Effect Of the Emancipation Movement I'm
Missouri.

1t is generally understood that there
has been an Unprecedented emigration
to Missouri during the present season,
and that simultaneously wit, the influx
OF population there has been a very con-
siderable rise in real estate, both in towns
and III the country. This change for the
better III the fortunes Of the State is as
cribcd by the st. Louis Dcn,orrot in n
great measure to the " Emancipation"
movement inauguratcd at the last session
of the Missouri Legislature, and carried
stu further forward by the election of
Mayor Winner. 1t is well known to
all owners aud purchasers Of real estate"
says the Dcnlrcrat, "that the sales this
spring have been thrco-fold as great, and
at greater increase of price, than ever
before obtained in this city. The same
is true of the State. Never has there
been such demand for Missouri lands.
aid never before have such prices been
obtained as during the present spring"
1t is the belief Of the writer that this
movement toward substituting free for
slave labor has already added thousands
to the population, and mii,ions to the
wealth Of the State This important
result has been brought about by mere
declaration Of sentiment, without hint
OF present legislation on the subject. 70
strong hold has the idea obtained upon
the public mind, that our cotemporary
would not be surprised TO see emancipa-
tion brought about in one.half the time
II was thought would be required when
the movement was first eomm7peed =

Mr.. EDITOR You will doubtless
recollect, that more than a year ago the
citizens Of Upton and vicinity held .
meeting At the. Court House, for the pur-
pose Of taking steps to secure h. h.
connection with the Miss. 4 No. n. r.,
east of Cedar River. Muscatine had, in
that meeting large delegation of her
business men, with view to consamma-
ting that connection ut given point, and
that point Wilton; the people here had
no objection to the point named, provid-
cd the NJ. 4 NJ. Co. SO decided. The
Muscatine delegation told us to go on and
raise 5000 and the balance should be
forthcoming, and the Brunch Road to
Upton would be put under contract and
speedily completed to this place. Our
money was raised and preferred; but from
that time to the present the project re-
mains where it did then, and is likely to:
Very recently report reached us that
the City of Davenport had voted the sum
Of $3.50, 900 to aid in building the Cedar
Valley Road via. Upton, and if the NJ.
& NJ. Co. refused to take hold of the
subject matter of constructing the same,
then, in that case, new Company would
be organized to build the road from Du-
rant via. Upton to Cedar Rapids, &C.;
but, alas, that scheme has ended in con.
fasion-the harp is again on the piNo,c.
1t is clear to our mind that we need not
look in that direction for sympathy, aid
or comfort; all such demonstrations arc
dust in our eyes. No Southern connec-
ton need be looked for as long as We are
compelled to wagon our products to those
markets. Under all these circumstances
what is to be done? Simply this, to
bend all our energies and means to secure
an eastern outlet or connection with the
Road now being built through our coun.
ty. We have paid tribute to the south,
ern Caesars long enough, let us go to
work like rational men, and as we have
got to find the money in any event to get
a road, raise it and expend it under the
supervision of our own men and of our
own choice; this will be sensible The
great guns from abroad have been in SER
vice too long to be used with any safety
they are flawey-they are breech-burnt
they are unsafe--thercfor let them
alone. CEDAR.

TIP II o "
The Administration View Of Mormon
Affair.

AM01HSs
The subjoincd article from the WASH
ington Union Of the 9th instant, is pre-
sumed to express the convictions of the
President. From the statements of a
Government official who arrived direct
from Salt Lake City in Washington on
the evening of the 9Th, and from other
information, the organ of the Admins
tration derives the following conclusions
in reference to the condition of affairs in
Utah: -# gEEr~~~ =
l. That the Mormon legion is CON-
posed of some FIVE or six thousand indif-
ferently armed men, including few
squadrons of cavalry, about as well drilled
and as effective as the ordinary militia Of
the States.
2. That the Mormons ridicule the idea
Of the Federal Government sending an
armed force to the Territory to execute
the laws. -..~.... .... .... .... ..s.... +"
8. That Brigham Young's commands,
as the head Of the Church, are omnipo.
tent with all good Mormons, and hence
the resistance to the United States.
=. 4 Hat tac pLeoCACC vi OuC 1houcohu
United States troops in the Territory
would secure obedience to the laws, and
that no resistance would DO made by the
Mormons to so large force. -.
5. That it is undoubtedly true that
there is a serious detection among the
Mormons, and that if the disaffected could
be protected by United States authori-
ties, they would gladly sever their con-
nection with the church ard its head.
6. That Salt Lake City bears the out
ward evidences of Mormon oppression,
and that business Of all kinds is literally
at a stand-still." Many who desire to
leave for the States cannot do so for the
want of means.
7, That not more than fifty "Gentiles'
were in the Territory, and although il
was forbidden that they should be sup.
piled with the necessaries of life, they
We're enabled to procure provision.
through the cupidity of some of the less
scrupulous of the saints.
8. 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 would not interfere.

On Friday last, in accordance with
previous arrangements, the Lodge of
Good Templars at this place held their
celebration, which we must say was a
very pleasant affair. The members as
scmbled at their hall at 10 o'clock, and
were escorted by the "Tipton Guards
Band to Knots Grove, where every
thing was in readiness. They carried
with them their new banner, which was
splendid article, and was very credit
able to the Indies who got it up, and also
to MIR Metz, the artist, who painted it.
One side was blue silk, on which was in
scribed in gold leaf, Dew Drop Lodge
of Good Templars, No. Il" The other
side was of white silk, beautifully orna-
mentcd with rich border of antique
painting, in the centre of which was a
representation of the Holy Bible, with
the motto, Faith, Hope, and Charity"
AT the Grove, the Lodge and visitors
assembled around the stand or rostrum
prepared for the speakers, when the ser
vices opened by a song from the ladies,
followed by prayer from the chaplain
Next followed a medley song by the
Lodge. Misses Parsons and Wood.
two young ladies, then read their essays,
prepared for the occasion, doing credit
to themselves, and winning admiration
from all present. Declarations followed
by Messrs lsenheart, Kincade, and others
Samuel Chambers then read an ESSAY pre-
pared by himself, which was delivered
with force and ability. Samuel quite
out-done the most sanguine expectations.
The closing part of the programme at
the stand was an address from oursclf.
delivered with the usual confidence, and
remarkable for nothing but its extreme
length.
