have, therefore, been framed in strict aturdance with these
ltl-
At that date a hope was indulged that no necessity might
exist for employing the military in restoring and maintaining
the suthormi of the law, but this hope has now vanished.
Governor Young has by proclaim:oi= declared his determi-
nation to maintain his power by force, and has already com-
mitted acts of hostility against the United Stales. Unlees he
should retrace his steps, thateeritorpol Utah will be in a state
of open rebellion. He lua collimated these acts of open
hutdity, although Major Van yliet, en officer of the army,
sent to Utah by the commanding general to purchase pro-
viaions the troops, had given him the strongest 4.111211111,
of the peaceful intentions of the government, and that the
troops would only be employed u a pan retaliates& when
called on by the civil authority to aid in the execution of
the laws. There ia reason to behave Governor Young
his long contemplated thi, result. lio knows that the con-
tinuance of his despotic
.power depends upon the exclusion of
all settlers from the territory except those who will acknow-
ledge his divine mission, and implicitly obey his will, and
that an enlightened public opinion there would coon pros-
trate institutions at war with the laws both of God and man.
He has, therefore, for several year., in order to maintain hie
ndspendeuce, been industrioualy employed in collecting and
fabricating arms and munitions of war, and in disciplining
the Mormons for military service. As superintendent of Indian
affairs be has bad an opputunitLLT=g with the
Indian tribes, and exciting their against the
United States. This, according to our information, he has
accomplished in regard to some of those tithes, while °thins
have remained true to their sliegtanos, and have communi-
cated hie intrigue to our Indian estate. He has laid in •
store of provisions for three your, which, In case of necessity,
ea he informed Major Van "%lies, he will conceal, and then

A great pert of all this may be idle boasting, but yet
so wise government will lightly estimate the aorta
which may be inspired by such frenzied fanaticism as
exists among the Mormons, in Utah. This is the
first rebellion which has existed in our territories,
and humanity itself requires that we should pat it down in
such a manner that it shall be the Wt. To trifle with it
would be to encourage it end to render it formidable. We
ought to go there with such an harming force as to convince
these deluded people that radatanoe would be vain, and thus
spare the °Sedan of blood. We can in this manner best
convince them that we are their friends, not their enemies.
In eider to accomplish this object Arvin he necesury, accord-
ing to the estimate of the War Department, to raise four
additional and this I earnestly recommend to
Congreen. t the present moment of depression ia the
revenues of the country, I am sorry to be obliged to recom-
mend such mesaures ; but I feel confidant of the support of
Congress, cost what it may in suppressing the insurrection
and in restoring and maintaining the sovereignty of the
constitution and laws In the territory of Utah.

The President recommends the formation of a ter-
ritorial government for Arizona. the district re-
=Hy purchased from Mexico, and pleads the duty
and full power of Congress to construct a military
railroad through the federal territory to the Pacific.
The tariff of 1857 has been in operation for so
short a period, and under circumstances so unfa-
vourable to a just development of its results as a re-
venue measure, that he should regard it sa inexpe-
dient at least for the present to undertake its re-
union. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
estimates (observes the President) the imports
'of foreign dutiable merchandise for the cur-
rent fiscal year at 282,000,000 dollars, and
the exports of all descriptions at only 10 per
cent. less than for the corresponding date of last
year; the exports we think will be found rated at
too high a figure. lie recommends that authority
be given to the treasury department to issue trea-
sury notes for an amount not exceeding twenty mil-
lions, payable within a limited time at a specified
rate of interest, this authority to be exercised only
in case of need. The public debt is 25,185,164 dole.
31c., having been reduced 3,896,232 dole. 39c. since
the let of July of this year. The President refers
to voluminous statistical reports from the various
departments which accompany his Message, and
concludes by declaring. his purpose to be very eco-
nomical in the administration of government, and
b• requesting Congress at the close of the session to
give him two days at least for the examination of
bills sent for his approval.
The late disastrous monetary revolution may have one
good effect, should it came both the government mid the
people to return to the practicer of a trim and judi-
cious economy both in public and private expen-
ditures. An overflowing treasury has led to habits
of prodigality and extravagance in our legislation;
it has induced Congress to make large appropria-
tions to objects for which they never would have pro-
vided had it been necessary to raw the amount of revenue
required to meet there by tomemmed taxation or by loons. We
ore now compelled to pause in our steer, and to scrutinise
our expmditures with the utmost vigilance, and in perform-
ing thin duty I pledge my co-operation to the extent of my
constitutional competency. It ought to be observed at the
same time that true puhbc economy does not consist in with-
haling the means mammy to accomplish important national
objects entrusted to it. by the constitution, and especially
such as may be necessary foe the common defence. In the
present crisis of the country It is our duty to confine our
appn.priationa to objects of this character unkes in cares
where justice to individuak may demand a different course.
In .11 mats care ought to be taken that the money granted
by Congress shall be rightfully sad sionocainally applied.

