The Moimoils

The Phade phia Gazette states that the Nor
mons have large colony ON Beaver Island Lake
Michigan. This il fragment from the main
body, having left il before the emigration to the
Salt Lake, Its members do not recognize the
Supremacy of Brigham Young, but have Proph-
ct of their own. Lately this division of the
Saints held, at Holy Island, n conference, in
which they listened to a recital Of their persecu-
tons, ands especially the efforts to dispossess
them of tho Island. Then followed Il solemn
thanksgiving and praise Of Gqa tor their happy
delye.ance from civil war and ether persecution,
after which the Sacramehts We're administered
and the camp broke up. Next day the party pro-
ceeded to the mouth of Pine river. where they
erected q gaows and hung in etiigy the men
who made the attack on two boat loads of un-
armed Mormons, at that place, two years since.
The following day they erected new church
building. Decent accounts from Salt Lake say
that the Nlormons in Utah are openly defying the
United States Government. They even have a
flag of their own, embellished with the device of
bee hive, aud discard the L. 5. national flag,
They are said to have afactorg where they make
fire arass This however. is only by direction
ofthe rulers; for many of the Mormon people are
dissatisfied, and desire to emf CRATE to California.
Times are dull, mosey scarce, and labor not in
demand. Anumber Of farpilies with wagons and
cattle have arrived in California from the Salt
Lake, and others were DESTROYS of leaving, but
We're prevented by brigham Young, who had
them closely watched to prevent their departure
after night This is somewhat remarkable, a
being the first symptom of discomfort yet mani
tested by Goung's subjects. IT will, doubtless
be Eailed all over the Union rs a favorable iuli
cation, and as showing the Likelihood ola change
in the condition of affairs in Utah.

A Kansas Hero.

Oflate weeks the name of Pat Laugh
lin has been figuring conspicuously in
the public prints in connection with the
disturbances in Kansas. Laughlin, it
will be recollected, divulged the details
of the secret abolition movement. and by
his disclosures, brought to crisis the
long accommodating series of grievances
and troubles. This piece of treason was
in perfect consonance with the previous
character of the traitor, of whose history
we have learned something.
Laughlin is quite young man, not,
perhaps, more than twenty-three years
of age, and formerly resided in Scott
county, in this State. He kept small
grocery store on the Georgetown and
Frankfort turnpike, and having, about
one year since, accumulated, borrowed
and collected all the cash possible, de-
parted for unknown regions. He left his
family and friends large indebtedness
to pay, and by other membranes of
that sort, caused his memory to be not
particularly blessed by the people among
whom he formerly lived.
Thus it is the world over. Humbue
rules for the moment, and Laughlin's
experience justly merits the fame he is
receiving, as self-sacrifcing friend of
the Missourians. If he gets well paid
for his treachery in Kansas, perhaps he
viii return home and satisfy his Ken
lucky friends.-LouisUiHe Ky., Courier.

The Weather.

December has been a lovely month
thus far, with the exception of three OF
four days, which were cold and windy.
Snow has fallen but once this season, and
that less than half an inch, and laid on
the ground but a few hours. There has
been less wind during December this
year, than through the same period last
year. In fact the whole autumn was
probably freer of high winds than last
year, though more rain has fallen. No
vember was a portion of the time wet,
and unpleasant for outdoor pursuits.
The above remarks were written two
weeks ago. For additional remarks see
second page.

The Delay.

In consequence of the unprecedented
cold weather of the last two weeks, and
the open and exposed condition of our
office, our paper-the outside of which
was worked off at the proper time-the
pile froze into a solid mass, and notwith-
standing every exertion of ours to get it
thawed, we have found it impossible to
do so until this afternoon, the Cd of
January. In the mean time we have re-
moved the press into the basement of our
new stone building, in the rear of our
former Office, fronting on Winthrop
street, where we hope we shall soon be
able to shut out the trost-king, and pre-
vent future delays of the paper from sim
liar causes.

numerous readers, the urgent solicitation of
friends, and the great want of such journal.
have been the inducing causes to prompt to the
continuance of its publication through another
Volume. The Publishers are cheered with the
hope. that as the commercial embarrassments of
the country have measurably subsidized, and as
the interest in Kansas news has continued to
increase until it has become the great exciting
topic of conversation in all the departments of
lite, they will be better sustained than hereto
fore in forwarding a work so eminently neces-
sary in the making of Kansas Free State
They are conscious that the local and metro
politan press are devoting much space to the
elucidation of Kansas affairs and yet it will
be borne in mind that such information thus
given to the public through those journals, in
most instances, is first CLEANED from the columns
from existence, and the intelligence impaired
by eastern journals would be meagre and near
ly valueless.
The HERALD OF FREEDOM is O large, hrSt-
class weekly journal, independent on all sub
jects, the organ of no party, nor clique, filled
almost exclusively with original matter, and
every column devoted either to the Freedom Of
Kansas, its History, Geography, or Geology /:
with articles on the soil, climate, face and
salubrity of the country its politics, religion,
morality, education and future prospects.
To the PIONEER, the paper will be Invaluable,
as it viii develop the esources OF the territory
and point cut desirable locations for settlement,
with information as regards tie different routes
to Kansas the distance and cost OF travel, and
the various articles he should bring with him
to his new home.
To the POLITICIAN and PHILANTHRoPIsT who
wish to keep fully advised in regard to the po-
litical and social movements of the country,
the HERALD OF FREEDOM will always be well
come visitor.
To the SETTLER IN KANSAS who wishes to act
intelligently, and who desires to be advised with
the movements of politics, and keep thoroughly
posted with passing events, the HERALD OF
FREEDOM will be indispensable.

Legal Process.

1t is not true that our people agreed to
submit to the laws of the barons in their
settlement with the Governor. On the
contrary, they said in so many words,
that neither party gave any opinion as
to the validity of the enactments of the
bogus Legislature. We agreed to sub
NIT to any legal process, but there is not
one man among US who believes the
enactments of that body to be legal );
hence anything originating from the
Courts organized by the Missouri mob,
were not effected in the least by the
terms of the settlement.
