INDIAN TRoUBLEs-There are grave Indian
troubles breeding in Western Utah, around
and between Carson Valley and California.
Every California mail brings accounts of
fights between the Indians and miners in
Carson Valley, and the latest reports from
Utah render it probable that there will be
entire interruption of the Pony Express
between California and the Missouri river
on account of these troubles When the
last two pony expresses left Utah there had
been no arrival from California, and the
fear Is that the Indians had not only stolen
all the horses at the stations west of Utah
but had destroyed the stations and killed
the keepers. Late accounts say there
mid Lake
Carson Valley, as our readers are aware,
is where the newly discovered silver mines
are located, and these have attracted all
that vile rubbish of population that ever
latest the region of important new d!scov-
cries of this kind Doubtless from such
| scoundrels the Indians have received pro-
| vocation enough to provoke them to the
most desperate measures, and an inter
minable and bloody Indian war will pro-
, badly be the consequence.
FROM MExICo.-The latest news from
Mexico is of the greatest importance. The
party Of Juarez-the leader of the Lib
erals and the intlexible opponent Of the
/ pretencions of the Catholic Church and
| priestly ruie-was about breaking up
! Several members Of the Cabinet had re-
tired, among them Sr Lerdo de Tejda, the
| head and front Of the movement and a
! financier of eminent skill upon whom the
pecuniary duties of the government have
rested; reyerSes had overtaken the army
! in more Than aro encounter; and affairs
We're generally in deplorable condition
The only hope Of his party at last advices
was in the ratification Of the treaty by the
L. S. Senate; and that, unfortunately, we
think, has failed The next advices may
bring Us news that Juarez has left the
country, and that the priests absolu-
lists are again in the enjoyment of undis-
puted power

gGT They denounce it as an outrage and
disgrace to the State, as wrong in its doc,
trine, and as peace offering by our judicia,
ry to the libelists who accuse us of repud:a-
ton. The people will have, next spring, a
chance to pass on one of the judges who rem
dered the decision.
Thus talks the Madison argus relative to
the manner in which our Supreme Court dis
posed of the Farm Mortgage question before
it two or three weeks ago. There was not q
paper in the State, last spring, that howl.
more Justify for Judge Dixon and against
Judge Sloan and the Republican party, than
this same argus. 1t then was decidedly
wrong to oppose Judge Dixon, as the Dem
ocrats charged that we did oppose him, for
his having pronounced a decision that was
not acceptable to large body of the Repub
lican party; but noac it is all right to throw
Judge Cole overheard, for having felt con-
strained to render decision that does not
meet the views of the modest and delectable
sheet from which we quote. No one, we be-
lieve, questions Judge Dixon's honesty or
purity of motives in the decision he made
then, nor, SC far as we are aware, does
any one claim that Judge Cole is not
equally honest and sincere nosc. 1t is clearly
evident that, according to the argus, what
is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the
ronHarr 81.

The Lacrosse Union is out with au article
favoring the running of single electoral
ticket in this State by the Douglas and Brock
enriGge wings of the Democracy, in order to
carry it against Lincoln. The Madison DR..
gus iuclines to treat the proposition kindly,
but just how they want it fixed up does not
transpire. Whether the terms between the
high contracting parties can be made perfect
ly satisfactory is matter of considerable
doubt. We wish they might, but while the
negotiations are going on we would suggest
that they also treat with the friends of Bell
and Houston and see if partnership cannot
be formed between all of our opponents at
the same time. In that case we might have
an interesting fight, whereas now, or with
the friends of Douglas and Breckenridge
only pitted against us in the support of one
ticket. we have nothing to do but walk over
the course with as little ceremony as possible.
By all means. gentlemen, get up joint stock
concern and give the Republicans something
to do. We promise you it shall be done up
in admirable style.