In the Senate debate began upon the Kansas
question by Mr. Douglas giving his concurrence to
all the President said, except his approval of the
Kansas Constitutional Convention, which he took
exception to. Other Democrats sided with Mr.
Douglas, so that the administration party is evi-
dently divided.
The object of Sir W. (3ore Ouseley's mission bad
been formally communicated to General Cass. It is
said that Ouseley would remain in Washington
until further advice. in regard to Walker's move-
ments and the disposition of the recently negotiated
treaty between the United States and Nicaragua.
The Mormons were giving more trouble to the
Utah military expedition. During a skirmish with
troops some Mormons were taken prisoners.
The fugitive slave case at Indianopolis had been
decided by the judge sending him back to his mast's.
This caused very great excitement, but there was no
attempt at rescue.
The long-pending slave case between the states of
New York and Virginia has been decided by the
supreme court of the former state declaring the slaves
in question entitled to their freedom.
All freight trains on the Ohio Central Railroad
were seised by the united employts. The matter

DEATH OF MR. JAMBS COPPOCK.

We regret toannounce the death of Mr. James Cop`
posh, of Clece!and-row, St. Jannis. Mr. Coppock res.& weak
Kean the apparent enj.yment of bis usual strong and rigtrous
health. On Tuesday be retnreed home to his reeidenoe
slightly indispoeed. This Inaispositioa rapidly increased,
and, baffling all the skill of Sir Henry Holland and bie ordi-
nary medical ett,niant, curled Mr. Coppock off on Saturday
teeming, in tLe ..17th year of his age.

Heath clews all scores. Our unreel relation to Mr. Cop-
pork, while in lib, was that of antagonism to his electioneer-
ing devices. But in speaking of the deed allowance must
be made for the influence of circumstance'. He was a re-
markable man. Self-taught and reliant, energetic, intelligent
end fearless, he carved out for himself his own position in
lib. •To his p•flitioel friends and party he wee a in-et de-
voted and faithful adherent and agent; he wee flee from the
slightest taint of vindictiveness or ill-will to his opponents;
perfectly reliable in all his professional engagements and un-
dertakings; frank, hearty, and kind in his habits; end, to
spite of an off-hand and unrefined manner, in ell personal
Whiter/I exceedingly sensitive. His political opinions were
of an advanced kind, and no man more earnestly desired the
removal of all defects, as wall se the extension of our elec-
toral system, the bad feature' of which hs understood to
thoroughly.
Mr. Coppock had ashfeved a oonxiderelelC'position and
practice In his pthfsesion of solicitor, Idea hie services were
aught tor ths libsed party, and it was probably at no little
secrillos of beam as well as confect, that he devoted him-
self more particularly to electioneering banner ; for in its
oonduct no one, however wealthy, had ever to complain of
his charges, and many a candidate and member not blamed
with riches had to repay him more in thanks than in money
fore zeal which the prospect of want of remuneration never
diminished, end for Isborione exertions which rose with the
necessities of the case. _ _

