Later from Utah.

St. Louis, June "a dispatch from
Leavenworth, dated the 1st, says that
intelligence from Camp Scott to the
9th May had been received at the Fort
on that day. $500 ~ -rss
Two Mormons from the city came
into the camp, having dispatches from
Gov. Cumming for Secretary Cass.
The troops expected to move towards
the Valley by the end of May.
Nothing was known in the camp at
that date of any proceeding within the
city. The foregoing came by mail
from the Fort. The expressmen who
brought it, supplied the following par
ticulars:
They left Laramie on the 18th. AT
Kearney the commanding officers di-
rected him to inform Col. Monroe that
he had information that Gov. Cumming
had been expelled from Salt Lake City,
and that the Mormons were in arms
and determined to resist the army to
the last, and requesting Col. Monroe
to push on as speedily as possible.
This information was received at
Kearney through a mail brought by
this messenger, to whom it was com
municated verbally, for lack of time.
Col. Hofiman's command was met
20 miles beyond Laramie. He had
encountered snow three feet deep, and
lost many animals. All the streams
were very high. asa
The Peace Commissioners had
passed Laramie, and were obliged to
swim the Platte at the latter post.
1t was reported that the troops at
Camp Scott were living on mule meat.
No official intelligence was received
at the Fort, but the authority for the
foregoing was considered unquestion-

THE CASS COUNTY REPUBLICAN,
DOW A GIA G.:
Senator WILSON'S speecb.

We invite the attention of every can
did, sober, self-thinking man to the
very able speech of Hon. Henry Will
son, of Mass, which we publish in our
columns to-day. 1t is an able exposi-
ton of the startling condition of our
National Finances, and should be read
by every voter in the country.
The present Administration promises
to be the most reckless and extravagant
of any Administration since the forma-
ton of the government. Mr.. Buchanan
requires S45, 100000 over and above
the entire revenue of the country to
carry on the government for one year,
and this, too, in a time of profound
peace. 1t is estimated that 100000
900 will be required to meet the ex-
penditures of the Administrator during
the present year, and the entire revenue
is estimated at $50, 100000, thus leav-
ing dehclt OF S45 100000 to be made
up in some way. And where is this
vast amount of money coming from ?
The present Administration will not
recommend or sanction any modifca.
ton of the tariff, and hence the only
way of raising the money will be to
borrow it, and then tao the people to
pay the debt. This immense debt
will hang over and curse the country
for years.
We hope the people will examine
this matter for themselves. Senator
Wilson has here given the facts, and
backed them up by figures. Read them
and ponder them well, and see if you
can sanction the retrograde course the
country is now pursuing under the
present weak and incompetent Admin
istration. 9 9b

The News from Utah.

The news received from day to day
from this Territory is very conflicting
twill be seen from the news which we
publish in another column that it is
reported that Gov. Cummings had
been driven from Salt Lake City, and
that the Mormons were in arms and
determined to fight the United States
troops.
1t will also be seen that the Peace
Commissioners sent out by the govern
ment have passed Fort Laramie, and
are still pushing on for their place Of
destination.
The Washington correspondence OF
the Post says the Secretary of War has
dispatches from Col. johnson confirm
ing the report that Gov. Cummings has
been driven out of Salt Lake City.
The n. Y. Tribune also says the
report that Gov. Cummings has been
expelled from Salt Lake City, is con-
frmed by Government dispatches from
Fort LeayenW0fJn. IL is tnougnG III
the Army, and by the War Department,
that the war, so far from being over, is
about to begin. Time will show.
The St. Louis Democrat received a
dispatch on the 5th, dated Fort Leav-
enworth June Sd, as follows: "Wm.
Crossman arrived here last night from
Fort Laramie, and states that Captain
Marcy's train had been cut off by the
MOrmOns."
The following news was telegraphed
from st. Louis under date of the 5th,
which seems entirely to contradict the
news above referred to-:
The Republican learns from a gen.
tleman who left Leavenworth on the
Sd, and who read all the letters from
Camp Scott to May 9th, that the news
of Gov. Cumming being driven from
Salt Lake City is discredited. Letters
from Camp Scott of latest date men
tons no such event, and nothing was
known there of what had transpired in
the city, there being no official inter-
course between Gov. Cumming and
Col. Johnston.

