TO THE EDITOR OP TI1E NfiW YORK IIKKALI).
Sik?Bishop Hughes having gi7tn to the ques
tion of religions tolejance, mooted by General Cass
in tbe Senate, the form, if not the consistency, of a
controversy, I would respectfully ask your indul
gence in a few remarks.
Bit-hop Hughes represents General Case as hav
ing pondered a year on liia (the Prelate's) flrst let
ter, and hinuelf as having been taken unawares by
the General. The Prelate's last letter, therefore, is
given to the public in the nature of an impromptu
reply to a carefully prepared attack on him on tbe
part of tbe Senator. Allow me, through your widely
circulated journal, to dhpel that illusion.
You and the public know the domestic afflictions
with which General Cass has been visited during
the past year. Not only did he lo?e the cherished
paitr.er oi hit* life e&dy in the spring of 1853, but a
favorite grandchild aud his son-in-law, Captain
Cunfield, since the opening of the present Congress.
Notwithstanding tLe&e melancholy bereavements,
General Cass, on the 23d of February last, gave no
tice in the Senate of his intention "to ask the in
terposition of this government with foreign powers,
where such interposition is required, in order to se
cure to American citi *ens abroad the enjoyment of
religious worship while living, and a place of
sepulture and the rights of Christian burial w'len
dead."?(Vide Ccv^rnsional Gtobe of February 24,
1854.) it 1s hardly to be supposed that so
valiant a captain of the church militant aa
Bishop Hughes, always with his harness on,
and ready for battl*, overlooked that notice; nei
ther is it likely that, taking his stand upon his dog
ma, ho should not, us from a strong fortress, have
waited for the unsuspecting General, who, in tbe
simplicity of his heart, and the consciousness of 4he
re<aitude of his intentions, kept the open Held of
reason au<l philosophy. The idea of surprise, tLare
foie, after so solemn a warning, in such an attitude,
ia altogether pi> potterous.
Bishop HuyV.-i fu**uPT complains that General
Cass misquoted the caption i<f his letter. Grneral
Cass quoted frcm the N. Times of February in,
lb53, viheie the Prelate's le'-ter to the Free???'?>?
Journal is introduced as follows:?

The Prelate's letter commences thus:?" The
heading of this communication suggests tho matter
which it propo-iss to discuss. The case of the Mv
diai, as reported in the newspapers?" Ac.
In what respe t, then, has General Cass mis
quoted ? Bishop Hughes' letter in reply to General
Cnsa' last speech on rel'gions tolerance, in the Sen
ate, could have been written in reply to ? an philo
sophical discussion of religious liberty as well as to
the Senator's. It does not join Issue with General
Cass'reasoning in a single point, hut hurls the ar
tillery of the church, in various disguises, against the
immovablo columns of human re isos. If General
Cass' speech, in the opiuion of the Prelate, is a
" mountain of words," sure'y the Prelate's reply,
viewed from the stand-point of philosophy, is a mere
" molehill of ideas." Phjlo Veritas.

