Elections.

The late elections all over the country are
attempted to shoulder Lecompton they are
Overwhelmingly defeated; and wherever
they Regulated that issue they have gained
on the republicans. 1t was SO in this city,
in Joliet, in Springfield, &c.
At Dubuque, city which has for the last
four years always given from FIVE to seven
hundred majority, the democrats shou!dered
the Lecompton issue, and were beaten 500.
In ST. Louis they were beaten 500 under
the same circumstances. Even in jefferson
City, No, the free sellers have triumphed
by a vote Of . to l. Ditto in Milwaukee, a
city hitherto always good for eco democrat
ic majority. Ditto in Cincinnati, ditto Con
necticut, which last year was almost re-
deemed-which last year elected two demo
cratic members Of Congress, and fell short
less .han 500 votes Of eIeciing n Democratic
Governor, has gone anti-Lccompton by over
three thousand. The two Democratic MEN,
bcrs from that State voted for Lecomptcn.
AMI the State Convention endorsed tine
fraud-the result Is the defeat Of the party.
The democracy of the north must repudi-
ate that test or the party goes on; Of exist
ence. With such a lead TO carry, the de
moeracy would in three years De without a
senator or representative in congress from
the north. We believe even in Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee the democratic
party would break down under the load.

question shall ice forever put al rest.
We know that this will bs claimed by the
enemies Of the Democratic party as a de-

in that light. We know that Mr. Mon'yom

Important from Washing,on.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The Washington
correspondence Of the Herald says: The plan
now entertained on the Administration side
is for the Senate to receds from its disagree-
ment, and then to amend Crittenden's sub
stitute with the view to possible accomno
dation This movement, however, will de-
pend on further Developments.
Mr.. Badger, Of North Carolina, is here,
and says Mr.. Gilmer's district will sustain
him in opposition t. Lecompton.
Mr.. Toombs says that the defeat Of Ls-
compton will load to an organized demon
straton in the South but James l.. Vellig-
now, distinguished gentleman from South
Carolina, writes to Mr.. Crittenden that the
masses Of the southern people cordially
adopt his proposition.
1t is now shown that Secretaries Cobb and
Thompson, and Senator Toombs are the
southern agents alluded to by Senator Iver-
son as having advised Calhoun to certify that
there was frce-State Legislature in Kansas.
Enough is known to warrant the assertion
that Gov. Powell and Major McCuiOch,
Peace Commissioners to Utah, will be in
s;ructed to assure the Mormons that it is
not the desire of the PRESIDENT and United
States authorities to make war upon them,
but to secure the enforcement or the laws, to
which end they will be counseiled to parti-
oipatc. The Commissioners will also inform
them that some troops will be retained in
the Territory to protect tho emgrants to the
pacific against the attacks Of hostile Indians
The Commissioners will 60 with the next
reinforcement to Utah.
NEW York, March 3l.-A letter from
Washington states that Mr.. Bernhisel, dele
gate from Utah, has presented to the House
Committee on Territories, constitution
framed by the people of Utah, with tine re-
quest that the Territory be admitted Is a
State under it. This constitution was
framed in 1856.

come most critical. lie has lost the sight OF

Ex-Judge Loring, of Ma. sachusctts, it is
said, is appointed L. 5. Sub-Treasurer OF
Boston.
The receipts Of the Treasurer were nearly
million dollars. The amount subject to
draft is over xix d half million dollars.
Drafts were issued amounting to a million.
WASHlSGroS. April 5.-The appointment
of Persiier f. Smith as first in command OF
the Utah expedition has exasperated GeD.
Harvey. The War Department, was be
sieged by Harney's friends to-day, who wish
him appointed t. separate command else
where. There is great excitement on the
subject.
Negotiations are again entertained here
for the purchase al Sonora and other " vi

FRos UTAH.-New York, April 5.-The
Herald has two weeks later advices from the
army, and Utah dates being to the 10th of
February. Health of the army good. The
march upon Salt Lake City would probably
commence about the Goth Of March. Grass
on the plains is advanced "a far as /, was in
Nav last year. Several hundred recruits
{. ON New York arrived at Fort Leavenwo rth
previous to the 29,h of March, and prepa-
rations for early forwarding reinforcements
to the army were active. Col. Hotfman's
command Of four companies had been met
four hundred miles west of Fort Leayen-
worth.
Col. Johnson's supplies would last no
longer than the LIST of May, but there were
at Fort Laramie four months supplies for
500 men, and it was intended to send on a
train from that point to camp Scott as early
as possible. Col. johnson now proposed to
enter Salt Lake City at some point north Of
Echo Canon.
St. Louis, April 5-The Utah mail which
left camp Scott March LIST, has arrived. The
troops continued in fine health and were
anxiously waiting the determination of the
commander to proceed to Salt Lake. Col.
johnson had a regular effective force of 1900
men, and thousand animals in good condi-
ton, together with a large volunteer force,
and the general impression was that he
would not wait for reinfercements before
making an attack.
Communication with Salt Lake City is en-
tirely prohibited, and lit:le or nothing is
known of the intentions or preparations of
the Mormons to resist the entrance of the
troops Col. Johnson's dispatches will be
forwarded Immediately to Washington.