What do the honest Democrats of

What do the honest Democrats of
1856 think of this new doctrine ?
Where now is that little stump speech
in the Nebraska bill which declared its
true intent and meaning to be " not to
legislate slavery into any territory or
to exclude it therefrom, but to leave
the people thereof free to form and
regulate their domestic institutions i,a
their osc,a ,oay," upon which they relied
with so much confident assurance
Alas for those "honest Democrats -
Slavery is now q right under the Con-
stitution! Alas for Popular Sover-
eighty; the people have no poacer until
admitted into the Union, to enforce
their anti-slavery sentiments. The good
old Democratic principle used to be
different; its platform and policy said,
Freedom is the common law of the
Territories; Slavery cannot exist with
out the sanction positive law. There
can be no Slavery in the Territory of
Kansas unless the people choose to
have it, and provide for it by law. If
a slave is taken to any Territory in
which there are no laws sanctioning the
right of slave property, that slave be-
comes free man upon placing his foot
upon the soil. Let the people regulate
their own affairs in their own way"
Such was the voice of its press, of its
orators, of its leaders. But now the
tune is changed and the black platform
of South Carolina nullifers, of Mississ-
ippi and Georgia Disunionists and Vir-
ginia propagandists has taken its place.
Slavery exists wherever the Constitrl.
ton is carried, and it's highest and only
function is to increase the area OF
human bondage, and extend protect.
ing Egis over the piratical and inhu-
man traffic in the flesh and blood of the
bodies of helpless men, women and
children. This is democracy" now.

The, Wool .MARKET.-But very lit
tie has as yet been said in regard to
this important product of our country.
Eastern market reporters seem to talk
in very indefinite and unsatisfactory
tone. The marketing time for wool is
now near at hand, and everybody seems
anxious to know about what the prob
able price will be. There is still large
surplus in the market. Owing to the
financial crisis through which the
country has just passed, but little COM
paratively, has been done in the manu-
featuring line. Hence, we think that
the coming crop will largely increase
the surplus, and tend to bring the
prices down. We clip the following
from the Ohio Culticator:
Wool buyers approach their work
very cautiously, and prices will open
eight or ten cents lower than the ruling
rates last year. Many Of the manufac-
turers need to buy on time, on account
of the difficulty of negotiating their
paper in banks for cash, as formerly"
The Michigan Farmer thinks that
the clip this year will be much smaller
than it was last season, and gives the
following reasons: {" In the first place
the clip of last year was not taken from
the sheep in large portion of the
northwest, until it was nearly three
weeks to a month later than usual, so
that the actual growth of wool would
be deprecated nearly 10 per cent. In
the next place, neither the season OF
last summer nor the past winter has
been such as to promote good growth
of wool, and again good sheep have
been wanted by the butchers, and have
been in better demand than cattle, the
supply being less, showing that the
number of sheep had not largely in
creased"
But all accounts agree, however, in
the opinion that for immediate uses,
low prices must be accepted by those
who are obliged or determined to sell
as soon as the. clip is off the sleeps
back. There is at this time such a
combination of circumstances to fix the
prices lower, in fact, than they should
be, that the farmers must endeavor to
be prepared for it. The following are
the rates at Boston and New York, as
quoted in the Michigan Farmer;

Desperate Battle in Northern Texas.

New ORLEANS, June I've have
received later intelligence from Texas,
by which we learn of desperate battle
that was fought in the northern part of
the State, between the Rangers, under
Capt. Ford. and large body of Ca
manche Indians. The fight was run
ming one of six miles, and resulted in
the defeat of the Indians, seventy-six
of whom were killed, several wounded,
and seventeen taken prisoners. Three
hundred horses were also captured by
whites. Capt. Ford's loss was only
two killed and two wounded; one of
the killed was a white, and the other
an Indian who fought under Ford.

