was in fovor of abolishing Slavery in
the Di-tiut of (.'olnmbia; of extending

prohibiting the interstate" Slave

I am told, for a seat in Congress, and
without the aid of lVMi:r.ov and his
Abolition friends, he could not suc
ceed.. Hence his letter above refcrcd
too. Now he is seeking votes to re
tain a seat; hence his present, seem
ingly inconsistent position. I think,
however, ho will not be as successful
in (jvUin'j Southern gentlemen, as he
was in misleading (Jkovk Pomf.uoy ami

Missourians, w ho, to save the ferriage,
had crossed on foot. ,
They could be plainly seen from this
side. All those things visible at on
view almost, and all coining nt tin
Mime time, were more than tbeeiti.ens
could bear. A man w ith a tin horn
some five feet long, was placed upon j
horse and rode through the sheets
calling on the citi.ens to assemble at
the Mayor's office, at 1 o'cbu k. In
less than lfi minutes over 1,000 persons
were there, many of them bringing
double barreled shot guns, Sharpe's ri
des, old muskets, and indeed every de
scription of gun imaginable. Hesides
these, every man had a Colt n revolver
on his hip. Just at this juncture the
follow ing "ticket was ficly circula

WITH tiii:
MXOJirrON roNSTITITION.
The excitement produced bv the dis
tribution of this ticket is beyond de
scription. It seemed for sometime as
ll It Wi re impossible to ipuct the peo
ple. At last Mr. Dickson, a merchant,
obtain vl a hearing, and said that as
citizens needed onus worse than any
thing else, he knew where fifty stand
were stored in this city, which had
been taken from the Free State men
over a year ago, and if they would fol
low him he would get them. The
crowd went en mast, and the ware
house U ing locked, they battered down
the door, brought out the muskets and
distributed them among the crowd.
Capt. Dickson who had served in
the Mexican war was then formally
elected commander of the company.
He immediately marched his ne u to
the river, and place l a sjuad of twenty
on the ferry boat, to arrest any of the
Misisourians who attempted to return!
A largo body of men was seen on their
horses on the opposite shore, but when
they looked upon the glittering guns
upon the levee, and the ferry boat
started for them, they wheeled their
horses, put spur, and very suddenly
disappeared in the woods of Missouri.
One of the Missourians said to me this
alternoon, "that it was getting too i u
hot for Pro-Slaverv men in this Terri-
m
tory, and he uidn t think he would
ever trouble them again."

The jifj.fc of Mormondom are noth
ing he priests are everything. Like
the people of some of the European
States, they are not represented by
newspapers or men they are govern
ed. Piles of the Deseret Xeirs reach us,
which contain phonographieal reports
of scimons j 1 reached by the Mormon
Elders and President Young. They
are the more important from the fact
that these Elders rule the people, and
shape the conduct of the Polygamic
nation.
llrigham Young is especially seven
upon Mr. Ihuhanan. He says:
" I will sav, in reference to President
lhichaiian, that for his outrageous
wickedness in this movement he shall
wear the yoke as long as he lives;
he shall be led about by his party with
the yoke on his neck, until they have
neeoiiipli.shd their ends, and he can
b no more for them, and his nam

44 After doing what thev already
have done to this people, after sending
among us the lilth and scum of all cre
ation (as some of the officers were) as
ollicers of the Government, contrary to
the genius of our Institutions, I want
to tell them that, though they con
tinue to send poor, pusillanimous
eurses here to be fjmvcrnmerit officers,
we will not submit to it, troops or no
troops. I shall tell them this in plain
ness and simplicity, and they shall find
that in my simplicity I will try to sus
tain so righteous a position. And I
believe that the point is yielded, both
in Enrol c and Amenca. And I le-
lieve they acknowledge that J'righam
is a man of his word ; and I have come
to the conclusion that we will not
again have officers thrust upon us con
trary to our consent, the Iord helping
.

the dictate of good taste.
