Triumphant The account which come to
ui from the seat nt destruction in Illinois show
a deplorable condition of thing, an ultrr Jit-re-pird
for law, and a spirit of persecution dis
fjrsceliil to the ape. The Anti-Mormon, with
a reletitloseness becoming fiends are bent upon
cirryinjj out their proposed design of burning
the Mormons out ofthe ciHinty, and as a mtural
consequence, lives have been sacrificed in the
attempt. In this war of extermination they
include not only the Mormons, but all who are
suspected of favoring the Mormon cause, or of
harboring Mormons about them. Numbers of
people, especially woman and children, are
leaving the country as fast as they can pet
away, their b!?affe and household good strew
ed along the bank of the rivet. Thus far the
Mornona have fled M every instance, making
little or r.o resistance ; hut they cannot flee
much further, and they must either stand and
fight, shortly, or leave the county. One or two
conflict have already occurred, and lives betn
sacrificed. A correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican writes as follows :
Warsaw, Saturday mnrnitur. Sept. 17.
The reports vary very much as to the num
ber of houses burned. At (Juincy the number
wns stated at from 50 to GO, but I think this a
Inrpe estimate.
At (inincy it was reported thst among the
buildings burned was a mill, and that in conflict
between the parties one or two Mormons were
killed, and three or four wounded.
Mr. Head, the clerk of Hancock county, has
fled from Carthn je, the county seat, with the
records and papers, tei Quincy. 1 was told Unit
the clerk of Brown eminly had also pone to
Quincy, bnt -of this 1 am not certain. A ires,
senger was despatched to Gov. Ford, at Spring
field, on Sunday last.
Warsaw is under considerable cxritcmerrl,-
and at present is vigilantly guarded tiy armed
men.
It is said that on Sunday or Monday three
men entered Carthage and enquired for Mr.
llackenstos, who is a Mormon, ond very obnox
ious to the Anti-Mormons. Yesterday Mr.
Franklin A Woirel, a merchant of Carthago,
4nd a Lieutenant in tLeOn-tHt'fl Grays, was nut,
with about 12 or 14 otber persons, when hey
came up with Rickenstns and a number of Mor
mons, nt a place called Prentice's JShatity. The
Mormons beckoned to Wnrrcl and his party to
keep away, but they din regarded it. On then-jap-proach,two
puna were fired. A bull from one
entered W.'s brenHt, killing him almost iosla oi
ly. The curpoe is now m this town. As yon
may suppose, this has added liiel to the fin men,
and this ninrnini: I find a majority of the citizen
here preparing to go out, and nothing is talked
of but a general battle, and the driving of the
Mormons fiom the county.
It is reported here, and, credited, that the
same process of burning out the Mormons has
been commenced in the upper part of this coun-.
ty. It is said that they have com meneed burn
ing tho Mormon bowses rn the 1 llarpe settle
ment anddimp Creek settlement.
Thia week, 1 believe, must bring matters to
an isftie. It is very doubtful whether the Gov
ernor or civil authorities can act in time to pre
vent the worst results.
A proclamation from Sheriff BackenslPS re
lates the circumstances of Worrell's death. lie
was in the act of lerelinir his gun at the Sher fl
when one of tho Sheriff's men shot him. This
Worrell was in command of the guard at Car
thage on the day of the merd-er rf Joe and Ily
rim Smith. We -clip tho subjoined from the
proclamation.
Ami I hereby call opnn, and likewise enm
mnnd every able-bodied man throogfKiut the
county to arm themselves in tfta ber.t possible
manner, awl to resist any and all further violence
on the part of the mob; and to permit no further
destruction of property and to arrest all those
pnjfaged in this -wicked proceeding, and des-tnir-l
inn of property, and threatening of lives.
And I further command that the posse comita
tus repair to tho nearert points invaded by the
rioters, and to defend at the point of tho bay.
ont, ami it all hazards, the lives and proerty
of the peaceable citizen, and again reinstate
the supremacy of tho laws.

