Gen. Lewis Cass, the eldest son of Major 

 Jonathan Cass, was born at Exeter, New 

 Hampshire, October 9, 1782, and received a 

 classical education at the celebrated academy 

 in that town. At an early age he removed to 

 Delaware, and took charge of the academy of 

 "Wilmington. In 1799 he went to Marietta, 

 Ohio, where he studied law, and in 1802 he was 

 admitted to the bar and begin to practice in 

 Zanesville. In 1806 he was elected a member 

 of the Ohio legislature. On March 2, 1807, he 

 was appointed marshal of Ohio, which office he 

 held till 1813. In the war of 1812 he rose to the 

 rank of brigadier -general. On the 9th of Oc- 

 tober, 1813, President Madison appointed him 

 governor of the Territory of Michigan. He 

 acted as governor and ex-officio as superintend- 

 ent of Indian affairs for eighteen years. In 

 1820, in company with Schoolcraft and others, 

 te explored the upper lakes and the source of 

 the Mississippi, with double reference to the 

 character of the Indian population placed under 

 his charge, and to the resources and geograph- 

 ical features of that immense and unknown 

 region. In 1829 he was called to Washington, 

 with General Clark, of Missouri, to examine 

 the laws relating to Indian affairs, and prepare 

 a condensed code for the better government of 

 that growing and complicated department. 

 The report which he drew up on this occasion 

 exhibits his full experience on this subject. 

 In 1831 President Jackson called him to pre-

side over the Department of War. In 1834 the 

 entire Indian code was revised under his direc- 

 tion, on the basis of his prior report of 1829, 

 and the new code enacted by Congress. In 

 1836 President Jackson tendered him the posi- 

 tion of minister to France. This he accepted 

 with the express privilege of visiting the 

 East. In .January, 1845, he was elected United 

 States senator from Michigan, which place he 



• resigned on his nomination, May 22, 1848, as 

 Democratic candidate for the Presidency, He 

 was subsequently returned to the Senate, and 

 was made Secretary of State by President 

 Buchanan in 1857, which position he resigned 

 in December, 1860. He died in Detroit, Mich.
