that another man shall be governor Of this

We have not got a territorial government,

any longer" and then am willing to yield

The Mormon manner ofelccting delegate
to Congress is, to say the least Of it, quite
unique. Young, as presiding Elder, is
preaching when he says:
1T came into my mind when brother Bern

me now, viz inasmuch as he does frst-rate
as our delegate in Washington, was going
to move that we send him next season, tho
it is the Sabbath day.

things that are necessary to be done when

for the best interest and kingdom of God, to
make them on the Sabbath, we do it. Bro

COMPLIMENT to ALEx'R R. BorELEn, Il.

We copy the following from the proceedings
of the recent meeting fthe Now Jersey His
torical Society. 1t is but a just tribute to
Mr.. Boteler's taste end researches, from a
quarter whose commentator may we'll be COW
esed. We trust he may be induced to pre-
sent to the public, in some accessible form, a
compilation Of the valuable material which
his energy and zeal, in the investi CATION of
Historical and Literary subjects connected
with the country, have enabled him, as we
have been for some time apprised, to collect
and digest.

MAY, 1854, The Chair was taken I,y the
President, the Hon. JOSEPH HORN
BLOWER; and two Of the Vice Presidents,
Hon. JAMES PARKER and Hon. WV. A. DU-
ER. were also present.
Mr.. Cougar, the Librarian, announced the
donations received since January.
Many of these donations were Of consider
able interest, and from Mr.. Boteler most
valuable collection of original manuscripts
was received, through the Hon. Alexander
q. NJ Pennington, Member of Congress. from
this district. The papers. of dates during
1115 and 1776. were such as were present.
ed to the Provincial Congress, aud consisted
Of memorials, letters, aud Communications
connected with the stirring events of those
times.
Mr.. Whitehead remarked, in substance,
that an examination Of the manuscripts re-
ceived from Mr.. Boteler had satisfied him
that they deserved all the commentators be-
slowed upon them by the librarian and that
the donor deserved the special thauls Of the
Society. 1t was rather curious that these
MSS. should be found in Vireiuia-( Presi-
dent MAGICIAN explained that Mr.. Boteler
was connected by marriage with one Of the
lold families of New Jersey)--and expressed
his regret that more care was not taken by
officers of the State, in different departments
and also Of towns and cities, to preserve the
records and official papers connected With
their Offices. and transfer them to their sue
eessors. or deposit them where they would
ever remain for reference and examination.
Tie offered the following resolutions, which
were adopted: f
Resolred. That the Corresponding Secreta-
~ communicate to Alexander II Boteler, Esq
the thanks of this Society, for bis valuabl,
donation OF original manuscripts connected
with the sittings Of the Provincial Congress
of New Jersey 10 1775 aud IT'S, received
through the Hon. G. M. Pennington.
That the Librarian procure printed cop,
OF the proceedings of the Congress during
those years, and cause the manuscripts re-
ceived from Mr.. Boteler to be bound With i
in their proper connection.

SARATOGA AND AUDURN.

1t announced by the Courier des Eats Uais we
suppose on sufficient authority, that Lieutenant Boz
naparte, of Baltimore, has resigned his commits
sion in the American Army and taken one 10 the
French. Ths fact is transferred to the journals gen
orally without word of comment, though it would
seem to prompt and to merit various grave remarks
and suggestions.
The only excuse FOR an army in this country is that
it is frontier police and that the nursery Of officers
at West Point may possibly prove of value in time of
menace to our shores from foreign power. Except
orthese reasons that Academy would not have been in
stituted and it il thought by some that except
for the war with Mexico it would ere this have been
positively suppressed, spite Of those reasons As tits

INlNG ny TELEGRAPH,

That the proceedings and results Of the Saratoga
Convention hare not found favor in the eyes OF the
Douglasites, is what expected and desired. Their
confident predictions that it would prove fzzle II"
that it would explods-that it would put up state
Ticket, and so distract the AntiSavery strength of
our Stste-bave all proved mistaken and delusiye.-
Even the cautious souls who were afraid that mis-
chefwould be done there that they stood aloof and
took the very course best calculated to insure the evil
results they prophesied are grieyOusly disappointed
at the failure of their eagerly expected opportunity to
be doleful 81 told you So" sticks in their throats
frozen there in the very act ofuterance Their sense
of relief from the apprehension that the Wing Party
was to be divided and destroyed is most lugubrious
We knew our adversaries, avoxed and stealthy,
would feel cast down by the dOings of Saratoga and
We feel for them; but we cannot allow them to lie
about it, and especially must insist that the Tele-
graph shall not lie fer them. Yet in the Philadelphia
Baltimore and all journals South OF those cities, the
doings at Saratoga are heralded by Telegraph as
follows:
"WIIG ANTI-NEBRASKA CONVENTION.
"SARArooA. n. Y, Wednesday, Aug. Is, 1854.
"The Iyhig Anti Nebraska Convention assembled here
this morning at 10 o'clock. John A. King chosen
temporary Chairman, &C. &c.
This Dispatch we are very confident, did not
originate at Saratoga as stated but was concocted in
this City.
The writer of it knew himself liar, or he knows
very little The Anti-Nebrasks Convention was no
more Wing than the Temperance Convention was
ror than the State Agricultural Fair will be. Not
one of its active promoters is Wing, so far as we
have knowledge. The call was expressly to men Of
all parties opposed to the repeal of the Missouri Re-
strictiOn. The Wings quite generally, while sympa
thzing with its impulses and avowed objects, wero
afraid it would distract and perhaps divide their
party, by proceeding to nominate a State Ticket
And the call was signed by men of all parties 50
was it addressed to of all parties, and responded
to by all
We DO not believe majority OF its members at any
time were Wings. It's President was Vice Chancellor
MCOUN, life long Democrat Among its members
were PRESTON KING, Gen. L. +. BULLARD, the Rev.
DoLPHUs SKINNER, Judge ALLISON of Rockiand,
HIRAM BARNEY, GEO. p BENEDICT, and scores
more of lifelong Democrats; also, LEONARD GIBBS,
JOHN Snow, DENNIS HARRIS JOSHUA LEAvITT,
and more than a hundred other Wing Adolf
tonists.
We should like TO be informed as to the author
,hp Of this cheating dispatch. That those who
hoped to break up the Saratoga Convention in row,
it to triumph in this State to Nebraska
Hunkersn should feel mortified ia very natural bus,
they need not seek to mask their chsgrn by false
hood.
