Col. Mannypenny, Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs, has received what he should
have had long ago--a sound thrashing.
From late intelligence received from Wash
ington, we learn that while the Commis.
sioner Mannypenny was luxuriating in a
large velvet arm chair in Willard's Hotel,
he was assailed by Lieut.. Beale. formerly
Indian A gent in California, who had good
reason to believe that the temporary dis
allowance of his accounts by the Govern
ment was attributable to the personal hos
tility of Mannypenny. Report says thai
the Col. showed no 'pluck' but retreated
from the sortie as rapidly as his legs would
carry him; not, however, without receiving
severe drubbing from the hands of hi:
assailant The second scene promises te
be a regular "sa to" between Reeder ane
Mannypenny; but who will bear off the
pugilistic harels, or whose eyes will b.
Graped in mourning, in case of such al
event we are not prepared to say. 9.

On motion the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, By the facts elected on the
Coroner's inquest held over the body of
Malcolm Clark, as well as from other cir
Ecumstances that have come to our knowledge
| it appears that William Philips of Leaven-
worth was an accessory tothe murder of one
of our most respected citizens; and where
as, the conduct of sand Phillips, heretofore,
has fully demonstrated his unworthiness as
citizen or gentlemen; therefore
ResoEved, That in accordance wi.hthe ex-
pressed desire of the indignation meeting
| to night William Phillips be ordered to leave
this Territory by 9 o'clock Thursday even
ing next; and that a committee of ten be
appointed to notify him inssanter Of the re-
QUESTION OF this meeting.
ResoLved, That the notice be written and
signed By the committe who shall proceed
Immediately after adjournment to the resi-
dence of William Philips and deliver it to
himself IN person.
Resobued, That the course to be pursued
in regard 10 the other Abolitlonists, and TO
the other matters of importance be left for
the decision Of the meeting Of the citizens,
to be held next Thursday.
Resolued. That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the officers and other
members of the Committee.
The chairman appointed the following
named gentlemen towait upon Mr.. Philips.
jarrett Todd, H. Rives Pollard,
Jno. G. Posey, JOS. L. McAleer,
n. B. Brooks, yno. III. Mcbride.

We are perfectly wiling that Atchison
should have the Mormon emigration If she
can get ii. We are utterly indifferent in re-
gssd to i, and if the Mormons see fit to re-
move soAtchison we can safely promise that
nething viii be said or done to dissuade OF
deter them from doing so. Leayenworth is
not dependent upen the temporary re-
sidence Of few hundred hformons for her
support and prosperity; nor does she wish to
make it bone of contention with Atchi-
son. Although the Sovereign has time
and again assured the public that the tosUs'
of Atchison presents better advantages than
the "vsllage" of Learenworth as starting
point for the Salt Lake trade, we will state
for the edifcation of Its Editor that our city
has been selected hyMajors, Russell & Co,
the large and extensive U. S. freighters,' .
A. Gilbert, the heavy Salt Lake trader Of
Weston, and Thos. Davy, as the most desi.
rable and feasible starting point on the Mis-
souri, river. This fact completely falsi6es the
Sovereign's statements and serves to show
that Leayenworth is to become the Grand
Commercial Emporium of Kansas. In clos
ing our animadversion to the gross misre-
presentations of our city made by the Sove-
reign, we will take the liberty to give its
Editor little advice, which may one day
prove of incalculable benefit to him and be
the means of causing him to act little
more discreetly in future. Before you open
your lips to speak in future, reflect whether
you know the truth Of what you are about
to say, or understand the matter thereof.
Else you may be detected in falsehood
and the words of your own mouth destroy
your peace.

New-York to Pennsylvania !

The Freemen of the Empire State, have fol-
lowed the example of their brethren in most
Northern states, and formally %inaugurated a
Republican Party. At Syracuse, on Tuesday,
oath ult., assembled both the Wing and Re
publican State Conventions. A committee of
conference was appointed, and the two Con-
v~entions, finding they were endeavorins to eff
feet the same great purpose, viz to stay the
progression of slavery-aggression, found no diff
fculty in "fusiug" upon a common platform,
and agreeing upon a common ticket. That
ticket is composed as follows =
For Secretary of State, PRESTON KING, of st. Lawrence.
For Controller. ......., JAMES NJ. Cook, of Saratoga.
For Treasurer. ALIEN. B. WILLIAMS, of Wayne.
For Attorney General. .ABILAH MANN. jr, of Queens.
For Canal Commissioner ,DAN'L. NJ BIssEf.L, of Livingston
For State Engineer, -. GEO. GEDDEs, of Onondaga.
For Stute Prison IhspectorWEsLEY BAILEY, of Oneida.
Judges Court Of Appeais, .BRADFoRp R. wooD. of Albany
80 tJosEPH MULLEN, of jefferson.
fFor long term. tFor short term.
The name of Preston KING is enough to re-
commend any ticket to the support of Free
men. Pre-eminent amongst the true men of
the North is this tried and trusty soldier of
Freedom. Faithful amongst the faithless, his
example is worthy of emulation. The voters
of our sister state, have nov an organization
and a ticket around which they can proudly
rally. We have no doubt her Freemen will
desert the corrupt and rotten organizations,
which have bowed the knee to slavery, and
give the Republican ticket their hearty sup
port.
HORACE GREELEY reported the platform,
which is broad and comprehensive enough to
embrace every patriot. 1t breathes the spirit
of freedom, and appeals with irresistible force
for support, to every man who desires to see
slavery checked in its mad career, before it
has swallowed up the rights of the North, and
fastened the curse upon every foot of our soil.

Tax on Coal.
salaries.

-
PIoLErr, with characteristic modesty, is tel
ling the people that if elected, he will pass a
law taxing coal, by which some hundreds of
thousands of dollars revenue will be raised-at
the same time telling them that he originated
the measure-that when he was in the House
he looked over the assessments and found that
coal property was not properly taxed, and that
he introduced into the House a proposition to
tax coal. There have been other great men
in the world besides Col. PGoLLEr, but never
his equal for egotism and assurance.
The proposition to levy a tax on Coal is as
old as the use of the article itself. In 1925,
Gov. SHULTz recommended such a tax, and it
has been a question frequently mooted since.
We ~recollect that a number of articles appear
ed in the Banner and Democrat, of this place.
in 1899, advocating such a tax.
Besides this, unfortunately for Col. P1oLLEr's
veracity, and reputation for sagacity, the reso-
luton concerning the tax on Coal, was offered
in the house, by Mr.. Hill, of Westmoreland !!
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1855-10-06
A Sudden Conversion !

The most remarkable instance of sudden con-
version to honesty and regard for the welfare
of the public is exhibited in the case of Col.
PIoLLEr. 1t is somewhat unfortunate that it
did not occur be ore he W, S a member of the
Legislature, as we might then nave had some
evidence, in his Legislative career, of his ex-
traordinary watchfulness over the interests of
his constituents.
If he is honest, however, i'll his reformation,
let him exhibit it in a proper manner. Firstly,
let him pay over to the State the 5 $500 he
received from the Towanda Bank, when SUI
perintendent, as a bonus for the use of the mo-
ney of the State.
Let him refund to the state $3.50, being his
share of the $4,000 received by the Junction
Canal Company.
Let him turn his attention to s~tcalings near
at home, and see that the State is paid for the
cut stone and timber missing from the Wysox
aqueduct.
When he has done this, it will be high time
for him to arraign others for voting money
into their own pockets" or for increasing
salaries.
