We can neil er claim il As our privilege, nor

shall strive 50 to temper our conduct as to give
no just cause Of complaint topolitical adversa-

DR. Duncans INTENDED Speech whrch tOas
NOT spoken IN Congress. Emporium aud
the Globe, Woodbury. Herald, and other collar
prints have commenced n publication with The
following FAILS E head:-"Speech Of Mr.. Dun

3D. 1888, on the bill 10 establish an Independent
Treasury" and they proceed to say, Mr.. Dun
can ADDRESSED The House follows"
Now is this not TOO bold and barefaced de-
cepon for editors, who profess to have any
moral, not 10 say religious sentiments, to deceive
their readers by such gross .fatsehood. They
know that that riglnarole Of stuff was NEVER
delivered in the House of Representatives.
They know that when DR.. Duncan attempted
to deliver his speech, the Speaker and many
others, called him to order some ten fifteen
times, and finally he was compelled to sit down
by the Speaker, (ocoloco us he is He then ask
ed permission 10 publish his speech ,oithout
speaking IT, and that also objected TO, and
thus he was foiled on every tack, in trying to
send such a string of falsehood before the peo-
pie as speech made IN Congress. But
thing must he done tn endeavour to coun'eract
Mr. Bonds mastery expose of government extrav-
agance; and forthwith the Globe steps forward
and publishes it, the same as if its delivery had
not actually been prevented, by the Speaker and
the House. Thus do the collar gentlemen try
TO evade and hide the Truth and deceive their
readers.

to have been made, what does it amount to:
Why to some few timlsey charges against Mr.
Adams and Mr. A,nnis's administrations tho

sins TO have run mountain high, will it excuse

STEAM BOATING.

The steam boat navigation between Prov

uncomfortable aud dangerous, through the
grasping misconduct of the Transportation
Company.-We desire 10 support the AS
serion Ivy n statement OF facts. ln The hrst
place, the Company avows determination,
which they say shall not be overcome, to
monopolizc the travel upon the Sound aud
with this view they attempt at any hazard
or sacrifice to run of my other boat that
may be put upon that route. They reduce
the price to "a low aud ruiuous rate, which
none but a rich aud powerful company
could endure for n month, aud so soon as
their more feeble opponents have been com
PEELED to retire, they raise the fare as mucl,
above a reasonable price, and thus nn abus-

exaggerated accounts.-I returned yes,cr-
day from an excursion on business into the
western part Of Ray county, and found the
people all in arms. A company of about
two hundred and fifty left yesterday under
command Of Gen. Atchison Of Liberty. i
conversed with him upon the subject, and
find he intends, if possible, TO prevent the
effusion Of blood, but the citizens generally
are of opinion that there will be severe
battle.
A force from Clay county started two
days since also from Carroll aud Davies,
fully beut on fight. A company of some
twenty men from this county started yes
terday. The issue will be known in few
days. One thing is certain, unless the citi-
zens march to the ground with a very SUI
perior force, in case of battle the Mormons
will overpower them. They are in COM
plete order and discipline, and have every
inducement for exertion, as Joe Smith tells
them if they arc beaten they need not ex-
pect resting place this side of heaven.
