like getting rid of foreigners and Catholics with
vengeance. The population of Cuba is estimated at
about two and and half millions. These are all

Utah Demonstration.

Elder ORsoN HYDE and BRIGHAM
You've have made official proclamation
of their views in regard 10 polygamy in
speeches (alike coarse and impious) de-
livered before the Saints in Utah.
1t is evident that the Mormons mean
to make an issue with the United States,
and pretty certain that they are prepar-
ing, with the aid of the Indians, "to
fight it out" The clouds look black
enough owe the Plains and in Utah. 1t
is well known that the red men pant for
revenge against the whites, and that the
Mormons will use them for the bloodiest
ends.
Any one must read the speeches of
Elder Orson Hyde and of Gov. Brigham
Young TO realise either their ferocity or
their reckless impjety. One fact will IL
l~ustrate both. The former devotes a
large portion of his speech TO prove not
only til at the Savior was married, but
that he was a polygamist!
The Government cannot, then, avoid
the issue thus forced upon the country.
whatever its consequences, it must he
met. We should no be surprised, there
fore, if ere another year had passed
round, that issue had reused the whole
country, and was made a test question
with the whole people.
The doctrine of popular sovereignty, as
upheld by President PIERCE, DOUGLAS
q Co, gives to the people of Utah the
right TO establish %polygamy, and yet the
people of no State will sanction it. What
then, is to be done? How will the Gov
eminent act? 1t has appointed Col.
STEPToE, Governor and BRIGHAM You've
announces (if the St. Louis Journals are
correct, and as the logic of his speech
would warrant US in declaring that he
will retain his secular power, despite of
President Pierce. In what way, then, is
an issue to be avoided, and how can
Government tolerate the Utah system?
Letters from Utah, and from the
Plains, as well as from the best inform
ed men in Missouri, speak ~gloomily of
the future. A fierce relentless Mormon
and Indian war is predicted. The fan
atheism of the people OF Utah is whetted
to its sharpest { edge, and the Red men
thirst for revenge. Imagine the former
controlling the latter and uniting for war;
for a war, too, in which they will brave
determination, rather than submission.
We fear serious difficulty will grow out
of the Utah Question.-Leader.

Hear and Consider.

The "AMERICAN ORGAN" at Washing
ton, grows holder and bolder in IFS pro-
slavery denunciations, and announces that
Seward viii be beaten in New York.
But wherefore Not on the ground Of
his %friendiiness TO foreigners, but because
he is an arrh GgitdtOr. Let the American
Organ speak for itself:
"Are we asked for a reason? Because
We desire the perpetuity o fIhe Union, and
the recognition CT the rights of each and
all the States, as guaranteed by the Con-
stitutiOn. But it is false hat we advocate
Slavery by opposing Seward. We never
have discussed, and never intend. 10 dis
cusS the merits or demeriis of Slavery in
our columns. We would exclude, if we
could, such men as Seward from the halls
of Congress, 10 Prerent tile agitation of the
question of Slavery, and the ultimate dis
rupiion Of the bonds of our national
Union"
Further, let a letter from one of the
most consistent and irmest opponents of
the ~despo,ism of Romanism, written from
Washington, speak: They brug here,
that they hold Ohio in the hollow of their
hand, and that the strongest Anti-Slaverv
men and press will follow in the wake Of
the national Pro-Slavery leaders of the
order" We doubt. We don't believe
any combination, or any betrayal of
Freedom by any Press, will change the
fixed purpose of Northern Ohio to stand
by the principles ofFreedom, one and ali.
We charge its true friends, however,
to be on their guard. Watch and act

The Collection of Taxes in Cincinnati.

