THE WAR AT AN END.

By the arrival OF the Boreas, this morn
ing, we learned that she passed Warsaw
late night before last. All was quiet, the
troops had been disbanded, and there
were no persons under arms. At Quincy
the excitement had suqsided, and no
signs of war nor military preparations
were to be seen. Gov. Ford was still
at that place. What he Mas doing no
one, it seems, could tell. Foster, one of
the publishers of the Exposition. was on a
visit to his Excellency. lie went to
Nauvoo two or three days since on
board the Monona, for the purpose of
seeing to some property which he is the
owner of. During his stay there he was
compelled to keep on board the boats, as
the most bitter threats of personal vio-
lence were made by the Mormons against
him They told in very plain terms
that on board the boat he was safe from
harm, but should he attempt TO set his
foot again upon the soil Of the Holy City,
that moment would be his last. tie re-
turned ON board the Monona for Quincy
for the purpose of obtaining an interview
with. the Governor, who, he SAID, had
Promised to assist him in settling his
business. at Nauvoo. His property is
said to have cost between ten anu fifteen
thousand dollars St. Louis New Era.

THOMAS w. DORR.

We learn that this notorious convict
is employed in the State Prision at Rhode
Island. wherein for fragrant and mani.
fold treason he has been sentenced 10
abide for life, in the painting of fans. 1t
is well known that he refuses 10 sign a
petition for his release, or TO take the
oath of allegiance TO the established and
rightful government Of the State. He
even caused the General Assembly TO be
Informed that the petition presented by
his father,-a gentleman whose unwaver-
ing integrity and manliness of dcport-
ment. through all the public troubles,
have been the theme of praise from one
end of the republic TO the other, and
have concii::s.ed the respectful sympathy
of every honest Rhode lslandcr,-was
presented without his knowledge and IN
opposition TO his desire. In justice TO the
States magnanimity, The fact should be
universally promulgated, that the gov
eminent has been throughout inclined
to mercy. and that this inclination has
beon thwarled by Dorr himself. lie re-
mains in prison, says the Providence
Journal, not the victim of oppression,
which be is represented TO be, and scarce

own unyielding obstinacy, which refuses

TEXAS AND DISUNION.

That there is clique of politicians at the
South who belong to the Loco-Foco party
engaged in connecting a reasonable project
ofdisunion, unless, they can contrive to prop up
southern slaveholding dominion BY The an
nexation of Texas, is borne upon every breeze
and palpable to every reading man in the na-
ton. In numerous meetings especially in
South Carolina, the confederates of Polk ana
Dallas who are to be made the instruments
to accomplish these infamous projects in
the ratification meetings, declare that the
issue of the presidential contest before
the whole South should be Teras orDts-
union. They have recommended southern
Convention for that purpose. The authen
ITCHY of the resolutions passed by the prompt
ings of these men strongly urging the villain
ous.disloyalty TO the union, and which we
published few weeks since cannot be denied.
And while the great Wing party both North
and South have expressed their warm and
indignant adherence Of the schemes of these
desperate conspirators, when and where have
we heard solitary lisp of reproof from the
Loco-Foco press. or orators and resolutions
of the party at the north. Why do they not
instantly and Indignantly repudiate the
proffered issue Of Texas and Disunion
and give their disloyal bretheren at the south
TO understand that it can never receive their
countenance and support. We can tell the
people of Vermont the reason. James X. Polk
is supported by the very men who advocate
Texas and Disuuion Those desperate men
who are necessarily pressing immediate
Annexation Il Disunion, contemplate Polk
Puss in boots, as the veriest and most subser-
Went tool who can be found in the whole In
to efiectuate either of the infamous alterna-
lives they have in view. Let the people mark
this silent acquiesence of northern Loco-Fo-
coism in the proceedings of their southern
allies, and especially their apparently enthu-
siastic support of the man whose elevation to
the Presidency is the foundation Of all hope
of success to the reasonable projects of the
southern Disunionists.

POLK'S ANTI-TARIFF LETTER.

