Poor PennSy Iyania n.

We CLEAN from the Pennsylvania pa
pers that new fraud is TO be practised
on the people Of that State by the Polk
party, to secure votes for loco foco Con.
gressmen and their suff'rages for Mr. Polk :
successor in 1913. They are endeavoring
to coar the manufacturers of that State
by the promise that the low duties in the
new British Tariff which so greatly af.
feet their interest, shall be repealed at the
next session Of Congress, if they, the
manufacturers, will "cultiUate a feeling''
against the Whigs!
The Pennsylvania says: 1--WE have
no doubt that if this feeling "a feeling OF
the manufacturers against the Whigs) Is
cuhiUated, that the new Congress will
promptly increase the duties" Here is
the fraud of 1.-THE same in all things,
save that it is even more impudent, base
and contemplate than ever. But mark
the manner of its introduction. The offer
is made 10 Pennsylvania, with condi.
ton; that condition is twas proposition
so shameless ever known in any age or
country !)-lhat the manufacturers should
oppose the Wing party. Here is the bid
of the Government; let it be circulated
throughout, every village in the State tina,
our citizens may determine whether they
will sell their convictions, their franchise
Of suffrage, their honor and their indie
pendence. at the price offered by The
Government. For the offer is made by
the Administration through its accredited
organ in this State, i, is distinct, unambig.
uous and authoritative. The rights of
State are UP at auctions; who'll buy? who'll
buy!
But this unparalleled and insulting offer
to the people of Pennsylvania; this at.
tempt to corrupt, purchase and degrade
them, is not without an effort also to in
timidate. If the gold is in one hand the
whip is in the other. Sell your principles
and rights, become ours for any and all
the purposes for which we may see fit to
use you, or we will forever prevent the
withdrawal Of the weight which we have
thrown upon, and which must. if not re.
moved, eventually grind you into the
dust. Such are the terms of sale, as de-
livered from the official stand, by the au-
thorized auctioneer Of the Government.
Such are the auspices under which the
fraud of IA is reintroduced to the people
OF Pennsylvania. Now let them "culti-
gate the feeling"

GOV. Clarke.S Return

The Governor with JESSE WILLIAMS
Esq, Secretary of the Territory, arrived
from the north on Sunday last. During
his absence the Governor, in accordance
with instructions from Washington, or
ganlzed a new company of Dragons
who have since been mustered into the
service by Capt HooE, who it will be re-
collected lost an arm in one of the battles
at Palo Alto or Resaca de la Palma. We
learn that these Dragons were much
needed near the Indian lines. Since the
u. S. Dragons left, the liquor dealers
have been selling whiskey TO the Indians
with perfect immunity. The consequence
has been that the Indians have been DRUM,
ever since, and many of them have been
sick. The instructions 10 the officers arc
very strict in prohibiting such a traffic for
the future, and although, owing to the
cupidity Of these white whiskey dealers,
it will be found to be difficult task, the
officers have pledged themselves to Go
their best in preventing the selling of any
whiskey TO the Indians.
The chief object the Governor had in
view in visiting Fort Atkinson was TO
see the Chiefs Of the Winnebagoes and
prevail upon them to send Delegation TO
Washington City to make new Treaty
with the Government in which thew will
agree to relinquish their title to the Neu
trail Ground. The Governor could not
obtain an interview with them, but Gen.
FLETCHER, the Agent for the Winneba.
goes, has sent out runners, and the pros
pect is that he will soon succeed in OBJ.
tanning Council and that they will be
willing TO send Delegation on to Wash.
lngton. If they do Gen. Fletcher will
accompany the Delegation, via the Lakes.
UP TO this time the Indians have been
unwilling TO dispose of the "Neutral
Ground" II is said 10 be the fairest DOR.
ton Of Iowa.
We learn that the volunteers from this
vicinity, at Fort Atkinson, enjoy very
good health; while the company at Fort
Crawford are very sickly, there being so

II he M orm O N 8.

We learn that the large body of Anti
Mormons, who have been encamped near
Carthage. Hancock county, Illinois, for
several days took up their line of march
for Nauvoo, on Monday last. Their OBJ.
Ject is to enforce the agreement entered
into last fall by which the Mormons
bound themselves to leave the State at a
given time. That time has long since
elapsed, but a large number yet remain.
Various unpleasant individual rencon,res
have already taken place, and what the
result of this simultaneous en,ree of Up.
wards Of one thousand, with abundance of
cannon and small arms, will be, we shall
probably learn before our paper goes TO
press.
The people of this par. of Iowa are
deeply interested in this matter. The
anti Mormons propose 10 drive the Nor.
mons from Nauvoo. Without attempting
to discuss the question Of their right 10 do
this, we would simply ask. where will
they drive them! Why, across the river
into Iowa! Hundreds are already TO be
found on The Half Breed Tract, and a
large number have found their way as
high up as Burlington. Now, if they
were worthy of protection, and did not
make it part Of their religious creed 70
view all who are not Mormons as Gen.
tiles. and to feel justified on that accoun,
in committing all sorts Of depreda,ions on
those who do not adhere TO their creed, il
would be different affair. As it is, we
think the people Of Illinois have no RICH,
10 crowd upon the people Of Iowa such
an undesirable class of population, and
we believe they will not submit to it.
We understand that the Mormons
threaten to burn Keokuk on account of
having some arms and ammunition that
passed through that town on their way 10
Nauvoo, taken from them and detained.
At last dates there was much excitement
at Keokuk-it was placed under martial
law-and large company had been rails
ed for its protection.

which belonged TO the United States and
was used by Lient. Lee on the Lower
Rapids, was sold to the Mormons for less
than one quarter Of its cost Two keels
and other boats, with their tackle were
also sold on the same terms, and we
thought all the machinery employed in
that laudabe enterprise was sacrificed in
the same way. But it seems that an old
anchor and few crow bars and some
other little nick hacks yet remain. and as
Uncle Sam is likely to become bankrupt,
il is proposed to sell what is left at public
