STATE EEcIIoN,-The 71sune issues flaming
niger msoifesto-niggers fror, the beginning 70
the end, and nothing but nigyers--calliog upon
the "1reemen of New York" to prepare for the
State election. The Issues thus presented Ne:-
"The slave power" bleeding Kansas, "the PIE
tended Constitutional Convention inteut on b,ing-
ing her into the Union as slave State" "the
bred Scott decision" Mr.. Buchauan's letter to
the Connecticut silly men, "John Mitchell" and
''the African slave trade" the Lennon slave
case snd the Brooks assault upon Senator
Sumner.
Upon these niger specifications the 'fceemen
Of New York are implored to elect their State
officers, legislative members &C., next Tuesday,
when, in point Of fact, the "freemen Of New
York" in this election will have no more to do
With the affairs Of Kansas, bred Scott, the Sum-
ner assault, John Mitchell, or the African slave
trade than with the question OF the anne xation
Of Cuba, or the proposed flibustering return of
General Walker to Nicaragua
The real Issues for our New York Tuesdays
election are not Kansas. for that bushes. is sub.
posed CT, nor the Sumner assault, nor the Lem
mon cate, Tor the African slave trade,
but the practissl Issues of munisipal liberty, or
legislative expressions upon locsl aud popular
rights; retrencbncnt and reform in our State ex-
penditures, or the continuance of the spoils and
plumber coruptior Of the Seward stock and lob
by jobbers at Albany. Nor is it the DECISION Of
Judge Taney, but the decision of Judge DEMO
that the free men of New York" will have to
deal with on Tuesday; nor is it the Kausas pro-

q mere farce, under the operation Of popular
sovereignty" in Kansas, BIT the black republican

THE FUsIoSs AID CONFUSION or PAarIEs.-The
fact that the late great A,nerican party
Of New York is In the market, and.
selling of to. the highest bidder, throws
The results Of cur November election into
delightful state of confusion. In this city
a treaty Of amalgamation between the Know
Notbings and republicans has been concluded,
the ratification Of which may involve some very
interesting developments Of the strength Of the
united democracy and the weakness Of an at
tempted mixing Of oil and water. In the iute.
rior, also, similar movements for Know No.
thing and republican combination have been
started here and there; but upon the whole, as
far as he Legislature is concerned, the rank and
file Of the Know Nothing party throughout the
State arc adrift, asd the bulk Of them will most
PROBABLY, in the rural districts cooperate with
The democracy to secure new order OF things
Q. Albany. IL is this view of tho subject no
doubt, which las frightened Greeley into his
late conviction that the State may be lost And
let the democracy imitste the energy Of their
party in Ohio, and they make good the fears Of
Massa Greeley.

Tue MILK MovEMESr-yERIFrcATIoS OF
WEIGHTS AND MEAsuREs.-We see that meet.
ings have been recently held by the milk
dealers Of this city in reference to AZ increase
os freight prices on some Of the railroads. and
resolutions have been adopted fixing the retail
price OF that commodity at seven cents per
quart. We think that supplementary reso-
luton might with great advantage have been
adopted 10 the effect that from and after the
second of November, when the nc v price is to &c
into effect, all quart measures shall hold quart
II such resolution were passed and we're oh.
served, consumers would have the article, not
withstanding the nominal rise, fully twenty. five
rer cent cheaper than they now have, for, unror-
tunatey all the quart measures now In use in that
busness do not hold on The average three fourths
Of that quantity.
Some short time since similar movement was
also made by the milk dealers The Harlem
Railroad Company increased Its rates Of freight
one cent per gallon; and az measure Of self
protection the milk dealers put up the price a
cent per quart, quadruplo the increase OF freight
No matter where the milk came from, even
though II were from the up town distlleries, the
price was raised because the Harlem road raised
Its charges for freight Now the Erie Railroad
makes move in the same direction, aud, with
the same logical propriety, all the milk Fold in
| the city must he paid for at an additional in.
crease Of cent per quart We do not know
whether the prime cost Of the article docs not
vary as that Of all Other commodities does; but II

that market. The dealers have ell the aiyan.

