DIsGRAcEFUL OUTRAGE.--On the night previ-
Gus to the election in st. Louis, on the 9Th inst,
some incorporate members of the Benton party
committed an outrage of quite disgracefu cha
racter The lntelligencer says, that to signalize
their triumph in the defeat of the Compromise,
they had caused to. be prepared a transparency,
representing Benton standing erect, with scroll
in one hand, with the words caught in the act, :"
while at his feet PROSTATE form, intended to
represent Henry Clay, with Benton's foot upon his
neck. This gross insult to the great statesman of
the West, caused the utmost indignation amoae
the spectators, as the painting was being carried
along the streets.
After il had reached the rotunda, and been placed
in its position, the indignation OF the crowd greatly
increased There were yells, shouts, Kisses, and
groans, and every indication of contemptuous in
dignalion 1t was found utterly impossible to pre-
coed with the business of the meeting. Several
speakers attempted to address the crowd; but all
to purpose. Finally to appease the excitement,
some one tore off so much of the painting as con-
tanned the figure OF Mr.. Clay but this was not
deemed sufficient apology--the noise and confu.
sion still continued, and the meeting finally broke
up in disorder
