sist in their determination, we may short

and. Gen. "Cass on Scott.
The following is an extract from Gen.
Cass' reported speech at New York this
week:
"I desire to repeat here what I have
said elsewhere; that if. in this vast assem-
..a.
bly, there is one man who came here ex
pecting me to abuse either party or can
did ate, he is sure to go away disappoin
ted. We have honorable contests enoucrh
with the Whig party, withoutgesorting to
abuse. If three score years and ten, which
j. nave almost attained, brings with it
many evils, it brings with it, also, a right
to give my opinion, and I will give it.
And that is, that I trust no Democrat, dur
ing the whole of this campaign, will resort
to this unworthy mode ot warfare. We
are all brethern of the same great family
and the Whigs are just as much interes
ted in the prosperity of the country as you
are. We are both on board of the same
ship, and must sink or swim together.
The Whigs have their own articles of po
litical faith, and so have we. They be
lieve they are right, and we believe they
are wrong. But allow me to say, my friends,
that there is a terrible propensity to polit
ical abuse, in tHe warm campaigns of this
country; and a spetator of the old world,
on looking around at the contending par
ties, and reading the party journals, would
actually think that no man is fit to be a
candidate for the Presidency- unless he

Savage Warfare
The British have two wars upon thijir
hands at this time. One is Caffraria, in
, which the English have thus, far, at an
immense cost, achieved nothing. The
other is in Burmah, which is likely to cost
more lives thau any other struggle in
whicn Victoria's subjects have been en
gaged for many years. The contest is
marked with sanguinary ferocity on the
part of the native troops, which could on
ly be induced by revengeful feelings, ren

and James Brass had a hearing before

ly. Two true bills have, been found a

the Court proceedings in another column,
and his bail was fixed by the Court to
$7000. As neither he, nor his sou, whose
bail was fixed at 5000, have as -et been

The Eastern route proposes to reach
the vicinity of the Springhouse by the
! same ground as the middle route, and
then follow the route surveyed for the
Norristown and New Bope aoad to the
! Neshaminy crossing that stream, pro-
cecd to the North Branch valley, and up
that stream to the Hartyakin orcek, and
so on north by the way of Loux's Corner
west of Plumstcadville, and reach the To

The President of the Company, Mr.
Waterman, the Engineer, and several
other gentlemen who take an interest in
the matter, last week reconnoitred the lat
ter two routes, preparatory to a minute
survey. From what we learn of their dis
coveries, we presume it is not at all prob
able that we shall have the-road laid in
the immediate vicinity of Doylestown, hut
it will probably come within a few miles
r j -
f us 50 as to be reached by a short
branch. Its location will be controlled
entirely by the monied interests of Phil-
aueipeia, wincu iurnisn the capital; and
their object is to reach the Lehigh by the
shortest and best route, avoiding as far
as practicable any near approach to the
Delaware river. The engineers will pro
ceed immediately to survey all the routes
that are worth surveying and any infor
mation that citizens along the routes can
give them as to favorable ground should
be freely imparted. The work is so high
ly important to interests not only at the
ends of the route, but every where'through
out its whole length, that it should be com
pletecf at as early a dti' as possible, and
in the best manner practicable.
Political Incredulity. Gen. Jackson
said to a candidate for office, ' They will
probably charge you with-stealing, but
never mind that. .
After that election the same man wait
ed upon old Hickory again. 'Well said
he, 'did they not charge you with-stealing?'
' Yes, General, aiid they proved it too;
but the Democracy in my district don't
believe in the Whig evidence, and. I was
elected in spite of it." .
