This is considered n great defeat to Senator Cass and bis war party, and we are glad to find the American people so litlle inclined to support thcir bclligerent courso. Tliirly years ngo the result would have beon difll-rent. Gen.Uass is a fuartcr of a century bchind the times, and bis course on tlu's (juestion, wliilo it may nercase Jiis populnrilv in t!io Wesl, will lose him frieuds through the country generally. Tho Buflalo Pilot says of the rcsult : ''AUhougli it s lofl diöcrelionary with the President tn give or vvithholu the Notico, yct from lus heretofore expressed views and opiniona upon the subject, lliere eau be do doubt as lo the course he will pursue. It seems now to bo conct-ficil ilmt negotiations will be reopened, and the bouivJary establishod on ihe 19th parallel. Shouíd ibis be done, it will créate iriuch dissatisfaction in tho Wexl, and will have been hrought aboul by the hesitating and seeniingly timorous action ot the Senate in avowing and maintaining our rigbts."ftTlití Board of Supervisors of Üurrv cotinty stunds, Democratie f, W'hig 5, Liberty, I.
