FACE WAX OVER THE ROAD.
Nebraska advertiser., 1858-01-07
From Kansas.

We learn that the Free Sellers of
Kansas held a Convention at Lawrence,
one day last week to nominate State Off
GERS for Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution. We have not learned who
were selected at the convention, but it
was understood that Chas. Robinson was
to be their candidate for Governor, and it
was thought probable that Stanton would
be the candidate for Lieut.. Governor.
1t will be seen from this that the free
soilers are making arrangements to have
the government of Kansas in their W
hands if possible, should Kansas be ad-
mitted as a State by the present Con-
gress.
The election on the constitution went
off quietly throughout the Territory gene
rally, with the exception of some
rumors from Fort Scott. A little disturb
ance took place at Leavenworth, but it did
not result in anything serious. The free
soilers steadily refused to vote, and as a
consequence the constitution with slavery
has been adopted. 1t now only remains
to be seen whether Congress will admit
her. The free soilers had an opportunity
of defeating the slavery clause at the
polls, if they had been so disposed, and
were sufficiently strong to accomplish it
but as theyhave let the election 90 by de-
fault, they a blame no one but them
selves, in obstinately refusing to pass up
on it.--St. Joseph Gazette.
Nebraska advertiser., 1858-01-07

Another very iniportart feature in this
difficulty is the fact that 50 many Of their
people are foreigners. For years the
tide of Mormon emigration has steadily
flowed INTO rtah from the ~seascoast,
through all the great thOrOughfarcs of
traveI 10 the Wesl. Al large proportion
Of these emigrants ire English, szedes.
Welsh, Norwegiansand Danes. They have
no knowledge Of cur institutions they be-
lieve nothing but what is iniInical to us;
they are kept IN Ignorance by Brigham
Young for reasons obvious to the most
careless observer, and Poessed with that
fanatical enthusiasm which generally cha
~racterizes converts to a new faith, num-
bering over one hundred thousand, with
Indian allies burning for vengeance, and
in a country mountainous and difficult Of
travel which is entirely under bis con
troll, should Brigham Young persist in
his determination to resist the United
States, it viii undoubtedly cost the Gov
erLment- more than any war we have had
since 1912. ns
Brigham Young is undoubtedly an able
man. He possesses all the qualifications
for a leader Of such apeople, and among
them his influence is ~unbounded. He
viii, 50 long as small forces only are sent
against him, successfully resist the Gov
eminent, and when, as a last resort, a
sufficient number Of men are sent to
crush out all resistance IN the part of the
Mormons he will gather his flock
around him, and wander to a new
country-probably New Mexico. 1t would
undoubtedly be far better to. call a large
volunteer force, let them enter Utah at
the three principal points, and extermin-
ate the whole abominable horde. Only
by this means can this foul blot upon
the escutcheon Of our country be fully
e~radicated.

The deficiency bill for the present fiscal
wear Will. because of the present peculiar
relations between the Mornons and the
United States, end Of, other matters, be
an UNUSUALLY large one. The Secretary.
Of the Treasury has not as yet sent to
Congress his estimates for this measure
and he will not be able 10 DO so until
the Var Department and the Adminis-
tration haze determined upon the plan
of the spring campaign against the re-
bells of Utah. The regular army ap-
preparation bill for 1858 a%ppropriates
from and after the 30th of jans next.
When the army appropriation bill for
The present fiscal year was passed our
relations with the people of Utah were
not of the hostile character that they have
assumed since. 4twas thVught that there
would, sooner or later, be a difficulty
between them and the United States Go
yernment, But tAis result was net ex-
pected so suddeAly. The consequence is
that the large army supplies demanded
for instant action, on the part of the Sc
cretary,of War, will be embraced in this
deficiency bin.
The greatest deficiency will probably
be In the Quartermaster's Department.
There has been a great deal of transpor-
tation across the plains, much more than
was anticipated. 1 have no doubt that
five or six millions of dollars will be as
ked for by General Jesup.
It is supposed hat the President has
sent In his decisions in many cases tried
by the naval courts. and the friends of the
officers, retired, ~furloughed, and dropped
are much exercisedas to the probable de-
termination Of the Senate. The sympa.
thy of members and citizens seems to be
rather for the officers whose commissions
were operated upon by the late retiring
board than for the members of thai
board.
The receipts into the Treasury from
all sources continue to be one-half or one.
third less than the expenditures.
1t is expected that the issue of treasury
notes asked by the Secretaryo of the Trea.
sury will serve to revive trade and the
receipts from customs before spring.

