The troubles among the Mormons at Nauvoo
are over, and quiet is again restored ! think
there will be no farther disturbance there. The
humbug has exploded with the death Of the I'm.

They are very bitter against Gov. Ford, and in

murder of the Prophet. Ford before he gets
through with them, viii get we'll paid for his in.
trigues with them.
Our Election takes place in two weeks from
Monday next, and there will undoubtedly be a
heavy vote poed. In this District we have the
strongest hopes of electing the Wing Candidate
for Congress, NJ. P. SWEET, Esq. He has been
canvessing the District with great spirit, energy
and ability for the last SIX weeks. TO give you
some idea OF the way our candidates do up
things" IN this remote regIon. will state how
Mr.. Sweet canyassed this joe DaviessI County
He arrived at Gaiena on Saturday P. NJ July l3,
after having ridden all the previous night, and
made speech in the evening TO large crowd in
the street. On Monday following he goes from
Galcna TO Nlillvil!e, q miles, where he makes
speech at II O'Clock 4. NJ. !; he returns 10 Scoles'
Mound, eleven miles from Mlville, and makes
speech there at ) o'clock P NJ. ard returns to
Galena on the same day. On Tuesday morning
he goes to Apple River, fifteen miles, and makes
speech at Il o'clock Nj from thence he goes
to the South D!ggins. two miles, and makes an.
other speech at O'Clock on the same day. On
Wednesday morning he goes from the South Dig
gins to Craig's, ten miles. where he makes a
speech at II O'Clock A. NJ and from thence
back TO Galcna, fifteen niles, where he makes
another speech at o'cock P. ~ When the
bad state Of the roads aud lhe hot weather are
taken into the account, / think it viii he acknow
lcdged that Illinois has some as interchangeable
Wings as can be found III the Union.
Boye, the present incumbent aud candidate for
reelection, has only made one speech during the
canvass, and has not as yet gone abou, the Dis

- an ANNEXATION II.

me Editor of the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Monitor
recently wrote to Mr. Clay asking him 70 state
whether the Monitor had not justly understood
him TO regard the assent Of the States at present
comprising cur Union essential to the admission
Of new Territory, and the strenuous dissent OF
norton OF those States an insagerabIe obstacle te
the measure. Mr. Clay responds frankly is i'i'

You have iustsv conceived my meaning, when
rcferred in nv Texas letter, 70 considerable and
r,spectablc portion of liIc ConieGerdey. Ans
ven might have strengthened your construction
OF the paragraph By reference 10 the fact that al
Inc date OF nv letter, the States o! Ohio, Fef
mont and Massachusetts, had, almost unanimous
", declared against Annexation; the Legislature
of Ceoroia had declined TO recommend II, aud
other States were believed 10 De opposed TO the
measure. As 10 the idea OF my courtlng the
.Abo!.yionists, ii s;pcricctly absurd No man N

mittsa into the concern at :hc ipminent hazard

objection TO the Annexation oi Texas but
certainly would be unwilling to see the existing
Ca;on dissolved or seriously jcopaided or the sake
of acquiring Texas. Ii any one desire 10 knew
the leading and paramount object OF my punhc
life, the preservation OF this Union will furnish
MN the key.
From developments now being made IN South
Carolina, it is perfectly manifest that party
exists in that State seeking dissolution OF the
Union. and ior that purpose employing the pre-
text of the rejection Of Mr.. Tyier's abomlnabie
Treaty. South Carolina, being surrounded by
Slave States, would in the event OF Il dissolution
of the Union, suffer only comparative evils but
it is otherwise with kentucky. She has The
boundary of the Ohio extending five hundred
miles on three free States. Wha, would her
condition be in the even; of the greatest calamity
that could belall this Nation