Great mm and small placed unreserved confidence in ldr.
Coppock ; end not only was their confidence never abused,
it was never paraded or exhibited. His familiarity with the
English »presentation was universal sad minute; his diag-
nosis of the constituencies was exact and precise; he had
estimated to a nicety their purity end impurity; ho knew their
Liberality and illiberality, saw at a glance the candidatea who
would sad who would not suit them, could tell the sum they
might to cost, and the slim they ought not to cost, pointed
out the {noel agents to be employed and those to be avoided.
And on all these and a hundred other points, hie information,
advice, and counsel were at the perfectly gratuitous service
and disposition of his party.

And then when the election had been lost or won.
when • petition wee presented, the Committee struck,
and the last strife and straggle came es, calm, cool,
good tempered and self-poeseseed,unencumbered himself with
pike of paper, and reducing his briefs to the very entallest
sire, Mr. Coppoilt wee • very model of • parliamentary sea
In aleotionsering difiknlties end Parliamentary danger. The
gran the stress of weather the more collected ha bean;
when the storm raged loudest it never disturbed Mr. Cep-
pock. Not overloading his counsel with materials, he war
always ready hiinalf at their elbow with the information
at wen wanted, and in the agonies of a case ha asset
worried his advocate by his anxieties. In then struggles
his clients placed the most unreserved reliance on
his fidelity. When, in mortification of defeat, they
occasionally felt disappointment, they could alwaya recog-
nise the party tileliry which animated all Mr. Coppock's pso-
I endings. Yet he was not an nnaernpnlons agent ; and the
opposition knew that him word ea given was always re-
deemed.

• Mr. Coppock, it must be confessed, had faults tad defeats;

in a struggle he loved to win it. This fault, no duet.
=bud many a seat for his party. Occasionally, however, it
won them by 1.11.421.1 the party was ashamed of, and the
• country justly condemned. It must, however, be recollected
that when Mr. Coppxk was lest called into political premiere
aid for the sueexed mg ten years, the potations of parties were
1..
maspetated, their struggles vehement, sad every election was
• desperately fought; and few men rise out of the habits they
acquire in the more with, and stirring scales of life. Of late
years Mr. Coppock would have served his friends better, and
have avoided much pereonal reproach, could he have escaped
from the infineeces and the atmosphere of the earlier part of
big weer. As it is we have now, it is to be hoped, nearly
out-lived the violence. of party and the electoral corruption
they engender; and, although et general ele.tione a certain
amount of management and organisation will always be re-
sumed to on either aide, the necessity and the prudence of
appainting a successor to Mr. Coppock may be doubted.
In private life, Mr. Coppock, if not a highly cultivated,
saes a kind and gecerous man, full of quick observation and
genial humour. His unfortunate comeeziou with the
Sarrry Gardena arose from the large and liberal assistance be
pee to their former proprietor. For his =venous to that
individual he had ample security. This security, however,
he abandoned when the company was formed ; end the re-
►nit of his association with it was the lose of u large, let ne
trust not the greater, part of his savings. Mr. Coppock wee
originally forced into an active share in the management of
' the gardens. timuitable es it was to all his habits of life,
so long as Le could take a prominent part in their oonduct,
the entertainments were profitable. The genus' election
withdrew in the second season his alten•ien from them.
Aker a long, 'exilic., end harassing parliamentary session
Mr. Coppock had, instead of repose and relaxation, to meet
and encounter all the trouble and annoyance arising from
their unexpected emlearramments. The vexation and mortifi-
cation of this affair, joined to the want of relief from hominess
during the long vacation, and to the duties of his new aloe,
did their work on Mr. Coppock's robust and sturdy frame,
and assisted in bringing him to a premature grave, with the
regrets of all Lis personal acquaintances.
