THE UTAH DELEGATE.

The delegate in Congress from Utah
says that when the Committee, to which
was referred the resolution to send him
home, makes its report, he will have some
thing to say-that he is unable to see what
the acts of the Federal Governor of a terri
tory have to do with the Representative of
the people in Congress. In regard to the
Mormon rebellion, he says that he thinks it
hard that people, who have gone thou
sand miles beyond the bounds of civiliza-
ton, and by their industry have made the
desert to blossom as the rose, cannot have
the choice of their federal oficers-at least
as long they remain isolated from, and
out of the protection of, the rest OF the
nation. He says, however, that if Gov.
Cumming would go to Utah without an
army, he has no doubt but that the people
and Gov. Young would cordially receive
and cheerfully install him into office.
As regards the appointment of federal
officers, these are sent from the States to
other territories as we'll as to Utah. The
Mormons are occupying the territory OF
the United States, and have already rebel
led against the government; the sooner
therefore, they are taught to realize where
they are, and to respect the laws OF their
adopted country, the better for themselves
| and the whole country.

HARKEN FOR THE SOUND,

As the whig party raised the cry for Gen.
Dockery that he was Pee Dee Wagon
en-" SO will proclamation be made for
Walter F. Leak that he is ga plain far
nler." Farmers are deserving people, and
are entitled to more praise than they get,
but if they don't happen to advocate the
right principles, the mere fact of being
farmers cannot carry them into power.
The opposition need not expect to gain the
support of the honest yeomanry of the
State for Mr. Leak by styling him a farmer.
They cannot be hopeyfuddled in that
way. Farmers will vote against brother
farmer, if his principles don't suit them, as
readily as they will against lawyer, mech
anic or doctor.
1t is true, Mr. Leak is a farmer, and we
guess he has made more money at farming
than he could at anything else, but we
never heard of his doing anything for North
Carolina-we never heard of his subscrib-
ing anything for internal improvements,
even when solicited to aid work which
would greatly benefit his less wealthy
neighbors. In fact, his favors have gener-
ally been bestowed on a sister State.
Mr. Leak is unwilling to expend little
of his large accumulations for the benefit
of old North Carolina, but he is very ready
to join in the grab game, and take from the
! general government that to which he has
no right, in order to save his own pockets
A thirst for Office will make some men very
! patriotic.

= Gov. Wise. Of Virginia, is curious
man, and writes some queer things-funny,
if nothing more. Here is an extract from
his letter to the Tammany Hall Society:
almost every other people and every
otber party, except the American Democ-
rscv, have had their "bridges of asses but
7 do hope that we may not be such asses our
selves as to make bridge of slavery, or any
other subject, for US to stall at in career
and progress of national greatness. And
vet, gentlemen, there are great many
Kans-asses in our country, and they are
not half as stubborn asses as the can't-asses.
A driver can get along after manner with
an ass that can. but the cruelest gOad will
NOT prevail with the asses that can't. They
are the stubbornest of all, and are sure 30
stall inst in the way and at the very place
of most danger. They bray political re-
ligion and religious politics. The best
wbip which ever touched these asses exact
lv in the raw was James Buchanan's Con
estoga thong, laid right on upon forty
fanaf;eal preachers, s'all in q row. As to
vonr other motto, Civil and religious lib
ertv," ours was saved by the Virginia De
necracy in 1855. We struck the dark
lantern cut Of the hands of inefabie Sam
and none now are found so poor as ts
..burrah'' for him. We therefore, have
some right to say to you on other topic:
that all common sense aud justice require i:
that we let each others property and peace
and political privileges alone, aad attent
20 the conservation of our own Interest,"

DuoCRATIC MEETING.

communication received from a

claims of highly respected and talented
7,,,oorat for the office Of Governor, is not

re would be showing partiality to make an
e,ception in his case. We believe our cor

but we think if he and the rest of our demo-

Of any gentleman for the nomination before

HORRIBLE MURDER.

