Mr. LELAND, the Agent for the State Temper
ance Society has been laboring here for the last
few DAYS. lie gave a very satisfactory and argn-
mentative scriptural view of the subject on Sun
day night at the Congregational Church, and on
Monday ana tuesday evenings he lecturcd In the
Temperance Hall to crowded audiences.
Mr. l.. belongs to the Society Of Friends. He
comes among us 5 an accredited Agent otthe State
Society, which is now going hand in hand with the
various Divisions of the Sons of Temperance, for
the purpose orlessenng and, if possible. of erat-
icatns the evils of incompetence. In visiting the
country settlements, the contributions are hut
small. He receives no salary, and out Of all the
contributors which are made for his support he
has to pay ten per cent, into the State Society's
Treasury. He should look then to the larger towns
for liberal contributions and hope, Burling-
ton has never been behind in such matters, our
citizens will do something worthy of their attach
nent TO the cause, and which shall be s"iiceht 10
authorize Mr. L. to deliver at least one address IN
each school District throughout the county.
Opposition aud prejudice against the progress
of Temperance still exist in many Of the settle
ments. 1t was only last summer, when some few
rowdies got together in Cedar Rapids and shaved
OIL the name and tail of MrLcand's horse. 1t was
beautiful and spirited young animal. But the
mischief did not end here. Shortly after TINS

! the hind wheel over the child. Mr.. l.. was con-

Execution al Peoria.

On Wednesday last the two young men, Brown
and Williams, were publicly executed IN PEORIA
for the murder OF Mr. Hewett. tom It," the
man whom il is supposed instigated these young
men to commit the murder, was brought 10 Peoria
from New Orleans, the very day OF The execution,
,yhere he is now confined in Jail. During the eA-
ira space allotted them ly the Governors repFieve
Tom and George apparently made suitable prepar'
alton for their fate. They died il is thought sin
cere peuitents. George appeared very much al
fectea while on his way to the gallows, while Tom
Brown, seemed quite stoical. Before they we're
swung off, the Rev. Messrs Spencer and Parks,
their spiritual advisers, addressed the crowd in
behalf of the boys. The former said they had con-
fessed the commission of the crime and ackEowl-
edged the justice Of the penalty they were about to
pay. The latter stated that the Of their then
awful position might be traced to the monster Rum,
the disobey ing parents and TO Sabbath breaking,
and in behalf of the culprits besousht the youth
present 10 shun such evil practices; and also
thanked the sheriff and Jaior for their kindness
There were about IL 900 persons present, who pre-
served becoming order during the execution.

THE SILVER MlNE.-Qute a Juror has been Crea-
ted in Tennessee about the discovery of a silver
mine, near the Cumberland Falls. The proprietor
laid his plans so adroity aa to convince the COM
munity that the discovery was of Immense value.
Spectators bought lots in the vicinity at great
prices. and things were going on swimmingy,
until some Of the newly discovered ore went
through the crucibles Of the chemists. Professor
Silliman found the specimen Of sFails Ore sub
mited to him, did no: yield the thousantth part Of
the suspicion of silver. This opinion and that of
others being published has knocked the whole
speculation in the head. and the bubble has burst.
in the midst of the dissatisfaction aud constcrna
ton of the proprietor aud all concerned.

Der of Texan Rangers and a company of L. S.
Troops had Joined CARAvAJAL in an attempt
TO overthrow the Mexican Authority between
the Rio Grande and the Sierra Madre-par-
ticipation in which by persons from this country
is a violation of our treaties with Mexico, and
Of all international good faith-has led President
FILLMORE to issue Proclamation on the sub
iect, which will be found in another part of this
paper. The National HltelGgencer is of the opn-
ion that this revolt is merely to get possession
of the Mexican Custom Houses in that region,
and to rob them of the goods stored therein,
large quantities in amount and value Of which
had been seized in an attempt to smuggle them
across our border into that country in violation
of its tariff laws. 1t ays:-'It may be that the
two hundred Filibustiers who banded together
in Texas, and, before they heard of the fate of
LoPEz, marched towards the sea-board TO join
the Cuban invasion, have, in default of any other
liberating enterprise, turned their attention
towards the Golfers and custom-houses of Tam
aulipas, or formed the nucleus of a large inva-
ding force 1t does not appear that this ra=zia
is intended for any other purpuse than that OF
robbery, like those OF the caterans of the High
lands to levy black mail on the Lowlands of
Scotland. unless the ineGiciency. cowardice or
want of ability of the Mexican Government to
resist and overcome these FiibWstierS, may en-
able them to gather strength and give to their
ravages the consequence Of q Revolution {0rh

still duly grateful for the escape of the To-

not succeed. We don't know what means

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN PoIlrrcs.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN Po1Irrcs.
Judge Campbell, one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and
a candidate for election on the Democratic
ticket, says the Baltimore Sun, has been
defeated, although the rest of the Democrat
ic ticket is elected by so large majority
The reason for this defeat is said to be the
religious belief of Judge Campbell. He
is a Roman Catholic, and enough have
voted against him to leave him in the mi
nority. We did not think that such intol-
erance existed anywhere in the United
States, though there is said to be something
of the sort in New Hampshire, the people
there having refused 10 adopt the new
constitution, which removed the old re-
striction preventing Catholics from hold
ing office. 1t is to be hoped that in both
cases, some other cause lies at the bottom
of the result.

bumping-b beam of a freight car in Gaysport
whilst in motion, but failing to clear the track
the wheels passed over one of her legs near the
ancle, crushing it SO shockingly as to render
amputation necessary. The operation was per-
formed by Drs. Cofey and Rodrigue on the next
day and we understand that she is doing as well
as could be expected. Immediately after the
occurrence of the accident she was taken to Mr..

possible attention has been paid her-This is

q The Democrat takes good care to
give currency to an expression said to have
been made by whig against the cursed
dutch" OF course this is intended to bring
back some who have got tired of being
footballs for the locofoco leaders, AID
because whig said SO, the inference is
desired to be drawn that whig represents
the whig party. 1t is not long since we
heard locotoco wish the Dutch and Irish
all IN -, and under the same rule, we
suppose are to take it for granted that he
represents the locofoco party just as much
as a whig who would give utterance to the
language harped upon by the Democrat.
