In the above verso is recorded the fate
of an unfortunate lady who set out to do a
good thing and didn't do it. Tho world is
full of pillars of salt-the pages of history
are strewed with melancholy examples of
mon wrecked within sight of the haven Of
their hopes, by turning their faces toward
the starting point, but tho example of the
thousands who have preceded him, did not
prevent the individual elected by the dclu-
ded people of this Congressional District
to represent them in Washington, from ma
king Mrs. Lot of himself. Lots wife was
commanded to leave the city of the plain,
and flee unto the mountain. Hall was
commanded to leave a corrupt Administra-
ton and travel toward place outside tho
loc ofoco camp, called Justice. Lots wife
started, but having caught sniff of the
good things she had left, turned. Hall
started, but alas ! poor human nature! The
alluromcnts of public plumber were too
strong for his limited honesty, and he
turned back. Lots wife was turned into a
pillar of salt. Hall will be next fall, in
fact he is now. Politically, he is made of
no more enduring material. He is crum-
bling pillar, and about next fall, storm of
public Indignation will burst upon his head
and obliterate him entirely. Poor Hall

From tho N. Y. Tribune, May "a.
Capt. Nichols informs us that the shin
Clarendon, Capt. Bartlett, having on board
cargo Of sugar, bound for Now York,
whilo lying in the port Of Sagua Ia Grande,
was also boarded by boat from tho British
War Stamer Buzzard. The officer in COM
mand of the boat Immediately spraug on
board, and proceeding to the cabin, com
manded Capt Bartlett to hoist his ensign,
which tho captain refused TO do, deeming
the whole proceeding an insult. The off
cor then demanded his papers, when he
was told that they were at the Consuls and
that f he knew his business he ought to be
aware of that fact. Tho officer then de-
parted saying he would report to tho com
manding officer of the steamer. Capt. Bart
let refused to hoist his ensign. Several
shots blank cartridges) were soon after fired
by the steamer, in order to intmidate Capt.
Bartlett and compel him to hoist his ensign,
but without effect. Capt Bartlett then no.
ticed that they had lowered away two Of
their large boats, each containing abont
so mon, with any quantity Of small arms,
when he took his ensign and laid it on the
cabin table. Soon after tho boats arrived
alongside, and the commander of the stoam-
er in person came en- board, when Capt. B.
received him politely, but protested against
the whole Of the proceedings, and would
not allow any Of the men from the steamer
to come on board, threatening to shoot the
first that attempted to do so. Capt. B. and
the British commander then went into the
cabin, when tho commander Of the steamer
ordered him to hoist his ensign. He repli-
ed. "There it lies on the table, and if your
commission is worth enough hoist it your
self" The British officer, pistol in hand,
commenced pacing the cabin, saying that
ho "would seize the vessel and take her to
the port of New York." to which Capt. B.
replied, ''that was exactly what no wanted
him to do" when whether Intentionally or
b; accident, he could not say, Capt. B. was
struck on The breast by tho hand which
held the pistol. Capt B. then presented
his pistol and said, "Sr. keep your hands
off of me, or I will shoot you." The officer
replied, 81 did not lay my hands upon you"
when Capt. B. reioined, "You did, Sir
The officer inquired if tho sugar on board
belonged to Capt. B., when he replied, "I
never owned hogshcad Of sugar in my life"
The same question was asked in regard to
tho launches (boats for conveying the sugar
from the shore on board,) and the Same
reply given. The officer completely cover

BEWARE OF NEEDLE PEDDLERs-An OK

roughness and. describes their game. 1t
says that they will call at every house where
they have not been kicked out on former
visit, land they have method of marking
gates and doors by which they know where
it will not do to go,) and leave bunch of
noodles, whether the lady of the house
wants them or not. If they are refused the
privilege of leaving their needles, they will
insult the females who refuse them. The
next day they will call again, and generally
demand pay for the package of needles, al
leging that it has been opened or damaged.
If there are no men in the house, or about
the premises to give the scoundrcls the fog
ging they deserve, they are often able by
threat and insolcnce to frighten females into
payment of the price they demand. At
the Same time they arc pursuing the needle
trade, or making that business pretext for
calling at houses, they are looking out for
whatever thoy can steal and make available.
Some of these fellows arc known to belong
to the fraternity of pickpockets, and make
noedlc pcddling their ostensible business to
cover their moro lucretive occupation.
Our advice to all town people is that they
make it rule to buy nothing at all of ped
dlars, and not even to give them an admit
tance to the house.

The battle for 1860 is now sot in order.
The issue is made up and each man has al
already decided, or has under earnest consid-
Grafton, his choice of sides. 1t is then to
be decided whether the constitution carries
slavery with it,-whcther slavery and free
dom have equal rights under the federal
government and TO tho territories of the
United States,--whether the free states can
be made tho common hunting ground Of
the slave drivers,--whethcr we shall be tax
ed to build jails and pay jailers who must
recover, keep and deliver fugitivos from
southern bondage. In short it is to be de-
cided whether we shall 60 back a hundred
years before the Revolution, when negro
was not considered human being, when
the morality Of tho slave trade had not been
questioned, when the rights Of man as man
had no existence even on paper. 1t is now
openly declared in report made to q south
ern convention, that the real question be-
tween the north and south is the question
between aristocracy and democracy. At
the north il is said that the doctrine that
all mon are equal before the law is practi-
cally held, at the south it is theoretically
and practically denied. The difference be-
tween tho system which acknowledges and
that which denies tho fundamental and in-
alienabls rights Of man, is ms great as that
between heaven and hell There can be
no peace in this war Either tho north
must become the ssrvie tool Of the south,
ready to catch its runaway slaves and to
bond its back to all its masters dirty work,
or must stand up and assert the rights of
man. We desire no quarrel with the south,
but the north will not stand by and see the
vast powors ofthe federal government en-
ploycd to extend slavery.
1t is for every democrat to consider what
ho will do, when the body of his party have
deserted every principle he has been accus-
toned to call democratic. Can any honest
democrat review the course Of this admins
tration on the Kansas question. Deserted
by governor after governor, repudiatcd by
Douglas and host of democrats north and
south, is it worthy of the support of north

ONE YEAR.