P. S. Sept. Kith, A. D- 1845. half past 2
o'clock, P. M. It is but proper tostat-e.that the
Mormon community have acted with more than
oidiuary forbearance remaining perfectly qui.
et and offering no resistance when their dwel-
lings, other buildings, slacks of grain, &c, were
aet on fire in their presence ; snd they have
foreborne until forebear a nee is no longer a vir
tue. The nntorimu Cul. Ix'vi Williams, who is at
the head of the mob, has ordered out the mili
tia of his brigade, comprising Hancock, Ne
Donoughand Schuyler counties but it is hoped
that no good citizen will turn out and aid him or
others in the overthrow of tho laws of our coun
try ; and it is certain that no good chiton, will
rrosa the Mississippi river with thj des'gn to
id the rioters. J- B. B., Kher.ff
Later from the St.Iinni Republican.
Fighting ! Another l uter Killed We
learn from a gentlemen who came a passenger
on the Burets that the statu of affairs between
the Mormons and the Ami Mormons, in Han
cock and Adams counties, is truly appalling.
I iav before yesterday, as a party of about thirty
of the latter were preparing to bum a settle
ment of the former on Bear Creek, in Hancock
county, they were attacked and driven oil by a
party of Mm minis, numbering, it is taid, two
hundred strung, who tired on and killed one of
the rioters, by lh)oine ot'McCord, auj severe-
ly wounded another, a Mr. Liedsey, of War.
6aw. Our informant says that the cty among
the "old citizens'' is "Death or expulsion to
the Mormons," and that nothing but the entire
destruction of Nauvon or the immediate inter
position of the Executive, with a strong milita
ry force, can put an end the proceedings of the
rioters.
The Republican has favored us with a sight J
ofa letter from the editor of that paper, he buy

the Sheriff's posse and the Anties, and fro n I
whose description of it we clip tho following : i

some inking tho nearert route home, or to thick

He further states, "B ickovtsti-s went on Tues

the latter to the former place, j
"The Ticrtvc. Fillers, te principal men of

and which I trust, may put a final end to this

Cr?" We publish, in another rolumn, ttie pro.
eepdin of the meetinjj at Northumberland, in
favor of Mr. foster, which we omit ted last w.-ck
for want of room. We do not, of course, approve
lowed peaceably to dispose of their property, and j ofthe prorcedines of the merlins, nor do wecon
prepare tor the removal. They have appointed
a enmmitceof five, to correrpond with a com-
$55J per ton, averaging only 50 i-enta higher than
when the article was free of duty. We know
from actual observation, that aix years since,
more than nine tentha of all the print or calicoes
sold in Philadelphia were of British manufac
ture. Now tho rase is reversed, more than nine
tenths of the prints sold are of domestic manu
facture. Resides, domeltie prints can be bought
at 13 to 16 cents equally as good as the British
article, which then sold from 20 to 23 cts. So
far from the poor man's paying a tar on coarse
muslins, &c.,it is a well known fart that we are
now selling muslini and calicoes in the British
maiket. In the China market the British are
not able to compete with ua.
Mr. Snyder also predicts that gold and silver
will go out ol the country. Surety not if we man
ufacture our own goods. Gold and silver was
never more plenty than since the Tariff of IS 12,
nor the currency more uniform. The fact is,
the Tariff system is the only true and permanent
system for the regulation of th currency, and is

We have just read, in 'the Harriaburg Argus,'
the aecond statement of the Dauphin co. confe
rees, and are astonished that gentlemen should ao
permit their feelings to cloud their memory, and
impair their recollection of what did take place
at the meetings ofthe conferees.
They assert "that A. Jurdun, Eq. was never

sant to us to contradict a statement so formally
made," we re-atrrt, in the most positive and un
equivocal terms, that at our first nieetint; at

could be elected without any doubt. They do
not deny that we proposed E. Y. Bright, Ej.

