DoTNes OF THE MOB IN NAUvoo.-If the accounts
from this unfortunate city be true-and they from
anti-Mormons-the existing state of things is to be
deprecated by every citizen. Many of those who par
tcipated in the dongs about Nauvoo, are censuring
in strong terms the conduct of that portion Of the mob
who remained in the city of Nauvoo The driving
off the citizens and refusing to suffer them to
return-the ducking in the river of whom they please
the breaking open of houses and ransacking them
the searching of inhabited houses, &c., &C., say
nothing of the report of robberies, has completely
cured some of their strong sympathes for the mob
ocrats.

The HORNS.-Perhaps you might think we intend
giving you some new tdur pas, judging from our
caption. Or you may suppose, (wlIo knows?) but
somebody has been hooked or the like of that There
you are wrong again; but we verify believe, :. in a
horn,' that HORNS hooked their goods, judging from
the quantity they have on hand and the low prices at
which they selling them. People cast queer looks
as they pass the big s, and wonder! Curiosity in
duces them to enter, and ten to they purchase.
1t will be we'll for our friends to give them call to
say the least. They viii be kindly waited on, and
we doubt not will buy. See advertisements.

CAUSES OF FAILURE IN BUsINESs.-An excellent
writer in Hunts Magazine enunerates the following
causes of failure among business men -isH
L. The leading cause is an ambition to be rich
by grasping too much it defeats itself.
2. Another cause is aversion to labor.
3. The third cause is an impatient desire to enjoy
the luxures of life before the right to them has been
acquired in any way.
4. Another cause arises from the want Of some
deeper principle for Distinguishing between right and
wrong than reference merely to what is established
honorable in the society in which one happens to
live

JEWISH FREEmAsoNs.-The Grand Lodge Of the
Freemasons of England has unanimously decided
upon closing all connexon with the Prussian masons
and the respective representatives have been with

The METHODIST CONFERENCE, vs. SECRET AssocIA-
TIoNs.-At the Conference for Northern Indiana of
last year, a Resolution was moved by the Rev. Mr..
Cooper member of that respectable and influential
body recommending the Ministers in their church not
to connect themselves with such organizations as Odd
Fellows, Sons of Temperance, &c. We are happy
to notice in some of our exchange papers, that the
same gentleman who moved this resolution, arose in
his place the commencement of the Conference
which has Just closed and moved that il be reScinded

This step we deem important in several respects.
II shows that this large and intelligent body of Minis
tiers not disposed in any way to prohibit their
members from lending their aid and influence to any
organization which brings blessings to mankind and
tends to the cultivation of Virtue and Morality. 1t
is important, we think to that cherished and beneyo-
lent organization, the Sons of Temperance, for we
know that there many pious intellectual and de-
voted Minlsters-men welding almost unlimited
influence in society, whose hearts were with US, and
who give hearty sAmen to all our efforts to Danish
the monster Intemperance from among US, yet they
felt themselves restrained and ettered by the action
of Conference. Those restraints being removed we
shall expect to those Ministers, whose hearts are
with u.s. come to the with their friends, their
influence and their moral worth; swelling the num-
bers of Brotherhood, and rendering its moral
power invincible.- Wayne County Record.

THE SANTA FE ExpEDrrrov-T Federal-Tory-
British Mexican Wing editors grooming terribly
because Gen. Kearney has made so many of their
Mexican friends take oath of allegiance to the Co
vernment of the United States. On this subject the
Union observes:
1.-The expedition under Gen. Kearney to Mexico
has been eminently successful. The gratifying in
telligence that this important movement has been
crowned with success, without bloodshcd seems to
have been received by the country with delight; but
by the National lntelligencer of this morning with
any other than American patriotic feeling. What
Gen. Kearneys instructions are we do not know. Ii
is not TO be expected tina. such orders should reach
the public enemy by publication here, pending the
military operations. We presume that he mas exer-
cised no right which does not belong to bellgerents
Gen. Kearney's successful occupation of the enemys
country, not only justified, but required that the
Mexican government should be superseded. The con-
tnued discharge of these functions by Mexican autho-
rites, unfriendy to the United States, under such
circumstances would be something new in the prose-
cution of The provisional government substi-
tued is necessarily temporary, limited to the military
occupation of the country and the destination Of the
country itself dependent the ultimate settlement
be consummated by treaty of peace, to be duly rati
fed by the constitutional authority Of this country.
The infusion of democratic principles in the selection
of the agents to administer this provisional govern
ment, is wisely adopted, but seems to be very dis
tasteful to the friends of Mexico" r rl-i.
We suspect that the chief cause of the grief and
indignation of the wing editors is the fact that. in
the short space of fifty days an army has been
marched nearly 900 miles, desert country, and
has conquered province of 300,OO0 souls, without
firing gun. This is little like the recommends
tons Of their ayorite General Scott who proposed to
begin offensive movements sometime in September OF
October, that they determined to believe it alto
gether wrong in every respect Besides, it so
natural to the Federal Wings to take sides with the
public enemy and against their country!

A DEDICATION ODE.
BYP. O. SAMUEL D. PATTERSON.
No narrow bounds confine zeal
Our hearts no fettered limits see
But the sweet influence feel,
Is universal, bosndlcss, free.
On FRIENpsHiP's base securely stands
Our order-and where e'er is found
Suffering or sorrow, there our hands
Pour forth the balm TO heal the wound.
LOVE holds the lamp to guide our feet
On mercy's mission, and its ray
Iumines every dark retreat,
And cheers hfe's rugged, toilsome way.
TRUTH points the weapons Of our war
'Ganst vice, whate'er the guise she wears,
And still, unscath'd by blight or scar,
The laurel wreath Of victory bears,
V.
Hail FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, and TRUTH The ties
Which bind our willing hearts in one,
Thine is the spirit that we prize,
And thine the powerwe Joy 10 own.
