FROM THE MOUNTAINS.

The Steamboat Frolic, which we report
ed in our last, on the authority of the ST.
Joseph Gazette, to be high and dry for the
season, passed down the river on Monday.
She is the Fur Company's boat which went
from St. Louis last July, and wintered at
Fort Union, on the Yellow Stone, at the
foot of The Rocky Mountains, some ten
days journey from Taos.
The Frolic started down on the l Ith inst.
with a three feet rise of water, but had to
depositc her load 1000 bales of Buffalo
robes, at Fort George. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty Mackinaw boats are behind to bring it
down. One of the company, a German
by the name Of Wolff, was killed by the
Sioux. The traders report the winter the
mldest ever known--they went all the
winter in their shirt seeves-the snow was
only three inches deep and lasted only ff-
teen days Game is becoming scarce, and
competition plenty.

THE JUDICIARY.

AT a meeting of the democracy Of Coo.

instant, the following resolutions were
adopted. There appears to be great d.
yersity Of opinion on the subject of the
Judiciary, but we are glad to see that it i.
not, as yet, assuming party character
But we may here remark, that ii seems
little strange for those who profess to be
JeGerSonian Democrats to distrust the
source of all power-the people. 1t la:
ever been the cry of the democratic party
against the wings that they doubted the
capacity of the people to manage their
own affairs, and we must confess we were
no little astonshed when we read of the
democracy of Cooper assembling together
and publicly publishing to the world, that
they believed the people incompetent to Sc.
lect their own olficersl The resolutions
are as follows, and the only ones passed by
the meeting involving any principle-the
great object for which the Convention was
called, the Equalization of Representation,
not having been mentioned:
ReSOlced, That we are opposed to the cleo.
ton OF our Supreme and Circuit Judges by the
people.
ResolUed, That we are in favor of so amend
ing our State Constitution that the Judges OF our
Circuit and Supreme Courts may be hereafter
elected in Joint meeting OF the two houses Of the
General Assembly-tho circuit Judges for a term
not exceeding eight years, and the judges Of the
Supreme Court for a term not exceeding twelve
years.

DPThe democrat" is like the "lrish-

on it. 1t moves from one subterfuge TO

of sticking TO the points at issue, and de-

it was guilty of the low trick of separating
those acts from the charges, and giving the
latter to its readers thus mangled, thereby
creating the impression that we were pre-
ferring charges without proof to sustain
them. We will save it the trouble of cal.

LOCoTOCO LEGISLATION.


For the last twenty five years The sell
STYLED democratic party have had undmln-
ished sway in the State of Missouri. in
all this time no other demand has been
been made upon the State Treasury except
for the ordinary expenses of Government:
Not like other States, she has not engaged
in any measure having for its object the
advancement of her people. She has not
engaged in single work of internal inn
provement, or any measure Of expense, for
the development of the resources OF the
State, or TO improve The intercommunlca-
ton Of her citizens, by improving her
highways and the opening of facilities for
carrying off the produce Of the country.
And during all this time the people OF
Missouri have been paying heavy tax,
quite as high as the people of many Of the
States, and considerable higher than is paid
by the people of other States These are
indisputable facts. We'll, Notwithstanding
all this, the State of Missouri is now so
largely involved in debt that she is required
to pay the enormous sum of SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS interest
annually; and every year several thousands
of dollars is added TO the debt. Let the
tax. payers, who have to pay this interest,
think Of this: The people of Missouri,
owing to the beauties of locofoco legisla.
ton, are yearly taxed, over and above the
amount necessary for the ordinary expen-
ses of the government in the sum of
$4,000 to pay the interest on the State
debt! And notwithstanding the high rate

least How long will the people let ty.
rannical set of dishonest demagogue and
office seekers rule them with rods of iron,
squander their hard earnings, merely for
the purpose of keeping up party and party
distinctions! And now at this time, some
of those very scamps who have been in-
srumental in loading this heavy debt upon
the people, are endeavoring to create the
impression in the public mind that it would
be dangerous if Wing influence should DO
felt in the Convention to revise the Consti.
tuition! After having tyrannized over tho
people for years, squandered the public
money in the pay of brawling politicians.
and in sustaining the party, they now
come hypocritically before the people and
tell them to beware of Wing influence in
thes Convention! Every attempt TO revive
party spirit and SOW discord among the
people, in the selection of delegates to the
convention, should ibe denounced by every
one who has the good Of their country at
