prepared to say, having never had an opportunity
Of witnessing their conduct or operations. We
have always thought that little danger need be
aPprehcnded from this class of people, as respects
the welfare and happiness of the people in gene
raj, even If the many charges brought against them
are partly founded in truth. That they arc a mis-
led and de!uded people is the opinion of almost
every intelligent mind, but that dei,isi0n cannot
he remedied by persecution and laNlcss opposition
the reverse will be the result, as their treatment
in Missouri clearly demonstrates.
If they violate the laws of our State, a remedy
can be found at the bar of justice. Our constitu-
ton throws its protecting Ggis over every rc-
gous doctrine, and suffers every man to worship
Omnpocncc in any manner suitable to the die
tates OF his conscience. The Mormons enjoy
this privilege IN common with every other citizen,
re their religious or inions true or fale-sincere
Or hypocriticaI. From the peculiar nature of
their doctrine their creed must soon fall of itself,
Il founded on fiction, and this alone should ex.
cmpt thea from llwlcss spirit Of persecution,
unbecoming American citizens and our free
institutions.

Commissioner Of Tho General Land Once.

Mr.. +. NJ. Huntington, of Terrc Hauc Ind,
has been appointed to this office in the place OF
James Whitcomb, removed. Va.
How this appointment is received by those who
are acquainted with both Mr. Whitcomb and Mr.
Huntington, let the following language of the
Wabash Courier, the leading Wing paper in In.
diana, answer. After commenting severely on the
course pursued by Mr.. II. to procure the appoint
mont, the Courier says "That the appointment
can be justified upon his party merits, few here,
(wherc MrH. is well known,) will pretend to
assert; and we believe his mos, partial eulogists
will hardly affirm that he takes Mr., Whi,combs

NHOr,llOus.

Within tho last ten days between three and
four hundred Mormons passed through this place
on their way to the Mormon settlement in Han
cock county, in this State. On Tuesday last we
counted seventeen wagons, occupied with men,
women and children, all vending their way to-
wards the settlement of the "Latter Day Saints"
We understand they were from Western New
York, and their appearance was quite rcspec-
table, apparently being chiefly composed of far
mers 'h
We notice that large number from Europe
have recently arrived at the same settlement and
that others from different portions of the old and
new world are on the way. The settlement is
now said to contain between ten and fifteen thou.
sand inhabitants, and the town of Nauvoo is rep.
resented as being in lourishing condition. A
large Temples being erected, which is to contain
Baptismal Font, supported by twelve oxen,
overlaid with gold, all of tho most costly and
magnificent structure.
We notice by the Warsaw Signal, published
in the. vicinity of Nauvoo, that considerable pre-
judice exists in that section against this class of
people. The editor battles Prophet Smith with
much spirit, and dcnounces him as a hypocrite
and impostcr, and comments severely on their mi
litary parades and neutrality-suspicious..
Whether these charges are correct We arc not

Decision in the Mcleod Case.

The New York papers give the decision OF
the Supreme Court, delivered by Judge CowEN
at Utica, on the llth inst. The decision is quite
lengthy, and is an able and fearless document,
worthy of its talented author and the American
people, and nobly establishes the supramacy of the
laws over the threats OF a foreign government
The Court was unanimous in the opinion de-
livcred, which orders Mcleod back to Niagara
for trial, and declaring that he cannot be admit
ted to bail, nor delivered up to his government
tie was, therefore, rcmandcd back to take his trial
in the ordinary forms of law, and if found guilty
he will suffer the penalty of the law, and his 60
vcrnment can either rctracc its steps already Ia
ken or demand redress. This country is prcpa-
red for either course. To humble the British
Government will be glory enough, but to conquer
them on the field of battle, and ,ramplc under foot
its proud and naughty rulers, would be still more
glorious--morc satisfactory, and the victory more
complete.
The probability is that McIeod's counsel will
delay his trial for some length of time. The
Philadelphia Times says "Mcleods counsel
have resolved to carry the motion up to the Court
of Errors and argue it at the session to be held
Buffalo in August. If the Court of Errors should
affirm the decision of the Supreme Court, an ap-
peal lies, and will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States and meantime a rule, on
application Of the prisoners counsel, it is said,
will be made by the Court of Errors to stay pro.
ceedings in this case, until final decision can be
had" ....
In relation to the reception of the Courts de-
cision at Washington, the New York Herald
says "The opinion of the Supreme Court was
received, unollically, in advance of the regular
mail, at Washington on Tuesday, and we learn
that Mr.. Fox, the British Minister, has given as
suranco to our Government that no further steps
will be taken by him until the case goes through
the Courts of New York in the regular way. 80
For the present, at least there is perfectly good
understanding between Mr.. Webster and Mr. Fox,
and the latter will demand no passport but wait
the issue of McLeod's trial. which the minister
thinks should take place as soon possible, with
out any attempt to carry it to a higher court.
Such being the amount Of our information, we,
therefore, assure readers and the public, that
no ,car or d.GfcuHy can take place Nth England
at present-that Mcleod will probably be tried
in few weeks, in some other county than Ma
CARA, probably in Utica, where he now Isl

