Dissension Among the Utah Mormous--
The protection of the United States
Laws as an Escape from Brigham
Young's Tyranny.
Advces from Utah by way of Californ-
ia confirm the reports of dissension among
the Mormors, and the Supposition that
large number Of them will gladly exchange
Brigham YouDgs tyranny for the prolec-
ton of life and property which the author
tiles and the laws Of the United States
will afford them. ".ApoStacy' from Nor
monsm will become very common, if
not almost universal, after Brigham Young
shall be deprived of the prestige and the
authority which the federal government
has too long afforded him, by suffering
him to hold The office of Governor for seven
years-a and three years after the expira.
ton of his term. The Mormons might
well have been induced to believe that the
power of Brigham Young would be as per-
manent as his audacity, and that the fed
eral government would not presume to
interfere with or control him.
The California accounts Of Mormon
abuses are more revolving than any before
received from any quarter, showing, as
they do, that numbers of Mormons who
have been suspected of disafccton 10
wards Brigham Young's tyranny are daily
assassinaled by his corps of janissarles,
whom he calls "destroying angels" Ii
any part of these accounts be verified to
the United States authorities, Governor
Young ought to be, and it is presumed
will be, apprehended and punished for
felony and treason. tits not in the nature
of things that such institutions can con-
tinue. for they carry within themselves
the seeds Of their destruction; and the
deposition and punishment of Brigham
Young will no doubt disenthral the Nor
mons from The debasing system to winch
their leaders have subjected them.

THE RUNAWAY SLAVES Yesterday
we announced the elopement of three
slaves from Henry county, Kentucky, on
Sunday-the arrest of one, in lndIanla--
escape of the second, and death Of the
third, by being shot by VIM. Mead, one of
the pursuers. We have since learned
that an inquest was held on the body of
the murdered negro, and verdict rem
dered in accordance with the facts stated,
and that q requisition will he made on
the Governor of Kentucky, for Mead, on
the charge of Murder. We are also in
formed by Capt. Claxon, of CaIrollton,
Kentucky, that Mead, after pursuing one
of Sanford's negroes three hundred aids,
caught him; when an unknown elderly
white man approached Mead, with a rifle
threatening 10 kill him if be did not re-
lease the negro. Mead, having discharg
ed the contents of lis pistol previously,
when he killed the other negro, deemed
it best to obey the command, when the
fugitive disappeared in The woods. The
unknown intruder was supported in the
back. ground by young man, supposed
to be his son. Who they were, or where
they came from is still a mysery.--Cin-

Paris Tuesday. June l6. 1857.


4 Senator Sumner left here this
morning for London. The voyage was
of service to him but after his arrival he
became much worse and for some weeks
seemed likely 10 suffer relapse Un-
der the advice of his physicians he start
ell upon a tour through the South Of
France, and travelled good deal on horse
back amoung the Pyrenees, which he
found exceedingly beneficial, and he re-
turned to Paris week ago in excellent
health and spirits. He seems now almost
entirely restored. He has devoted him
self during his stay to studying the pol
ilics of France, in which he has had some
marked advantages. He has seen closely
and intimately all the leading men of
all parties. Immediately upon his arri.
val he dned with the members of the
Institute ,and has since visited Lamertine.
Gnizol, DeTocqLevilIe, Montalembert,
and others, who, though not now active-
actively connected with public life, are
still men of influence and of historical
celebrity.

EFTHE following is from a late issue

E.B HE luIIoWIIB 10 HoiH q law i'S"N
OF one Of the Cleveland papers:
DR.. Ross, one of the principal champ
ions of the divine right to enslave Atrl-
cans preached on Sunday in one of the
Presbyterian churches of this city. and
accidentally blundered upon an unpleasant
heresy in the opening hymn. The first
four verses went off Swimmingly, but, on
coming TO The fifth, the readers face turn
ed suddenly the color of blood beet, and
his voice sank almost to whisper
What was the matter The congrega-
ton referred to their hymnbooks, when
broad smile ran like wave OF mlrth all
over the household deacons bit their lips,
and strove 10 look grave, and the younger
class Of the congregation almost laughed
right out. The last uerSe pronounced a
curse apon the oppressor, aud Jretthed a
prayer for the suffering Oondman.-
Shades of the supreme court and the
fugitive law, what position was that for
a minister who openly contends that sla
vely is of God, and sanctioned and SAN
Gifted by Heaven! The reverend gen.
ileman was for moment nonplussed-
the situation was uncommon tight-but
he rallied, and proved himself equa! to
the occasion, by shouting to the singers,
with face like an Indian summer sunset
after storm, "Iou wiH omit the fifth
VerSp."

