The statue of Gen. Warren was within

Et mon Affairs. ~-
The subjoined article from the Washington
Union OF the 9th inst, is presumed to express
the convictions of the President:
L. That the Mormon legion is composed of
some five or six Thousand indifferently armed
men, including few squadrons of cavalry
about as well drilled and as effective as the Or
binary militia of the States.
z. That the MOrmons rfdicule the idea of
the Federal Government sending an armed
force to the Territory to EXECUTE the laws.
8. That Brigham YOung's commands az
the head of the Church, are omnipotent with
all good Mormons, and hence the resistance
to the United States.
A. That the presence of one thousand Uni
ted States troops in the Territory would Sc
cure obedience to the laws, and that no resis-
lance would be made by the MOrmons to so
large force.
5. That it is undoubtedly true that there is
a serious detection among the MOrlaOns, and
that if the dissatisfaction could be protected
by United States authorities they would glad
ly serve their connection with the church and
its head.
q. That Salt Lake City bears the outward
evidences of Mormon oppression, and that
business of all kinds is literally at stand
still" Many who desire to leave for the
States cannot do SO for want of means.
I. That not more than fifty "Gentiles
were in the Territory, and although it was for
hidden that they should be supplied with the
necessaries of life, they were enabled to pro-
cure provisions through the cnpidity of some
OF tie less scrupulous of the Saints
.: That Brigham Young admitted that he
could, by word, have prevented his followers
from violating the laws of the United States
but that he did not choose to interfere, and
wouldnot interfere.

your Great Father. You have done your
duty well, and we will now do ours by pay
ing you the reward promised. Your Great
Father here will speak to you. He is going
to Washington, where he will see the Great
Father Of all the Red Children, and when
he tells him Of your acts it will make his
heart glad.
GOV. MEDARY's SPEECH.
My Red Children, I am happy to meet you
for learn that you have done good work.
You have brought back the young white girl
who was taken by those bad Indians, whose
conduct l am glad to learn you disapprove
of. We shall endeavor to restore her to such
of her relatives as we may be able to find
As you have risked your lives in Ibehalf of a
white person, l hope my white children will
risk theirs in your behalf should an opportu:
nifty occur.
| we'll understood the danger of sen ding
white men out to capture these prisoners.
They would be as apt to kill friends as enc.
mics and in the end do more harm than good,
While l knew that Inkpadutah and band
should be punished, I thought it my duty to
save these women. You are deserving of
the thanks Of all good whites in the United
States. I hope all friendly Indians will hold
no Intercourse with Inkpadutah His band
are outlaws and murderers, alike the ene-
MES of the whites and the friendly Indians,
and they should be extermina led.
l shall convey to the Great Father in
Washington, in person, tidings of the good
deed you have done, and urge upon him the
necessity of faithfully fulfilling all promises
made to you. shall say to him you desire
to live like white men in houses, and have
churches and schools and cultivate the soil
that you desire to keep peace with the neigh
boring Indian, and that you do not wish the
Yanctons and Red River Half Breeds to be
at war along our territorial frontier-all
these things will 1 convey to the Great
Father in Washington.
Again thank you for restoring this white
girl, and when my Red Children shall be
found in distress, hope the whites will ex-
ercise those Christian duties that you have
performed. We shall take the girl, then,
and all the rewards promised shall be made.
PRESENTATION OF HEAD-DREsS.
Maj. FLANDREAU exhibited an Indian wal
head-dress, which the Yancton Indians had
sent to Gov. MEDARY, with desire for him
to present in public manner on their be-
half to Miss GARDINER as token of their
pacific intentions towards her and the other
white people. The presentation was then
made by Gov. NJ.
This hesddress somewhat resembles pea
cock when he has his tail spread Maj Elan
dleau told the Indians they would be paid for
their services and sacrifices in the afternoon,
when the Council broke up.
As Ma-za-cu-ta mini took his leave of Miss
Gardiner he wished her when she prayed to
the Great Spirit to remember the poor Indian.
We learn that the Indians were paid 81 900
for bringing in Miss Gardiner the same as
was paid for the ransoming of Mrs. Marble,
besides the expenses of their outfit for their
journey, &c.-in all amounting to $500 or
$4,000.

A Few Thoughts.

Now the election is over, We may offer
few thoughts for the good of the future. 1t
has been said with much truth that Mime
sofa is Republican. The returns from the
Southern districts show with how much
truth it has been said with regard to them,
and the question about the results in the
more Northern portions may be discussed,
we hope with profit.
The Sham Democracy elected five of their
delegates in Dacota County. We must
therefore regret exceedingly that Dacota is
to be looked upon as Democratic County
Yet. such reputation does not belong to
her. We venture to assert that she too is
Republican. From what may be gathered
from the well known intriguing of the party.

odd ends-sOme Of them gerry odd-and there
by gained almost a complete victory.
A day or two before the election on Mon
day the LIST inst. friend of the true cause
made toursthrough the County. He found
scores of men who were not aware of the
approaching electOn-men tried and true,
some who knew, but had not reflected upon
the great Importance of it. 1t was not alb
solute ignorance, but constant attention to
domestic affairs, that had wooed their minds.
lie generally found them right upon the i'm
portant questions, agitating the public mind.
[ speak here a certain truth which may be
further substantiated By examining the
returns of interior precincts it will be found
that hardly one polled SO large vote as it
was capable of doing, and that vote was the
Democratic vote of the precinct, showing
that the Republican voters were not all pres
ent. Now then to conclusion; some on the
Democratic ticket were elected by small
majority, therefore had the true men come
out-as they were in duty bound to dot
is confidently believed that the entire ticket
would have gone by the board. Why, sirs,
one upon that ticket passed in by only seven
or eight majority; can count that num-
Der within two miles, who did not attend
the polls-I say it to their shame, they knew
it-and who would have voted the Republi-
can ticket if they had been there! We re-
joice however that the Republicans were not
SO sluggish every where.
We ask our readers to compare the two
tickets and say which of the two party of
delegates are most fit for the Convention