An Ingenious Mbthod to Escape Pvvt8h:
ment.?A feW months since a man who claims to be
a Methodist preacher, and who lives in or near
Lebanon, Illinois, married a respectable widow
lady, who had a daughter gome fourteen or fifteen
years of age. The fconndrel, after marrying the
mother, actually prostituted the daughter; and the
matter becoming known, so great was the indigna
tion felt, that the citizens of Lebanon determined to
inflict summary chastisement npon him. They ac
cordingly met, and. after talking the matter over,
determined to Inflict a coat of tar and leathers upon
bim, beside- treating him to a ride on a rail, and
other corporeal punishments we)! kaown in the code
of Judge Lynch. They at once proceeded to his
house; hut the fellow bad firmly barricaded himself;
and just as they were about to force the blockade,
he offered to capitulate on certain conditions. Tho
j terms proposed by him were that he would let them
I in, and snbmit to being tarred nnd feathered, pro
! vided they would dispense with the other punish
I ment proposed. This was finally agreed to, and the
impatient mob let in, when, to their astonishment,
| they found their victim ready for the sacrifice, with
i nothing on him but a pair of socks, while his nude
state Helmed particularly adapted to the ecocntrio
oostnire wbicn they proposed to fit him ont with.
The tur and feathers were at hand, and men will
ingly pitched in to pive him his new suit. The
bru-ht.i end mops weiu dipped into the tar bucket,
and speedily applied to his naked form, while the
victim stood it like a martyr. What was their sur
prise, however, to find that tho subatanco wouldn't
stirk. and slid oiT hi* nerbon as foot as it was ap
plied. It was in vain tlioy work?d, fnr the tar
wouldn't tnkt> hold. U'ton questioning him sharply
and exwniidng him d<m;ly, tuey found that the
reverend ueMleman had actually grea.sed himself nil
over, in anticipation of the course that would be
pursued towards bim. H's ingenuity, however,
wouldn't save him,and vengeance finally triumphed.
Some genius in the crowd suggested a method
which was immediately adopted. It wus nothing
more or lean than to sprinkle him with ashes and a
little dirt and sand. The plan succeeded?the
priming stuck, the tar and feathers were applied,
and adhered, after Which th <y trotted him arouua
on a rail. These proceedings took place on last
Saturday night; and from other circumstances of a
revolting nuturc coupled with the wretch's conduct,
we think be richly merited all be got, and has reason
to rongratrlate himself that he was not hnn/ up
by the neck or heels.?St. Is mi* Republican, June
Accipknt and De^th.?Yesterday a young man,
an Englishman, named Walbon, was instantly killel
on the Pontine Railroad. He was in the employ of
Mr. Bmnnel French, of our city, and had been be
yond Birmingham to get a load of stone foT paving
purposes. While coming down the grade, this side
of Birmingham, one of tne wheels or" a car in the
train broke, and uncoupled the caron which Walbon
was sittinr fr^m the rest behind it. He was thro?rn
off, and fell with his nock resting on the rail, aod
the rear cars coming up almostTmtantly, ran over
bim, ce mpletely Hcverini: the head from the body,
'lhe trunk was then twisted around npon the trnrk
and mangled in a horrible manner. The weight of
the car and load whi-h passed over liim conld not
have N en much less than teu tons. The conductor
was only preserved from a similar fate by jumping
from the train with almost snperhuman celerity and
effort. We believe that Walbon had no friends in
this city.?Detroit Tribune, June 20.
Temperance Meeting- In flu leTwU Ward.
A meeting of residents of the Seventh ward w.?
held Utst t venlng, at 08 Es t Broftilwuy, to express
their appro va of these member* of t e I'ixo e
Board who, in the word* of the ca 1, '' hare .-?* a d
to grant licenses contrary to law," * d i? a opt
measures for the suppieesion of Hog*) to a selling
in the ward.
The audience :n attendance wan very 'I* Mr.
T. Hood wafl chosen chairman of th.i mostta^* and
Messrs. ROwell and Aikman, Vice President* Mr.
Cooke was appointed Secretary.
The Chairman briefly explained the object* of .the
meeting. He alluded particularly to the Trar.te
pursued by Counoiluian Turtle n re using to M -
low the example which somo h id sec in granst?%
licenses without discrim nation, ami thought he?
deserved the thanks of the community. Ho cm
tuied Councilman Seele. in severe tortns for hi*
conduct in this matter. H? had been present when
those licenses had been indoor minutely given ont
to every one who ; aked for them, aud n id never
seoa a more miserable and degraded wt 01 iuJiv ?
duals. Ought the temperance and order iovi Y,
t'lusees of the community to aubmit to such a state
of things any longer? He, most decidedly, thought
aot. Would they ait oo.vn supinely and see taeir
neighbors, and friends, and ciiiidrea, made drunk
aros, und thieves, and murdttorn, and in ike uo ef
fort to prevent it? The feeling in opposition t < this
was nidening all over the city. In n one wjrJ* he
was glud to say no license had beon grant* 1. A |
feeling had gone abroad tluoughout the city thai
no one had uny rights but the ruoMollers, and lit it
tley have the riyht to tramplo upon the present in
fluent en of society?that the temperate ? laj'-? ? ??
had un ripht to quiet Sabbaths or peace ib'e neigh
b> rhm ds. Were our laws to b<* administered only
for the bene fit of the rum oilers ? Ila tWigh'. that,
if this meeting wero to adjourn over to some con
venient time, when it could be more folly made
known, a larger attendance would hi- the conse
quence.
Captain Tiiacy, of the Bailors' Home, said it had
been the result of his experience, that people were
much wore fond of going to popular as-emolages,
and listening to aantsing and flowery discourses,
than to go into practical business or serious work;
but he hoped that the temperance folks would go
into the work that lay before them with their
sleeves rolled up, and that great results would
follow. Councilman John Q. Seeloy wan again
hauled over the coals the speaker. He (the
Captain) had been pre.-ent at the time that Mr.
Seelcy granted the licenses so indiscriminately, and
had expostulated with that gentleman. He was,
however, told, not very politely, to mind his own
business; upon which he informed the Councilman
that it was his business, and that, inasmuch as he
stood in the position of father, so to speak, of
some thousands of sailors, he was Homewhat inter
ei-ted iti the matter. The speaker proceeded to dis
cuss the merits of a prohibitory law, whieh he was
of opinion we were likely to have next year.
The following rea lution was then read:?
Resolved, That AWerman Woo'lmtd and Councilman
Tuttle, in refusing to prirtit licence, In the.-'aventli ward,
lie entitled to the thanks of this ci .utnuaity
Mr. Peck offered, as an amendment, to strike out
the name of Alderman Woodward from the resolu
tion. This trivial question gave rise to a long de
bate, and the resolution was finally passed. by
striking out the words " refusing to grant," and
substituting the word " withholding'' in it* plaoe.
Mr. Cakson then made a few remarks, after which
the following resolution was passed-:?
Resolved, That we co operate with th? Carson League
Committee, for the suppression of itlpgftl rum uoUing in
this ward.
The meeting soon after adjourned.

