| the Mormon IS WARP

o
.-r the Mormon IS WARP
We this week lay before our readers,
the Presidents proclamation, an
nouncing the end of the Mormon war.
The announcement was considered by
the House such a clever jest, that it
was greet with uproarious shouts of
laughter. But we do not think it will
be considered by the people such very
clever jest, when they take into con-
sideration the fact that to carry on this
stupendous "war," the government has
squandered some s25, 100000; that a
gallant army was sent on the very edge
of winter to incur the most incredible
hardships in the gorges of the Rocky
Mountains; that Capt. Marcy's en-
feebled forces trudged months together
through waist-deep snow, and fed at
the haltings upon mule meat. This we
should suppose was too serious for
extreme mirth. 80 2i~
The President, it will be seen, now
offers "a free and full pardon to all
who will submit themselves to the au-
thority of the federal government"
He now offers to compromise with them
for trampling under foot federal author
ity, driving out federal judges, robbing
the supply trains, numbering whole
emigrant trains of American citizens
on their way to California, if they will
but noso stop their career, and acknowl-
edge his authority. He tells them they
have been GUILTY OF TREA-
SON." but does not intimate that the
leaders of these desperadoes, who alone
are responsible, shall receive any pun
ishment! Oh, no, on the contrary he
says:
/ offer now a FULL AND FREE PAR
DON to all who will submit themselves
to the authority of the federal govern
ment, offering to the in
habitants of Utah, who shall submit to
the laws, FREE PARDON for the SEDI-
TIONS AND TREASONS HERE
TOFORE BY THEM COMMITTED.
Truly this is melting out mercy by
the bucket full. Buchanan should be
/ set down as one of the most cruel
mortals that ever lived, for inflicting
such unheard of punishment" for
such slight offenses.

That New Party

A special dispatch from Washington
to the n. Y. Tribune of yesterday
contains the following:
"The professed programme of the
Peoples Party of the Union" sent
from here, was concocted by few IT.
responsible individuals, having no au-
thority to use any of the names which
have been published in connection with
the movement. The whole affair is
disclaimed by such men as Messrs.
Crittenden, Bell, Marshall and the like,
whose influence has been impertinent-
ly assumed to prop up the scheme"
This will be particular grief to our
Democratic friends, who have, in this
bogus arrangement another evidence
of the dissolution of the Republican
party. 1t is not improbable that the
whole affair is shallow locofoco trick.
Certain it is, that the locofoco papers
are the only ones who have paid any
attention to it, and they have hailed ii
with high degree of satisfaction

Democracy i'm Illinois.

1t is now no longer q matter of doubt
that the Democracy are sadly split,
and that there now exists two wings to
that great institutions. In the State OF
Illinois, the Buchanan wing of the
party met in Convention in the City of
Springfield, on the 9th inst, and nomi-
mated a ticketo their oaoo, utterly repu-
dating all attempts at a compromise
on the part of the Douglas faction, who
also have ticket in the field. Douglas
and his followers were denounced in
strong terms, and Mr.. Buchanan and
the present administration lauded to
the skies. A platform was adopted
longer than the moral law. The fol-
lowing are the nominations: Hon.
John Dougherty for State Treasurer,
and Hon. John Reynolds for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. There
will now be three distinct tickets in the
field in Illinois, A straight-out " Ma
tional Democratic ticket, a C Douglas
ticket" and regular Republican tick
ct. This will, without doubt, give the
Republicans the State this fall, and
elect Mr.. Douglas to stay at home.

The Sale of the Swamp Lands.


We send out with this weeks edition
. supplement-, containing a description
Of the Lands offered for sale under, the
above caption, andswould call the at
tention of the public to the advertise
.ment of the Commissioner in another
column. 1t will be seen by the adver.
tisement that the sale will commence at
Lansing, on the 2sth of July ,sgse
Considerable has been said by the
opposition press in regard to the mode
adopted for the advertising of these
lands, (viz: by supplementary by the
papers designated to advertise them.
1t will be seen at glance that the
great length of the advertisement, en-
tirely precluded the idea of its being
done in any other form. The supple
ment contains 80 pages of ordinary
sized paper. The great labor of pre-
pairing these supplements can at once be
seen. The Commissioner has been
compelled to labor early and late, being
at Lansing during the whole of the
time they were being printed, reading
the "proof" himself, in order that nc
errors might occur. Mr.. Treadwel
has won fresh laurels for his prompt
attention in this matter, and the people
of the State point with pride to this
well regulated and well conducted de-
partment of our State, under the adj
ministration of the present popular
Commissioner. 20 sfi1 r l'-
Messrs. Hosmer & Kerr, the present
State Printers, are also entitled to the
thanks of the press, for the neatness
and promptness with which they have
executed this great job. 1t will be
understood that the several publishers
to whom this advertising was given
seeing the ;mpossibility of advertising
these lands in any other form than by
supplement, employed Messrs. Hosmel
& Kerr to print them, the Commission
err having nothing to do with it off
cially. The necessity of furnishing
more than one copy of the advertise
ment was thus done away with, to fur
nish which to the several publisher.
would have required an immense
amount of labor and additional expense
On the whole we think that the matter
| has been conducted and is now abou
to be completed with a great deal o
economy, and in the best manner pos
sible. a9e.u .a 7oi n

