Advertise! AdyeItise!!

Advertise weeIly, monthly, yearly per-
peiualy, and our reasons for 1t are these:
1st. 1t gives the appearance to do bus
incss upon fair aul liberal terms.
2nl. 1t is a compliment TO tic commit
nity, in the nature Of an invitation, to call
and see YOU, which they generally accept,
either out of curiosity or ont Of gratitude
for the trouble of telling them whore they
can find articles they may be in search Of.
In either case YOU may make trade IT
You are reasonable, and if not, You will
find out the state Of the market, and gov
em yourself accordingly.
3rd. To advertise literally, TO have
your name continually before the public
in connection with your business, shows
that YOU are neither ashamed Of yourname
or business.
4h 1t looks like enterprise, and most
people prefer to deal with entcrpri'inI
men, rather than crusty Old fagics whc
stand behind their counters or their work
shops, sukily de(ying the world to dea
with them, il they choose or dare, or tC
leave it alone.
5lh. 1t supports the newspapers, which
in return, affords innumerablc benefits tC
humanity.
III these reasons are not sufficient W.
ask our readers TO look at the fact, tha
hardly any business fourishes without ad
vertising, and those who advertise th
most are the most fourshing.

LEAv NwoRrH Cry, Juno 4, 1856.
] proceed TO give you The authentic in
formation from GGbp Scott, which was
brought to Fort Leavenworth by the last
mail.
An officer Of high rank in Col. Johnson's
army, writes to an officer at Forth Leaven-
worth, under date Of the 9TH Of May, sta
ting that the Mornol.s would accced TO
no terms which the United States author
tiles could accept. The former had virlu-
tually proposed an ultinatuni, aud evinc-
ed every disposition to adhere to it under
all circumstances and to the last extremi-
ty. The men who had accompanied tho
wagons which Gilbert met going south to
ward the White Mountains, had returned
or were returning. Tn tho opinion of the
officer who writes, and whose position gives
him every opportunity for obtaining n cor
rect knowledge Of the facts from which
the opinion is derived, a collision was
imminent.
Captain Stewart Of Col. Hoffman's cs-
cort writes from point nearly ono hun
drcd miles beyond Fort Laramie on the
l4th of May. He soys.
'Dny before yesterday, soon after we
got into Camp, it commencel to snow till
sometime last night, and this morning we
found ourselves in nearly two feet of STOW.
Of course, we were compelled to lie by yes.
tcrday and to-day, and may have to rc.
main hero two or three days longcr-cer-
tainly tomorrow, and when we can move
the roads will be in such connition that
we will have to travel very slow. 1t will
be very hard on our animals, which up to
this time have kept in very fine condition
with few exceptions. Fifteen mules died
last night. But if the sun comes out
bright Tomorrow as it promises to-day,
with warm wind, to carry off tho snow
rapidly, the horses and mules will soon
recover from their draw. back The grass
is very fine and ms soon rs the animals get
at it they will revive. But for this very
unreasonable snow, we would have got
along admirably well and we do ot des
pair yet.

Judges Back Pay Question.

The elaborate opinion of tho Supreme
Bench upon this important question, which
we publish at length this morning, will
he read with interest 10y the people of
this Stnt,. The Bench was unanimous,
with the exception Of the Chief Justice,
who, being interested, did not sit in the
case. This opinion fully vindicats the
views we took Of the question, when the
case first camo up, while other journals
who took the opposite side, and asserted
that il was highly "impertinant" in us to
express an opinion, will now have to ac-
knowledge the correctness Of our views
backed rs they arc by tho deliberate
decision of the Rcnch. The Court, It
seems, had TO difficulty in arriving at
nm opinion. In fact the case was too clear
from tho start, to admit ofa doubt. The
Judges had been elected with specific
understanding that they were TO perform
certain duties for certain price, or sal
ary. They performed their duties WELL
und got their pay according to contract
1t was a business transaction between the
people and the judges, and when both par
ties had performed their parts, there the
matter ended. This decision will meet
tho appropriation Of the peopIc-for the
people OF the State, as tax payers, ere
largely, and moro directly interested in it,
than in most quosiions-and it will stand
the scrutiny of sound law, as we'll as com.
mon sense, and justice, upon which all
sound laws arc founded. .H

