Sicily, Malta. Greece, the islands of the Archipelago, Constantinople, and the Black Sea, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. He was at Florence. Palermo, Athens, Corinth. Eleusis, Salamis, and the battle-fields of Plataja, Le.uctra, Cheronaea, and -Marathon—at the plains ol Troy, at Alexandria. Cairo, and the Pyramids; at Jaffa, Jerusalem, Beth lehem, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, the Sea of Tiberias, Tyre. Sidon, Baalbec. and Damascus. Memorable places these, and calculated to excite strong emo tions in the mind of an American who had passed a large portion of his file amid the toils and priva tions of a new country. His Return to Paris. Alter his return to Paris, Gen. Cass resumed the duties of his mission, and continued in their regu lar execution till its termination, lie was prover bial lor his kindness and hospitality to his country men, none of whom were denied his’aUcntions, and few of whom visited Paris without being invited to his house. His observations upon the government and people of France were given to the public in the page's of the Democratic Review, in an article entitled France, its King, Court, and Government," which most of our readers will probably recollect. Among other literary papers he published in this country, was one upon the French tribunals of jus tice. which contained much information interesting to an American, and in which the author expressed his decided condemnation of the system of the English common law, looking upon it as a code originating in feudal and almost semi-barbarous times, anil utterly unsuited to our condition and in stitutions. This opinion is fast gaining ground, and we trust the time is rapidly approaching when l his relic of feudal tyranny—this perfection of sense as it is called, but this perfection of nonsense as it in many cases.is will give way to reason and justice. Pamphlet on the u Right of Search." In 1841 arose the well-known question of the % quintuple treaty, in which General Cass acted a prominent and an efficient part. The British gov ernment, in its scheme of maritime superiority, which it never abandons any more than its plans of teritorial aggrandizement, projected a plan, by which, under the pretence of abolishing the slave trade, her ships of war would have been enabled to search and examine, and ultimately to seize the vessels of other nations at their pleasure. This plan was to form a treaty, to which the five great powers of Europe should be parties, by ’which means a new principle in the law oUnations would be established, and. our flag, among others, prostra ted at the feet of England. This treaty was nego tiated and actually signed by the ministers of the live powers—those of England, France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria—before the nature of the trans action was fully understood by the world. It fie came disclosed before- the Tatificatiohs wire'ex changed with the French government General Cass published a pamphlet which entered Jeeply inro the whole matter, and \yhich was trat slated into French and German, and extensively circula ted upon the continent. It awakened the public attention, and created a great sensation fiVen In England. The London Times, in announcing it, said: { . “It is a shrewd performance, written witliißoun‘ spirit, much bold assertion of facts, ami a very au dacious unfairness of argument, which is mther amusing, when contrasted, with a certain trine of gentlemanly candor, which is occasionally adopted Sven in the'very act ol pefnrmiiig some eVhia'most glaring nervcrslons," I In addition, also, to the pamphlet, he pt'eseijtcd a protest to tin* Fmich governim'iil against the niti liculion of tlu- treaty, In doing this, he slated that ho had no instruction*^do pursue such a course-, and adds: | *• I have pursued, in the views 1 have submitted to you, [M, Unbent, the French Minister of Foroign Arturs,] that l express the feelings of the American government mid people. If in this 1 have deceived myself, the responsibility will be mine. As as 1 can receive despatches from the United States, in answer to my communications, 1 shall be ena bled to declare tn you either that my conduct thas been approved by the President, or that my mission is terminated/’ „ 1 But he did not deceive himself. His course was warmly applauded by the American . people, \yho are ever alive to national interest and honor, and coldly approved by the government. \ The following short extract will exhibit the spirit which pervaded this memorable paper. I “ But the subject assumes another aspect, when they (the American people) arc told by one of the parties that their vessels are to be forcibly entcre’d and examined, in order to carry into efleet these stipulations. Certainly the American, government does not believe that the high powers, contracting parties to this treaty, have any wish to compel the United States, by force, to adapt their measures jo its provisions, or to adopt its stipulations. Thesy ha\e too much confidence in their sense of justice to fear any such result; and they, will see with pleasure the prompt disavowal nfa.de by yourself, sir, in the name of your country, at the tribune df the Chamber of Deputies, of any intentions of thjs nature. But were it otherwise, and were it possi ble they might be deceived in this confident expec tation. that would not alter in one tittle iheir course of action. Their duty would be the same, and thb same would be their determination to fulfil it.—|- They would prepare themselves, with apprehension indeed, but without dismay—with) regret, but with firmness—for one of the desperate struggles which have sometimes occurred in the history of thje world, but where a just cause and the favor qf Providence have given strength to comparative weakness, and enabled it to break down the pride of power.’’ Defeats the Quintuple Treaty. The success of this scheme, so long cherished, and so long projected'on the part of F.rigland, turn ed upon the ratification of France. With it slje could hope to establish this new principle in mari time law, and with that attain her darling object of maritime supremacy. But the opposition of tA\{o such commercial nations as the United States and Fiance to this interpolation would have rendered hopeless its general recognition. Hence herefiorjts to accomplish this measure, and as, for more thin half a century, she had not failed in any great object ! of her policy, her pride and interest were equally i united in this. Her journals,'therefore, were filled with the subject. It occupied the attention of her government, her people, arid her press: and h^r dip lomatic agents through Europe were active and persevering. While the subject was under discus sion in the Fiench Chamber of the eyes i ing the result. The result was soon manifested, j The public opinion of France spoke too loudlyito j The government gave way, and refused j. to ratify a treaty, negotiated under its own direc j tions. and signed by its own minister. The part ! which General Cass bore in this transaction is well ! understood and appreciated by his countrymdn; I and. if any doubt existed on the subject, it wSukl 1 have been removed by the abuse heaped upon him in the English, journals, and by the declaration) ol j Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons, that ] his efforts contributed in a great degree to thejre -1 jection of the measure. Opinions of the Press. Au American writing from Europe, in Niles's Register, March, 18-12. says: «• Gen. Cass has hastily prepared a pamphlet Set ting forth the true import and dangers of this treaty. It will be read by every statesman in Europe; and, added to the General's personaj influence here, will effectually turn the tables on England. .The coun try owes the General much for his effectual influ ence with this government.’’ The London Times, of January 3, 18-12, says: ‘•The five powers, which signed the late treaty lor the suppression of the slave trade, will not allow | themselves to be thwarted in the execution of .this j arrangement by the capricious resistance of the l cabinet of Washington." ' •; It is not a little curious, in reading overth? papers relating to this transaction, to see how some of the journals of the day in the United States censured the minister for his interference in foreign concerns ; and foretold, very confidently, that he would be re j buked by the French government. And the Lon j don Times, of May 10, 1542, states, with apparent i exultation, that the venerable patriot, who has just I been called trom among us, (Mr.. Adams,) said in Congress that he regretted Gen. Cass “ bhould have so completely forgotten the whole- some rules of the founders of his country as to in terfere, without instructions from his government, in a delicate negotiation between the great powers of Europe." This ‘ delicate negotiation" directly involved one of the most precious rights of the United States— that of sailing the ocean undisturbed and in peace. To prevent the consummation of such a projects was not to interfere with other nations, but to pre vent other nations from interfering with us. As to the French government, it took no such view of the matter. The answer of M. Guizot to General Cass was in a very good spirit, and exhibited the best feeling to the United States. He stated that the treaty had not been ratified, and disavowed all designs of doing anything whatever- unfriendly to the United States. Resigns the French Mission—in const* quence of the Ashburton Treaty. On the 17th of September following thisstrans action, the news of the ratification of the Ashburton treaty reached Paris, and Governor Cass immedi ately resigned. His reasons for so doing we gather irom the fallowing extracts of letters to Mr. Web ster: u It is unnecessary to push these considerations further \ and in carrying them thus far, I have found the task an unpleasant one. Nothing but justice to myself could have induced me to do it. I could mot clearly my position here, without re capitulation. -My protest of 13th February, dis tinctly asserted that the United States would resist the pretension of England to search our vessels. I avowed, at the same time, that this was But my personal declaration, liable to he confirmed or dis avowed by my government. I now find- a treaty has been concluded between Great Britain and the United States, which provides for the co-operation of the latter in efforts to abolish the slave trade, but which contains no renunciation by the former of the extraordinary pretension, resulting, as she said, from the exigencies of these very efforts; and which pretension I felt it to be my duty to denounce to the French government. In all this, I presume to offer no further judgment than as I am person ally affected by the-course of the proceedings, ind I feel they have placed me in a false position, whence I can escape but by returning home with the least possible delay. I trust, therefore, that the President will have felt no hesitation in granting me the permission which I asked for.” Returns to the United States. In December, 1842, General Cass returned to the United States. He was received by the citizensof Boston and New York, with every demonstration of respect. His hold stand on the quintuple treaty had excited the feelings of the people in his favor, and he was everywhere hailed as the champion of the NO. If.