From the following letter from Mr.. Polk
adapted to the meridian of Pennsylvania, the
Loco-Focos presses are endeavoring to make
the public believe that he has recently assum-
ed the grounds on the subject of protection to
which hitherto he has declared uncomprom-
Using hostility. This is charging vascilat-
ing course upon Mr.. Polk of which he is by
no means guilty. This letter certainly gives
not the least indication Of any more favor now
to protective tariff than when in April 1913,
las will be seen by an extract from his speech
to the people of Tennessee) he repudia,ed
a"Protectire Idrif,as a neu measure r,anous
to he country, ,chich he had steadily and al all
times opposed" He declares that he is in ia
vor of a tariff for revenue, such one as will
defray the expenses Of government economi-
cally administered. No sensible man in the
Union ever adopted any different sentiment
so far. But the mighty difference which ex-
lists between Wing and Loco statesmen is in
attempting to adjust the details Of a Revenue
Tariff. Here Silas Wright, Van Buren,,
Polk and Calhoun, and Mr.. Clay are as wide
as the poles from each other. In laying i'm
posts discrimination between articles can be
made. The former gentlemen all uniformly
declare that discrimination should be for
revenue merely, while Mr.. Clay insists that
discrimination should and can consistent with
raising revenue be made for the especial ad-
vantage of domestic industry, as for instance,
taking the wearing apparel of an individual,
and suppose you have the duty of $500 to
raise upon it. Is it of any consequence to
him whether you levy it exclusively upon
his coat and shirt, leaving the other articles
free! Ofcourse Mr.. Clay being an encour-
ager of domestlc industry would levy his duty

TnE LATE ISsuRREcrIoy-THE FIRST

detailing some Of the leading particulars OF

Ii is a fact that can be easily ascertained
that, Of the one hundred and sixty-ive brave
volunteers who we're on duty on that occa-
sion, Except the Hibeinia Greens) nearly
every man in all the different companies were
either members of the Native American par
~ or friends to their principles. The Nation
al Artillery, Cadwalader GTevs, and the Phil
ad.lphia Greys,-with two or three other ex-
ce2tions, are all Of that party. The Washing
ton Greys are entirely Natives, and one of
their bye-laws, adopted many years ago, de-
elaTes that no person but anativc-bon Amer
lean is eligible to membership. In the other
companies the feeling, that change in the
election laws is necessary. is nearly unani-
nous. The murdcrous attempts made on
these men at once STAMPS tie assertions as
false, and those engaged in Inc attempt to
overthrow the laws as enemies TO the Native
American party, enemies 10 the Constitution,
and laws ofthe United SAFES, and enemies
TO civil livil liberty.

BENNINGTON COUNTY
J. X. Kane. Esq. Philadelphia.

A Wing meeting was held few days since
at Arlington to nominate Senators. Twenty
five hundred good staunch Wings of the
mountains were present, many with their wives
and daughters. The latch strings were out.
Each man bringing supply of good things,
table was spread in the grove near by
the place of meeting by the ladies'.
Bands Of music from Bennington, Man.
chester and Washington County N. Y, were
present. Banners floated from a hundred
trees, while the roaring of the cannon awoke
among the throng the enthusiastic spirit oil

Culver of Washington CO., and Mr.. Wells
of Westminster county, N Y, Doct. Brunsou

LATEST FROM IHE MORNONS.

We have news from Nauvoo TO the 4th

though fears were still entertained of
farther violence. Gov. Ford had taken
the strongest measures TO preserve the
peace, and had written letter in which

Of hostility on the part of the Mormons
an extermInating force would be sent
against them. Ii is said that Joe Smith,

years old, Prophet in his place. The

that their city will be eventually aban-

from the State. The Mormon difficult
ties have already run the State of Him

capture and kill hm--and they threaten
loudly that one event shall quickly fol-

point to The fact that Mr. Clay. from the

changing and eloquent champion of the
Protective Policy, while Mr.. Polk, if his
own word is TO be credited, has at all
times steadily opposed that policy. But
we can furnish the Argus with a recent
and conclusive evidence on this point.
