promoting the cause the people. This we believe
was not until the winter sf'As.'47. His co-opers-
tion with the Wings Was Of much consequence at
that time. During this whole period he had no 9TH
or means to depend upon but his salary Editor
and Clerk. We think we have therefore shown the
falsity Of the statement above quoted.
The article in the Reporter abounds in falsehoods
of still grosser character. The oldStory Of aHog
driving'' is revamped and charged upon Col. WAR
rem, when we know that that business was concoc-
ted BY was,morc to crafty his wnjoking propen-
stiles, than any thing else He sent of nine or ten
loco focos into another county to seek for hogs in
the summer. They should have known better than
to have gone. Their votes would have made no
difference however, the wings carried the county
that season BY majority Of i24.
But the next falsehood we publish entire for the
purpose of better refutins it, and because similar
charge has been made in other quarters. Says tue

march, vi ct arms to vote the whig ticket at de-
fenceless election precincts on our western from

tic, having in his pockets commission from their
then absent High Priest, telling the poor deluded
Mormons that, the absence of their spiritual adj
wiser, ahe fWarrenl would tell them how and where
to act'' in the matter OF the election."
The whole story about this Mormon business,
which the locos have made such noise about, simply
to turn it to the advantage Of their party, amounts
to this. While Col. Warren was fulfilling his duty
clerk in the early part of last year, he waited
on by Mr. Pickett, who had always been de mocrat,
and informed him that the Mormons had hitherto
they had been treated so shamefully by that party
both Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, that theyhad made
up their minds leave the democrats to Themselves
and attach themselves to the wings. They thought
they could not be worse treated than they had been
and they hoped that change might be for their BEN
sft. They not wish to this openly then, be-
cause the democrats had the power in lows, and be-
fore they did it, they anxious to secure full
recognition Of their organization county in Pot
tawattamie. For this object Mr. Pickett, the same
day, had long interview with Gen. DoDGE, and We
believe obtained from him some promises and .
note to Judge Carleton, who hadthe power Of orgsn
izing the county. Col. WARREN was waited upon
by Pickett, because he was Chairman Of the Wing

Illustrate the at the election for
Congress last year the returns OF the Mormon vote
we're stoen while this same loco foco express rider
was present for the purpose Of defeating the wing
candidate for Congress-andh how the loco foco Leg
isature endeavored to utterly dsfranchise the Nor
mons, and that they so far succeeded, not to rer
nit them to have any judiciary. The particulars
Of these matters, embracing historical facts which
are well known to the people Of Iowa, would oceu-
~ too much room. The visit Of Elder IYpE, was
only to confirm the statemesrt made By Pickett in
hls overtures to Join II whig party and support
Gen. Taylor. The overtures came from the Nor
mons voluntarily. To this we are personally know
ing. No bride was offered the Mormons BY Col.
Warren or the wings. They needed none. They
had become tired with the tyranny and dupiicity of
loco focoisn. Col. WARREN has published to the
world all the pecuniary transactions he had with the
Mormons, and they are anything but bribery. All
the attempts 1t bribery the other side. The
loco foco leaders did offer brides to bring the Nor
mons back to their fold.
We might enlarge on these topics, but think we
have noticed all the principal points of attack aimed
At Col. WARREN and through him the whig party
Of Iowa, and hope their edge has been somewhat
blunted ty this plain matter-offact yindication.
AZ head Of the Wing Central Committee and as a
Wing Candidate for Elector he could not have been
otherwise than influential among US. II was because
Of this, and his success in thwarting so many of
their darling plans, that has made the leaders in
the iocofoco party so exceeding mad against him.
That he differed in some Of his measures OF policy
with prominent wings, might have been expected.
But they all aimed At the end. They all wished
to wrest the power from the few and give to the
many. TO secure this we have still to battle, and
woe be to him who would mar the issue By making
Aimsey more prominent than principle. That Col.
WARREN will make sacrifices to fulfil all his obi
cations to his friends, we have doubt. That he
10 eminently qualified for his present high and res
ponsible station we believe and that he has re-
ceved the appointment and fuls the duties so sat-
isfactorily to the President and the Cabnct As we
learn he does, gives us heartfelt pleasure,

The grand jury Of Green County, Ohio, found week
before last, hundred and one bills Of indictment
against various persons for sundry offences. when
the court assembled to try the crminals-ssone for
murder, some for rape, others for liquor selling,
gambling Ac.-the astounding discovery was made
that all the indictments had disappeared. Some
person or persons had entered the Court room the
night previous and stolen these evidences OF Rult.
This 10 about parallel with the robbery perpetraed
on our border last year, when some loco foco stole
the package Of returns ofvotes from Pottawatamie,
because they were little too whiggish. AZ dupli-
Gates were preserved, however, there will be EVIL
dcnce enough to show that DANIEL F. MILLER,
whig, is entitled to his seat in Congress.
