Gen. Joseph Smith, Ohe prophet,) mayor OF
the city Of Nauvoo, has published proclamation
in the Nauvoo Wasp, addressed to the citizens of
the holy city, stating that there exists sup and
down the Mississippi" and round about the city of
Nauvoo "a band Of dcspcradoes, bound by osths
of secrecy, under severe penalties" and that he
understands some of the members, who have.
through fasehood and deceit, been drawn into
their SHARES, are, through fear Of the execution Of
tho said penalties on their persons, prevented from
divulging their secret plans and deprcdations
the prophet mayor, therefore, "grans and ensures
protection against all personal violence to each
and every citizen Of the holy city who will freely
and voluntarily come forward and truly mako
known the names of all such abominabe charac-
ters.' The invitation will doubtless DO generally
responded to by the pious Nauvooans.

The FREE TRADER.

Dcat:, OF fudge Robinson.

We have this week the melancholy duty to per
form Of announcing the death OF the Hon. JouS
NJ RonISsoS, one Of the judges Of the supreme
court. He died at the Mansion House in this
place, on the 9th inst, at 81 O'Clock, r. NJ, after
an illness of twen,y-scven days, in the 50th year
Of bis age. He bore his long Illness with great
fortude, and retained tho full possession of his
intellectual faculties until within few minutes
prior to his death. Previous to the morning Of
his death, his friends and attendants entertained
the most sanguine expectations Of his rapid reco-
very, from the circumstance Of his entire freedom
from disease and having, for the last few days,
gnned strength to that degree that he was able 10
set up for some time In his chair without fatigue,
md expressed his ability to do SO on the following
day. But, from the circumstance of p!eurilc
affection intervening, which could not, by any
earthly foresight, have been anticipated, these
hopes were blasted, and his system sunk under It's
blightins effects, although the disease was met by
the most prompt, energetic, and unremtling re.
medal means.
II will afford some consolation to his numerous
friends to know tina, lie received, during his sick
ness, the most assiduous and acctionac attention,
and that all that medical science and ski, could
DO 10 check the progress Of disease was done.
During the short time Judge RoBISsov was
upon the circuit, he had acquired the confidence
and esteem Of the bar, without, as far as we are
informed, solitary exception.
The deceased possessed intellectual faculties of
very superior order. lie discharged tic duties
Of his high Office with dignity, urbanity, and
pronptiludc seldom surpassed. His unexpected
departure has cast deep gloom over this conmu-
nifty, where, although SO recently stranger he
had already acquired many warm personal friends.
Tho funeral of Judge RoDrxsos will take place
on Sunday, ut 10 o'clock, AN.
The following fit and appropriate proceedings
Of the members of the bar OF this county, have

change of rulers, and the hopes of whigery
will thus be frustrated for years to come. Hence
the contemplate course of their papers in this
state IN regard TO our canal. Meanncss, in her
most daring flights, never conceived Of an object
more infamous than the character Of him who
would wifully plunge his own state into irretrioy-
able ruin for the sake of atanig some base par
ty ends. Yet whigery in our state does not even
shrink from this.
Blu, there is one wing paper that must be ex-
cep;cd from this general dcnunciation. We take
pleasure in bearing witness to the high minded
and honorable course pursued by the Chicago Ex-
press in relation to the canal. That paper has
invariably been found sustaining the true interests
Of that great work, nor has il failed to demonstrate,
IN the most earnest terms, against the unprinci.
pied course pursued by the whg press in other
parts OF the state. Speaking of the governors
letter to Messrs. Oakley and Ryan, the Express
uses the following language: "Governor Fordpo-
siti>eIy declares that no citizen of this state with
whose opinions he is acquainted believes in the
right Of the legislature to repeal contracts and So
Tenn engagements at one session which had been
entered into at previous one. This statement
is, we believe, correct one and we are most hop
by to find that the sentiments heretofore advanced
by US upon this point are so fully sustained by
his cxcellency. Journals unfricndy, we must
believe, to the canal, take different view Of this
matter from the only one which, upon the matur-
est reflection, ourselves find it possible to take.
We cannot, shall not believe that the ocofoco
party Of this state justly chargeable with the
Infamous sentiments upon the suhec, Of vested
rights imputed to them by those journals, until
some evidence Of the fact is furnished US. None
whatever has yet been adduccd"

British Philanihropy--No nation boasts more
of her philanthropy than England; yet no nation
has always acted on more selfish principles or has
more national sins to answar for. The follow,
ing paragraph, illustrative of this, we clip from
a letter of the accomplished European CORE
spondent of the Richmond Enquirer, written at
York, England:
Great Britain is no better now than she was
century and quarter ago. This is bold asscr-
ton, but it is nevertheless true. She has given
no evidence that she is less hearilcss or less vi
clous than she was in 1913; when, by the 9th
article of the treaty of Utrecht, she confirmed the
contract, Che celebrated asienio,) between the
English Guinea Company and the king Of Spain,
by which she became party to the slave traffic.
The Company gave 1000 crowns to Spain for
the privilege Of transporting slaves into tho Anne
rican Spanish colonies, and one fourth Of all the
profits resulting from the shipments 10 The King Of
England Thus regular partnership was form
ed for dealing in human flesh, aud the trade sue
cessiully prosecuted under the firm of ''British
Government and English Guinea Company" In
this method portion of her boosted wealth was
acquired. America has no stain--no national de-
gradotion-upon her character like this.

VIII. Congregational Convention.

There appears to be very dminutlve bit Of u
squabble going on between the wings of La Sale
and the wings Of Cook, in relation to their con-
we are unable entirely to "get the hang Of" On
lsth Of March last, it will be remembered, the
wings Of La Sale held a county meeting at this
place, when, ''inasmuch as there existed no organ
lied body Of wings within this district whose Pc
culiar duty it was to call con grcssional conven-
ton" they took it upon themselves TO recommend
that convention to nominated candidate for con-
gress be held on The 25th of May, and ''that the
number Of delegates from each county be equal 10
double its representation in the general assembly )
and during court week they held another meeting
and appointed six delegates in accordance with
Ibis arrangement At least week after all
this had taken place, the wings Of Cook, appa-
parently without taking any notice whatever OF
the previous doings Of the La Sale wings, is
sue their decree, ordering the convention to be
held on the seth Of LINE and suggesting an en-
tirely different ratio of representation from that
suggested 10y the wings of La Sale. But the La
Sale wings, it seems, are determined not TO "knuc
klc under to the wings of Cook, and have issuct
their decree, persisling in calling the convention
in accordance with their prcvios recommendation
Now this looks queer Have the Cook wing,
"given in or is this regular collision 7 If th.
latter is the case, we say hurrah for the wings o
La Sale! They were the FIRST TO fix tho time
and mode of holding the convention. aud it wa.
exceedingly bad breeding in the Cook wings tc
alter either without their consent

For Farmers.

The Chicago Democrat talks thus to the farm
ers Though latest adviccs from the east repre-
sont an advance on wheat, yet, from the scarcity
of money and the want OF places to store it, it is
impossible to get higher than So cents for the ve-
present is no time to sell wheat. The appcaran-
ces are against an ordinary crop next year, and it
ought to bling 81. Hold on, farmers, for the pre-
scnt.-Corn shelled is very scarce and readily
brings 80 cents. The trvclIing is bad, and none
can now be brought here. 1t may fall with better
roads, but many think it will continue at 30 to 80
