But all was in vain; and never did a party
or combination of parties receive such an
overthrow as the returns exhibited. And
never did we witness any where an selec-
ton conducted with somuch order, decorum
and propriety, and this too in the absence
of all law and authority.
= The day before the election, the several
candidates spoke in this place, and the
same order and decoruIn prevailed. The
speakers acquitted themselves well and
were loudly cheered by the audience,
which was large and respectable. That is
the proslavery speakers were cheered-
the speakers on the other side were res

their own party.

ing, Col. Alexander from Pennsylvania,
but now a resident in our town was called
upon for a speech, to which he responded
in very eloquent and argumentative ad-
dress, vindieating the South, and showed
that she had always acted on the defensive,
and that the North was always aggressive
against the South, vindicating his own
State also, showing how she had always
stood by the South, in defense of her rights
and interests, and concluded by observing
that all Pennsylvanians are not Reeder's
and Flenniken's.
In looking at the result of this election,
we naturally inquire what has become of
the abolitionists sent by the Emigrant ard
Societies. The thousands which they say
have been sent ont here, have dwindled
down to few hundred What has be-
come of the balance? Have they deserted
their masters, or have they run away7-
If the latter, our devil wishes to know, if
the Emigrant aid Societies wilIenforce the
Fugitive Slave law to bring them back?
Ia The ''Squatter Sovereign of the
9th ult., contains an unwarrantable attack
upon the officers Of tReoClara, accusing
them Of being stockholders in Leavenworth,
and therefore, by deception causing the
first body Of the Mormon Emigration to
land here instead of at Alchison. In the
course of our editorial career we have never
yet seen SO small an amount of matter con-
tanning such a number of falsehoois.
In the first place the officers of the Clara
do not own one lot in this place. Secondly
it was not by being deceived as regards the
advantages OF Atchison, that the Mormons
landed here; but their common sense told
them that this was the only suitable starting
point for Salt Lake on the Kansas side of
the river. and their information In this case
was derived (not from officers Of the boat,
but from passengers, and men who were
probably better acquainted with the eIrcum-
stances than the officers themselves. Some
Is OF 20 out of 169 of the Mormons being
led off by an agent from Atchison, went to
that place, but most of them have now re-
turned, and all, men and ,uonaen are now
at work in this city.
1t then gives vent to little squib ofpent
up wrath, by enjoining all who are inter-
ested in Atchison to mark the Clara, and
her officers, and gives them its pious re-
CARDS by wishing that she may have light
freights and small number of passengers.
Now we think that this comes with a bad
grace from such men as the editors of the
Sovereign, and we are sorry to see that they
have allowed themselves to be prompted
by spirit of contemptible jealousy to SLAM
der their neighbors, and falsify the truth.
The passengers on the Clara need take no
extra precautions for Capt. Cheeyer, is too
well known in this country that supieion
or donbt as regards his integrity should be
entertained, and both gentlemen have
oea med for the boat a character second to
