The evening wns devoted to music, voea! and mitrumenfcil, litilo tripping it on the light fantastic toe," and a great (lea! of private- eiit'lc ili-cussion of politics. By way of episode we had a very interesting discussion tx 1 twrcn Mr. Codding and our Secretary, Mr Hotchkin a slaveholder from Mississippi, induced by his usking Mr.

C. if he would justify an attempt which was made last year to stral one of his slaves while coming np the Illinois river. Mr. C. replied by inquiring first whether the object was to liberate him, when Mr.

M. detailed the i'ucts that one of the hands on the boat came to his slave in the night and tried lo persuade him to assert his manhood by leaving bis ninster imd taking his liberty into his own keeping. The slave replied by preferring shivery to the condition of free negroes in Illinois. Mr. II.

overheard the conversation, the next morning complained to the Captain, who was servile cnoujih to run ashore and land the free mun, --colored-- who had tried to pcrsunde llie sluvc, now legally Iree hnving been taken by his master into a free Sliite to accept of liberty 10 miles 1 from any nettlcmeiit. In the next place, Mr. C. inquired his right to his uluve. He had lought him and paid for him." Mr.

C. denied his right to hold or own any human being as a slave, and gave tho unanswerable, argument in favor of the inheiTcnt rights of all to the close Mr. H. became quite excited, but afterward apologized for his im- courteous remarks. A well-bred slaveholder is generally more reasonable tlmn Northern doughface.

On tho whole, slavery roce-ved considerable damage, and the cause of freedom was promoted by this discussion. Thursday Morning. Meeting culled to order by the President. Minutes of the last session read. A disposition to prevent discussion was manifested, and a very warm Taylor man, Mr.
