THE MORMON WAR.

The Galena Gazette, of the l7ib. gives
the following:
A civil war RACES in Hancock county -
The feelings of both parties are wrought
up 10 state Of perfect desperation. Blood
and vengeance are the watchwords.
At the battle on Saturday, it had been
ascertained that about 80 were killed. OF
the Mormon party, three men and boy,
and 26 anti Mormons
The anti Mormons were rallyipg from all
quarters, threatening the determination OF
their enemies and destruction of Nauvoo.
Their disaster seemed only to have en-
ragged them the more. Their plans, how
ever, were not generally known.
Most Of the troops called out by the
state authorities TO preserve the public

The Nauvoo party were prepared for
The worst. The city had been placed under
the most rigorous martial law. Just As
soon as man lands there, he is presented
with musket; aud he must fight for Them
or retire.
Some reinforcements were coming in
TO Nauvoo, as was understood The Nor
mon force, we may so call it, is said to be
about one thousand men, who seem fully
deter mined to defend themselves at every
hazard Of life. Last Monday, it was their
intention to march in body and attack The
anli-mormon camp.
All the women and children had been
sent out of Nauvoo, and were encamped on
the bank Of the river, on the Iowa side,
and all were in state Of the most depora-
BILE suffering. Many of them were sick,
most of them had nothing but sheet or
blanket stuck up to defend them from the
sun or ran, and all were nearly destitute
Of food, subsstng on the charity of steam
boats and of those whose hearts are not
entirely closed against them. And, as an
other revolving feature, public meeting
mad been called at Mount rose, for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of expel-
ling them from the Iowa side of the river.
On Saturday, however, the Bon Accord was
chartered 10 60 to Burlglon for provisions
for the destitute creatures.

Mr.. EDIToR:-After the several demo-

there will hardly be wings enough in the
Convention TO excite an animated discus

with regard TO those constitutional provis-
ions which it may be most expedient to
adopt. in order to secure the people Of our
STATE "life, liberty. and the pursuit of
happiness" in the mos: expanded sense
contemplated by Mr.. Jefferson in his inn
mortal Declaration Of independence.
The Convention is 10 assemble at Madi-
son on Monday the 4h day Of October
proximo; and will doubtless continue du-
ring that and the succeeding month, which
will give them session Of 81 days: With
the constitutions Of twenty States of our

of the vast Developments in political sci
ence Of the present day staring them in

be ample time for discussion, and for the
digestion and compilation of one of the
best forms Of government in the universe.

deliberation ; and would even suggest, that,
should there not be strong enough infu,
sion Of whiggery in the Convention to ex-
cite discussion, questions be purposeIy
mooted with that view, in order that a
searching investigation of principles may
be had. But two months is ample lime for
all these purposes. Moreover, it would be
bad policy as well as bad taste, for the
