We the representatives Of the psople

against this violence upon our Constitu.
tion, and upon our people, aud DO here.
BY. counsel and advise all friends of pop.
ular Government to submit to this force
and fraud only until at tho ballot bog,
operating through the elections, this
great wrong can be put right. There il
No law in She land over the Constitutional
law. There is no Government but the
Constitutional Government, and hence all
bayonet.made, all Congrsss.imposed con.
stitutions are Of no weight, authority or

in pursuance thereof.
We protest then, in behalfof the FREQ

tablished in Arkansas Ur elseW hero iu the

tors and negroes in the administration Of

We demand in the name of the fathers
Of the Constitution and for tho sake of
postcrity not its reconstruction, but the
restoration Of that sacred instrument,
which has been to all Of Us o pillar Of

and, in all solemuity, before God and

Vices OF Genius.

Coleridge was such slave to liquor
that he had to he kept an unwilling pris.
oncr by Christopher North, on an occa
sion when some literary performance had
to be completed by certain time, and on
that day, without taking leave OF any
member Of the family, he run off at full
speed down the avenue to Ellary, and
was soon hidden, not in the groves Of the
valley, but in some obscure den, where,
drinking among low companions, his
magnificent mind was soon brought to the
level Of the vilcst of the vilc. When his
spree was over he would return to the
society Of decent men.
DeQuincy was such slave to tho use
Of opium that his daily allowance was Of
more importance than eating. An ounce
Of laudanum q day prostruted animal lifo
during the forenoon. 1t was no unir-.
qucnt sight to find him asleep on a rug
before the fire IN his own room, his head
on book. and his arms crossed on his
breast. When this torror from the OPT.
UNI had passed away, he was ready for
company until about daylight. In order
to show him off, his friends had to ar.
range their supper parties SO that sitting
until three or four in the afternoon he
might DO brought to that point at which
in charm Of power and conversation he
was SO truly wonderful.
Burns was not less drunkard than
Co!eridge. 1t was the weakness of Charles
Lamb. And who can remember the last
days Of Poe without an irrepressible re-
grct? lie was on his way to marry a
coufiding Woman, stopped in Baltimore
and was found by a man whs knew him,
in state Of beastly intoxication, uncon.
scious as log, and died thst night in the
rawlings Of dslirium tremens.
Douglas Jerrold was dcvotec Of gin !;
SO, also, was Byron. Steele, the brilliant
author Of the "Christian Hero" was q
beastly drunkard. Men wrote of him,
that he would dress himself, kiss his wife
and children, tell them lie about his
pressing engagements, heel it over to q
groggery called the "Store," and have q
revel with his bottle companions.
Rollin says Of Alexander the Great,
that the true poison which brought him
to his end was wine.
The Empress Elizabeth, Of Russia, was
completely brutified by strong liquor.
She was often in such q state Of bacchic
ecstacy during the night that she could
not be dressed in the morning, and her
attendants would loosely attach her robes
which few clips Of the scissors would
disengago in the evening.
Let every man, especially those in
public, who desires to avoid drunkard's 8
death, remember that he is on the crumb.
ling verge of such an iniamy, when he
begins to feel that in order to prepare
himself-the doctor for consultation, the
lawyer for cause, the clergyman for a
sermon, tho politician for q speech, he
must take pint of coffee, or plug Of
opium; and the selfsame moment of that
discovery let him put his foot down, raise
bis hand, and swear that, by the help Of
God, he will never taste another grain or
drop as long as life remains. This is the
emily safety.

The Old Mornsn Temple iu Kirkland

The old Mormon temple at Kirkland,
Ohio. so famous in the history of Nor.
monism, is now the property Of wealthy
Mormon residing in Chicago, and was
sold, with the land on which il stands, at
sheriff's sale, for the nominal sum of
$3.50. $500 has been expended in re-.
pairs, 60 that tho building although do.
spoiled of its original elegance, may be
made to eudurc, . monument of the mis-
taken zeal Of its founders, for many years
to come. Tho houses once owned and
occupied by Joseph Smith and Sidney
Rigdon are still standing in the neigh.
borhocd, as are also some other buildings,
whose associations are moro or less mem.
orablc. But few of the faithful, however,
remain, tho most prominent being the
venerable Martin Harris.
Tho temple is situated on the summit
Of Kirkland hill, is builtof cut stone and
10 one the largest edi6ces in the State.
In its construction several hundred Of
the deluded followers Of Joel Smith Ia
bored for many months, and they had
just completed and held one or two meet
ings within its walls, when the prophets
and their tribe marched from Kirkland
town never to return.
At the foot of the hill lies tho beauti.
ful valley, through which runs Willough.
by river, known a. Kirkland Flats. Kirt.
land consists Of two villages, one on the
hill near the temple, and the other on the
fats. The temple is two and half
miles from Willoughby.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. GRANT.

Boston, Dec. 4.-Gen. Grant visited Lowell
to-day, arriving there in company with the
mayor and committee of the city government
at ten o'clock, in special train. The party
took carriages at the depot and visited Merri-
mack, Lawrence and Carpet mills. 1t was
no liday in the city, the schools being dismissed
and the mil suspended work. The stores and
residences were profuseiy decorated. The
streets were througed with thousands OF people,
who loudly cheered the visitor as he passed
along. The inspection of the mills occupied
two hours when the General was again driven
to the depot and took another special train for
Boston, a collation. being partaken of in one of
the cars on the trip down.
On his arrival h-re he visited several of the
leather warehouses aud then drove to his hotel,
where in the afternoon he gave public recep-
ton. Ia the evening he was the guest of Will
liam Gray at dinner and tomorrow morning
he goes to Providence.
THE TRIAL OF THE MURDERER ANDREWS.
The government closed their testimony in
the iai of Samuel NJ. Andrews for the muir
der of Cornelius Holmes, at Plymouth, to-day,
and the opening address for the defence was
made. The closing testimony was in reference
to the making of will by the deceased, and
showed that Andrews was instrumental in
having it made, but was particularly anxious
after the murder not to have it known that he
was aware a will existed which was in his ia
vor. Testimony was also given showing that
the pockets in Holmes coat had been examined
by the murderer
The defence admits the killing but claims
that deceased attempted nameless crime and
that Andrews was driven by frenzy to kill him,
and that he did not proclaim it from the fact
that Holmes had left his property to him in his
will. 1t is also claimed that the prisoner is and
was insane, having been born of an insane
mother and nursed insane milk.

The demand for boots and shoes in this market,
though not particularly active is fair for the season
with prices ruling steady and firm. The shipments
OF boots and shoes. although not very large, denote
widely extended trade in which the more Southern
points largely represented, and orders are being
received for goods particularly adapted to the South
ern market. This trade, regret to learn are de-
manding low priced class of work, very many of
the orders expressing the wish for suneting cheap
which can be sold at low figure. Under such or
ders buyers cannot expect to receive the best
a fair sample OF Easte manufactures, with mate
rals and labor at the extreme high prices OF the res
ent time Manufacturers do the best they can for
the price 'limited and the distant tiade must not
expect too much from "brogan'' costing from SOC
to 81 %, as at thus time all such goods must
ry be made of the cheapest stock, in fact shoddy"
aud nothing more. Indications continue favorable
for the trade the next season; but do not as yet,
warrant the making up of large stocks, which nva-
riably unsette the market at the commencement of
season and retard sales, for buyers always wait il
goods are in excess of the demand and held by man.
