MIR. CLAY.-Strong efforts are now being made
In different portions of the Union, to bring Mr. Clay
distinctly before the people as a candidate for the
next Presidency. He has recently been put in no.
mlnatlon by mass meeting, held in the city of
New York, and also in several other cities of the
Union AT Lexington, Kentucky, great festival
was given to Mr.. Clay on the 9th ult 1t is said to
have been attended by twenty thousand persons, of
whom three thousand were ladies'; a sumptuous bar
becue was gwen on the occasion. Barbecues seem
to be the order of the day at Clay festivals As the
wings succeeded in electng General Harrison by
the potency of hard cider carousas, so thew now
think to eat Clay into the Presidency on roast beef
The Al5anyArgus very Justly remarks on this sub
Ject, that Z" substantial eating is better than wild
and irrational drinking; though it is chance if the
people do not require some other "docIaration of
principles than either" MIR. Clay in his recent
speech at Lexington KY, evinced his attachment to
a National Bank to be as strong as ever, and he
Will no doubt be disposed to make the Bank cues
ton the issue of his election. This will be likely to
embarrass many OF his northern supporters. The

The Hon. E. V. WHrroN, of Rock county, who
has heretofore enjoyed most honorable distinction
as legislator, has lately won golden opinions by
his efficient aid in promoting the cause of temper
ance. A month or two since, at Madison, during
the session of the Supreme Court, he effected the
formation ofa Washington society, composed ex-
clu sively of members of the bar, large number of
whom from all parts of the Territory were in atten-
dance at the seat of government, and most of whom
with himself, aenrolei their names under the tenn
perance pledge. A most eloquent address was
then and there delivered by Mr.. W., and SUISSE
quently he favored the citizens of Milwaukee with
still more eloquent one, if possible. We were in
formed by gentleman who heard it, that it
that he had ever had the pleasure of listening to-
1t is truly gratifying to those who have the ca
pa city to be emnently useful, thus stepping forward
to assist in the advancement of temperance prnei
pies; and peculiarly is it gratifying to the numerous
friends of Mr.. w. that he has become subject, as
well as an advocate of the glorious reformation,
which under the aspces OF such men as he, has
spread itself throughout almost our entire Territory,
from north to SOUTH ana from east to west, until
hardly an inebrae is left. Our qualification In the
premises we cannot, and would not if we could
refrain from expressing.
Mr.. w. is one of the best men in the Territory
His superior talent, united with strict integrity OF
character, and sobriety of habits; the first OF which
has always been with him characteristic, and the:
last of which will doubtless hereafter be equally So,
cannot fail to secure to him eminence In the flu
ture, with which the past will bear but slight
comparison.

taken for granted that the bank had permanently re-

HARBoR AT MILWAUKEE. our last it was sta
ted that bill had been reported in Congress to aid
IN the construction of harbor at Milwaukee. Ac
cordlng to the Courier, a main feature of this bin
Is to set apart for the object 1000 acres of the
canal lands, to be sold and the proceeds expended
under the direction Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
The Courier remarks" 1t is presumed that the
above amount of lands, and the amount that will,
If necessary, be advanced by our citizens and the
forwarding men, will be sufficient to make at this
place, the best harbor on the western shore of lake
Michigan"
We trust, although we may be disappointed in
our reasonable expectations of getting harbor ap
preparation during tho Prosont session Of Congress-
that our Milwaukee neighbors will not be in theirs.
tor certainly the interests Of our lake commerce
and o. the Territory generally, imperiousy require
that there should be harbor without further deav.
constructed at some important point on our expos
ed lake coast, and we know not of more irnpor
tant one than Milwaukee.
The Courier may rest assured that ono obiec-
ton will come from this quarter

APPORTIONMENT BILL.

We stated last week that the House of Repre
sentatises had acceded to the amendments pro-
posed by the Senate to the apportonment bill, and
that the number of 7060O was fixed as the ratio of
representation. Unless reconsideration shall be
moved and sustained, the basis of representation
for the next Congress, fixed for the next ten
years. The next House of Representatives will
have nineteen members less than the present.
number, however, quite large enough for the eff
clent transaction of business. One great difficulty
attending the fixing of the ratio of representation,
has been the disposal of the fractional numbers
Whatever number of inhabitants might be fixed
upon as the basis of repre- sentaon, some of the
states must necessarily be losers in CONSCIENCE of
large fractions unrepresented Under the provis-
ions of the present bill, where the fractional num-
Der in state exceeds 35,340, such state is entl
tied to representation for such fraction. BY the
new apportlonment, some of the states, will have
their present number of Representatives considera
ly lessened. The Southern States will be the
greatest losers in this respect; Maryland loses two
Virginia, seven; North Carolina, four; South Car
DINA, two Georgia, one; Tennessee two; Ken
lucky, three Some of the Northern States also
lose considerably. Massachusetts loses two; New
York, six; Pennsylvania, four. The gain in rep
resentatlon will be in Ohio, two; Indiana, three;
Illinois, two; Michigan, two; Missouri, one.
The following table exhibits the number of men,
bers to which each state will be entitled in the
House under the new apportionment

Since the census Of 1910, four new towns have
been organized as will be observed, viz: YorkVille,

Southport, and the last part of Salem.

THE PROPHET.
The Prophet, Joseph Smith, delivered
powerful discourse, last Sabbath, to All
attentive audience Of about 5000, in this
city. The subject matter was drawn from
the 32nd and 33rd chapters Of Ezekiel
wherein it was shown that old Pharaoh,
was com!oried, and greatly rejoiced, that
he was honored as kind of Devil, over
those unc!rcumciscd nations, that go
down to hell for rejecting the word Of the
Lord, wilhstanding his mighty miracles,
and fighting the saints: --The whole exhibi-
ted as pattern to this generation, and the
nations now rolling in splendor over the

The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 10Th ult

of intelligence by this arrival, is account of an
attempt to assasslnate the Queen of England. Her
Majesty and Prince Albert were returning to the
palace in open barouche, when an assassin pre-
sented pistol, and discharged it at the Queen the
miscreant missed the object of his aim. The wretch
was instantly seized by soldier of the Scotch
guards; he is Englishman, about 20 years of
age, named John Francis, son of scene superin-
tender OF the London Theatres. He was heard to
make the following remark few minutes before
he discharged his pistol--"The Queen why should
she be such an expense to the nation! 1t is sup