Ariral Of the Rocky Montai" Tradrs,-
The ST. Louis Pennant of the 18th inst says
s'Ten barges or "Macllinaw Boats arrived yes
tcrday morning from the head waters of the
Missouri and Yellow Stone loaded down with
Buffalo robes, furs, buffalo tongues, &c, being
the proceeds of the rappers and hunters employed
by the American Fur Company at the Rocky
Mountains. We should think the Company had
made this trip profitable one as We learn the
number of robes alone exceeds 10000. The
steamer Trapper is expected hourly with the bal
ance Of the furs, &C."

Ia SALE. July 81, 1871
"Don't Give up the Ship ?!

GESr.-A large, spirited, and enthusiastic nee.
ting of the citizens of La Sale was held at the
Rail Road Hotel last evening for the purpose OF
hearing an address from JAMES III. RALsTOy, the
Democratic candidate for Congress in this district
A. HYATT was called to the chair, and General
STEWART was appointed secretary. The chair
man then introduced Judge RaIston to the people.
The Judge stated in brief and courteous manner
his claims for the support of the Democracy of this
district. He was listened to with great interest
by all. 1t was an able speech, exposing the false
promises, and the inconsistent, dishonorablc, and
frivilous course pursued by John +. Stuart, his
opponent. He made laborcd and finished expo
stion of the wing party, showing that their promi-
ses of better times Immediately after Gen. Harri-
sons election should be known were false and in
conclusion he appealed to the Democracy of this
distrct-urged them TO turn out on Monday next
in an unbrokcn phalanx make one more push for
VICTORY, for the good of our common country,
for the good of this district, and for the good and
honor of Democratic principles to stand by our
guns-"Don't give up the ship" because we got
licked last November, but make one unanimous,
oflectual fire along the Democratic line, and we
shall triumph. The meeting then adjourned with
that good order and feeling so characteristic of the
Democratic party. Yours, A DEMOCRAT.

a THOUGHT.

As springs the fountain from the woodland hill,
As flows the torrent down the mountains side,
As onward speeds the purling ripping ril',
As rolls the river in majestic pride
As each of these obeying natures skill,
As all of these into the ocean glide
AS each and all the ocean help to fill,
And spread their waters with unbounded stride :;
SO earth, to hope immunity from ill
SO Heaven, kind, to send blissiul tide
So man to cease to be afflicted still
So human life to be to good allied -
So each and all their duty must fulfil
SO each and all portion must provide
So all must act in one harmonious ,riH,
And Happiness will spread its boundaries wide.

The meeting at the Court House on Saturday
evening was well attended. a greater number
could not easily be brought together on any occa-
sion at so short a notice. The peopc--whigs
and dcmocrats-wcrc anxious to hear Judge R,L-
sroN speak, to see what claims he has to their
support, and to compare them with those of his OPP
son Judge Ralston will not be the loser. John L.
Stuart has been minority representative from the
largest Congressional district in the United States
for two years already. During that time he has
done nothing to show that this district would not
have been as well off without representative in
Congress. His name occurs on the Journal only
among the yeas and nays. 1t is time we should
have more efficient representative in the nation
al legislature. And where can we get better
man than James Ii. Ralston! His industry, per-
severance, and extensive influence while acting as
a senator in our own legislature, give US every as
surance that if sent to Congress our interests
will be well attended to there. His speech on
Saturday evening showed that he has the abili-
ty to urge our claims upon the attention of Con-
gress and that dauntless energy of character which
alone could take him from the plough and
| place him on the bench, will not fail to secure to
him an influence at Washington which will be
bencfcially felt by his constituents.
