Wet Smith and Rigdon of theft and forgery
in court of justice. If the proof were
any less strong than it is, would decide
against the Spaulding claim, solely from
the internal evidence of the book; for the
style and matter are such as to raise very
strong presumption that it could not be
the work of any man with intelligence
enough for minister, or of a graduate
from Dartmouth College But the true
theory no doubt is, that the writing of
Spaulding was taken by Smith, Rigdon,
Cowdery and others, as the suggestion and
idea Of their work; but it was greatly mod
flied and interpolated by them, leaving
sufficient characteristics to be recognized
by the Spaulding witnesses, who were left
solely to their memory for comparison
with the Book of Mormon" recognizing
what was in it, and forgetting much that
was not included.
OF the "three witnesses" it is unneces-
sary to treat; their subsequent course shows
what weight is to be attached to their tes-
timony. The best evidence furthermore
shows, that Sidney Rigdon was the prime
mover in the fraud, and that Joe Smith
was conveniently put forward as the Proph-

Boston Wool Market.

In ;he wool market, there has been /
more business doing than for several
weeks past, and the sales, including
new clip California, foot up a large
aggregate. But there is no improve .
ment in prices ID note, sellers meet F.
ing the market very freely at quoted
rates. The tardy movements Of the
new clip, and the uncompromisinr at
titude Of producers throughout the
wool growing regions, have induced
manufacturers to supply themselves
quite literally in the Eastern markets.
They have been able to DO so, and to
obtain desirable grades Of old wool.
at prices not much higher than are
asked, in some parts Of the country,
for corresponding grades Of new.
Farmers are probably counting up
on a speedy exhaustion of supplies
now in the hands Of manufacturers
and dealers, when they think the lat
ter will be forced to come to them
and buy the new clip at such prices
as they may choose to dictate. But
such an emergency is not likely to
arise, if at all for some time to come.
Ola wool is still coming in freely. and
the stocks are ample to meet the re-
quirements Of consumption for sever
al weeks ahead. In the meantime,
the California and Texas clips are be-
ing pushed forward with unusual
promptitude and the necessities Of
small farmers, in the Western and
Middle States, will compel them to
realize before many days have elaps-
ed.
But thus far, very little new West
crn wool has been received here, and,
as far as we can learn, there is not
much on the way. The fact Is, there
is material difference of views be
tween buyers and sellers, and until
one or the other shall yield, or a com
promise can be effected, very little
j progress can be made in marketing
the new clip. Operators are offering
from 30 to 40c for the various growths,
as the run, of Western, Michigan,
Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania
heeces, bnt thus far have succeeded in
obtaining only small lots at these fig
ures. They do not count it safe to
90 higher, all things considered, while
most holders are asking from 9 to ;
cents above these rates.
In some Of the Western States, the
clip is probably smaller than last year ;
but this deficiency is more than made
mp by the increase in the South, and
in the crops of Texas, New Mexico
and California. The sales of the past
week include few large lots Of fine
domestic fleece, at rather low figures
! and the usual liberal proportion 0

FRIEND CAMP:-The last Standard con-
tanned an article showing the situation of
our State politics. The gubernatorial
question seems to be settled, so we have
only District and County political affairs
TO talk over this time. In the article al
luded TO Mr.. Earle speaks with intense
bitterness of the present member of Con-
gress from this district, and mentions the
name of the Hon. G.. w. Hendee and Brad
ley Barlow, as being the present candidates
for congressional honors before the next
convention. This is all very well, but in
his list he has entirely overlooked better
man every way than either of them, and a
citizen of his own town besides. / refer OF
course TO Gen. w. w. Grout, than whom the
district has no superior in point of real
ability, business integrity and moral worth
and am somewhat surprised that his name
did not occur to Mr.. Earle. If the Gener
a, will permit his name TO be used in the
canvass now opening, feel warranted in
saying that he will receive the hearty anC
undivided support of this county. Worth
ington c. Smith is now serving his SECOND
term, and there is determination on the
part OF very large majority of the party

He is our first choice, as he is the frs
choice of Orleans county, for the pc

as many friends as any one of tn

Annexation of Canada.

While Earl Russell, In the British |
House of Lords, was advocating meas
ures to strengthen the union Of the |
Canadas with England, Judge Poland,
in our national House Of Representa-
tives, was offering the following re8o-
luton:
"Whereas the relation of the geo,
graphical position of the United States
and the British Provinces in Amerl-
ca their intimate commercial and
business relations with each other;

degree desirable for the prosperity,
peace and safety Of both countries
that they should be united under a
common government; therefore, be it

United States be requested to open
negotiations with the government Of
Great Britain, and with the local gov

view to the admission Of said provin-
ces into our Union, with such number
Of States, and upon such terms and
conditions as shall be mutually salts
factory to all the said governments
and the people thereof
Earl Russell thinks that the coloni-
al dependence Of Canada on the Brit
ish crown should be made perpetual !;
Judge Poland thinks it is already
time for that connection to cease and
for Canada to transfer itself to the
American Union. The question is,
whether there are more Canadians
who agree with the American than
with the British statesman. The late
ly started Union League" of Mourc-
al IS certainly not in doubt upon the
point. 1t calculates, it is said, upon
having fifty thousand active members

will be devoted to the cause Of annex.

nature appear elsewhere in the Do
minion, showing that public opinion
there has been undergoing a material
change of late.
Whatever it may amount to in the
end, it is obvious that the method in
augurated by Judge Poland is straight.

the annexation of Canada is regarded
as desirable on either Side Of the line
