has been chief sufferer by the gallantries of
Uncle Sans boys; and, considering that his
holiness has only forty.six wives left, no doubt
his "sufferings is intolerable." His feelings
toward the Federal Government seem to have
been greatly exasperated by the conduct of the
soldiers, as will be seen by the following defiant
language:
awe want none Of their money! and if they
are not disposed to send it here care nothing
about their moneys coming; and this proves
to me, and should to you, that do not care
about mans getting one dime appropriated
to this Territory. But we will send delegate
who will do no hurt; and if it were not that the
hue and cry of treason against the General
Government would be made, we would not
send delegate at all or were it not that they
would say, Now you have proof sufficient that
the MormOns mean to secede from the Union,
as they have sent no delegate;' and thus hatch
up pretext for commencing fresh hostilities
against US.
"Write this to the States, if you please. If
there are any Gentiles or Hickory Mormons
here, and so disposed, write it down and send
and soldiers here, to conduct themselves as
they did last winter, they shall meet upon the
spot the due reward of their crimes.
"Though may not be Governor here, my
power will not be diminished. No man they
can send here will have much influence with
this community, unless he is the man of their
choice. Let them send whom they will, and it
does not diminish my influence one particle.
AS | said, the first time | spoke on this stand,
my Governorship, and every other ship under
my control, are aided, and derive direct advan-
tages from my position in the priesthood"
TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN ART.-The reader will
find in the Era of to-day interesting accounts of
the triumph of American inventive genius at
the French Exposition of all Nations. The de-
scription Of the scene in the letter of the Paris
writer bestows the palm on Mccormick reaper,
while an article from the Paris Constitutional
gives the preference to Manny's. The reader
must judge between them.
KANSAS PoLITIcs.-The following extracts
from the editorial columns of the .Sguatfer Soc
ereign, printed at Atchson, in Kansas, exhibits
a degree OF audacity which will rather amuse
than terrify. 1t will be seen that the President
has failed to secure the respect of the interopng
rutiians, Notwithstanding all his efforts in the
removal Of Reeder, and in winking at their
atrocious violations of the laws, and the rights
of the people of the Territory.
From the Squa,er Sovereign Of Auq .,
We can tell the impairment scoundrels Of
the Tribune, that they may exhaust an ocean
of ink, their Emigrant Aid Societies spend their
tboir :.
Congress spout their heretical theories till
Doomsday, and his Excellency Franklin Pierce
appoint Abolitionist after Free-Soiler as our
Governor-yet will we continue to tar and
feather, drown, lynch, and hang, every white
livefed Abolitionist who dares to polute our
soil.
And though our fair Territory may be re-
fused admittance into the Union as a slave
holding State, by the political demagogues Of
the North, we care as little for their decision
as for the continued and futile attacks which
have been made upon our rights, by tie indie
cisive Cabinet who now administer the affairs
of our nation. For we confidently hope that
the last National Congress may meet in Wash
ingion on the first Monday in December next /;
and we prophesy with the firm conviction tina,
time will verify our words, that never again
will the Southern States Of the Republic SUITE,

Gals, who stand pledged to war upon their rights
until liberation ceases to be virtue. Z
For what are laws enacted, if not for the pro-
lection OF person and property This same
Constitution recognises oGy slaves as property.
and, ii it is to be observed by us, must protect
the rights OF the stakeholder, in whatever por-
ion of the Union he may be.
"lHE STAR THAT NEVER SETs."-The M

memorially, to chronicle the result of the cleo
tons in Vermont, with the predatory exclama
ton, "The Star that never Sets e." but the ven

and even the invincible Sam is nowhere.

ATCHIsoN.-The reported reelection of Mr.
Atchison to the Senate is hoax. The Legis
lature of Missouri will not meet until the last
Monday in December; and then we are happy
to believe that there is not the remotest danger
of the return of Atchison.
PAssMoRE WILLIAMsOY.-The Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania have refused to release Mr.
Williamson from confinement. Judge Black
read the decision. The ground taken is, that
the Court has no jurisdiction to warrant its in
reference with the judgment of the Fedora
Courts; that such Courts have exclusive power
in deciding cases Of contempt and this Court
could not go behind the record, to ascertain
the fact whether the commitment was legal or
not.
Judge Knox, in his adverse opinion, contends
that the District Court had no jurisdiction to
issue writ of habeas corpus in the first place,
and that Williamson was guilty of no crime in
refusing to answer it. He also urges that the
fined exclusively to State Courts.
Sinoe the Supreme Judiciary of Pennsylvania
finds itself unable to protect its citizens in the
enjoyment of their liberties, may it not be well
for the People to inquire whether the Judiciary
is of any utility?
The People of Pennsylvania have a glorious
opportunity to rebuke Federal insolence and
usurpation, and to vindicate the honor of the
State from the stain placed upon its escutcheon
by this tame spirit of submission to Federal