The Citizens Committee on Taxation,
have quietly prepared to carry out their
intention of making a legal resistance to
the collection of taxes arbitrarily imposed
upon them by the Auditor of State. They
will make no active movement until after
the 2Oth, when it is understood that the
Treasurer Of the county will proceed to
distrain upon a sufficient quantity of the
goods of some mercantile firm to cover
their taxes.
The party or parties against whom the
diStraint is issued, will at once apply TO
the Supreme Court of Cincinnati, for
an injunction against the Treasurer. If
this injunction is not granted, or if it is
first granted and then dissolved upon tie
Treasurer's application, it is supposed
that the next step will be TO proceed
against that officer for trespass. In this
manner, the question will, probably, be
made TO reach the Supreme Court of the
State. If, after a full re-hearing therein,
the Auditor is sustained, and there is no
loop-hole for escape remaining, we can
see no remedy but in a revision of the
constitution.-Cia. Columbian.

From the y. o. Bee.
Mexico

The Mexican papers give accounts Of
the elections, in favor Of Gen. Santa
Anna, at Vera Cruz and the City of.
Mexico. In the former city not a single
negative vote had been received, and in
the City of Mexico, on the first day of
voting, IL, $40 votes were thrown, with
but II vote in the negative, which ac-
cording to private letters, was thrown
by a carpenter named Mendoza. Ac-
counts from other places had not been
received. The voting was to continue
for the next two succeeding days.
a number of anecdotes are circulated
respecting this farce of free suffrage.
Tie gfciGl mayor of the Minister of Fin
ance collected the votes of the Office
holders eight days before the LIST Of Dec.
They all avowed themselves in favor of
Santa Ana except two, who have been,
or are about TO be dismissed. They
knew their fate beforehand, but only
scorned 10 sacrifice their independence.
At the Auditors Office, two days be-
fore the election, the President CanSero
gathered together his employees and de-
manded their opinion for the purpose of
voting for them all. The first to whom
he applied was Mr.. Monasterio, son of
an ancient Official Mayor of the Depart
mpnt of Foreign Affsirs. ''My opinion"
said Mr.. MonasteIio. sis adverse 10 Santa
Anna /; l vote for Juan Baptista Cebal-
los" A second was INTERCEPTED. my
opinion" replied he, sis against Santa
Anna l vote for General Santiago
Blomo." The question was put to a
third, but he refused to answer. "Free
suffrage is accorded only on the 1st of
December; on that day l shall make
known ny choice" President Consero
fastened to communicate the details to
Santa Anna, and in two hours after the
partizan of Beballos and that of Blomo
were dismissed for having expressed
opinions contrary to tie Government,
while their companion lost his place for
refusing to utter any opinion.
A sergeant presented himself at the
poll. Whom do you vote lvi ?" is the
question. 81 vote in the negative" re-
piled the sergeant, ''for l cannot sustain
a Government which does not offer the
slightest individual guarantee" Five
minutes after this manifestation of indie
pendence, the honest soldier found him
self in a dungeon.
l could cite a thousand similar occur
rences, but these samples are sufficient.
| am acquainted with a number of Mex
leans, who prefer the best founded and
most violent adherence of Santa Anna
and his ministers, and who nevertheless,
voted for him. Although neither func-
tionaries nor employees of the Govern
ment, they dreaded lest their absencefrom
the polls would draw down upon them
the wrath of the tyrant.
The same results are to be expected
in every quarter of the Republic. In
reality, this Government by exercising a
system of violence so poorly disguised,
and by playing so ignoble an electoral
farce, must have regarded the Mexican
people as a nation of brutes or asses.

Injuncticn-Ra1ks VS.. tie People.