Sir:?Your letter him not boen answered before this
In conxequenco of my absence from home, and of numer
ous irescing engagements whi-h have prevented me
from givioK the questions you ask, tl-fi consideration
their importance demands
After alluding to the evil* of intemperance, vou ask.
"if in myor'nion tlie people tiavt a right, to protect
themselves frcin an Ircr-ase and pt-.i?ttiauon of those
evil* by a Itgal suppression of the Ivuown causes of in
temperance and if 1 am elected Governor, 1 will give my
influence in favor of a la? that shall entirely prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors to be used as a beorage,
ami if such a bill shall be passed by the Legislature, will
affix to it my signature, so that it may become the law
of the Statw" I also see that another object, of vour al
liance is the preventing of bribery and all illegal money
contributions by candidates at eloctions.
Ttiv euppret-ftion of 'he evils of intemperance, and the
pretention of all praotlcos calculated to impair the
purity of our elections, are objects which command
themselves to the approval of all good citizens, although
conflicting opinions are entertained with respect to
the proper and best measures for effecting desired re
forms. These subjects will, without donbt, engsge the
attention of the next Legislature, as they are regarded
with great Interest by large classes of oar citizens. What
rsn^e the disoussion of them will tike, or what forms
n,ay be given to any propositions with respec-t to them,
It is Impossible to foresee. It will be the duty of the
members of the Legislature and of the Governor to act
upon < hem with earnest and sincere purposes, to promote
the welfare of the pe< pie of the State. If I am elected
Governor of New York I shall enter upon the high
olU responsible duties of the station free to act upon
every question that may be submitted to me according
to my convictions of duty at the tims. The spirit of
the oMh of office will demand this, and no one can wi'h
propriety pari eith the right which each citizen claims
and exeicises, of correcting hie opinions, when about to
execute duties which demand conclusion* founded upon
tho-. ghtfnl ,>.nd deliberate examination. The excitements
of a political canvass, and considerations of pollticsl sup
port or opposition, are not favorable to such considerate
und conscientious action.
While I eonreee the importance and necessity of sup
pr.sslng the eviiaof intcmperan or bribery I shall. If
??l?r ed Govern* of the S'ate, set upon all laws relating
to th< m in the spirit and runner I have indicated, and
* hlch 1 feel is this only constitutional aud prop?r mods of

of mm in office from their ps?t lives snd action*. The

A lienor dealer In Cleveland, Ohio, was lined on
Friday fifty dollars, and costs of suit, ten dollars,
for persisting in selling liquor to a little girl to be
drtiLk by her mother. The trial developed, as may
be imagined, a painful scene of vroe and sadness.
A rran named Walker, residing at Bellows Falls,
Vt., leaving been fined a number of times for selling
liquors, has gone across the river into New Harap
Hhlre, and put up a .building on the bank of the
river, and there keepa his t-tock of fire-water. Uis
residence being In Vermont, is also near the banks
of the river, and he baa run a strong wire from one
building to the other across the river. A person
enters his bonse on the Vermont side, deposits his
oidcr and jug, which are placed in a basket and
pulled across the stream, the jar is filled, and tikes
its way back into Vermont to it-s origin ti proprie
tor, tints evading the Vermont Liquor law and its
lienalties.