The Supreme Court rendered a
decision on the matter of the claim of
the Circuit Judges for back pay, on
Monday morning last. The decision
was unanimous against the legality of
the claim, Chief Justice Martin not

The decision was an able one, and one
which will doubtless accord with the
views of the people, as their pockets
would have been taxed to have paid
this claim had it been allowed.

The Difficulty with England.


vail to quite an extent at Washing
ton, although the latest intelligence
from that quarter indicates trifing
subsidency of the feeling. In the
meantime accounts from the gulf daily
bring the intelligence of cases where
our vessels are stopped, and compelled
to submit to being boarded by British
officers, and allowing these gentlemen
to overhaul their papers. These Off
GERS allege in every instance that they
have orders from their government to
act as they are now doing. No salts
factory reasons, however, have as yet
been given by the British government
for this outrageous conduct on their
part. We trust that our government
will firmly assert its rights, and demand
prompt redress for these gross insults
to the American flag. We hope, how
ever, to learn that these acts have not
been committed under the authority of
the Cabinet of Queen Victoria, and
that full PREPARATION may be obtained
without resort to arms.
The New York Courier and En-
Quirer, in remarking upon the probable
origin of the difficulty, suggests, that
some time ago, Mr.. Buchanan request
ed the transfer of the British fleet from
the coast of Africa to the vicinity of
Cuba, which was complied with, but
without change of orders. AS there
is no commerce of any account on the
coast of Africa, under the American
flag, except the slave trade, there all
ships are stopped bearing that flag.
The same thing would of course occur,
without change of orders, ON the
coast of Cuba, and "a, most serious an
-noyance and injury to commerce would
result. zoJ -. = -au
Upon the above suggestion, the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune remarks: "This expla-
nation accounts for the commission of
the outrages, but does not Justify, and
it hardly palliates the conduct of Great
Britain. The dignity of the country
and the rights of our. commerce must
be vindicatcd, at any cost or peril, but
this trouble has manifestly come upon
us from the completely of the govern
ment with the prostitution of its flag.
If we did not send Slavery officers
to the African squadron with lukewarm
orders, and if we had not a party at
home clamoriny for the revival of the
odious commerce, we should not hear
of American Slavery, or of foreigners
daring to desecrate the national colors
as a cover to their business. l know
it to be a. fact that the Southern naval
officers on the African station are IA
vorable to the slave trade, and / lately
saw letter from one of them, rejoicing
that the French were re-opening it,
under the name of the Apprentice
System" raa

and here, by the way, I must say that
the head of the State Department, in
his correspondence, talks very mildly
about these aggressions, especially
when we take into consideration the
warlike speeches we used to hear from
him on this floor.
Congress has already saved eight OF
ten million dollars by refusing to grant
the extravagant demands of the Exc
.cutive Departments, and more may be
saved. Sir, there is no proposition to
reduce expenditures, unless it be by de-
feating all private claim bills. Every
where: in every department, we are
pressed to increase the expenditures
rather than to reduce them; and / am
surprised that when you have borrowed
$40, 900, 900 to carry us through this
year-when you have exhausted it, and
now ask S15 ,OOO,O0 for. the first hall
of the next year-the Chairman of the
Committee on Finance should, in a bill
of this character, propose to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury to ap-
point two additional officers. There is
a section in this bill to create two ad
ditional officers, although the Govern
ment has spent this year s3s,000,0 0d
more than its receipts, and will have q
deficit next year of s45, 900, 900, if il
redeems its treasury notes. It is pro
posed to increase the strength of the
Treasury Department. / venture to
say that the force employed in the
several departments can be reduced

fer by it. There are men employed in
these departments who are absent