THE DEFALCATIoN QUEsTIoN.-The
great question of "what has become of the
peoples money is gradually being ans
wered 1t is not owing, however, to any
exertion of the part of either Mr.. Breslin
or Mr.. Gibson. A late article headed the
Greensborough Bank" published in the
Denton (Md.) journal, exposes the trans
actions of Mr.. BresIin as a Wild Cat
Banker, 1t certainly presents picture
of very promising aspect, so far as the
Democratic Treasurer is concerned. In
the first place, $4,000 are taken from
the Ohio State Treasury to start swim
ding concern in Maryland--. --.$l5, 900
more being needed, the notes of Memphis
Bank, worth 40 cents on the dollar, are
put in to make up the defct, and render.
ed of par value by being redeemed from
the cash investment before referred to-
This then by this curious mode of fuanc'
iering, became $40, ,OOO-the amount that
was needed for starting the "Bank ol
Greensborough." Without giving any
further details, we hold this sufficient &c
prove the rascally propensity of one o.
the parties connected with the late de(aI'
cation. Mr.. Morgan, late Auditor oI
State was we'll aware of The deIalcalion O.
Mr.. Breslin, ..and often declared that he
was as corrupt as hell or words TO tha
effect. As for Mr., Gibson, we still ad'
here to our belief that he must be party
to the dolalcalon. His duty was plain az
10 his discovery of Breslin's deficiency,
and unless he was strongly interested he
would have exposed it.

To the Americans and Republicans Of
Jefferson County.

AT a meeting composed of an equal
number of Republicans and Americans,
held in Steubenvlle, late in the month Of
May last, after a full and free exchange of
views upon the difIerant political issues
Of the day, II was resolved to constitute a
corresponding committee, Of two mem.
bers from each party, which was accor-
dingly done, and by said committee the
following letter was printed and sent a
broad, through The county.
STEUBENvILLE, June Isl, 1857.
DEAR SIR:
We take the liberty of
writing to you, respecting the political
campaign just upon us Americans and
Republicans have counseled together, and
have agreed to unite in opposeing the fI-
libustcring, pro'slavery administration at
Washington, and all its supporters. Up
on this basis large majority of the in,
dependent voters Of Jefferson county can
stand. We have the power, ant nothing
but divisions and dissentons amongst
ourselves can place that power in The
hands of THE MINORITY. United in SEN
timent upon all essential principles involv'
ed in the campaign, we ough; to unite in
action to defend these principles.
Will you, without delay, consult with
Americans and Republicans in your
Township, to establish that harmony and
union. which We are happy TO believe,
now exists in our Township. After such
conference, please write to us what the
feeling is among the friends of the good
cause. When harmoay is properly estab-
lished, a Convention will be called, and
without separate organizations, but in
Common Council, we will place in nom.
inston such a ticket as this harmony will
enable us 10 elect.
We are informed that similar action
will be taken throughout the State, and
Ohio will, therefore, again record heI
vote in opposition to the principles and
measures OF the slave oligarchy, these
Freebooters, and their plant tools and
willing advocates amongst us-THE SLAVES
Ar PAPAL INFLUENcE.
Ii this good work we ask your prompt
and hearty 'co-opcralion. HopeIng to

DR. J. G. AVER, the world renowned
Chemist of New England, is now stopping
at the Burnet house in this city. He has
been making tour of tho Western States,
with his scientific associates, TO investi-
gate their remedial productions, or such as
he can make remedial. We notice he has
been received with marked distinction by
our leading citizens of the West and are
rejoiced to find they have shown proper
estimate of the man who has perhaps done
more for the relief of human ills than any
other American.--Daily Journal, Clncin-

B@-The New York Times predicts a
fall in the price of sugar. Just now,
there is concerted movement among the
spectators 10 keep it up,-but it will not
avail:
''The prospects for a full crop are
highly encouraging. The high prices
which Fave ruled the past two years have
stimulated production, while they have
caused dimnution of consumption. and
the natural consequences are. increasing
stocks and tendency to lower prices
Besides, the crop Of Louisiana promises
to be nearly four times greater than it was