anything about this let you- readers know that all
this is done very much against t tie fellings of all
renj Tnilu Islanders, as the address and resolutloaa
w,Il show. They are oil aware that but for the
CDited States they could not live, js no oUicr nation
would take their salt, and it is notorious also, that
scarcely a Turks -L-Uudcr is coneerncd in the sffblrt
tiny aie all a lot of fnliowa from Nassau, Tf. P., sent
up ten; at the time, or just before the separation of
this place from Naunau, to endeavor to make it a
failuie. . .
One of their principal means of annoyance is by
endeavoring to annoy aud throw every difficulty la
tiia way of all the American consuls that have been ?
here since,to wit: J. T. Pickett, B. E.flmtth, and
now Mi. Nelson; and. ,by the way, the vessel that
brings this brings you a Turks Islander bora
?naturalized in America, married to a daughter of
one of your judges, luid I believe practised at the
bar under hi? father-in law?and no doubt when he
finds you aie posted up on this matter, (as he will
be in New York,) he will call on you and endeavor
Ur> alte r yonr irapretuions; but all I have to say *?
the people is, beware of him. keep dark, aud jam
aiay pumo him as much as you please. He U one
oftne gang who persecuted John L. Nelson; [the
brig that brinps him.is called the Gleaner,] and alao
that Mr. Pickett might know of bis arrival, as he
wishes to have a special meeting with him. ?
It is tbe wish of tbe people here that the govern
ment would send \ vessel with proper authorities te
investigate the matter, as it stands. Mr. Nelson haa
applied for all t'ae proceedings; they were copied
and sent to the Jadgre, but he struck out a lot of it,
tbe most important part; consequently the Pro
thonotary baa refused to certify to their being a oor
rect copy, and Mr. Nelson will not receive them with
out that; so, its they have things their own way, it
will be impossible ever to lay the matter clearly be
fore his government without officers being sent hero
to see for tt>em?elves. Americans, since the im
prisonment o^tfceir Consul, have been subjected to
all sorts of ineerfvenlencei, and God knows where It
will end; and I bellove 1 echo the sentiments of nine*
tenths of th? population when 1 sav, if nothing elae
can be done, send a company of "filibusters;" they
will be heartily received, aad the parties who have
taken st;cl? an active part in this affair pointed out.
You may think this rtrange, coming from an E ig
lishm Jit. I nm one, heart and soul, and proud of it;
but that, is one of tbe reasons I like to see justice
and tbe rights of a citizen of a country that we aro
on tbe best of terms with, protected. Yon cannot
treat tie subject too severely, aor agitate it toe
much; it is one of the greatest pieces of villany
ever perpetrated, all to gratify personal revenge.
Mr. Nelson admits that he did- commit a breach of
the peace, was taken to the police office, and
paid $10 for It. As w)on as this party found
they had something to take hold of, they
get the Queen's Advocate, a sneaking ftellow,
to later an action againtt Mr. Nelson, and after do-'
ing so, never allowed it to go before a jury, became
thev knew any jury must acquit him, as m had al
ready paid for the same offence In the police cogrt.
The breach of the pease alleged was for an assault
oa one Gcstavue Lightbourn. The next morning he
wjote an apology, afterwards went himself and apo
logized in person, both or which apologies were re
ceived; and, after all. merely to carry oat the pri
vate pique of a partv agaim-t Mr. Nelson, he allowed
the suit to be brought on, after everything had beee
done that could possibly be done by one gentleman
to another. . , 4.

infamy, villany, and rascality displayed on thai
day by the officers administering the law. Knowing,
as he did, bow Mr. Hmith had been periecuted, and
that, too, for the sake of assisting oae of his own
countrymen, it was impossible that a man of Mr.
Nelson.' spirit could have done otherwise. Never
before were English laws perverted to this exteet;
for tbe ju ige. after putting the letior in the hande
of the Queen's Advocate, which is as good as telUnff