From the National In~telligencer.
TO the Editors.

GENTLEMEN:-M make a sugges
ton through the medium of your columns,
which | think will be acceptable to every
le%tter-writer and letter reader who NAV
chance to read it?
The self sealing envelopes which eve
ny body (for the sake of convenience and
dispatch) uses, are no protection against
either the im%pertinence or dishonesty of
those, who ''hanker" after their contents.
Who has not received letters which had
evidently been opened, examined, and
plastered up again? know that many
of mine have undergone that treatment,
and, between you and me, 1 prefer to
read my own letters first. Wax and seal
are the only security, and they are not
generally at hand. Is there no remedy?
Use the postage stamps as a seal on the
back Of the letter. This would be effectual
if the. postmaster would stamp their mark
over it, which doubtless they would do
and, besides this security, the delicacy of
the postage stamp would prevent any at
tempt to remove it, without the certainty
Of DETACHMENT and detection.
If any objections to this plan occur 10
you or TO your readers, I would be glad
to know them. l can perceive none.

StartIIng News from Utah.

A report reached this city a day or two
ago, hat an express rider had passed
through Kinekuck, X. T., from our army
in Utah, bearing the startling intelligence
that Col, Cook, with his command of four
hundred men, while passing from Bridger
Fort to the camp of Hams Fork, was en-
tirely surrounded by Mormons, and after
a short engagement, were all taken pri-
soners. 1t is stated further that the
Mormons proceeded, Immediately after
the surrender, to hang all the prisoners
sparing neither officers nor men.
The above report certainly needs 0
frmation before i team be relied upon as
correct. We cannot believe the Mormons
would have the temeFity tomurder in cold
lood 50 large a number of men, nordo
We believe but what Col. Cook, when he
found himself surrounded could have cut
his waythrough the ranks of his enemies
and especially with nearly all, if moi the
of his command. A few days will
confirm or falsify The matter of this re-
port,-St. Joseph Gazette. 30ih ult.

Governor RichardSOn.

1t is well known that many months ago
the position of Governor of the Territory
of Nebraska was rendered by the Pre-
sident to that distinguished statesman, the
Hon. VIM. A. Richardson, of Illinois. He
declined III It hat time, according to the
understanding arnong the public men here
on account Of the urgency Of his private
affairs. Recently, on his arrival at this
point, it wa again rendered to him, and
is saidto have been temporarily declined.
That is, until after the Message bod been
~promblged.
A friend of Col. r. informs US that he
was indisposed to accept ony office in the
gift Of the President under circumstances
that might apparently commit him to po-
litical positions he did not feel at liberty
to occupy; and that therefore he prefer
red to await the rendition to Congress of
the Annual Message before closing with
the Presidents offer.
Subsequently, according to the general
understanding in Washington, he has sig
nifed to the Executive his willingness to
accept the appointment, and was yester-
day nominated and confirmed by the SEN
ate. This is under the circumstances,
disproof of the story hat he is hostile TO
the Presidents recommendation that
Kansas be, admitted under the Lecompton
Constitution.
Governor Richardson is. emphatically
the nan for the occasion, having had
large experience in public affairs, and
being, withal, a gentleman of as fine ca
pacities for thus serving his country to
advantage, as any other statesman in the
length and breadth of the land.-TRe

Endorsement Of Judge Ferguson.

