SANTA FE TRApERs-The lar
gest caravan of Santa Fe Traders that
has ever gone out, left Independence,
Missouri, on the cath ult. They num-
Der, says the st. Louis Republican, a.
bout one hundred and seventy-fve
wagons. Captain Cook, of the United
States Army, with portion of three
companies of Dragons, about one hun
dred and fifty men, left on the same
day as an escort. The Dragons will
escort the traders to the Arkansas, and
if satisfied that there is no danger be-
yond, they will return. If, however,
the Texans are still in the plains, the
escort will continue with the caravan
to Santa Fe.
Recent accounts from Bcnt's Fort
and the plains, induce the confiden. be-
lief that the caravan which went out
in the spring, under the protection Of
the United States troops, have reached
their destination without molestation
from the TEXANS. The plains are said
to be free of Texans, except War
field aud party of about fifteen or
twenty men. 1t is believed Warfeld's
party would not venture 10 attack the
traders.

The Mississippi, with its three thousand miles Of

boast history half so brilliant, or lock to future
half So promising as that which awaits these ma
jestic Lakes. That they are, and at no very dis

holding western States will find their way to the
great ihoroughfare of nations, is not dosbted by
those who are conversant with the indomiiable
spirit of enterprise that has planned, and immense
advantages that would arise from such connec-
ton. No Iosger ago than ten years, Lake Mich

CANDOR OF HUSBAND AND WIFE
A WHISPER To THE HUSBAND.

The happiness of the wife is committed
to the keeping of the husband. Prize the
sacred trust and never give her cause to re-
pent the confidence she has reposed in YOU.
In contemplating her character, recollect
the materials human nature is composed of,
and do not expect perfection.
Do Justice to her merits and point out
her faults; for | do not ask you to treat
her errors with indulgence, but then en-
deavor to amend them with wisdom, gen.
tleness and love.
Do not Jest about the bonds Of married
state. Make it an established rule to con,
suit your wife on all occasions. Your in
terests are hers; and undertake no plan
contrary to her advice and appreciation;
then if the affair turns out i'll, YOU are
spared reproaches both from her and your
own feelings. There is in woman an Intu-
tive quickness, sagacity, a penetration
and foresight into the probable consequcn-
ces of an event, that make her peculiarly
calculated 10 give her opinion and advice.
whom, on reasonable grounds, your wife
wishes you to resign, do SO. Never wit
ness a tear from your wife with apathy or
| lnul1STenCe. w OTus, lOOhS, dCtlOhs-dtl
may be artificial; but tear is unequivocal;
it comes direct from the heart, and speaks
at once the language of truth, and sinceri-
ty! BE assured, when you see a tear or
her cheek, her heart is touched; and do moi,
again repeat it, do not behold it with
GOODNESS or insensibity.
Let contradiction be avoided at all times
Never upbraid your wife with the mean
ness of her relations; invcctives against
herself are not half so wounding. Should
suffering of any kind assail your wife, your
tenderness and attention are particularly
called for. A look of love, word of pity
or sympathy, is sometimes better than med
icine,
Never reproach your wife with any per
sonal or mental defect; for a plain fact
sometimes conceals heart of exquisite
sensiblity and merit, and her conscious
ness of the defect makes her awake TO tn
i slightest attention or inattention. WheI
= in the company of others, let your wife

: and preference. The most trivial wor

ifies her feelings; and man never appears
to more advantage than by proving TO the
world his affection and preference for his
wife.
Never run on in enthusiastic encomiun!a
on other women in presence of your wife;
she does not love you better for il. Much
to be condemned, is married man con-
stantly rambling from home for the purpose
Of eassing away time. Surely if he wants
employment, his house and grounds will fur
nish him with il, and if he wishes for socie-
ty, he will find in his wife. children and
books, the best society in the world.
There are some men who will sit an en-
tire day with their wives and scarcely
word escape their lips. This is wrong
you should converse freely on all such &C.
casions. Be always cheerful, gay and good
humored. When abroad do not avoid
speaking to your wife. Few women are
insensible of tender treatment. They are
naturally frank and affectionate, and in gen
eral, there is nothing but austerity of look,
or distance of behavior, that can prevent
those amiable qualities from being evinced
on all occasions.
When absent, let your letters to your
wife be warm and affectionate. A wo-
mans heart is peculiarly formed for tender
ness, and every expression and endearment
from the man she loves is fattering and
pleasing to her.
A husband, whenever he goes from home
should always endeavor to bring some little
present to his wife.
In pecuniarv matters do not be penuriou5
or too particular. Your wife has an equal
right with yourself to all your worldly pos
sessions. Besides really woman has in
Vulnerable trifling demands on her purse,
many little wants which it is not necessary
for man to be informed of, and which
even if he went to the trouble of investiga-
ing, he would not understand.

high pretensions and base designs of this
latter day would be Mahomet.
Resolved, 5th. That provided we must
necessarily, for the well being of this COM
munity; the protection of our dearest
rights, and the preservation of our excel
lent institutions, adopt measures to humble
the pride and arrogance of that audacious
despot; we therefore call upon all good and
honest men, without distinction of party
or place, to come to the rescue.
Resolved, 9th. That we pledge ourselves, in
the most determined manner, that, if the authori.
ties OF the State Of Missouri shall make another
demand for the body Of Joseph Smith, and our
Governor shall issue another warrant, to stand
ready at all times to serve the officer into whose
hands such warrant may come, as Posse, in
order that it may not be said OF u.s. in future, that
the most outrageous culprits have been suffered
"to go unwhipped OF justice"
Resolved, 7th. That a corresponding
committee be appointed to communicate
with the different parts of this county, and
also with other counties; and we would
also recommend to all surrounding counties
to appoint like committees, for the purpose
of mutual interchange of views, in regard
to the subjects embraced in these proceed
ings.
Resolved, 9Th. That, as it has been too
common for several years past for polti-
clans Of both political parties, not only of
this county, but likewise Of the State, to
90 to Nauvoo and truckle to the heads of
the Mormon clan, for their influence, we
pledge ourselves, that we will not support
any man, of either party, in future, who
shall thus debase himself.
Resolved, 9th. That if the Mormons
carry out the threats they made in regard
to the lives of several Of our citizens, we
will if failing to obtain speedy redress from
the laws Of the land take summary and
signal vengeance upon them as people.
Resolved, 10th. That when the govern.
ment ceases to afford protection, the citi,
zens Of course fall back upon their origina!
and inherent right of self-defence.
Committees were appointed in pursu-
ance of the several resolutions; and then
on motion of Henry Newton, Esq.
Resolved, That the Central Committee
of correspondence, act as general Com
miltee of Supervision, and in case of a
contingency occurring, requiring aid, that
they Immediately call on the precinct COM
mittees, and upon all others favorable to
our cause, to furnish such aid as the ext
gency of the case may require.
On motion Of Chas. c. Stevens, the fol-
lowing Resolution was unanimously adopt
ed.
Resolved, That the President of this
meeting be requested to communicate with
the Governor of Missouri, and respectfully
request him to make another demand upon
the authorities Of this State, for the body
of Joseph Smith, commonly called the
Mormon Prophets; and in the event of a
requistion and an order, for his arrest, and
delivery to the proper officers of the State
Of Missouri, we offer our services to en-
force said order-and pledge ourselves to
sustain the supremacy of the laws, at all
hazards. and under all circumstances.
