Important from Nauvoo.
FROM NAUVOO.

Our accounts from Nauvoo are up to the
9th. There has yet been no blood shed,
though there is still danger there may be.
1t appears no attempt vas made by the
the citizens of Hancock county, to arrest
the persons who destroyed tho Z" EXPOSE
tor press on the 10Th. the day they had
appointed for that purpose but they de-
termined to await the arrival Of Governor
Cord. The Governor reached Warsaw on
the 10Th. He Immediately declared pub
licly his fixed determination TO bring to
the aid Of the civil authorities all the force
he possessed for the arrest Of those con-
cerned in the destruction Of the Nauvoo
Exposltor, and for the faithful and fearless
administration Of the law. TO this end,
he sent orders to the brigadier general Of
the fourth brigade, TO rendezvous, forth
with. at Warsaw, provided with eigh,
days provis ons. The brigade consists of
four Regiments and is about two thousand
strong. There were, also, under arms a,
Carthage and its vicinity, one thousand
citizens, ready to aid in the execution OF
the laws. Gov. Ford had sent two express
ses to Nauvoo, commanding Smith to send
two of the most discreet members Of the
common council 10 the governor, with an
explanation (f any they had to make) oil
their conduct in destroying the private
property Of citizens Of this state. These
messengers had not returned to Warsaw
at the latest accounts.
The Gov. also sent orders to Col. Buck.
master, at Alton, for all the arms Of the
State in his possession fit for service; ant
they were sent up or the Die Vernon
The number Of these is comparatively
trIfiing; consisting Of say 100 yagers
twenty muskets, and three six FOUNDERS.
On the 10Th the Mormons were abou
$500 strong, all fully armed and equip
ped. with full supply of provisions anc
ammunition. They were also in possession
of six pieces of artillery, carrying six.
pound balls. The city of Nauvoo wa,

TuAr Mass Rar,r,e,r,os MEETING,

That Mass RATIFICATION MEETING
We not ced in the American of the Both ult
a wonderfully patriotic appeal 10 the wings
lof Racine, Walworin, Rock, &C., TO assem-
bic in mass meeting at Southport on the 81
inst. We believe hand-blls were printed
md scattered all over the county, and the
wings were told tia, they should be edited
by speakers from abroad, as TO the tenets Of
whiggcry. We pay little attention TO the
movements oc our opponents, and thought
no further Of this, surprising we should find
| il all in good time, in the sheet that con-
tanned these flaming announcements. I'm
der this impression we opened the last Am
erican, and much to our surprise found no
staring capitals; no wonderful display as 10
the tremendous gathering Of the wings OF
Racine, Rock and Walworh !; nor no evil
dences of the eloquencc of those speakers
from abroad. We found. however, that a
= Wing Meeting" had been held, and fur
Their the report said not. We took the pains
TO enquire into the matter, aud found that
the n'mes which appear in the proceedings
comprise very fair share of all who were
present. The wonderful " Mass Meeting y
embodied about Is persons.
We have no doubt whatcyc-, that at a
proper time, and under proper crcumstan-
ces, our wing friends could get up very
tolerable meeting, SO far as numbers are
concerned. There are enough of them, in
the counties of Rscinc, Rock and Walwor,h,
and enough Of them, who, as we said, at the
proper time and under favorable circumstan-
ces, would be perfectly willing to attend ;
but TO expect them to attend at the beck of
every individual who W she's to minister TO his
vanity by d splay, OF hopes to build up a
popularity for himself, is expecting little
too much.

NeU York Tribune.
The "qnip' Of which the editor of the
Tribune speaks, embodics one of the i'm
portant features of the protective theory,
viz that the protective tax lowers the price
of the article protected. Whether the an
ecdote of the fre-placcs is conclusive on
the point or not, others can judge we con-
fess our inability to see its application.
Doubtless by Improvements in machinery
and new inventions, given quantity of
wood may be made to give more heat, but it
does not follow that 30 per cent may be adj
ded to the price of an article, and it cost
less to buy it, than without such addition.
1t is a very singular thing TO hear men
crying out for protection on one hand, and
declaring on the other that it lowers the
price Of goods. We were under the i'm
preston that protection meant what it pnr-
ports to mean, PRorEcrIoN and why a
man should clamor for system TO protect
him, which lowers the price of the article

