Alarming Indications.

We do not know as Mr. Buehanan's
warmcst opponent ever charged him with
a lack of ordinary morality, OF Of personal
disregard Of public dccency. But there
arc some indications Of lamentablc lack
Of frmness on his part hv which most
--r-- -L-.-v,ers are elevated to posts
of honor and influence
Conspicuous among the Marshals at the
recent Presidential Inauguration, was Mr..
Bernhsisal of Utah-the open, shameless
advocate and practicer Of those beastialit-
les which make the plains eff Utah worthy
to rank with Sodom and Gomorrah. In a
civilized, Christian country, he would be
hisscd out OF society, and incarceratek in
a prison for bigamy. In the latter-day
Democratic party Gin consideration of the
unanimous Mormon vote FOR Buchanan
he is paraded as grand Marshal, for yir-
tuous wives and daughters to gaze upon
to reconcile aud familarizc the people to
this most degrading vice-and to warn
preachers of the pure Gospe; cf Christ that
by the time of another Presidential cam.
paisn POlysamy will bo political aud
must Oike Slavery or Border Rufhanism)
never be preached against in the pulpit.
1t may be objected that this was not
Mr.. Buchnnan's, but his par'y's work.
But they surely would do nothing risking
an offence to the dispenser of patronage,
and they found they could safely concili-
ate Mormonism without offending him.
But Mr.. Buchanan can not shirk upon
his friends the responsibility of HIS OWN
appointment of Isaiah Rynaers as Marshal
Of New York. This man is the notorious
Captain Of the infamous "Empire Club
Of New York city-a gang of political
desperadoes who would confer no honor
upon the inside of prison walls. Rynders
openly advocates Fillibustering, and pre-
sides at the meetings of friends of piracy.
From New York, most of the slave ships
and modern bucchaneer expeditions arc
secretly fitted out. The Marshal selects
the Jurors for the trial of those Offences.
Now imagine such a man invested with so
great power in.that particular place in
these peculiar times. and it looks much
like deliberate attempt to give practical
liberation to all those crimes. Buchanan
knows this man well, and his selection of
him for that most important post is very
glaring exhibition of his utter want of the
frmness requisite to the station, or Of even
ordinary political honesty
Geo. n. Sanders, the new Navy Agent
at New York, is also a noted Fillibuster.
ANOTHER "UNIoN SAvER."-It was
hoped that last election finished the dis.
gusting cant about Saving the Union"-
but no, Windy Packer must Save it next
fall, and that notorious Office hunter, Bob
Walker, only conlescends to be Governor
OF Kansas for the "safety of the Union
SO buchanan says, and he coincides-and
therefore the "Union is to be saved'' this
summer by delivering Kansas legally up
: to Slavery.
John Menges, of Lycoming county, and
Elijah Gemberling, of Snyder county,

D., on the charge Of counterfeiting, we're
