A correspondent of the Milwaukee Wis.
oonsin, writing from Cedar River, Utah Ter
ritory, says:
a new trade is springing up between the
Utes and Piedes Indians-that OF buying
and selling squaws. AT Harmony, some 40
miles from Washington, the Piede Abram,
having squaw who signified her wish to
have a young husband, marched her before
the muzzle of his rifle to Cedar, where the
Utes were quartered, having come here for
the purpose Of buying squaws for the U. 5.
troops, and sold her to them so she had a
fair prospect of having her desires more
than grati6ed. 1t is understood that agent
q. Hurt is encouraging this trade.
GA few days since noise OF crying was
heard in the streets; went ont and saw an
Indian dragging along his squaw, while she
was bowling bitterly. Upon asking wha,
was the matter, he replied, "Kots ashinti
mi"-she don't want me; having also con-
ceivcd desire for another husband, and
probably she may be likewise accommodated
There are soldiers enough here who have
nothing to do or think Of but to furnish all
the disaffecsed squAws In the territory with
temporary husbands.

MEssRs. EpIroRs: The county has lately
been stumped ever by various speakers. One
OF them was a candidate on the Democratic
State ticket, and the other a gentleman from
Ohio, who places his hands in his breaches
pockets and in humility places his head on the
ground every time he says ''fcllow-citizens."
The last gentleman is but an illustration OF
the dus. and dirt into which every Locofoco
orator gets himself when he advocates Buch-
anan Democracy ms Justice did. The truth
is, Messrs. Editors, there is no Democratic
orator, especially the man who simply reads
Elmwood's speech, who dares meet a Repub-
lican on principle. The Democratic party
has no principle--can make no issue, and
say nothing, except to originate or repeat
falsehood and deception. The people through
the county say that the Democratic orators
sent to visit them were the most ignorant lit
tie men that ever addressed them on politics.
There WAS not man among them that dared
tell where he stood. When they were asked
to define themselves they were like Judge
Mason and another prominent Democrat; they
said they were sick, not accustomed to the
crister. The fact is, no Democrat can strad.
die Buchanan and Douglas. Tho man tina,

Some time since citizen OF Texas, Mr..
Joseph Head, was tied TO atrce, slipped and
logged in most unmcrciful manner, by or
der Of Capt. =. NJ. Barton, Commander Of q
military post on the frontier of Texas.
For this monstrous outrage, Barton was
arrested, tried before the criminal court Of
Bexar county, found guilty, and fnad in the
sum Of $500. His fne was promptly remit
ted by Gov. Runnels, and Barton went I'M
whipped OF justice.
Mr. Head then commenced an action for
damages against Barton, which has just been
determined at San Antonio.
The jury after short absence returned o
Aerdies for the plaintiff of $4,000.
On the trial ii was admitted By the counse
on both sides that II Head had shot Barton
dead Mt the time Of the outrage, he would
have been perfectly ius,ifablc; but this, i,
was shown, was wholly impossible, Us Bar

"THE PEOPLES PARTY. -

When man adds an alias to his name
every time he removes to new place or
embarks in n project, the public are very
apt to suspect that he is rascal and the
suspicion almost invariably proves correct.
What is true in this respect of an individ-
ual, holds good in the case of a political
party. The motive which prompts a man
to attempt to hide his misdeels of the
past by dropping the name under which
they were committed and to assume a
new one to re-enact the same rascality, or
some other equally detrimental to the
public good, is precisely the same that
prompts a political party to change its
name every year or two--its misdeeds, too,
have become so well known that it is q
matter of necessity with its leaders to
endeavor to deceive the public by spread.
ing an alias over them. The opponents
of the Democratic party are continually
Ipracticing this trick. One year we have
them, under the cognomen of Fedcralits
contending against us, then they are Anti