We learn from the Wilmington Journal
that a most brutal murder was committed
in Columbus county, on the 9TH inst, upon
the body of Mrs Neatly, wife of David
Neatly, residing about twelve miles from
Whiteville. A negro man belonging to
Mr. Neatly was working in the woods near
a log heap, which had been prepared by
Mr. n. for the purpose of making ashes,
and Mrs Neatly had gone to the heap to
put fire to it; while there, and after she had
communicated the fire, the negro struck
her down and dragged her on the burning
heap. Mrs Neatly not returning to the
house, her husband became uneasy. and
after search. found her at the heap burnt
to crisp, scarcely a particle of flesh re,
naming. The boy has been arrested and
lodged in Jail. He confessed the crime.

LATER FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

Surrender of Col. anderson to Commodore
Padding.
The steamer Star of the Westhas arrived.
We cannot learn the full particulars of
the surrender of Col. Anderson at Punta
Arenas, but passengers state that Commo-
dore Pauldng sent several boats up the
river and commanded him to surrender.
Before surrendering, Col. Anderson sunk
the lake steamers, blew up Fort Castillo
and DESTROYED the ammunition.
A correspondent of the n. 7. Times, at
Aspinwall, writes that Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA have settled all differences which ex-
listed between them, and have despatched
500 men against Col. Anderson Ander-
son, however, proposed to surrender to
Capt. Sands. The latter sent force up
the river and met Anderson on the steamer
Ogden, which he took without resistance.
Among the men taken were III. W. Summer
ford, of G eorgia; w. A. Johnston, of North
Carolina, and w. II. Taylor, of Lynchburg,
Virginia These are on board the frigate
Wabash.
The Peruvian authorities have committed
another outrage against the United States,
having taken a sailor from fap American
ship, and dashed him on buoy as punish
ment for having struck Gillian. The
American Captain protested against the
punishment, on which the Peruvian Com
mander insolently replied. that IF he did
not mind his own business he would be put
in the sailors place" The American
Minister is investigating the matter.

GOV. WISE.

The cratic Governor Of Virginia, Wise,
has written a letter to the New York Tam
many Hall democrats, taking ground with
Mr. Douglas in opposition to the LecomP-
ton Constitution. Gov. Wise thinks that
the whole Constitution of Kansas should
have been submitted 10 tho people. He
styles the clause providing for submitting
the slavery question to the voters, as s. un-
yelled trickery and shameless fraud" He
maintains that Congress ought not to adj
nit Kansas until majority of the people
vote upon and approve the Constitution
The Richmond Enquirer, paper hereto
fore considered as Wise's organ, regrets the
course the Governor has saw proper to pur-
sue. and SAYS it considers his letter Il i'll
timed and indiscreet."
The democratic members of the Virginia
Legislature have held meeting and en-
dorsed the course of Mr. Buchanan.

MIR. BADGER.

Some of the Washington letter writer's
state that the Hon. Geo. E. Badger of this
State, while attending the Supreme Court
in Washing ton, denounced the Leeompton
Constitution as swindle and sustained Mr.
Douglas position. Of course, we might
expect Mr. Badger to take sides against the
Adu.inistration-the democratic party GUST
ed the honorable gentleman from his seat
in the U. S. Senate, and he may fee! it his
duty now to do all he can to disorganize
that party. The democratic party can
manage to get along without the aid OF
Judge Badger or Judge Douglas either.
Now that Mr. Badger has taken position
against admitting Kansas under the Lee
compton Constitution recognizing slavery
we would not be surprised if every oppo-
sition paper in the State were to join in in
denouneing the President, his Cabinet, and
the national democratic party for the course
they are pursuing, although it is the very
one they, a short time since, asserted would
not be pursued by the democracy, and fol
which they expressed so much favor.
The opponents of democracy, in theil
course, remind us of the drunken husband
who whipped his wife for not sitting ur
and keeping fire until he got home, anc
then whipped her for sitting up SO late ane
burning up the fuel.
Let the democratic party prove true t.
itself, and keep principle in view, and the
opposition will find the effort to divide anC
! conquer a vain one.
