1.-THE length of the several contributions in
this weeks Issue is our excuse for the scanty APP
pearance of editorial matter We took some
pains in preparing lengthy article ON Kansas,
and We're going to take advantage of the editor
absence and publish it, which, if we could do
so, we feel sure would immortalize our name,
but which is crowded out, and perhaps it is
Just as well, as we are in no hurry to become
immortalized, particularly in the manner in which
said article would be likely to do. The fact of
The business is, we took occasion to speak of Old
Buck and his fre-eatng supporters in such a
manner as to make us fear, could they get a
glimpse at it, they'd elect us to the next presi-
dency, the thoughts of which make us shudder.-
To receive the favor and support of such thing
as Old Buck, we fear, would be an objectionable
sin, which would doubtless take us to purgatory,
where, if Old Buck should possibly obtain so high
a position in the lower regions and chance to be
there, the suffering would be increased ten-fold.

UTAH AFFAIRS.

we find in the New York Herald of
the 18th, several discourses of Brigham
Young and other "saints" of Salt Lake
These discourses are teeming full OF
abuse to the United States, and declare
pointedy the hostile course they will
pursue should the United States attempt
to interfere with them. Elder Taylor af
ter exulting over how Brigham will wipe
out the United States Army, says:
"When the United States muster their forces
and the devil combines his forces against us. the,
God Will combine his forces against them but
we do notwant women to 60 out and fight bu
we want them to stay here and raise everything
Tor our comfort and consolation"
lie then exhorts the women to learn tc
become good and Industrious wives, ani
to rear their children up to work. He is
opposed to nasty fashions" especially
hoop skirts, which seem to have worked
their way to that "holy place." and he
begs them, for the love of Brigham, to
quit their abominable practice of girting
themselves up so, or that, if they don't,
they will +" destroy the strength of their
lolns, and take a course to inure their
posterity," which we think very good adj
vice, and applicable to our own women.
He then exhorts the men to quit :" the
evil tenor of their ways" to pay atten-
ton to their master, Brigham, and be-
come good soldiers, and that if they do
the angels of the Lord will protect them
from all harm. He says: at is true
that we are the best people there is on
the earth; but still there is a great ma
ny things | don't like to see, and one is,
when men get up party | don't like to
see drinking whiskey the very first thing
that is introduced, and especially to go
so far as to pollute themselves" lie
then concludes by saying:
We are Gods representatives, and if you
want to know whether you will ever 90 into the
presence OF God, | Can tell you that you never
will unless you learn to obey your brethren.-
Then live to sustain the authorities of this king
dom by your works, and we shall live scores of
years. Brother Brigham never will die by the
hand of an enemy, neither will /, nor any of you,
If you will do your duty; brother brigham is
just as secure as the roots of tree, if every limb
performs its duty"
We regret that we have not room to
publish a more detailed account of these
ridiculous sermons or discourses.

to use medicines in such manner that they are
perfectly pleasant to their patients thus avoiding
the necessity OF insulting and perverting their
tastes. The advantages of such coarse can
hardly be appreciated, and are strkngly ap-

not witnessed the deleterious consequences of
forcing medicine down children, and how many

INTERESTING FROM PANAMA.

We have news from the Isthmus as
late as the 4th inst. 1t was rumored
that whatsis called the Cass Herren trea-
ty had been ratified by the Senate of
New Grenada. We have before us a
very remarkable paper, emenating from
the Attorney General of the nation, Sc
nor Florentino Gonzales, which we would
be glad to place before our readers, but
which our limited space forbids. 1t con-
stitutes portion of his report to Con-
gress, in presenting to that body for its
action, the new Constitution. In this
report, Senior Gonzales recommends, if
the Constitution shall not be considered
adapted to the necessities of the country,
that the eight States of New Granada
annex themselves to the United States.
His report proves that our wonderful ma
tional prosperity is setting these people
to thinking, Notwithstanding all their talk
about the superiority of the Latin" over
the Vulcanic" race. Florentino Con
zales asks the Senate, if the Constitution
is not adapted to their wants, "What
shall their course be ?" and answers:
D." Tie Incorporation Of tie States Of
New Granada into tie american Union,
under tie same conditions as tie States
that already torm Mat Contederdcy.
If we do not fcorganize ourselves on
a solid basis, such an incorporation is for
us the means of resolving the difficulties
under which we labor.

main in the situation that we are now in"

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

The latest advices from Washington represent
that the Administration despairs of being able to
affect any accommodation between the tive
Houses, consequently abandons all hope of com.
promise upon the Lecompton question. After
bankrupting the country by encouraging the for
eign importation of British fabric to the prostra-
tion of the American manufacturing interests,
the Buchanan Democracy seem bent on making
iuin and disaster as wide spread as possible.
They are issuing millions upon millions of treas
ury votes to cover up their deficiencies and sup
port vast army of placement, but great national
measures which deeply concern the people must
be set aside.
We are not surprised that Gen. jackson should
use the following language referring to James
buchanan. "My political life has no greater err
ror to atone than my neglect to crush this reptile
of Pennsylvania when had him in my power"
Well, IL is most efiectuality doing fer himself
what Old Hickory regretted he had not done
He has betrayed the people, and their honest in
iiignaticn is upon him.

EXECUTION OF GEORGE sToyALL.

AT quarter past eleven o'clock, April
9th, within the walls of the Parish Pris-
on, New Orleans, George Stovall, man
whose life has run over half century,
was hanged, as the law of Louisiana d.
reefs for the murder of Mary Ray Du-
nard, who had lived with him las his mis-
tress for some months previous to the
bloody termination of their sinful inter-
course. On the gallows, as during the
interval of time since the commission of
the crime, says the Delta, Stovall main
tanned firm and penitental demeanor,
acknowledging the dreadful deed he was
guilty of, and willing to meet any pun
ishment that is merited.

| AS 1T SHOULD BE.-The imports of for.
/ eign Dry Goods at the port of New York
for the month of March, are $3,60O,17O
less than for the same period of last year,
and $5,145,6S9 less than for March, 1856.
This is as it should be. We raise the
raw material, and should manufacture it
ourselves. Our people are beginning to
get their eyes open. The total receipts
of foreign dry goods at the port of New
York since the first of January, are $751;
06S,912 less than for the same time last
year, and 14,S22, 7SS less than for the
corresponding three months of 1885,
The total receipts of foreign dry goods
for the nine months of the current fiscal
year are S5S,690,55S, which is just so
much money going from the country for
the same length of time for nothing.
