NATIONAL Observation-Disclosures De
nocRAcY.-The Douglas and anti-Douglas
Democrats of Pennsylvania are particu-
larly amiable towards each other of late.
For instance, the State Sentinel, Demo
cratic anti-Lecomption paper published
at Harrisburg, uses the following mild
language toward the President:
"He is violator of pledges, an unwise,
unsafe, and corrupt Executive, q pro-
slavery disunionist, pirate in intention,
\ q tyrant, an apostate from Democracy, a
wool-dyed Federalist and disorganizer!' p
To which the Philadelphia Pennsylvan-
ian retorts by calling Messrs. Forney and
Hickman
"Red-mouth Abolitionists, corrupt and
rotten at the heart, capable of perpetra-
ting the foulest and blackest crimes, who
have lived all their lives on plumber,
stealing from the Treasury of the Gov
eminent, and when the door was shut
against their wholesale stealing they turn
round and abuse the men and party who
guvo them Hfo." - - -
The UTAH REBELLIoN.-A Utah cores
pendent of the New York Times gives
a very unfavorable picture of the state of
things in Mormondom, Mr.. Buchanan
marvellous pacifcation, and the efforts of
the so highly estimated Gov. Cumming to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The wri-
ter above named comes to the following
important conclusion:
1t is now demonstrated beyond the pos
sibility OF doubt or contradiction that the
Mormons are determined not to submit
to Federal authority, or to any law or
government except that of the Church.
| "A W -. blstilCt SOuEt, tut OHlN court OF
record having criminal jurisdiction which
the organic act of the Territory has pro-
vided for cannot hold session unless it
acknowledges and submits to the superior
power of the Mormon priesthood, and
acts only in obedience to their dictates.
| A DoLoRoUs But GRAPHIC VIEW OF Hu-
MAN AFFAIRs.-A correspondent Of the
Wisconsin Chief thus sums up the char
acteristics of human existence:
| All confidence is lost between man and
man. The bottom has fallen out of eyery-
thing Shrewd business managers are
cheating God in ther professions, and the
devil in their bargains. Ginger is made
out of mustard, and coffee of chicory,
| Young Tyson is raised in the COW pasture,
and Young America in the dram shop
Pure wines are made of poor whisky, and
| Havannas of herbs. Rascality has become
a virtue, and whisky turned to vinegar
Legislatures are marked as merchants
mark goods, and the peoples funds alb
sorbed by charitable purposes"
Governors are knocked off for fifty
thousand dollars; legislatures from five
thousand to twenty thousand dollars
Railroad stock is down below zero. eau
cuses are "packed," and young men cleo
tioneer on the Sabbath. Fairbank s scales
have taken to swindling, and old rats sell
ling their tails to spike cannon. jews
haps are palmed off as harps of thou
sand strings, and Democrats as genuine
Republicans" sperits of just men made
perfect. Sausages are adulturated, and
tempting links seem to wag in the most
logged manner. Our Territory, as well
as our crinoline, is indefinitely expanding.
In fine, there are none truthful save horse
jockeys; none patriotic save politicians !;
none talented but those who make ''on
change OF grocery corner and cheat out
of the needy what they give to the Lord.
DIscoNTINUANCE OF THE OVERLAND MAIL.
Congress having failed at its last session
to make the usual appropriations for the
Post Office Department., the Postmaster
General has been induced to closely ex-
anime the service for the purpose of dis
continuing all that may be dispensed with
without material injury to the public SER
vice. The territorial routes between Noe
sha, Missouri, and Albuquerque, New
Mexico, and between Kansas, Missouri,
and Stockton, California, which were let
to contract last year, have accordingly
been discontinued-the discontinuance
to take effect from the LIST day of july
next Washington Star.
The Mosr FORMIDABLE ENEMY THE SourH
HAs-The Sourthen Citizen, democratic
journal, thus states who and what that
enemy is:
"But no good can come of ignoring the
fact that the democratic party is broken
and gone-that the Northern wing of It
is the most formidable enemy the South
has, and that the control, of it can only
be obtained by eternal compromise,
which means eternal submission"
ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER AND
BANK RoBBER.-The jackson Wing of the
Goth says: 1--WE understand that James
Rigdon Irwin, party suspected of being
concerned in the late murder and bank
robbery at this place, on the Sd of Febru-
airy last, was arrested by parties from this
county in pursuit of him. asfew day ago
