The Newburyport Herald says:
"Gen Cass was Governor of Michigan Ter
ritory from 1913 to 1872 his salary during this
time, as Governor, was liberal, and he had an ex-
ira salary as Indian agent, at the same time, of
$500 year, also ten ratons a day, committed
at 20 cents each, equal to $3.50 year more, ma
king an extra allowance of S2230 year. for
duties incidental to the office of Governor of the
Territory.
In 1881, he received SlO,55O more as extra
compensation, and on the 18th of Nov, 1889,
S3S75 additional pay. He received as ertra

1913 TO 1881, S60,4l2 90 the particulars Of

26th Congress"
We were told by members of Congress, when
in Washington, that some of this extra allow
ance refused when first applied for, but
when he became Secretary of War, he allowed
his own accounts, and thus pocketed the cash.

JouN P. HALE-The National Anti. Slavery
Standard says
Mr. Hale, we hear from very good authority,
will, without doubt, withdraw in favor of the
Barnburners' nomination. We shall not believe
him the man of good sense that we take him to
be, if he does not.
Don't believe aword of it.
An ENTIRE WING, ALL BUT.-A fiery .nosed
individual, who stood six feet four in his stock
ings, declared to Hunker that he was every
inch Wing. "All but your nose" said the
latter And why not my nose" "Because,
If that were to get in among lot of hay, it
might prove to be Barnburner."
"Ihe Turkey for me and The Buzz1rd for you"
Millions of our money have been spent to pro-
cure slave territory for the South, and thousands
of Northern men have sacrificed their lives in
defending it, That is all right But to extend
the least aid to Oregon when she will not allow
Slavery within her borders, is all wrong.
"'r wouldn't suit them Southern feliers,
They're dreadful graspin' set;
We must oilers blow the bellows
When they want their irons het."