-WHIsEEY.-A paragraph in another
part of to-day's paper shows that the ladies
of Tonica, in this county, recently declared
war on the whskey shops in that village,
and pretty effectually cleaned them out
We notice, also, that the ladies of Plano, in
Kendall county, some two weeks ago, served
the rumse!iers in that town the same shabby
trick. Such measures are high-handed,
lswless, and not TO be approved; but the
rumsellcr should also have the coed sense
and decency not to drive his ruinous traffic
in community where the public sentiment
is so strongly against hirn as to sustain such
measures to get rid of him.

The Democratic Mns. Meeting.

Our democratic friends throughout the
county must not forget that on Tuesday next
occurs the democratic mass meeting called
for the purpose OF selecting delegates to the
approaching State Convention. This meet
ing we conceive to be one Of very great i'm
portancc In the present peculiar condition
Of the Democratic party, when many potent
and most dangerous elements are at work
for its division and disruption, it may be of
immense consequence by whom the democ-
racy oF LaSslle are 10 be represented in the
convention at Springfield. There should
therefore be such turnout at this mass
meeting as to place the selection Of these
delegates above and beyond the reach ofaDy
petty schemers or cliquss- None but the
coolest and wisest heads in our ranks sho'd
be selected, and If such are unwilling to in
cur the expense and loss of tine in attend
ing, means should be raised to assist in de-
fraying the expenses. Our county is enti-
tied to Is delegates in The convention, and
We hope earnestly she Will Tot be without
o full representation.

The Manlius Row.

gentleman who was present az the ex-
animation before the justice in reference to
this affair, alluded to in our last, gives us
the following statement of the facts of the
case:
Stephen S. IIo,brook and Loren Lord laid
claim to the right of possession of house
which was in the possession of George Full
Ter, and which possession of right and in law
belonged to George Fuller for one year frcn
the second day of May next. Mr.. Fuller be-
ing anxious to move to another part Of the
country, sold his right to the possession of
the house to Mr.. James Lord. Mr.. Fuller
was moving out and Mr.. Lord was moving
in, assisted by one Isaac Howe, when an as
sault was made upon tn IN by lloibrook and
Loren Lord in the highway Immediately in
front OF the house. When Fuller was taking
down the bars, Iioibrook drew a revolver on
him and snapped it at his breast. Fortu.
nately the instrument missed fire, whereup-
on Filler planted good blow under the ear
of ilolbrOok which sent him Keeling slightly.
By this time IIolbrook bad gathered up for
another onslaught. Fuller had got a club
in his hand, and when lIo,trook was pre-
pairing LOT SsCO!!u IRE, ulitT blIuCk tue
revolver and separated the barrel from the
britch. Then in self defence Fuller made the
best fight he could, and in the atfray both
parties got pretty badly mauled. In the
mean time Loren Lord struck James Lord
over the head with hickory club some FIVE
or six times, as rapidly as be could swing
his club, and then the parties came into cio-
ser proximity and Loren Lord got nicely
whipped.
The whole affair was p:emeditated and
unprOvoked. Mr.. Isaac Howe, in trying to
separate the combatants, received blow
from iobrook, and at the cry Of murder
Mrs. Fuller ran out Of the house, and the
infUI ked beast struck her with n club across
the back, whereupOn she gathered Sled
stake that was near by and brought said
Ilolbrooh TO his knees three times IN rather
short metre.

40 rods of the place.

McMath, Esq living not far from Newark.
who was brave and maGnanImous enough
to bind over this woman, for no other offence
than because she was heroine enough to de-
fend her husband and herself As she did.
Two out Of the six were discharged. L.

case investigated, but his counsel waived the
examination and the prisoner gave bail for

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN DUTcH ANERI-
CA.-The Dutch possessions on this CONT
nent, comprising portion of Guinea, South
America, and several small West India Is
lands, containing some $4,000 slaves, who
are to be cmancipated under recent act Of
the home government. The slaves are to
be free in one year after the publication Of
the law, the government making a fixed
compensation for them, but much less than
the market rates. The highest price is
$3.50 for those between the ages of % and 35.
The slaves are to be transferred to the charge
of the government, actin, by special agents.
They are to repay the sums advanced for
their freedom, and those who have the
means may free themselves at once. The
others are to repay the government in an
nual instalments. The freed slaves are also
to pay an annual assessment for the means
of education for their children, and religious
instruction for themselves, and the support
of the poor. The slaves are to be hired
out by the government agents to the plant
ers, and agents having general control of
the slaves while they are in the transition
to freedom. If the planters do not choose
to employ them, they are to be settled in
colonies on the government lands, under the
direction Of the agents,