Mr.. Buchanan has now been in Office q
little over year. On coming into power
he found the treasury full to replstion, and
a surplus of twenty millions of dollars lying
idle there and awaiting appropriations
At tho opening of Congress this large sum
had melted away and call was made for
twenty millions of treasury notes TO meet
the ordinary expenses of the government.
For several days We have had intimations
from Washington that this aid would be in
sufficient and that a permanent loan would
be called for Tho call was accordingly
mado by the Secretary of the Treasury last
week, and on Saturday Mr.. Mason, Of the
Senate, introduced a bill for borrowing If
teen millions more. This makes ftty.fve
millions which have thus boon required by
this extraordinary administration besides
the regularly accruing revenue. Of course

From Utnh.

The Tribune aud Times, Of Monday, have
letteEs from Fort Bridger, TO the 10th Of
April, received by Mr. Gilbert, formerly a
merchant in Salt Lake City. Mr.. Gilbert
came through from California and had a
pass from Brigham Young. He reached
Salt Lake City on tho I'd Of April, and
spent several days there. The news is not
explicit in regard to the intentions Of the
Mormons. All that is certainly known is
that Col. Kane had been closeted with Gov.
Cummings, ut tho Fort, and that, after long
consultations, hO had determined to put
himself under an escort of Morrnons, and
leave for Salt Lake City. He accordingly
left camp on tho 5th Of April
Mr.. Gilbert met him on the 18th, As miles
from the city, in company with about
80 persons. mostly Mormons. He also
states that the Mormons at the City were
making preparations to receive him hand
somely, and had prepared rooms for him to
occupy. Mr.. Gilbert confirms the earlier
reports respecting the removal Of the Nor
mons. He met long trains Of wagons,
filed with household stuff, moving toward
the South, and thought that removals were
equal to 100 per day. Tho larger part of
the women and children had already left;
but the men remained behind rs a guard.
Among those who were thus removing wore
the families of Brigham Young and Heber
G. Kimball. Many of the Mormons did
not approve Of this removal and went very
reluctantly. Probably it was this portion Of
them that we're preparing to welcome Gov.
Cummings. The current report was that
tho trains werc destined for the White
Mountains in tho southwestern part of tho
Territory. Brigham preached very de-
nunciatory sermon on the Sunday before
Mr.. Gilbert's arrival, and was not at all sof-
tened in his asperity towards tho United
States

Lawrence w. Hall was elected to Cong
ress solcmnly pledged TO use all his infu-
ence and exert all his powers to procure o.
fair and impartial settlement Of tho Kansas
question: settlement that would give tho
people Of Kansas justice--that would re-
store to them the rights taken from them,
and give peace and tranquility to the ill-fa-
ted territory. We did not believe he would
redeem his pledges, and said SO at the time.
We had no confidence in his political hon
esty, and believed that upon all questions
ho would stick to the side having the plum
der to dispense, as closely as the buzzard
clings to carrion. We were right in our
conjecturos and recent events have provedit.
He has shown himself to be all wo asserted.
Ho has broken every ono Of his pledges,
and did it in such manner, that no one
can fail to sec his treachery. Ho has voted
on both sides. He opposed the Lecompton
movement just long enough to make his
vote valuable to the administration, and
then supported il. He was as bitter in his
denunciations Of the Lecompton villainy as
the great Cox himself--ho backed down ~
miserably as Cox did, and the only partic.
ular in which hc improved upon Cox was
in not attempting to defend his vote. He
has done very dirty trick, he is conscious
Of it, and is shrew enough to keep close
mouth upon an action which he knows ho.
cannot defend.
Hall is dead cock in the pit. His glo-
ry has departed-his sun has sot forever
His treachery has disgusted those who were
his warmest friends, and should he have the
hardihood to face the people of the District,
this fall, rs a candidate, he will como out Of
the contest the worst used up man that cv-
or sold constituency.
Green voted for the Nebraska bill, and
Watson was elected by $500 majority
Hall betrayed his constituency in same man
ner, and the Republican candidate next fall
will be elected by majority equally largo.

Col. THOMAS L. KANE.-This gentleman
has taken the wind out Of tho sails Of the
Administration and its Peace Commission
crs most effectually. Five months ago he
started for Salt Lake City which place he
reached by way of California; whsn arrived
there he persuaded Brigham on tho strength
of old acquaintance, to invite Gov. Cum
ming to the capital. lie opened commuii-
cation with Camp Scott, persuaded tho
Mormons of the folly of resistance, and ac-
complished unaided, all that the Govern
ment proposed to do with that largo force at
Loavenworth and at an expense of about
S2O000,00O. 1t is not of course claimed
that treaty of peace has been concluded
with tho Mormons, but tho way has been
opened to settle this imbroglo without
bloodshed. Whatever praise may be ac-
corded to Col. Kane by the country, for this
good act, ono thing is certain. Tho Ad-
mnistrntion and Congress will look upon
him with anything but feelings of warm re-
gard. He has kicked over colossal scheme
Of plunder which those powers had set their
hearts upon. Ho will receive their curses
The Washington Union has rotracted
what it gave currency to some days ago
that Col. Kane was a Mormon.-Register.