writer in tho National Inisllioeneer says
that Washington Irving in his Life OF
Washington, page 453, vol. l, claims for
Johnson, delegate from Maryland in the
Continental Congress, the honor OF having
nominated Washington for the position of
Commander in Chief. The election was
by ballot, and was unanimous.
Bancroft, in his last volame, page 500,
saws: "Thomas, Of Maryland, nominated
George Washington, and, as he had been
brought forward at tho particular request
of the people OF New England, he was
elected by ballot unanimously" 4.
The writer in the Infelligeneer wishes to
know which statement is right. We have
always understood that John Adams was
the first to suggest the name Of Washing
ton. The question is one Of interest, and
should he decided correctly. ST

of ten persons were MI murdered in cold

was found sucking its mothers breast TWEEN

They were murdered by four men from

knew tha, those f miles had money, and
they went disguised as Indians thinking
that by numbering the whole families, none
but Indian, worli he suspected. The lit
tie girl, however, recognized one Of them,
who had frequently been at her fathers
house.
She made her escape into the field
where her father Was p!onghing, where
she found him murdered. She then went
nohly to work with her little hands, and
completely covered him up with dirt, to
keep the buzzards of until she made her

Locoloeo swindIins--A Grand Tosa:.

While Locoiocoism ia depicting the Pub
and corruption, the Duvuro.v r.vss ..iv W.
terous in defence Of locofoco purity and
charges of Republican dishonesty. Upon
this principle the Free Press Of yesterday
, had special plea for Democracy, for tho
purpose of covering up the late damaging
exposures. The recent investigation of cor.
ruption and bribery in the Wisconsin Leg
isIature showed that while Republicans re-
ceived some $4,000, the locofocos receiv-
ed something like 100000.
The Fort Smelling fraud shows that one
one of the cabinet of Buchanan had his
fingers in fraud amounting to over $780,
600.
A later case--thai Of Willett's Point sale,
shows Secretary Floyds track in another
grand swindlo amounting to over 5000, 900.
1t was only about year ago that loco.
foco State officer Of Ohio, was detected m
swindlng the State Treasury Of that State
ont Of some 100000, Then, passing by
numerous pecula:ions amounting to 90 and
| 100000 each, We come to the President.
| Tie amount for "niscelaneous" expenses
| heretofore, has usually been about two TO
three millions Of dollars for the government.
while Buchanan has charged to that account
for 1857 the astonishing amount Of Sl6,-
946,ls9 OIL, or very nearly nineteea millions
of dollars, for which he can give no ac-
count, or for which the country has got to
take his word for its proper expenditure
Aside from this vast miscellaneous" amount
he has used up the 100000 odd dollars
in the Treasury when Pierce left it-he has
used up, s2O,000,00o more raised in the
issue of Treasury Notes End is asking Con-
gress to loan 100000 more to carry his
administration through the year, leaving q
deficit in the Treasury Of nearly fifty NIL
lions dollars for the first year and quarter
of his administration saying nothing OF
the enormous amounts appropriated by Con-
gress for specific purposes. So snm up the
grand total Of locofcco defalcations, swim
dies and corruptions, discovered i'll about
year past, including moderate estimate fol
countless small amounts, the account will
stand about thus:

THE KANSAS ELECTION. STATE OF
AFFAIRS IN THE TERRIToRY.-The Depart
ment of State has published the instruc
tions sent ont to Gov Denver, in respect
TO carrying out tho bill for the admission
of Kansas into the Uuon. Mr. Secretary
Cass's lcttor bears very palpablc marks of
of having bccn written quite as much for
popular effect in the States as for Gov.
Denver's guidance. 1t is profu'ed in its
assurances that "the President desires a.
bove all things that there should be fair
expression Of the popular will on this I'M
portant question:" in seeming forgetfulncss
of the Presidents utter disregard of the
"popular will" when it was very distinctly
pronounced against the very constitution
which is now a side movement resubmit-
ted to the people. Mr.. Secretary Cass aud
the President seem entirely oblivous OF
the fact that they both, in connection with
all the members of the Administration,
used most strenuous efforts to secure the
passage Of tho Lecompton constitution by
Congress, without its submission in any
form to the people, and in violation OF dis
tinct pledges that it should be so submitted
1t is inrossble TO forbcar q smile ft the
coolncss with which the Secretary Of State
assumes that tho President has aiway:
respected, and now desires above all things,

important question Detroit Advertiser
