WHAT THEY THINK OF 1T THEM
SELVES.

SELVES.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Joseph
H. Peyton ofTennessee, in his speech on
the floor of the House of Representatives
asserted that a distinguished locofoco mem
Der from New York, and the right hand man
ofMr. Van Buren,in the house, had declared
in his hearing, that "Mr. Polk could not get
the vote Off single electoral college, ex-
cept, perhaps, South Carolina, and that
would depend upon the caprice of Mr.. CAL
houn," &c. 1t seems that IS of the loco
members IRON New York, have taken this
statement in high dudgeon, and published a
card, in which they say, that so far as it re-
ferred to them it is %"utterly destitute of
truth" The following is the reply of Mr..
Peyton 10 thi s"Card," which it will be
borne in mind was not signed by MI. Rich
ard d. Davis, and three other l~ocofoco mem
bers from New York:
1t becomes necessary, in my own de-
fence, to make known the name of the mem
Der from New York TO whom | alluded in my
speech; otherwise | would not, even now,
give it to the public, Notwithstanding the
public here know his name already; and
| have no reason TO believe that he cares a
fig il it should be made known to the whole
world. 1t was Richard ID. Davis to whom
I alluded, between whom and myself there
never existed any confidential intercourse or
any confidential conversation.
The conversation between him and Mr..
Black took place in my presence in Gibbs
barber shop, which is under the same roof
with Gadsby's hotel, and one of the most
public places in the city of Washington
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Black were talking Of
the proceedings of the Baltimore Conven-
ton, and of the nomination of Mr.. Polk
The conversation was a very animated one,
and MOTH that spirit of harmony which US.
ually characterizes the interchange Of opin-
ion between two brothers of the same politi.
cal church.
AT that public place, and in tone OF
voice loud enough TO be heard by every one
in that large room, Mr.. Davis, one of the
most able 81 influential Democratic member.
from the Stale ofNew York, declared .stha
the Democratic nomination at Baltimor,
ought to meet pith no respect from the coun
try, and that James K. Polk could not ge
one electoral college, unless 1t was that O
South Carolina and that woud depend up
on the caprice off. C. Calhoun.
Mr.. Peyton adds, "Mr. Black is demo
: crat, and in daily intercourse with the gen
tleman; and, whenI made my statement Q
the conversation between him and Mr.. Dav
is, he walked across the Hall TO where | wa
speaking, and asked ne to repeat what | hal
said in relation to the conversation between
: MIN and Mr.. Davis, which ] did in the hear
: ing of the House; upon svhich Mr.. Btac.
boped assent and returned to his seat, an
/, I continued my speech" For making thi
= honest and truthful admission the N. Yor
Plebian, formally reads Mr.. Davis out of tn
party.

DEATH OF JOE SMITH n HIS BRorHr

DEATH OF JOE SMITH AND HIS BROTHER.
By the St. Louis papers Of the Both ult,
we have the most shocking intelligence
from the scene of Mormon difficulties.
Joe and Hiram Smith and probably others
were killed on the Goth, whila in Jail at Car
thage, and it is feared that this is only the
beginning of a war of exlermination with this
deluded people, which have been for some
time threatened,
The circumstances from what we can
gether from the different papers, seem to be
these,
Gov. Ford had despatched a constable to
Nauvoo,to arrest Smith and the other persons
engaged in the destruction of the Printing
Press. And before the return of the con-
stable, who was delayed by Smiths desire
to have a sufficient escort to protect him
from violence, Capt. Dunn, with a troop Of
soldiers was ordered to Nauvoo to demand
the artillery and public arms there. "On
the prairie, four miles on the wayto Nauvoo
Capt. Dunn met Smith and others, coming
out to Carthage. The order for the arms
was endorsed by Smith, who returned tc
Nauvoo to deliver up the arm as request
ed.n
This we learn from a despatch of Gov,
Ford's. Smith having given up the arm.
accompanied Captain Dunn 10 Carthage
where he, his brother and others deliv
cred themselves up 10 Governor Ford
upon the assurance of the Governor tina
their lives should be protected by the
State Troops. They were then coufnec
in the Carthage Jail, which was strongly
guarded by soldiers and anti-Mormons.

ensued:

IMPRIsoNMENToF o'CoNNELL.

The long protracted, and all but intermin-
able proceedings arising out of the Irish
trials, says the European Times, have at
length been brought TO a close by the i'm
prisonment of O'Connoll and the other trav-
versers. a
SENTENCE OF THE TRAVERSERS.
Daniel O'Connell, to be imprisoned for
twelve calandar months; 10 pay a fine OF
$4,000. and to enter into securities TO keep
the peace for several years-himself in

John O'Connell, John Gray, T. Steele, R.
Barrett, C. G. Duffy and T. M. Ray. to be
imprisoned for nine calandar months; to pay
a fine of ESQ, and enter into securities TO
keep the peace for seven years-rhemselves
respectively in G1000, and two rurities OF
$4,000 each.
Mr.. O'Connel and the rest of the traver
sers had gone peaceably to prison in the
Dublin Penetentiary. They are to be al
lowed TO occupy the Governors house, and
will doubtless live like Lords. Mr.. O'Con-
mel had published an address to the people
of Ireland, b~eseeching, nay! commanding
them to keep the p%eace--and telling then

"WHAT's IN A NAME."-A Biographer of
James K. Polk in the Nashville Union says
that his hero is descended from the PotIucks
of Ireland 1--WE wonder from what noble
family the Snookses trace their pedlgrecD
and that this ugly name, by some mutation,
became the uglier one,Polk. Now, as truly
remarked by the Louisville Journal this
change i~sitself suspicious. Honest men do
not seek TO hide themselves under a change
of name. But this is not the only "muta-
tom that has taken place in his family cog
nomen. AThe Pollucks of Ireland" as every
body knows, were originally called Poorluck
from the political misfortunes with which
they were overwhelmed in the early history
of their country-this gradually became
'Polluck'' and eventually Polk! but the
"Iuck'' tho sank in the name, could not be
got rid of in fact. 1t sticks to them still

the fate of their "illustrious" descendan

DISTINGUISHED PATRIoTIsM.-The Eai-
tor of the Jonesboro' (Tenn) Wing, writing
from Washington, makes the following state
ment, accounting for.the zeal displayed by
Mssrs. Richie s. Co. for the annexation of
Texas 70 the United States:
"Persons at a distance may be at a lossto
know why it is, that the Richmond Enquirer
is so devoted TO the cause Of Texas as CLOSE
sight of everything else, in the advocacy OF
that single measure. ] will give the reasons
in a word. Old Tom Richie owns about
FIVE thousand dollars worth of land in Tex
as. His son, William Richie, has a debt of
| thirteen thousand dollars due him for loanad
money from the Government of Texas, and
which be has the right TO take in land at so
cents per acre. Last of all Tom Green, the
son-in-law Of old Richie, who has ayailed
himself of the benefit of the Bankrupt Law
in America, owps an estate of two hundred
thousand dollars in Texas! Now under
these circumstances, almost any n would
be for annexation, and Trenton these facts
that Richie & Co., may not have credit a.
broad for more patriotism than they are en-
titled TO, in their zeal for annexation"
