TIE MoRuoSs have excited a good deal Of inte-
rest in Cincinnati, where one Of the sect has been
giving a history Of that people, and OF thsPersecu-
lions 10 which they have been recently exposed IN
Missouri. i, is stated, il the report given in the
Cincinnati News, that they we're ruthlessly driven
from their homes, then property destroyed, the W.
men and children forced into the woods, without
shelter from the inclemeney Of the weather OF Jan
NARY. where they roamed about till their feet be-
,sme 80 sore that their enemies tracked them by
heir foo,.pripts Of blood. Tho Mormons stated
that there were instances where men we're murder
ed in cold blood, and boys who had taken she'er
from the fury of the mob were dragged from their
hiding places, and, efter being cruelty maitrea'ed,
deliberately shot. In one case an old man, a sol
der Of The Revolution, was pursued by a mob but,
finding he could not escape. turned and suPplicated
their mercy. The reply he received was a shot
from a rifle, which wounded him mortally; he SUI
besoueht them to spare him, when one OF The party
Kicked Up a scythe, or sickle, and LITERALLY hacked
him to pieces as he lay on the ground.
THOMAS MoRRrs, formerly U. ). Senator, adj
dressed the meeting:
"He said he had been in the vicinity OF these
transactio -, and had taken some pains to &C
auain, himself with the fact AMI, from all be
could learn, the Mormons were an industrious and
harmless people; that no specific charge had been
brought against them by the Executive OF Missouri,
but that their persecution was for no other reason
than that their religion gave offence 10 a mob-for
causes which may at any time induce the same per
secution of any religious sect in our land. lie sand
he believed the statements made to be true, and
that they were corroboraied by those who resided
in the vicinity of their occurrence"

The Augusta Geo Chronicle recommends as a
speedy mode of ending the Florida war, that the
whole Territory be surrendered 10 Georgia and Al
ALBANIA; the land east of the Apalachicola to the
former, and that west of it to the latter. The
consequence would be, the Chronicles thinks, that
a law would be passed for a survey and a dis
position of the lands by lottery. They would be
drawn for in the fall! "No tribe of Indians" says
the Chronicle. "ever yet could stand before a
Georgia Lottery, nor could the Seminoles! They
would disappear before the Georgia landeaters like
a green wheat field in the spring before tho army
worm, and at the end of twelve months from the
drawing, there would not be one Of the followers of
Oseola and Sam Jones, left to raise the war-whoop
on the banks of the Withlacooche, or among the
green ernss Of The everelades ~

Picolata, a short time since.
They admitted the murder, and alleged tnat
they were ignorant of the treaty entered into win
Gen. Macomb.
Since then, however, the treaty has received ano-
Their bloody seal. Two men were killed at a place

ABOLITION AND DEmocRAcY.-Ih The Emancipa-
Tor, published in New York, states that when Col.
H.. NJ. johnson, the Democratic Vice President OF
the United States, was in that city, a few months
ago, " he took much pains to express to some OF
the gentlemen of color his deep interest in the
question of their rights and prospects; all he should
leave behind him at his death (his tUo daughfers)
WIS identified in destiny with them. lie also de-
clafed that each of his own slaves held a deed ct
emancipation, and would never serve any bot him
self. lie introduced his coiored ~risitors TO many
of tho puplic characters that called at his lodgings,
and expressed many sentiments highly honorable
TO his heart" The Emanciputor then goes on to
show by an extract from Col. Johnson's speech on
the Missouri question, that "lls interest in the
cause of abolition" is not of recent origin, as, IN
that speech, among other things, he sand, :" Ann
mute to deeds of beuevolence Abolition Societies.,
Sea- phrase which the Emancipator suggests as
a motto for a banner, in case Col. johnson accepts
the invitation. recently presented to him by the
g Democratic Common Council, j" TO visit the city OF
New York!
If such a paragraph as the foregoing had appear
ed in the Emaneipator, relative TO Mo. Clay,-lf
such a sentence as that which is proposed for an
Abolition motto, had been found in MIR. Clay's
speech on the Missouri question,-wha bitterness
Of reproach would ill the columns of the Democrat
&c Journals in the South! But here is the VICE
PRESIDENT, who. in case Of the death Of Mr.. Van
Buren, would be elevated to the Presidency,
who i. cobfessedly an Abolitionist in theory and
an A~malgamationist in practice-and who, even
while he fills the station of second officer of the Re-
public. is seen " cheek by jowl!' with Sambo and
Jpba and POmpey, in New York, discussing their
4" rights and prospects" pointing at bis " two daugh
ters," as evidence of his identity of feeling and in
terest with them. and recognizing their social E.
qusliry by introducing them to the public charac-
tiers" who called at his lodgings! Comment can
add no force to these facts. We leave them with
the people. They only satisfy Us of the truth of
the remark made by the Bay State Democrat,
the organ of the Van party in Massachusetts
- Abolition and Democracy are one-the Equal
Rights of all men-the greatest good oflhe greatest
number"