tie guar. measures used u tis retail basinefs
were made to hold qusTt, the community would
not grumble 1t tic price. Ordinances cannot
perhaps be 30 framed e. to apply to the quality
Of any article cold, unless It be altogether INF.
for human consumption. But ordinances could
easily be framed to prevent and punish frauds IN
weights ana measures The English 81 stem in TIA.
respect might be followed with great ad vantage.
There Is an inspector Of weights and measures
in each locality, whose duty it is to Inspect at
short intervals the weights and measures ueed by
dealers, to ascertain that they come up to the
regular standard, and to place . stamp upon
them as certificate Of their gcnuineness. And
then there are severe penalties Inflicted for fall
styling these weights and measures after they are
stamped, or for using any that are unstamped
In this way The poor are protected ftom dishonest
dealers so far, at least as quantity is concerned
If we had State Legislature or Common
Council that would frame and have enforced such
laws for the protection of the poor, there would
be q very considerable saving in all households.
Az il IL, there Is no sort Of protection or guaran-
tee against fraud In the article Of coal alone i!
is estimated that ahe anaua! saving to she con-
sumers IN this city which would be effected BY a
sanitary Law ensuripg full weight would be half
a million Of dollars Tais is the time for inau
gurating euch wholesome measures. II is hard
in such times as these to see the poor cheated on
all hands. AZ we cannot hope for all dealers to
agree to be hone st. 1t is the dtty of governments
to enforce hcaesty as much a. possible We
should like very much to see that duty perform
ed in this city.

CTAH.-We published in Wednesdays HERALD,
from the Desere ystrs reports of speeches made
in Great Salt Lake City by Brigham Young,
Keber Kimball and Elder John Taylor The lat
ter bad but recently arrived there from New
York. The speeches were in reference to the
actien of the generelgovernment in tie matter
Of Utah, and to the military expedition now on
its way there; and If these speeches were
to be taken as fair indication of the sent
ments Of The Nor mons, open rebellion on
their part might be expected Kimbail, who
is the greatest BOBBY sna greatest fanatic among
the heads of the church; told his hearers that if
ed as Governor, they were all sure to 90 70 hell
that they were the people of Deseret, and that
it was for themto say whether they would have
Brigham Young as their Governor, or the poor
miserable devil (allndips to Col. CummingJ that
the army was bringing there-that be (Ki-,SalD
was Lieutenant Governor and Chief Jus.
tce Of Deseret and intended TO con-
tinue in those positions-and he courselled
even TIE women to arm. themselves with dicks,
pistols, or other instruments Of war. Brigham
Yourg,s speech was much more moderate in tone,
and did no. extend beyond generalties as TO the
God OF heaven fighting their battles for them
and bringing them OF victorious. The troops,
he sid, did not know The Mormon character; If
they lid they would rot come to fight them.
This remark was probably meant to PREF re the
way for his backing down from the rebellious at
titude at first assumed, and eounsellng obedience.
Nevertheless, q despatcb-from Washington repre-.
sen.s Capt. Van ylet Just returned from Utah,
as reporting that Brighsm really intends to make
war upon the army end, il necessary, to burn
and destroy every thing in she Territory
We adhtr re, however, 10 our conviction that the
Saints will not show eight Col. Cumming will be
rsaceably installed aud recognized as Governor,
and the United Statoe Judges will enter quietly
on the administration Of the laws. These Nor
mons have been too long permitted to have their
own way in Utah; md now, as they would say
themselves, they have waxed fat and kick.
Bat let them indulge in as much brsggadocio as
they choose in their iabernacles, they will not
dare to offer any open resistance to the regularly
constituted authorities OF the United States SO
far as petty annoyances and indignities 60, the
Governor and Judges may possibly be for Tins
subjected 10 them. But after come time they.
viii come TO be respected, and most Of the MGR
mons who arc now subjected to the worst sort Of
religious and political despotssn, will avail tbon-
selves Of the opportunity Of breaking loose from
the church. IN this way we expect TO sec the
Mormon imposture eventually broken up, and
that disgrace to our government removed forever
