GEN. CAss AND KossTuH.-The Wing
several weeks ago attempted to torture the
vote Of Gen. CAss against paying the ex-
penses of Kossuth and suite, while at
Washington, out of the Contingent fund
of the Senate, into opposition to Kossuth
in order to win southern favor. That paper
has reiterated this charge in one form or an
other several times since. To show how
much truth there is in it, We quote the fol-
lowing paragraph from the speech of Gen. !.
Cass in reply to shaDgman" Jones Of Tenn
essee:
am not at all satisfied with the view
which the honorable Senator took in rcla tion
to the votes on the resolution for defraying
Kossuth's expenses here. If he meant any
thing by that allusion, he meant to convey
to the American people the idea that those
Of US who voted against that resolution
were un willing TO defray the expenses occa.
stoned by Kossuth's visit. ii he meant
anything, he meant that. Tbs honorable
gentleman knew that we were not opposed to
the payment. He knew that IN another
shap pc we had declared we should have vot-
ed for it. Our votes turned on an entirely
different point, and that was the power Of
The Senate, to make such payment out Of
the contingent fund, without its passing
through the usual process and forms Of leg
isIation, and receiving the concurrence Of
the House. He might as well say that if
a man had claim for hundred thousand
dollars, and should vote against paying il
out Of the contingent fund, Ishoufd therefore
be opposed to the claim. II was the pro-
cess by which the money was to be obtain
ed, to which / objected. I believed it to be
wrong. did not oppose the payment il.
self, and said would vote for it if the
proposition were put, as il should have been
in the form Of an act of Congress.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE meets October Srd.
Mr., Vaughan in New Lisbon and Salem.

On Saturday last, our Free Soil friends held
a county nominating convention in New Lisbon
We were present, and can assure our readers
that it was not a mere political partisan assem-
blagc, but a thorough anti.slavery meeting,
where truths broad as the principles Of univer-
sal freedom, and genial as the kindliest impul-
ses Of humanity were clearly and forcibly Tre-
scntcd. The audience was good for Now Lis
bon, which is understood to have nall sympa-
thy for any department of the anti-slavery
enterprise. Several persons said to us that it
was as large as the attentive and listening part
of the audience. Of the Democratic gathering
tho week before who were there TO listen to
Ex Senator Allen, and Governor Woods. At
the anti-slavc.y meeting there were none but
attentive listeners. Mr.. J. C. Vaughan of Ccvc-
land was tho principal speaker, though remarks
were added by Mcssrs. Smith and Hcaton.
After the close of the Now Lisbon meeting,
Mr.. Vaughan returned to Salem, where he spoke
on Saturday evening and also twice on Sunday
Ills discourses all had one direct and most
desirable tendency; viz : the destruction of par
ty leadership, and the substitution therefor of
the principles of justice, as developed by the
individuality of each member of community
On Saturday night he directed his remarks
more especially to the political aspect of the
cause. But here as in the subsequent meetings.
he dealt in principles and facts. Just such as
the occasion demands, presenting them clearly,
dispossionatcly, but most nprcssivcly. He
Jooit ,,.;tb tho clop,on principlog of our
movement. He exhibited briefly the history
Of the aggrcssions of slavery especially in the
Judicial department of the government, state
and national, und gave his audiences a clear in
sight into the workings of the system in the
slave states especially upon the -savchold-
ing whites. lie dealt in a class of facts derived
principally from his own observation and which
were new to many Of his auditors, but which
did not fail to create and deepen an intelligent
adherence of the system.
On Sunday afternoon he introduced his re-
marks by reading from one of the Old Testa-
ment prophets, deriving thence the thought
that all the moral workers in reform were CO.
,corkerS, and that the whole human family, hav-
ing common interests, and none but fratcrnal
relations, should be eo.opeyatieeS. This thought
he kept beautifully and imprcssivcly prominent
through the whole discourse. Mr.. Vaughan
speaks with an object, and with the audiences
to which We have referred, he gained it. He
has done the anti-slavcry cause good service
in his visits to New Lisbon and Salem, and We
shall be glad to have them often repeated.

TRoURLE IN lLLINoIs.-Considerabl excite.
mcnt has been caused III Carlisle, ILL.,, between
some citizens and party oi free culored men.
II grew out of tight between colored boy
and son OF ex-senator Brcosc. Tho father OF
the former took Breese's son and gave him II
beating. This caused tho excitement to be-
come general. The ST. Louis Ne,es says:
'The citizens then took the negroes who had
first offended, tied them up and whipped chem.
Three other negroes, who had somehow signal.
lzcd themselves III the difficulty, were served IN
like manner. Some OF the citizens, in the
course OF the excitement loaded a cannon
with several pounds OF buckshot, and fired It
ut negro house. There were only two occu-
pants III 1t ut .he time, one OF whom received a
slight injury. The negroes were ordered To
leave the place in three days, aud threatened
with similar treatment if they failed to comply.
When our informant Lett, the excitement had
suosided, but 1t is possible it was renewed ut
the end OF the three days truce which had
been granted the negroes.

Thomas II. Benton.

How IT WAS DONE. The recent election of
Thomas IL. Benton is one of the most remark
able triumphs of these latter days, 1t was a
triumph of manliness over party prejudice, eau
cuscs, platforms and fnalities. How it was
done, he tells us in tho annexed paragraph.
"No low arts of electioneering-no begging
for votcs-no appeal to old scrvice-no bowing
and scraping-no whining and blubbering-no
conicssing and begging pardon, and promising
not 10 do so ngain-no crnging to foes
But right ahead, hitting right and lcf:-knoek-
ing orer compromises, piaYor'us eG"ea'ses eoarsn-
noas, regular nominations, tgitieo siare iaio ana
al and despising everything that jugglers
contrive for the terror of timid politicians
armed with truth and courage alone self-sup-
ported and relying on the people; answering
no questions and telling no lies that is the
way it was done.