INSULT TO FREEMEN.
The Cloven Foot Exposed.
OFFICIAL DEMOCRACY OWNING MEN


AS late as the 18th of September, 1856,
Herschel V. johnson the Democratic candi,
date for Vice President, made a speech in
Philadelphia, in which he said
We believe capital should own labor; is
there any doubt that there must be laboring
class everywhere? In all countries and I'M,
der every form of social organization there
must be a laboring class-a class of men who
get their living by the sweat f their brow !;
and then there must be another class that
controls and directs the capital of the coun,
try" gre -vai a.e.. -a or gau
The imp of darkness himself cannot ex'
coed the impudence of the Democratic party,
in daring to nominate man who has the eff
frontery to stand up amidst northern freemen
and utter the revolving sentiment, we be-
lieve that capital should own labor" 1t in
cludes white men as we'll as black. Labor,
ing men of Watertown and vicinity, who are
so duped as 10 countenance and support the
democratic party, will not this open your
eyes? VIII you manufacture the lash which
is designed to smite you, and vote for man
who disgraces his age and his race, and gives
utterance to the most criminal sentiments
ever uttered, plainly involving that you ought
to be owned by the men for whom you labor
that they might whip you, maui you, choke
you, dc, &C., after the southern plantation
style, at their pleasure, and to their hearts
content as well as sell your wife and children,
and debauch your daughters before your eyes,
at their pleasure-all which is certainly inclu,
ded in the sentiment. He might as well
have said you ought to be made slaves
Wall sou, can you, vote for man, and for
party, who are laboring to make you slaves
We cannot believe it. Indignantly
repel the insult which las been offered to you
by the democratic party, in the nomination Of
such man. Douglas is not a whit better,
as his supporters have shown, by putting this
insulting petty despot upon the ticket with
him. There is not convict at Waupun,
whose crime is equal to this damning doe
trine uttered by this standard bearer of de-
mocracy. A mere child can see that theft,
forgery, 3 rson de-, &C., de-, are not an hun
dredth part rs great an evil to mankind as
slavery is to the men who endure it; and yet
democracy, with Johnson and Douglas in the
lead, would make all men slaves who honestly
labor for their bread. Let the laboring
men throughout the country arise and vim
dicats their rights, as something more than
this base and presumptuous villain represents
them to be.

same as we at the North can take our horses

the strong arm of the law and bring all the
powers of the general Government to bear in
its behalf. This, under ordinary circum

great mass of the southern Democracy but
having once been betrayed and cheated by
Douglas, they know better than to trust him
Hence they can cast him off, and will have
nothing more to do with him, though he is

most disgraceful professions of servility to

1t is pretended by few crazy people, that
Breckenridge is the regular democratic can
didate for President, and Douglas irregular
We do not feel bad about this assertion, as we
know where it comes from. Asinus has
plenty of Observation-Disclosures.
And we should not wonder if one of them
had strayed into the sanctum of the Jeter-
sonian and taken Clothiers place in the edi-
toral chair. The nomination of Mr.. Doug
las is not one whit more Irregular than that
of Mr.. Breckenridge; and if the editor of The
Jefersoniaa will examine the vote by which
Douglas was nominated, we think he will
concur in that opinion. According to the
terms of the resolution adopted by the Con-
vention, requiring tsoo-third cote to nomia
ate, the nominee, whoever he was, should
have received 203 votes, whereas Douglas
received only l8l IL, or 81 IL less than the
requisite number. He, therefore, is minor
ity candidate and cannot be said to have any
more claims upon the Democracy for their
votes, on the score of regularity" than he
could if his name had never gone before the
Convention. Those straight haired Democrats,
who always pride themselves on voting the
Irregular" ticket, will now find themselves
cup stump" with two irregular" candi-
dates, and neither one standing ghost of
chance for an election.

Es5@ At their State Convention in Detroit
the other day, the Democracy of Michigan
had rather serious time. One of the del
egates offered resolution inviting Gen. Cass,
who was in the city, to be present, but it was
promptly voted down. Another one endors-
ing the present Democratic Administration
was presented, and that too was sent to ''the
tomb of the capaulets,' after long and ang,y
discussion. In the course of the debate Mr..
A. Y. Murray, of Wayne Co., declared that
Douglas was the reptile that had caused all
the trouble in the party. Douglas had pitch
ed into Buchanan without reason, and he
considered him no more fit to be President
than that other arch traitor, Benedict Ar,
mold"
We really fear that the Michigan Democ>
racy are in bad way.
Judge Dixon, of Wisconsin, who was
elected last spring to the Supreme Court Of
that State, has come out for Douglas. Wis,
consin is good for Douglas in November
Chenango N. I Union. ss.
We assure our friend of the Union that
statements like the above may do very well
for the meridian of Chenango, but to US Out
here they sound supremely ridiculous
Judge Dixon has not "come out for Doug
las,' but on the other hand ardently desires
the success of Lincoln. We give this upon
authority that cannot, in the least, be ques
toned.
As to Wisconsin being good for Doug
las in November" that is all nonsense. You
can't find Democrat here who claims any.
thing of the kind. 1t is conceded by every
one that Lincoln will carry the State; the on
ly question in the premises being as to how
large majority he shall have. The Demo
Gratis don't want it to exceed 5000, while the
Republicans propose to have it range some
where from 1000 to $4,000.
