l. h L ATE OF DIR JOHN FRANKLIN AND CREW
AscEaTAiNED.-The remains of Sir John Frank
lin, the heroic martyr to the cause of science,
and his Inflated crew, it is confidently believed,
have at length been discovered at the Quite, of
Great Fish River, one of the large streams
falling from the American coast into the Arctic
Ocean. despatch last week from Montreal

Bay Co., has just returned from tour, this sum-
mer, to the Arctic Sea, and brings news that he
had obtained from the Esqumaux, the certain

C. B."
This dreadful event, it is thought, occurred as
early as 1850. This news 81 the fate of the
long lost Franklin, wears the appearance of being
authentic But the Imagination shrnks from all
attempts to picture the awful realities that must
have attended the deaths Of that good and gal
liant seam and his devoted followers, on that
terrible coast

abiding faith and works. in the cause was mani
tested from the first and who long ago converted
her husband to the same faith, as he says, has

bushel of apples, which prove to be one of the
best and farest specimens of native fruit we have
ever seen. We assure the good lady, that both
her act aud motive are highly appreciated, and
that such token of appreciation and encourage

full as soldier in the righteous cause of Free

KNOW NoTHlNe CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN
MASSACHUSETTS, Know Nothing State
Convention to the number of about 900 met
last week in Boston, and nominated, as candidate
for Governor, Henry ]. Gardner, merchant late
President of the City Council, and in politics a
Wing of the Webster School We fear that
the Order, in this case, have made very serious
mistake, in bringing a nominee into the field
against Wilson, who, being last year defeated by
Catholic votes, should have been the man to ro-
ceive their nomination.
THE MoRMoNs-A speck Of Wharf.-The hand
organ of the administration at Washington in.
forms us substantially that Governor Brigham
Young of Utah, is to be superseded in his office
and that will BIZ done as soon as the right mar
can be found to take his place. After the re-
cent elections, we should think there ought to be
superabundance Of democratic timber.
The Latter Day Saints, however, maintain
that their Governor, with his fifty wives and con
cubines, holds his Office by "hgher law" thar
our federal constitution He is the grand patr
arch, the high priest, the anointed aposto!ica
successor of Joe Smith. and to supersede him is
TO declare war against so, 900 Mormons. A reg
iment of Dragons and another of infantry viii
be necessary to persuade the Saints to change
Father Brigham for an unbelieving outsider. W.
presume that in resolving upon such change
the administration have also resolved upon tht
indispensable military escort that will be required
to install the new Governorln his office, among TIT
sanity polygamists of the Great Salt Lake City
Here then we have "a speck of war; 1t II
reported that Father Brigham has declared tina
he will fight like Turk for his Turkish priv
leges, and that he 'defes Frank Pierce to pu
him out" Failing then, ir eating up war OF
the Mexican boundary dispute, and on the Cub
question, and on the Greytown commandment, WI
have still the hope of lively brush with the Nor
mons And the CORY will be great if our mill
tary Cabinet, including four Generals, shall sue
ceed in expelling Brigham at the point of thu
bayonet and in entirely abolishing polygam
in Utah. with column of light infantry AM
heavy dragons. After what has happened ii
Pennsy vania. Ohio and Indiana, we think tn
YER b st thing which the administration cal
do is to send new Governor at the head of al
army of defeated democrats to the Great Sal
