Boston, Jan. 8. Jacob F. Brown, Mes
senger of the New England Bank, hung
himself from the window of his house, in
Bowdoin street, the rope broke and he fell
and was killed.
Gov. Gardner was inaugurated to-day.
The tenure of his message was principally
upon the subject Of foreign population and
Dutch Americans, our position towards
them, and the dangers to be apprehended
from them. He notices great increase Of
emigration, and says that beggary and
crime are incident to it. He urges that
wise craftsmanship should interfere within
the limits of the constitution to direct,
ameliorate and control these elements. He
contends that the dominant race must reg
ulate the incoming class, and recommends
that all schools aided by the state shall
use the same language, that our govern
ment shall disband all military companies
founded on, and developing exclusively
foreign sympathies, to retain the Bible in
public schools, and oppose every measure
tending to the union of the church and
state. The message is particularly severe
on imported demagOgues, agrarians, red
and others. 1t is opposed to
an easy method to naturalization, and holds
that foreigners are entitled to enjoy all the
blessings of the country; but the nation
should continue to administer the laws &C.
cording to its own judgment. He recon-
mends an amendment of the constitution
so that the alien elective franchise shall
be restricted TO 2l years Standardization.

esg"The Baltimore Clipper we'll remarks:
"Thc Catholic clergy in the U. States
profess to be tolerant, simply because they
have not the power to do otherwise. They
live in a Protestant community, and are
compelled to be cautious. But they can
not restrain themselves within the bounds
of prudence. They attack our public
schools, and insist upon banishing our Bi-
BILE. They fear the spread of information,
and would therefore destroy the sources of
information. Give them power, and our
country will soon be reduced to the degra-
ded condition of every Roman Catholic ma
ton, without single exception. We
would not trust any with power howould
consider his duty to his country inferior to
that which he owed to foreign prince or
potentate. The history of the Popes of
Rome is history of fraud, violence, per-
jury, cunning and usurpation. Did they
claim spiritual jurisdiction only, it would
be comparatively harmless but they have
grasped temporal authority wherever it
was to be had; though the spread of intel
ligence, even in Italy, will probably soon
divest his Holiness of all power, save that
of the head Bishop of the Roman Catholic
Church"

S~A correspondent of the N. Orleans
True Delta says:-"Every preparation, 1
am informed, has been made in Sevastopol
to repulSe a storming party. In case of
the south side being successfully stormed,
which even after Alma the Russians do not
believe to be possible, they intend to de-
fend the fortress on the north to the last.
For this purpose, all the steamers in the
harbor keep up steam day and night, to
tow over the line-of-battle ships to the
south, and also to remove the troops. Pre-
parations have likewise been made to blow
up the various works and Notifications as
they are abandoned. 1t is this latter pre-
caution which will render the storming so
bloody to the besiegers."

--So0NS-
The Misunderstanding the possi-
bility of a collision between the Mormons
of Utah and the United States authorities.
growing out Of the appointment of Colonel
Steptoe to the Governorship of that Terri
tory, the Louisville Journal says:
"Terrible as collision at this time be-
tween the General Government and the
Mormons might be, we say, unhesitatingly
let it come, if it must. Let the legitimate
authority of the United States be main
tanned in the treaty of Utah, even, if, in
order to that end, the whole Mormon pop
ulatiOn have to be driven out or annihila-
ted. All appearances indicate unerringly
that, sooner or later, conflict between the
Mormons and the lawful authorities of the
nation must take place, and if so, surely
the sooner the better. And it is especial
ly desirable, and vastly important that,
whenever the conflict occurs, our Govern
ment should be clearly and indisputably in
the right, as it certainly will be in assert
ing and maintaining, by force, its right to
appoint the Governor of Utah. The Nor
mons are a most pestilent people, and a
great'many persons insist that the General
Government shall put down polygamy
among them. We have no idea that the
Government has right to attempt this,
but it has right beyond doubt to gov
ern Utah as it governs other Territories /;
and, as a conflict at no distant day must,
from the very character of Mormonism,
and the whole conduct of the devotees, oc-
cur from one cause or another, we are not
unwilling that those horrible fanatics sho'd
take ground for the maintenance of their
profigatc prophet as Governor, and bring
on the issue now"