COMING DowN.@There Is rumor
current in Illinois that Douglas will be
candidate for the lower House of
Congress in place of Mr.. Harris, whose
health is said to be very poor. The
Chicago Tribune says that there is also
rumor current that Mr.. Douglas will
not be candidate for the lower House
from anywhere. Which report is
right? Probably both; as Mr.. Doug
las generally says one thing to. one
party and another thing to another
party.

we learn that the Convention was a

RISE OF THE MISSISSIPPI Mis-
sissippi is reported to be very high.
On Monday last, the water at St. Louis
was only A feet below the highest
flood mark of IA, and the river was
rising at the rate of J an inch per hour.
The levee at st. Louis is oyerfowed,
and the water is nearly up to the second
floors of many Of the buildings. The
country is completely submerged for
miles around. jamestown is flooded
and the people have deserted it. Thou.

seriously damaged, while large guam.

We have been asked to call the at
tention of the farmers to- the expe-
diency of testing the capabilities and
points of value and usefulness, in the
different Reapers now offered to them,
by holding festival sometime during
the approaching harvest, at which time,
farmers owning Reapers, and the agents
of the various Reapers in the county,
are requested to turn out, each with
their respective machines. Let them
be fully tried and tested, that all may
know and see for themselves, from ac-
tual trial, the best and most practical
working Reaper now offered to the
farming community. We. think that
such festival could be easily got up,
and that it might result in a great deal
of benefit to all farmers Some farmers
may learn some new kink" in his
machine that he may now own that he
knows nothing of; and it will be the
means of letting those who do not as
yet own any Reaper know which is the
best one offered for SALE. Let the mat
ter be taken into consideration, and it
viii have to be acted upon Immediately
as harvest is near at hand, Farmers,
talk over the matter, and see if you do
not think that you could thus devote

STEAM ON ELEVENTH AVENUE.

Tie Committee on hAlr0h0s OF the DOa1u Ol NOuh-
cilmen held meeting yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose Of bearing parties interested in the dlscontln-
of the Of steam by the Hudson River Rail
road in the Eleventh avenue below Fifty ninth street
GARRET III. SIRYKER, jr., hrst addressed the Com
mtee in favor OF the stoppage of steam. He stated
that during the past year there has been vast
amount of testimony taken relative to this subject,
which proved to his mind, and he believed 10 almost
every UtherprOperty owner on the line OF the Eleventh
avenue, that the Of steam thereon great nu
sance, dangerous to life and destructive to property
He thought that if the testimony taken before the for
Committee having the subject under consideration
should be read by the present Committee testimony
in the case il would much trouble and time. The
subject was thoroughly placed before the Committee
OATH and he believed it in the possession of the
Clerk OF the Board. The Railroad Company on two
occasions appeared before the Committee through
their Secretary, who failed to answer the arguments
of the remoDstrants against the OF seam except
upon the general principle that the Hudson River
Railroad was great benefit to New York, which he
and other property denied so far as the Eev-
enth avenue was concerned For the last seven years
the property had been pursuing them, or, in
other words eDdesvorirg to get the Common Council
to stop the of steam the avenue below Fifty
ninth street, and put small horsecars instead. The
Railroad Company took the property, as 1t was under
stood at the time that everybody should have the
of IT, but since il taken for railroad purposes
others had scarcely had any use of it whatever. The
property owners on the avenue thought high time that
they knew what course this Committee going to
the Company subpenaed before the Committee, and
see what they had TO say on the subject
The Chairman Of the Committee stated it was their
intention to hear what both parties had to say in ela
ton to il.
Mr. SIRYKER resumed, and ssid he was very sorry
10 say anything in reference to the former Committees
by way Of casting reflection upon them, but he hsd
observed in every instance that whenever the subject
had been before them, and after the proof had been
taken TO show how the interest of the property.
and protection of life and property demanded
immediate sctitn in stopping the OF steam, when
i came to q vote they have almost always run away
from the question. Some might be dispoeed, he re-
Than birnsef but he declined to do so.
Several propertyowners expressed themselves very
much dissatisfied with the course pursued by
former Committees, and iDtimated that unless the
Common Council should manifest disposition TO do
them justice, they would tear up the rails in the
avenue regardless Of what the consequences might be-
The Comm announced that they would examine

the grade OF Third avenue and read the law passed

was illegal. Nearly if qaite ell of the proper1v
owners objected; but the work was done no,xith
