The Late nIaaaanro.

The Los Angeles papers are filled with
statements of immigrants who have lately
arrived in that city from the Plains, rela-
tive the massacre Of the immigrants near
the rim Of the Great Basin. They confirm
the previous reports and implicate the
MOrmons in that horrible butcheFy. They
state that the Mormons and Indians are
acting together, that they are on the most
friendly terms, that the Elders have mar
ried the daughters Of the chiefs, and that
the MormOns furnish the savages with
arms and ammunition and direct them to
murder Americans whenever they have
an opportunity. The Mormons are pre-
pairing for war, and with the assistance Of
their Indian allies intend to give General
Harney battle: Brigham Young has de-
clared Utah "a separate and Independent
Territory, owing no obedience or allegi-
ance to any form or laws; but those Of his
own enactment" and has called upon the
Mormons and Indians to support him
against the United States. VIM Powers
attended church in San Bernardino, and
heard Gen. Hunt say in the pulpit, in allu-
ding to the terrible massacre, that the
hands of the Lord was in it.; whether it
was done by white or red skins, it was
rightw Mr. Matthews another Mormon,
said "the work had just begun, and it
should be carried OIL until Uncle Sam and
all his boys that were left, should come to
zion and beg for bread" This Matthews
is an Elder and an irreclalmable scOun-
drel-he could scarcely be the one with
out being the other. If the statements of
these immigrants be true, and VIC have
no reason TO doubt them, the General
Government will be forced to take some
speedy and decided steps to teach Brig
ham Young, his assassins, thieves, vaga-
bonds, harlots and Indian allies, that
Uncle Sam is powerful enough to protect
his children and punish his rebellious
subjects.

eel. The citizens Of FL Dorado and cs-
pecially Of PlaCerVillC, should second the
efforts Of the inhabitants Of the Valleys

The iron rule Of Brigham Young has re-
tardcd the settlement Of the proposed

The agents Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company in San Francisco, have, we arc in
formed, determined to "crush" every news

censure the consolidated monopoly for the loss
Of the four or five hundred people who perishcd
by the sinking Of tho George Law.-.StOcltOn

Ifthe agents have come to such sense
less determination, it is very evident the
fool killer will have big job on hand
when next he visits San Francisco. The
agents wifi have a "happy time" in
crushing newspapers, and the Company
may find it much easier to murder 400
passengers than to crush q single news
paper. 1t is time to put check to the
arrogance and lnsoicnce Of the agents Of
this Company. Another line Of steamers
should be established and patronizcd by
the Government and the public, and the
stockholders and minions Of tho old COM

CENSUS OF KANsAs.-An exchange says
that a "recent census Of the Free State
party of Kansas shows a population of
Il, 900, and about twenty free State set
tiers to one prosslavett. The number Of
males over 2l years ofagc exceeds $1,000. "
Thus it appears there are 20, $50 free State
to 1850 pro.slavery men in Kansas Is
II probable that 1850 men had more au-
thority, power and influence than 20, ,O0o?
that hopeless minority governed and
controlled, dictated to and mistrcatcd a
majority? Republican papers and Re-
publican orators, everywhere complained
of and pictured in lively colors the hard
ships and suffcrings of the free State men
Of Kansas. They literally supplied the
$4,000 with "Colts revolvcrs, Minnie
rifles and Bowie knives" but they either
did not know how or were afraid to use
them, for they ncekly succumbcd to 1900
Border Rufiians." If Kansas comes in
as q slave State, which these croakcrs
seem to deprccatc and anticipate, she
must do so with the consent and support
Of free State men. It Is left with them.
They have the power the votes to make
her either slave or free State, and with
them rests the responsibility The South
erncrs arc too weak to make hcadwdy
against such formidable opposition-too
few in Eumbcr to hold the balance of
pOwcr-net sufficiently strong even to
give the free State men the least annoy
ance. What have $4,000 men to fear

For SecretAry Of State, Gideon j. fuckers

ginccr, Van r. Richmond Attorney Gen
eral, Lyman Tremainc; State Prison In
spector, VIM. c. Rhoadcs; Judge Of the
Court of Appeals, Hiram Jones, State
Treasurer, Isaac e. VanderpoOl. The
Ecw York papers speak in high terms Of
the candidates and say it is strong tick
ct, and as the Democrats have united and
harmonizcd, they will sweep the State
Division and dissension In our own ranks
in the Empire State heretofore caused de-
feat. When our party was United it was
invincible. The once powerful American
party is disbandcd, the Black Republicans
are quarreling among themselves; and the
conservative and patriotic old line Wings
and Americans have United with the De-
mocracy, rendering their sttccess certain.
Since the Presidential election the Rcpub-
licaps have lost ground everywhere, the
" Freedom shrickcrS" have "dricd up"
and Bleeding Kansas" isno longer men
toned. The patriotic course Of President
Buchanan has disarmed all opposition, al
laycd all excitement, and given entire
satisfaction to the people. Principle has
triumphcd over fanaticism, statesmen
over dcmagogues, and the Democracy Of
