ST. LOUIS, June 7th-The Democrats Ieavenworth
correspondent furnishes details of Utah news, which,
however, contain nothing additional excepting that Col
Hofman's command had advanced only about 40 miles
from the lst to the 14th of May and would not reach
camp Scott before the 10th 18th of June. There is
nothing further relative to the cutting off of Captain
Marcys train.
Col. Andrews column was at Fort Kearney on the
18th.
The express from Laramie met COL Monroe at the
Big Blue, and Col. May at Clear Greek.
The mail from Utah of the 10th of April brings a
confirmation of the entry of Gov Cumming into Salt
Lake. but no other news.
Letters from camp Scott of the latest date mention
nothing of the report that Gov. Cumming had been ex-
PEELED from Salt Lake City, and nothing was known
there of what had transpred in the city, there being
official intercourse between Gov. Cumming and General
johnson. The dispatches from Gov. Cumming to Sec
Rotary Cass were received at camp Scott subsequent
the departure of the mail the 9Th of May and as the
news of Gov. Cummings expulsion was only derived
from the Mormon bearers of the mall the reports are
regarded as improbable. Information has reached camp
Scott that the supply of beef cattle from Oregon was
close at hand.

The Mass Meeting.

The proposition for an opposition Conven-
ton meets with universal reprobation. The
folly of it, as a Republican measure, is so
obvious, and the ruin it will entail upon the
anti-Lecompton party is so certain, that it is
impossible, in spite Of all the protestations
of its authors, not to believe it sugges-
ton of Niblack's friends. The Southern In
iianian condemns it in the following terms:
We can see no good that can result from
such Convention, while under the present
circumstances it may be the cause of much
harm, 10 the Republican party. We cannot
know by such Convention any more show
Judge Hovey stands than we do now lie

him to do So as matters now stand; and we
think il would be equally unwise in Repub-
licans to ask him to do so. We know now
about "what we can do; what we do not

CTAH.-A letter from Salt Lake saws
Gen. Johnson will make his present en-
campment the permanent military post for
the Salt Lake Valley. He had given strict
orders to his soldiery against struggling into
the city under any pretext, and thus the ter
riblc apprehcnsions OF their gallantry, en-
tertaincd by the polygamous saints, are
greatly allaycd.
Subsequently to that day and order, the
Mormons commenced their return into the
city, and the influx was very rapid, that by
the Sd inst, the streets were full of them
Brigham Young says he will submit to

wheat of most superior quality. Peace and
plenty prevailed, and there is no danger of
any further difficulty in that quarter

JUDGE NIBLAcK.-The Warrick Democrat
a supporter of Judge Niblack, gives the fol-
lowing version of his speech at Princeton.
In response to the nomination the Judge
said:
" That he did not consider the nomination
an endorsement of his course on the Kansas
question but his motives, he was sure,
were not impugned-were endorsed. He
thought both wings of the Democracy had
gone too far. He would not defend his po-
sition, he would not discuss an extinct issue,
which was now in the keeping alone of the
people of Kansas. Ii was an issue, he would
honestly acknowledge, that had resulted in
Congress in an anti-Lecompton triumph
he would make no issue upon Lecompton,
but leave the future to determine, according
to circumstances, the course he should pur-
sue"
The Judge understands the convention
not to endorse his acts but his n,otires. He
would not defend his position; he would
not discuss the issue; both sections of the
party were wrong; and from this confession
it would appear rs if he felt himself to bt
peculiarly in the wrong. We do not see
how he can sustain himself in the canvas
under such deep sense of his blindness anC
NYrorg doings. The convention was eau
GUS of ofice-helders and Office expectantS
and his motives for supporting the Lecomp
ton bill, as he has repeatedly acknowledged
was to maintain his influence with tn
President aud get Executive appointment
for these hungry friends. He might be sur
they would approve of these motives, though
they did not of his votes and acts.

WEST PoIST.-The recent board of visit
OTIS at West Point make a recommendation
to take away the selection of cadets from
the members of Congress and party poll
iticians, and throw the appointments open
to the competition of the youths of each
Congressional District. At.present the Sc
lections are made by the members of Con-
gess, who give them to political and per-
sonal favoriteS, without any regard to merit
or qualification. 1t the system be not
changed, it will bring ruin upon the insti-
tuition, for the people will not long endure
anything that is used or made subseryient
TO the benefit of few aristocratic Office
holders. An education ut West Point has
become an exclusive privilege for the sons
of members of Congress or their friends.

@-The vincennes Gazette, under plaus.

nH- The vincennes Gazette, under plaus-
iDle pretence to promote harmony and union
of effort among the opposition, proposes 9
convention of the masses at Princeton in
August. There is an insidious design in the
movement and the parties making it, are
by their folly or treachery doing moro harm
to the cause they have espoused, than its
worst open enemies. No protestations OF
good faith can shield them from the suspi-
cion of evil designs, for thedestructive consc-
queuces of their acts are too apparent to
suppose they DO not forsee them.
The people, and especially the opposition
part, want no conventions, nor any Of that
"wisdom that comes from multitude Of
counsellors,' formed of political intriguers
and mercenary strikers, in conclaye. The
Anti-Lecompton party here have repudiated
caucuses and all who adhere to them. 1t
is the demoralizing rule of conventions, and
of the political leaders that control them
which the independent voters of this dis
trict are now struggling to break down and
destroy for the future; and they have no
idea of stuldfying themselves nor running
the cause in which they are engaged by 60
ing into caucus with a set of intriguerS'
whose fidelity they have more than one rea-
son to suspect. The people are doing right
and viii vindicate their supremacy-and
accomplish a glorious triumph in October,
if permitted to act for themselves. They
need neither counsel or wisdom from those
who are so urgently profrering them. The
people hereabouts think themselves perfectly
capable of self government without any
further tuition from caucus leaders. They
have cut the leading strings and have nc
desire to re-tie them.
