Mr.. Editor-l have just received commuu;esl
ton from Committee Of gentlemen s'appointsd
by the Wings Of Mt. Scion and vicinity, TO invite
nie TO appear at Mt. Scion on Saturday next, 70
address Wing meeting called for the purpose Of
forming Clay Club" The Committee amer
kindly urging my acceptance of the cali, conclude
by saying: "Should it however be impossible, be
so good as to send us some one else. and Let a.
know what we may depend upon, through the
columns of the next Spectator"
regret very much that an Indispensable on
gagement will prevent my compliance with this
request. AS a Trustee and Commissioners or Su.
perior Court, have advertised sale Of lands In
the upper end of the county, to take place on he
very day Of the proposed meeting.
| have done what could in the few hours ius
tervenng between the receipt Of the letter and
the putting your paper TO press, to carry out the
other request of the Committee. l have spo.
ken to several gentlemen, and whilst no one has
made positive promise, think ] may safely
say an address will probably be made.
Having pen In hand avail myself of the occa.
sion to say that i have heard Of similar ap.
pointment having been made Tor me to address
the people at another precinct on the same day.
Sincerely grateful for these manifestations Of their
confidence, in both instances, i can only express
the hope that at some future day, during the cam.
pagn, may have the pleasure to meet and ad.
dress :hem on the absorbing topics that now en-.
gage the popular mind.
Very respectfully,

THE MORMONS.

We have verbal intelligence from Nauvoo few
hours later than that we published yesterday
Some OF the Mormons from Carthage had reached
Nauvoo, bearing with them the dead bodies of
JOE SMITH and HIRAM SMITH,
The Mormon story as to the manner and circum-
stances under which their leader met with his
death is somewhat different from the one we pub
lished from the Quincy Herald. They say that
there was no attept 10 the prisoners; that,
all the guard bu: ten or dozen having been dis
missed, from fifty TO hundred men, in disguise,
suddenly rushed on the Jail; that the guard fired
on them and wounded three of them; that the men
in disguise fired into the Jail and killed Hiram
Smith before the door opened. Joe Smith had
revolving pistol, and fired 1.-two or three times
without effect, but himself soon killed by the
assalants Richards, his secretary.was not injured
After the assault, the disguised mob reireated, and
1t was not even known who they were.
The Mormons at Nauvoo were much exaspera-
ted, but expressed determination to keep the
peace, and not resort TO arms except in sef-de-
fence.-.Nat. Int.

THE FARMER.

He is public benefactor who, by the skilful
and prudent outlay Of his time and money, shall
make single field yield permanently double
crop; and he that does this over a square mile,
virtually adds square mile TO the national terri
tory; nay, he does more; he doubles this extent
the territorial resources of the country, without
giving the state any larger territory TO defend.-
All hail, the improvers of the soil Health and
long life to their fortunes-may their hearts be-
light and their purses heavy-may their dreams
be few and pleasant, and their sleep the sweet
repose of the weary! May they the fruits Of
their own labor, and may their still hea-
vier haryests .-BlatkwOod's Magazine.

MR.. poLK,s LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

letter from Mr.. Polk accepting the nomination
Of the Locofoco Convention. The letter was
addressed 70 the committee who were APP
pointed to advise him OF his nomination. 1t
will be seen that he studiously avoids all re-
ference to the tariff and other smportant ques-
tions-is even silent about Texas-but he
finds room to put in pledge that he will not,
II elected, be candidate for second term.
A useless pledge:

LOUISIANA ELECTIONS.
THE FIRST CUMMING VICTORY


The Wings sustained themselves nobIy in the
recent State elections in Louisiana, and have
scattered the winds the idle fears of their friends
in regard to them. We have not yet received the
full returns from the State, but enough is known
10 warrant us In saying that they have elected a
majority of the Legislature-a majority of the
members Of the State Convention 10 amend the
Constiution-and two of the four members of
Congress. The delegation in the present Con-
gress is entirely oco.-The Wings had cand-
dates in only two Of the DISTRICTS in both Of which
it appears they have succeeded. This is indeed
glorious 1t shows that We have nothing to fear
from the Texas question even in that State, where
there is great an amount of private interest to
operate. Louisiana may be regarded GER
tain for Clay.
An attempt was made in New Orleans to force
the reception of the Elliott votes, but it was re.
sisted and prevented by the Wing inspectors.
In one Of the wards, the Loco inspector retired
from his post because his Wing associate would
not allow such votes; and in another, Loco in
spector prevented any votes being taken because
the Wing inspector would not agree to receive them
the objection Of either of the two inspectors
vote under the law. We observe that the Rich
mond Enquirer highly appiauds this disgraceful
conduct on the part of the Locos. This is rather
more than we expected of it, or its friends
especially after the efforts they made TO induce
the belief, at the time his stupendous vil!ainy
discovered, that Judge Elliott was Wing, and
that the votes manufactured were Wing votes
The people, we hope, will remember these things.

favorable account of the state of religion in
America. His report was listened 10 with in-
terest, and he was himself most warmly well
coined back to his own country.

MANUFACTURES OF THE BLIND.

The Wheeling Gazette thus notices some
Of the manufactures Of the pupils Of the insli-
tuition for the Blind in this place, which have
found their way 10 that city.
We were yesterday shown some specimens
of the ingenuity aud skill of blind boy, the
son of widow lady of our city, which
would reflect credit upon the mos, dstin-
guished mechanic in the country The art-
cles referred to were Hair ard Clothes Brush
es, of the most approved style of workman
ship, and finished i'll manner we have rarely
seen equalled. The youth by whom they
were made is pupil in the g Virginia Insti-
tuition for the Blind, at Staunton.n The
brushes we saw, with other brushes of differ
ent kinds, were sent on here for sale by the
ingenious blind lad who manufactured them,
to his brother, VIM NJ. NIcHoL, Saldler, on
Main street, who will exhibit them to the Gu
rious and benevolent among our citizens who
may feel disposed 10 patronize the enterprise
and industry of one whose painful afflcton
is calculated to awaken feelings of deep COM
misera:on in every benevolent heart.

One Of the best mechanics and most respectable
men in Louisville, n.y., says the Washington
Standard, who abandoned the LocGfoco party af-
ter the nomination of Polk, was tainted the other
day by some of his old Locoioco brethern as hav-
ing changed his coat. You may call it changing
my coat said he, but if such an enemy of Amer-
can interests as James X. Polk were elected Pre-
sident, l might soon have no coat to change