The Legislative Assembly OF this Ter
ritory has endorsed Judge FERcUsoN as
our Delegate to Congress by passing the
appended resolutions by a vote Of 8 to 5
in the Council and 81 to 13'in the House.
Everybody knows, and none better than
the notorious firm of chapman, lockwood.
& CO., that Mr.. Ferguson is the squatter's
Delegate to Congress, and that he alone
is lawfully entitled to the seat; but so
many plans q self agrandizement have
been formed by the above named compa-
ny, that it is hard for them to forego
these little matters of pecuniary benefit,
and consequently they consider any amount
of lying and rascality j~ustifable, provided
it will secure them success, and this to
them is far easier than an honest,
Straightforward course.
Here are the resolutions, and we re-
joice at this expression of the sentiments
of two-thirds of the squatters of Ne
braska:
To the House Of REPRESENTATIVES Of the
United States, an Congress assembled /:
Whereas, The Hon. B. B. Chapman is
contesting the right of Hon. Fenner Fer
gusonto his seat in your body as Delegate
from the Territory Of Nebraska, and be-
lieving it to be a duty d~evolving upon us
as Representatives of the people, to ad-
wise your honorable body OF their wishes
and ~sympathies in the premises.-There-
fore be it Resolved by the Council and
House Of Representatives of the Terrific
ry of Nebraska;
LIST, That a very large majority of the
people of the Territory Of Nebraska be-
lieve hat Hon. Fenner Ferguson was
fairly and legally elected Delegate from
the Territory of Nebraska. Consequent
ly, tbeywill be1slow to believe that efforts
from any source will avail anything to de-
prive them of the Representative of their
choice, and a Representative in whose
capacity, integrity, fidelity and incorrupt-
ibility they have the fullest confidence.
2nd. That the whole people of the
Territory Indignantly repel the foul as
pensions attempted to be cast upon the
character ofahe late Chief Justice of the
Territory. the present Delegate elect,
charging in effect, perjury, under the pre-
emption laws of the United States; know
ing, as they do, that such charges and as
pensions are maliciously false, and entire
ly unfuunded, coming from what source
they may, and they cannot but believe that
such slanderous and libelous charges have
been made in the hope or expectation that
the right of the Delegate elect to his seat
would be p~reiuiced thereby.
Sd. The foregoing Preamble and Re-
solutions shall be signed by the President
Of the Council and the Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, certified to by
the Clerks of each body, and a copy of
the same be forwarded by said Clerks to
the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives of the United States, Hon. Fenner
Ferguson, and Hon. B. B. Chapman.

You may recolIect the circumstances
which attended the seizure of certain
arms and military stores last April by the
men Of Lockridge's command, assisted by
the English. These stores belonging to
Nicaragua, j. N. Scott had in his pos
session; and to-day the Saratoga took the
guns, with their carriages, on board that
vessel, and they are now trailed on US.
The conduct Of Commander Chatard is
so much the more disgraceful as he adj
mits he has no instructions from his Co
vernment to warrant him in his hostility
he maaifests towards US. He knows he
dare not fire en- US, and his attemptto in
timidate us is not only I~udicrous, but cow
ardly. Further than this, he has attempt
ed 10 involve the Fashion in difficulties,
threatening TO have her fined for not car
rying her name on her stern, we'll know
ing, in the same time, that this vessel
is here without money, and therefore in
the condition of a ship in distress. He
has placed himself in the attitude of a
y. S. naval officer, seeking to iniure
American s~hip-owners.
The following note has. Just been
handed to Gen. Walker, lader the seal
Of the English consulate, written, as YOU
perceive, by Commander Chatard of the
Saratoga.

The Post Office Committee from N. Y.

The Naval Department forwarded des-
patches to-day to Com. Chathard Of the
Saratoga, ordering HIM to deliver his yes
sci to the senior Lieut.. and return on
board of her, a passenger, to the U. s.
The Saratoga had been previously order
ed home.
Seniors Moiiva and Escalante are per-
fectly satisfied that Gen. Walker will
never leave Punta Arenas. They say
5000 men could not take San Juan, and
if they did the capture would be profit
less, as the public arms are by law distrl-
buted among the people, who would rally
at some other point In defence of their
Government.
