nounced, and suppressed
But why has the Union resolved upon this
course? Does it not insnuate by its DECLARE
tions, when considered in connection with its
course in former years that the rowdyism of
this day is of its own political complexion, and
therefore 1T will not condemn it, Certainly il
does; and in that insinuation it inhicts Judas
like stab on the Democracy, which does far
more to injure theparty, than all its efforts in
its favor can counter balance For ourselves
we denounced ruffanism when it protested to
be anti-Democratic, and denounce it now when
ii processes to be Democratic-and mean always
to denOunce it, and to aid to our fullest ability
in scourging it out of this community, no matter
what cloak it assumes or under the cover of
what party name it seeks protection and indul-
gence.

PRESIDENT PROCLAMATIoy.-Unde date
of April 9th, President Buchanan issued his
proclamation to the people of Utah but it has
not until recently been made public After
briefly summing up the violations of law and
order of which the Mormons have been guilty,
and showing that they have driven the General
Government to take active measures agains t
them, the President continues:
''This rebellion is not merely violation of
your legal duty; ii is without inst cause with
out reason. without excuse You never made a
complaint that was not listened to with patience.
You never exhibited real grievance that was
not redfessed as promptly as it could be The
laws and regulations enacted for your govern
ment by Congress have been equal and lust ard
their enforcement was manfestly necessary for
your own welfare and happiness. You have
never asked their repeal. They are similar i'm
every material respect to the laws which have
been passed for the other territories of the Union
and which every where else with one partial ey-
ception) have been chee.fully obeyed No peo-
pie ever lived who were freer from unnecessa nv
legal restraints than you. Human wisdom never
devised political system which bestowed more
blessings or imposed lighter burdens than the
government of the United States in its operation
upon the territories
" But being anxious to save the effusion of
blood, and to avoid the indiscriminate punish
ment OF whole people for crimes Of which il is
not probable that all are equally guilty, offe r
now full and free pardon to all who will SUBJ
init themselves to the authority of the Federal
government II you refuse to accept it. let the
consequences fall upon your own heads But |
conJure you to pause deliberately and reflect well
before you reject this tender Of peace and good
will ,;
The President then declares that the warlike
operations commenced will not cease until the
Mormons become subservient to the law.
NoMINATED.-We have news by telegraph
of the nomination. by the Administration Dem
ocratic State Convention, at Springfield III.
OF John Dougherty, for the Office of State Urea
surer, and John Reynolds, for that of Superin-
tendent of Public Schools 1t is said around
US that these gentlemen are among the most
active Democratic opponents of Senator Dou-
glas in Illinois. If so, their nomination looks
like the prospective prolongation of the split
in the Democratic party in Illinois growing out
of the Kansas imbroslio, which is sincerely to
be regretted.
