Principles Of Popular Sovereignty; and
inasmuch as many Of the members ofth,
iprcsent Legislature are men who owe their
election to a combined system Of force aud
fraud, we do not feel bound to obey any
law of their enacting.

II y. About one o'clock A. Nj. the in.
Vt mates of the house of James Thompson, q
y comfortable farmer, were aroused by tho
=" "" alarm OF fire. The house was discovered
= to be in tlnmes, having been fired by an
II Iincendary in three or four places. Old
Mr. Thompson, who was first to discover
the fire, ruSlyod up stairs to alarm his

J. i JULIA, Mary and Mrs. Elizabeth Carr, with
% the two children Of the latter, and old Mr..

!" inma oS were twelve in number, and the
) rest escaped with great difficulty. There
~ is I doubt OF the fire being the work of
II in inceaAiary, and the most intense ex-
= ciemont prevails III the town.

ay able condition in which it is at present.
&C. There is not only diSScnsfon amongst the
Saints, but the whole Territory is threat
cned bv famine. In the Southern settle
n mentS, the whole Of the wheat crop which
lii had locked so promising, hal been de-
IS stroycd by the grasshoppers; and towards
or. the North the same result is apprehended.
'c- These insects were gushing out of the earth
IL by shoals, and it required only little
warm weather to hasten their growth, and
to to ensure the entire destruction of the

~ PEACHES. fact that some southern
va tribes OF Inlians have orchards pro 'ucing
rho superior peaches has lel many pers ons to
.ho suppose that the fruit was among the pro
,,.L duets of America when fist disco Tered.-'
.r. This is all error. The peach was introeluc.
~ ell into Louisiana by the Spaniards prior
-, Ito its settlement by the French. 1t has
since grown spontaneous y, and in many
q, . respects, apparently Indigenous; but the
M. original stock was imported. 1t is believ-
tIo M ed from that this fruit has been produces
-. throughout tho world from the stock origi-
6y naIIy obtained in Persia.
