9Th, at 10 o'c,ock-There is glorioas deal of pure
democracy in this ward. Instead of John Smith, Wm.
Brown, Charley and Sammy. Many of the nleren-
dent voters" consider it ID aristocracal to give
Christian names at fnlI-equa'ity is the order Of tho
no doubt nll will behave themselves.
AT II o'clock. 23o votes pcllod. Almost every
is questioned. This shows the importance of the cleo
t1on The noise riot and confusion here kept up show
the character and fndignity of the boodv xth.
9TH The sailors, shpbuilers, and mechanics are out
here strong as iron orJcn Monroe and Moses Grnne
The wings will not bet that Gov. Marcy does
coed but they nrc 'avng heavy sums that his majority
will not exceed 10000
9th. The bar door does a glorious business
here; captains of little companies of d, 5, 6 or 8
voters marshal their men before the bottles, then
pl icing in the hands Of each the proper tick that
they to vote, give the order to drinks there is
no hinching. The locofocos are making mere
d'b'e exertioGs-they say it is sad day for the
silk stocking men. They are mis,ak en-.
9Th. The polls opened here at half past seven
O'Clock, and the mob was immense This is
! genuine locooco w I'd; but they dronl so much
| over night that they didh't rise very early The
wings TUNED out uncom monty strong, and rushed
'otte polls in body. They hocked up the en-.
| rance, and kept possession oft till half pnst 8.
| Then the locos woke no and came dow in nno,hc-
| strong body: then began shouting, cursing and
lighting.
l0th. As carly as four o'clock the locofoccs
mustered at rh,Ir head quarters, headed by Al.
| derman Pnrdy, and marched down To the polls
with drnns beating and colours flying. OF course
NJ voting took place until eight O'clock and MS
the whic had got their breaH fast and turned out
by that time, the work advanced slowly.
IL h. They have made great exerr,ons in this

| Works, hnt wi hout effect; they nre voting in
crowds and have made the mum Der OF votes polled
Al up to II O'Clock.
18th. To carry this strong hold of the ancient
doctrines If Jacks >nsm, three schooner loads of
locotcos nre said be anchored in the East River
One load arrived last nj ght from Phadelp one
IRON New Jersey, and the third from the state of
| Maine. Up to nine o'clock, however. very littie
I had been done: scarcely two hundred votes having
been deposited, and the numbers judged to
be about equal. No fighting, and but little drink !.
ing had taken place up 70 this hour; but both
parties were determined to lido or de-, and mar,
shaliing the ,rsto the polls 18th all the ca ger.
ness of men who have set their lives upon the cast
and swear'o stand the hazard oflhe die.
l4h. Here the wings have most money bu,
the ocos most lmpudence. The locrs have bui t
very large caravan of pine boards, 10 eectionecf

| Police Office was the most prominent individual nj
our second visit to this up town police booth. Ha
vows that il he has TO lose of flesh per day
| day, he will give the butchers and drovcrs sswot
vote for Warlal" a swearing. We never saw
more confidence manifested by the wings in such
had weather. and their leaders swear that no
quantum OF rain shall damp their hopes.
Mormon Wharf.-The prospects If a civil war in Mis-
SOL ri hourly incr asing The Republican speaks
of skrmish between the Mormons and citizens near
the line Of Ray county, in which of the latter were
killed, and large number captured. The Missouri
Watchman of the 29h publishes extra by request of
the governor, in which it is officially stated thar tie
Nomons have placed th eves in an attitude of omen
defiance to the lsws: that they have driven the nhal-
tants of Davies county from their homes have piIaged
and burnt their habatons, driven off their CATTLE and
taken the lives ofmany peaceful citizens They are now
to be d alt with enemies and traitors to the COUNTRY
for which purpose the governor has ordered out force
OF three thousand men to march to the aid of the suffer
ing inhabitants tn of outrage. The citiz ms
of Ray county have had meeting their Court House
in Richmond at which they ordered three compa
MICS Ot volunteers to guard their frontiers against in
cursons, but determining entirely on the ieen-
ave until they receive aid from the executive
The Report made by c. n. Morehend' Mr.. Thornton,

west Of his place at Diamond, was deserted by all
but the Mornons and who had only spared him and his

Gal'ahn was burned, except only house. and the
whole country round rendered complete waste.
letter from Judge King, dated Richmond 9th Oc-
tobcr, confirms all these staements and makes MANY
Others still revolving. The Judge states that Jo
Smith told the people That they must now arenge their
own wrongs: that all who did not take IN arms with
them should be pronounced against them their proper
ty conf'caed and their lives forfeited. With this dec
laration he marched forward with his people and com
all the punder to store house their camp, where

to Put death who shall heray or desert them