Does the Journal intend to misro pre-
sent facts in stating that our executive
officers, in making their assessment on
banks are acting in defiance of the de-
cission of the Supreme Court at Wash
ington {?
Or is the Journal as stupid as that su-
perannuattd old driveler, yelept John
Mclean, who did. not know, eight weeks
since, that the banks of Ohio are now
taxed, not only under another law, but
under another Constitution than that
which five old ladies in night caps, at
Washirg ton, made their Piqua Branch
decision.
What an outrage that a dotaTd has
the power to sit in judgement upon the
rights of sovereign States, when his fac
ulties are so benumbed with age that he
is under the necessity of depending upon
the members of the bar to remind, as to
what is law.
1t is rumored that Judge Leavitt has
placed a few blank signatures already
signed and sealed in the hands of the
banks attorneys to be used in case of any
sudden emergency created by any ras-
cally LocofocO officer Statesman.
Ifinfamy a find a lower deep than is
reached in the above, we have vet to
see it. Comment is unnecessary.
The Journal misrepresents no facts in
this case. There is not a LAWYER, or a
man OF ordinary intelligence in Ohio,
who does not know that the point deci-
ded by the Supreme Court of the United
States owe the entire ground of con-
troversy. The Constitution of the Uni
ted States declares that no State shall
pass laws impairing the obligations of
contracts. The Supreme Court of the
United States has GLOays decided that a
Bank charter is a contract. 1t declares
that all laws which attempt to tax them
In a different manner than is provided for
by their charters, are a violation of the
Constitution of the United States, and are
therefore null and void.
Ii makes no difference Uhen a law
ior THIS purpose is passed. The thing
is VOID In any view and under all cir
cumstances. The new Constitution of
Ohio neither gives nor takes away any
of the provisions of the constitution Of
the United States.
We repeat emphaticaIiy, and with a
full knowledge Of what We say as, that
the decision of the United States Court
covers the entire question. It's final,
and should be obeyed as such by the
Auditor of State. We shall hold him
and his defenders %tofhepOint. Let them
beware of the judgement of the tax pay
ers of Okic.-State Journak.

Bryant, Spencer, Lusk & S%tratton's
Mercantile College.

BY the ~poilieneSS OF the principals o.
this institution we have been invited to
visit their Rooms, which are filled with a
class of highly intelligent and respectable
appearing gentlemen and ladies. They
have at present about ninety pupils in the
several departments with daily accessions
10 their classes.
We are pleased TO see young men so
generally turning their attention to the
pursuit of Mercantile study before enter
ing the field of actual business. If men
would become thoroughly conversant with
Cen mercial Science, not only book,keep-
ing, but everyother department of business
pursuits, before trusting their fortunes to
the hitherto uncertain and risky bark of
commercial enterprise, there would be a
far less number of mercantile reverses
and failures lhan is now experienced.
There is just as much safety in pursu-
ing the various branches Of trade and
commerce as farming, if they are properly
understood.
Every young man who has a desire TO
commence business for himself should
know that he is w~ell-informed in ali those
branches taught in our best mercantile
schools.
1t is not Jul sphere to recommend gen.
tlemen and ladies to any particular school
in this city, or elsewhere.
OF the gentlemany teachers connected
with this College we need not speak.
MIR. BRYANT has long been known as a
most thorough accountant and Skillful
teacher, while Mr.. LUSK, as a rapid off
hand penman and accomplished instructor
in his indispensable art, has no superior
in this country.
The estimate of the superior facilities
they offer for study, is manifested by the
very excessive, and almost unprecedented,
patronage the College has received during
the past year, which embraces nearly five
hundred students.
Among the pupils we noticed a large
number of ladies engaged in study. This
is as it should be. 1t is well for women
TO become familiar with the Mercantile
Science.
In conclusion we would say to young
men, whether they be farmers, mechanics
or merchants, that their time cannot be
spent to better advantage in these hard
than in certifying themselves by a
thorough Mercantile education, for the
want of which many a man has been
wrecked upol the shoals of bankruptcy
and disgrace, and doomed TO those wasting
and chilling influences which SO often re-
suit from the loss of Property.- Cleveland

Lewis D. Campbell,

A special correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune says of the late dispute between
Campbell and Stephens of Ga.
"In the passage today between Ste
phens, of Georgia, and Campbell of Ohio,
on Nebraska, the Georgian was evidently
not himself, while the Ohio member wa
a head and shoulders above his ordinary
mark. His scalhing of Stephens was
powerful and triumphant. The quotations
from a former speech by Stephens against
Popular Sovereignty were crushing.
