Glorisns triumph in Connecticut Later news.

Later news enables us to inform our
readers that the Wings, anti-Texas men Of
Connecticut, have been defeated-ouer-
throrn, routed, logged. The majority in
the State against the wings is over 1900,
and their average loss from last year, over
twenty five hundred. The democrats have
majority in the Senate, have elected SO
to the House and the wings rs. There
are 43 members yet to be elected, so that
the success Of the democrats is certain.
There being no choice of Governor and
other State officers, the election will be
made by the Legislature, consequently the
machinery of State viii fall into our hands.
The democrats have done this alone; against
coons, abolitionists, anti-Te men; and
not by alliance with these, as did the wings
in New Hampshire. The democrats fight
aboveboard. consequently their victories
are brilliant and honorable.

By the following note from Major War;
rem, it will be seen that the Standing armv
Of Illinois, standing as partition between
the Saints and Sinners Of Hancock, is to be
disbanded on the first Of May next BY or
der Of the Governor Of Illinois; and that
hereafter, each man must rely on his good
conduct and his steel for protection. Now,
if the Mormons are as bad as the other cit
liens Of Hancock say they are, if they dis
regard law, let them take its substitute
force. On the other hand if we were as
good as the Mormons say they are, we
would resist such oppression. Any how,
we will risk these Sinners Of Illinois ia
look out for No. one. If they have made a
contract, heretofore, with these Mormons,
we would recommend that that contract be
Immediately enforced:

WIN You permit me through the medium
Of your paper to announce to the citizens
Of Hancock, that l have been directed bv
His Excellency, Governor Ford. to dis
band the force under my command, on the

1t seems to be the understanding Of the
Executive and the State at large, that the
term stipulated for the removal of the Nor.
morns will expire on that day, and / in
dnlge hope that an understanding SO gem
eral may not be disappointed.
The removal Of the entire N rnson popu-

event that could alone restore peace and

The Chinese,s opinion OF grasping
England.

The following is an extract taken from
a Chinese work by Pc. Tshung Ling, a Chi
nese. 1t is true to the letter, when taken
as an illustration Of the grasping, cheating
policy of that nation:
The MAGlc CARpEr-T Translated from,
HE Chinese.
Once upon time, the red haired peo-
pie (the English still bear that nickname
among the Chinese,) were permitted 10
carry on trade with the Central Nation. y
But the Admiral who commanded on the
frontier, seeing them come in great num-
bers refused to permit them TO land. The
red-haired men begged entreated to give
them only so much land as carpet wos,ld
cover, and they would rest satisfied. The
Admiral. thinking that carpets length
was not great, finally consented. These
men Immediately brought their carpet a
shore-sufiicient at first, TO accommodate
only two men; then, stretching it little,
made it accommodate four or five men: then,
pulling it still more, the carpet, in short
time became as large as an acre, and &C
several hundred PERSONS
But, not yet satisfied with this, they drew
their knives, and cutting the carpet into
strips, stretched them out 70 unimaeinabIe
legth, and possessed themselves Of many
miles Of territory.

THE ELECTI0N.

in the results in the more distant counties
to forward the vote. The Hawkeye is mis-
taken as to Jefferson. Indeed, he express
sed fears that the news was too good, that
one wing was..elected. What . taste he
must have to call such news good! The
vote in Jefferson stood for Coop, D. 4O3;
Ross, D. 300; Park, w. 3lS; Wormsley,

So. The meeting Of the Convention is
close at hand, the constitution will soon be
formed, and the issue made. We shall
have constitution substantially like the
old one, with such additions and amend
ments ~ will keep pace with the age
And here let us say, let us have such q
provision in it as Louisiana has in hers, to
have all statute laws, when it shall become
necessary to add too, alter or amend, re-
enacted as a whole-that is, when any
chapter is to be amended, re-enact that
whole chapter with the necessary altera-
tons, and repeal the whole Of the old one.

In speaking of the passage Of the indie

the editor Of the Hawke in Thursday

"LOUIS GORZKOWSKI."



