DESERET.

All accounts agree that there is m u ch
suffering in the Territory Of Utah on ac
count of the devastation committed by
tho grashoppers. A letter in the St.
Louis Republican, from party of re-
turned Californiaas who have reached
Independence, Mo. by the way of the
Salt Lake. says that provisions wer e
scarce and high, and much suffering was
experienced by the Mormons the pas,
year, many having lived on roots and
other such food. There are great
many very poor and degraded people
in tho valley. The Mormon authorities
are afraid of the United States troops
and have great difficulty in preventing
the woman from going off with them
when they leave. On the overland
route, buffalo were very numerous. Tho
Indians friendly, and the emigration To
California quite large. 1t is ascertain
ed that, at a point where the moth and
south roads meet, fifteen thousand cat.
tie have passed on the way west. All
the parties were in the enjoyment of
good health and spirits, and, from the
appearance of things on the road, would
go through with satisfaction to them.

The Eoreigh Vote in IOWA.

IOWA has turned over (says the
Washington O,yan) from Buchanan,
exchanging that one Democrat for the
other, Fremont. A despatch from the
capitol of the State says: :--..
"We Germans vere true as steel to
freedom, and LED THE VAN in the con-
test"
B@a, Can there be any doubt now
OF the wisdom of the American move
ment? Can Southern Democrats Ion
ger hesitate as to the course they ought
to pursue? IOWA is but the precur-
sor of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
&c. Even in st. Louis, Southern
city, the foreign vote has been given to
F. 2. Blair, .jr., who is as rabid Re-
publican as his father. Kentucky,
Louisiana and Texas will cast a large
Black Republican vote. Where is this
state Of things to end if not immodi-
atoly checked? The only practicable
mode Of checking the advance of the
Republicans is for the National Demo
Gratis to unite with the National Amer
leans upon Mr.. Fillmore, And such,
we are confident will be the case with
the rank and flo Of the National De-
mocracy, whatever may bethe decision

Yellow Fever In New York.

A New York correspondent of the
Boston Times, who signs himself "A
Now York Physician" writes:
There is no question about yellow fe.
YER being here. and to a considerable
extent; nor could it well be otherwise
under present circumstances. Every
day some infected ships arrive, aud
every day patients are landed from them
dead, aud dying. There is no quaran-
tine, nor any protection tn the city or
those who visit. What is called, the
quara ntine is only burlesqne. |, is
situated i'll the midst Of a crowded pop
ula,ion on Staten Island, who commun-
icate every hoar of the day with the
city from which the poor sick can be
seen and met as they are landed from
the ships. In addition to this, ,all the
employees Of the quarantine and those
at work on the infected ships, commun-
icato constantly with the population
outside, and pass up and down to the
city as often as they choose, on the
injected ships, communicate constantly
with the population outside, and pass
up and down to the city as often as they
choose, on tho crowded ferry-b oat.-
You pass them in the streets, meet them
In the shops, and at the stores To which
the goods from the ships are taken
Just. as they work, with their sinking,
injected clothing on, these men pass and
repass. Nay, more than this, many of
the physicians themselves, who attend
the yellow, fever patients inside tho
quarantine walls, come out daily and
attend their regular patients on the Is
land or in the city. The truth is not
told by the board Of health, and the facts
arc withheld.
People should not be deiuded here
to do business while this state of lhinga
lasts; 1t IS murderous to eutrap them
into such danger.

r1r. Fillmore's Trie nds.

The HForeign Democracy endeav-
or to produce the impression at the
North that Mr.. Fillmore has no strength
at the South, and therefore it is of no
use to support him, while atthe South,
they labor to prove that he has no
strength at tho North, and therefore
Southern men need not support him.
Inpolitics, il is. said, everything is fair,
but we trust that thinking people,
North and South, will not suffer them
selves to be deceived by any such mis-
representations. Wherever there is
any national conservative feeling, in
contra distinction to mere partisan sub
,eerviency, there are to be found the
friends of Mr.. Fillmore, without re-
gard to old party distinctions. aD
1t is not because he has been associ-
,atcd with any particular party that
they respect and honor him, but be-
cause he has overlooked all mere party
considerations, when the peace Of his
country was at stake, and did his duty,
and his whole duty, uncaring circum-
stances. An old line Wing finds that
he can consistently vote for the man of
the country, without compromising his
political principles in the slightest. =
So with an old line Democrat, who, in
these trying times, looks beyond mere
party name, and sees that whatever
may have been Mr.. Fillmore's former
party attachments, he goes for the
best interests of the country, and he
therefore can vote for him. With q
candidate such as this, it will be found,
when the proper time for action comes,
that Mr.. Fillmorc's friends are every
where, and on y await the proper occa-
sion to give an effective expression of
their sentiments.

ROMANISM.

The number of persons put to death
for conscience sake by tho Church Of
Rome. has been estimated, on appqr-
emily fair data, at upwards of fifty mil.
lions How insignificant do The cruel
ties of all other religionists appear in
comparison with this wholesale slaugh-
ter, extending over some twelve hum
dred years or more. Then the modos
of death resorted to by the Romish
priests have always been tho most in
iernal that their diabolical ingenuity
could suggest. Torture with them has
risen to the dignity Of an art, or rather q
science. That knowledge Of the hu.
man frame, which it was intended man
should make the means of extending the
moral and physical we'll being Of his
fellows, has been used by Romo to rem

to prevent even death from coming ear

The Northern Conservatives.

The following is a copy of letter
from G. B. W., dated Saratoga, Aug.
Is: .......
"The Wing Convention at Albany,
yesterday, was very enthusiastic and
large, and unanimous for Fillmore.
New York State is certain for Mr..
Fillmore, and every day he is growing
stronger. 1 only hope the Southern
people will support him. It will be
bad policy for them to support Buch-
anan, rest assured. For the National
party at the North would be discour-
aged, and afterwards go for tie North.
| really believe if the Fillmore people
Of the North were convinced the South
ern people would desert him and sup
port Buchanan, that Fremont would
sweep every Northern State.
"Fillmore is stronger at the North
than you imagine, and will carry seve-
raj Northern States. This State cer-
tainlg:
"Do tell your Southern friends,
while there is a good chance for Fill.
more, to rally in his support"
