New York press as about the diriiest piece Of
small knavcry in party politics on record. Writ
ten MS these letters generally were, in the hea, of
political excitement, and with all the freedom
of private correspondence, they are said, however,
to contain little Of which an honorable man has
occasion to be ashamed or that is calculaied in a

dead. The bodies were taken from the
public bu'ylng ground, conveyed to Black
Rock, and secreled in an old building,
from which they intended to ship them,

College, of Ohio. Smith, it seems, was

proper officers. The bodies found in the
building were packed in barrels ready for
export, and were all recognized by the
sexton. Kellogg stated upon examna-
ton that Smith told him six bodies had

surrounding counties, before sending on lher for

OF these d legations the Mormons replied by sub
hitting proposition in writing 10 the effect that
they will leave the county, if allowed pcaceabiy
to remain until spring to sell their property and
settle up their affairs. A convention of the diff.