We copy the following from the pro-
ceedings Of the House Of Representatives
of March 9th:
BOUNDARIES OF IOWA
Mr.. DoueLAss. from the Committee on
Territories, 10 which was referred the bill
to define the boundaries Of the State Of
Iowa, and to repeal so much of the act of
the Sd Of March, 1916, as relates to the
boundaries Of Iowa, reported an amendato-
~ bill; ordered that the said bill he COM
mitted.
TERRITORIAL BUSINESS.
Mr.. DOUGLASS, from the same commit

Resolved, That the 2tth 2lst, and 22d

sideration Of business relating to the Ter
ritories of Iowa and Wisconsin,.

Tariff-Its Operations.

The Hawkeye Of this week pretends
that woollen and cotton goods are furnished
cheaper now, than in l84l, and argues
that the Tariff is the cause Of it. Now we
wish TO raise point here.
Previous 10 the passage Of the present
tariff, the wing manufacturers pretended
they could not live without protection.
Why? Because. said they, we cannot
make any profit, We cannot compete with
foreign labor; we must get more for what
we make OF, we cannot live. Where was
the difficultyf They could not afford to
sell % cheap.
Now they are in the prime Of life, get
ting rich! This is certainly strange. Get
ting rich now, all other things being equal,
and yet selling for hess price than they
were getting while growing poor.
Suppose man makes wagons for liv-
ing, at $75, piece, where as he used to
have 500. Foreign importation has Fore
ed him to sell at $75, but he cannot live by
it, because every wagon costs him more
money than he gets, and he looscs $40, on
every wagon he sells. Now exclude for
eign wagons, and the man goes to work at
the came expense, and can sell these same
wagons at $50 and get rich! Whereas he
lost $40, on every wagon, when he sold at
$75, now he can make the same wagons,
at the same cost, and sell them at $50 and
make living profit! This theory, there
fore, is perfectly ridiculous!
A. has family, and has to consume .
certain amount Of articles to support them.
He cannot get but fifty cents per day fol
his'~ork, and G1ds he cannot meet his ex.
snses. He now sells his work for fifty
cents day; he cannot live BY it. A Tar.
ID Is passed. and he can buy the same ar.
tieles that he did before, and at the same
Price, and meet his expenses, while he
sells his work for twenty-five cents pei
day! In q word, if high tariff make.
goods low. all we would have to do, would
betokeep raising, and, BY and by, we should
get them for nothing. But it is perfect,
nonsensical to say that a manufacturer can
not make better profits when he sells his
cloth at fifteen cents yard, than when he
sells At ten cents. And if they get fif,eer
before the tariff, and get but ten now, how
happens it that high tariff is better 70,
them than low one? This argument, Il
will be seen, is too strong--when carriee
out it kicks over the very superstructure
intended to be set up BY It.

ETANZAS.

by MRS. J. A. BEyERIDGE.
The clouds, the clouds! how grand they are
When sudden tempests come,
Like mountains piled on mountains high,
They frown in deepening gloom.
The lightning cleaves their battlements.
The thunder rolls afar.
And rushing winds are trumpeting
The elemental war.
The clouds, the clouds how bright they are
At summer evenings close.
When tinged by the departing sun
With purple, gold and rose.
We gaze upon their glorious hues.
Till Heaven seems painted there.
And fancy hears the angels song
Come floating on the air.
The heart, the heart!--the human heart,
How like to these ii seems
The storm cloud and the lightning's flash
Are PASSIONS wild extremes AVS.
And he who follows where they lead.
The dark and downward path,
Will meet with Gercer conflicts
Than the tempest in its wrath.
But, as the rosy evening cloud
That heralds in the night, .....
CLOVIS with its richest lustre
In the SUMS receding light,
So shall the glorious star Of Faith.
When life's short day is past.
Beam on the Christians parting soul.
Her brightest hour THE last.

CROMWELL, written in 1850, nearly two hun
bred years ago. 1t is addressed 10 the Com

reference to medal to be presented for gallan,,

preserved, and the writing is remarkable for IFS
round and legi5le style, characterized by the
odd spelling and authorizations which are OBJ

by those who are fond of making collections of
this kind--Phl Ledg.
