Judge Trimble-the immortal Trimble--
who is in the habit of making tour of obser-
vation prior to each annual election to hunt
up the Democratic party, has recently been
down the Des Moines and up the Mississippi,
| in company with some other notables of the
same persuasion to take the soandings. They
met with considerable encouragement at Ken-
| kuk, ana were SO flattered with the prospect
that before they left the city they determined d
Upon the success of certain contingency
TO organize. They saw over one hundred ne
groes in the corporation to operate against
and concluded to operate-provided they
could get the military to take the lead. They
| felt the pulse of some half dozen soldiers, and
regarded the symptoms favorable. Feeling
deeply concerned however, for the public
interest they were disposed to extend their
field of operation, and went up the river to
Davenport. Here they were further encour-
aged by the sight of more negroes. They
also felt the pulse of few more soldiers, and
determined to organize at once. A grand
Convention has therefore been called Of all
persons opposed to the negro becoming a
member Of the body polite, to nominate State
officers. The plan is for the old hunkers who
have heretofore led the party, to take back
seats and make no display, excepting as they
can do it without being known through GER
tain soldiers that they expect to make cats
paws of, who are to be placed in the front.
These old bankrupt partizans are very desir-
GUS to be pulled out of the mud, and to get
rid Of the odium that attaches TO them on ac-
count of their opposition to the Adminis:ra-
ton and the war, and If they can by deception
and fraud get q sufficient number Of the brave
boys to work for them, they have an idea that
their sins, in measure, can be covered up
or forgotten Vain delusionl Their Copper
headism will stick to them to the third and
fourth generation. White-wash them to-day

RR1GHAM YOUNG is a man Of about

BRIGHAM YOUNG is a man of about
medium height, with an immense
chest, giving assurance of tremendous
vital energy. His head is large,
forehead high, round and broad, his
hair and whiskers incline to auburn,
and though he is ca years Of age,
scarcely a gray hair can be seen, and
not wrinkle detected upon his red
expressive face. His nose resembles
the hawks bill, and his lips, firmly
closing, with bis blue and at times
flashing eyes, betoken the great force
and indomitable energy which he has
always manifested. As some one said
OF Napoleon, "he is one Of the favored
few born to command" He is also
one Of the shrewdest and most cum
ming Of men, and sensible 10 the pow
er money gives, and withal, possessed
OF business talents of the highest or
der, he is now, it is believed, one Of
the wealthiest men in the nation
While he lives, the Mormon commu-
nifty (unless he and they determine to
defy the laws of Congress on the sub
ject Of polygamy) will grow and pros
per; but that firm hand and iron will
must. ere long, despite his regular and
strictly temperate habits (he uses no
tobacco nor liquor Of any kind,) trem.
BILE and bow before the resistless march
Of time; and when Brigham Young
sleeps with his fathers then will come
the searching test before which, we
predict the whole Mormon fabric will
crumble to the dust, II may, and
doubtless will continue to exist as
religious sect, but as compact and
tremendously effective organization,
its power will cease when Brigham
Young's heart is forever still. In the
settlement Of his vast estate among
his two score and more Of wives and
some sixty children, there is ample
room for quarrels and law suits potent
enough to break up the entire commu-
nifty.