No person else is in favor of a sound nation

In another portion of our papsr will be
found a statement of the death of the Nor

death; we cannot therefore express any
opinion as TO the guilt of those who shot

wrong somewhere, is evident enough from
the fact, that blood has been she'd
The original cause of the trouble was, we
believe, scism among themselves. The
party opposed to Smith, established press
in opposition, in the city of Nauvoo. This
press came out pretty hard on the prophet,
whilst he and other dignitarics of the city
got together and declared it nuisance, and
destroyed it. The proprietor of the press
appealed TO the county authorities for ASS
tance 10 arrest the depcdaiors. Warrants
were issue1 70. Joe and others: but the au-
tholities of ths city, by sort of mock law,
released them from arrest. The citizens OF
the county then declared that nothing could
be done without stronger aid, and deter
mined TO call on the Governor of the State
for help. Gov. Ford repaired to the spo,
with force of men, and since then VIC have
no accounts more authentic than in another
column relating the tragedy. This is most
probably not the end of the matter. Much
blood may be shed.

WHY MIR. CLAY SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED

urged why this result should not be brought

Is it the kid per Sc or the color of the kid.
which constitutes the reasoning? We should

MIMI OlNONu lf1AN IL ID NOW.."-GtO6e
PRooFs.-From the Portsmouth (va) Chron
icle and Old Dominion, Locofoco paper:
The hope of re-electing Martin Van Buren,
grows more and more feeble every day. There
is not candid friend of his here, who does moi
admit that the prospect Of success with him as
the nominee of the Convention, is exceedingly
doubtful. | conversed On Saturday with an ex.
member of Congress from Virginia, who is a Van
Buren, man, and supported him with his whole
soul in 1910. He has lately travelled extern
sively through the country, and he says that
wherever he has been, the rank and file of our
party declare that it is of no use to fight if Mr.
Van Buren, is again forced upon us; that we
shall be worse whipped next tall if we run him,
than we were in lS4O. This is the impression
among the people all over the country"
The Harrisburg Argus, another Locofoco pa
per, thus speaks:
"Was there ever such combination against
any candidate, as is now forming against Mr..
Van Buren, ? Without the slightest confidence
of success by any of his friends, his opponents
are flushed with the expectation of victory far
more commanding than that of ls4o."
"There is now no confidence in his election,
and without confidence, no party can succeed in
this country. Many of the leading and most in.
fuential men Of the Democratic party are break
ing ground against him, and whether right or
wrong, there exists prejudice against him
among the masses. He has lost the patronage
of the Government, which was of SO much SER
vice to him before. He was defeated for Sec
ond term, with his measures before the people,
and is now candidate for a third time. There
has been too much effort with the leading poll
ticians, by caucuses and early conventions to
push him upon the people before they are ready
to act, and this has more or less dispeased the
people. And let us inquire, where is the man
that voted against Mr.. Van Buren, before, that will
vote for him now We have been unable to
find him. What then are we to infer from these
positionsa Are we to destroy the Democratic
party for ever by rushing madly into this fearful
this appalling contest? Our first thought was
the same when it was proposed to run Mr.. Van
Buren,, that our second thought is now, when his
nomination is seemingly certain. But we have
never said word against Mr.. Van Buren,, per
sonally or politically. We were amongst his
earliest supporters, and have admired the man.
The success of the Democratic party, and the
permanency of Democratic principles with us,
are far above all personal considerations about
men"

MoRE THE Wings of White
marsh township, Montgomery county, Pa, are
worthy of all praise. The ,Norristown Herald
says, for years they contended against form-
dabe majority-a majority so great as to pre-
clude all hope Of overcoming it. In 1893, re-
duction of the majority took place, when Porter
had 1913 majority over Ritner. In 1910 it was
again reduced, Van Buren, having less than half
that majority. But this once boosted strong
hold of l4ocofocoism has been taken. After a
contest in which all the stratagems of our oppo-
nents were united with their most untirng ex-
ertions, the Wing Judge was elected on Friday
last by 81 majority in poll Of 305 votes =