At a large meeting h"ld at the town of Shomo.
inii-ee of an eonuS number on t'.c part of the old
settlers. .Tliis proposition is well received by
many of the citizens of Warsaw, and if they do
not reject it l-cause ofthe language in whirl,
it is addressed to them, ('hey thinking it d s
respect fill.) it wiil mo.-t likely leadM a setll--ment,
and to the removal ofthe Monti' ns from
among them. It is very desirable that tliif
should be the result."
Compcllllnit for the I'raile of tlin YVI.
The subscriptions to the stock of the I'.i i:
road, have reached SI .800.000. $1,200,000 are
yet require hut the probabilities are now in favor
of its completion. The Bultin.nre and Ohio Rail
Road Company, will most probably soon have a
continuous line to Pittsburg, and then the busi
ness of Philadelphia will suffer materially.
We perceive that the Philudelphians are be
ginning toagitatc thesubj"ct of a Rail Road com
munication with the western part of this State,
and with Lake Erie. Three routes, the r.orth
ern, middle and southero, offer themselves for
consideration, in rase ibis )iun should succeed.
The southern route is already completed as fir
as Chambershtirg, but the crossing of the Alle
ghany Mountains is a strong reason why this
route should not be selected. There is already a
Canal and Rail Road communication fiom Phi
ladelphia to Pittsburg, but this is not open du
ring the winter. The northern route would
pass through Pottsvilte and Sunbury, to Wil
liamsport, thenee up the West Branch ofthe Sus
quehanna, and the Sinneniahoning Creek to Ben
nett's Branch. At the head of Bennett's Branrh
is gap in the Alleghauiea throntrh which a Rail
Road could readily be laid. From this point two
branch roads, one to Eiie and another to l'itl
burg. ni;ht be n.adr, wtiH-h would -command a
very heavy Western Trade
The northern route appears to us much the
best of any which could be selii-led. as it passes
through the rich iron districts of Pennsylvania,
and would serve to give a new impulse to the bu
siness in the northern part ofthe S'ate. The
whole lioe has lieen surveyed, at? it was purpo
sed at one time to have the Pennsylvania Canal
pass over this route. The middle portion oftbe
State, has already a communication with th
west, and the advantage which would ensue
from substituting a Rail Road for the Canal,
would not be to great as those which would re
sult from the new route.
The road from Philadelphia to Tottsville is
completed, and that from rottsville to Sunbury,
soon will be. From Williamsport to Flniira, a
road is paitially made, which when finished
would intersect the N. Y , and Frie Road, and
would connect Philadelphia with the w hole wes
tern part of New Yoi k. The amount of business
which would go to Philadelphia should lliis Wrs-t-ern
Rail Road communication be uinde, would
cur in inr r.jniiiuii, inai h iuie niiriiy 01 iiic
people in this county, ore opposed to Major Dew
art. That there is considerable opposition to Ma
jor Dewai t, in Northumberland ami Point, we
know, and there may also be. tome slight oppo
sition in a few other distiicts in the Forks. But
in the other districts of the county, he will re
ceive an almost unanimous vole.
It is to be regretted that a third man was not
nominated. The fault, however, is not Major
l.Vwart's, nor his conferees, who made frequent
overtures to compromise matters by taking up
auotheT man. cither in this, or Dauphin county.
These were all invariably rejected by Major
Foster and bis friends. There was no alterna
tive left for Mr. Pewart. but to offer himself us
a candidate, and if the demonary of Northum
berland and Dauphin ate true to themse'vrs and
to their cause, they will give him their undivi
ded support. Major Foster will find that he will
make hut a poor show in this county, at the co
ming election.

in a spirit of conciliation, and with a disposition kin, on Monday evening the 20th ult., for the

C"7" John Sv:n vn tiic Tariff of IS 12.
Coder this head, the Union Times of last week
contains an aiticle of four or five columns, from
the Hon. John Snyd.-r. giving his views on the
Tariffof IM2. As pn;ns have been taken to cir
culate this 'document" through our county, we
deem it our duty as a fiiend ofthe Tariff of 18 12.
to gi e our view s in relation to it. We are dis
posed to b -lieve t'-at Mr. Snyder is perfectly
sincere in his notions about the tariff. But there
never was a mau more wofully mistaken i.i hit
facts and inferences, than Mr. Snyder. We have
neitle-r tini" nor rmn ( not ice the article as ful
ly as we would like, uud w ill, therefore, advert
to a few of its statenen1s. lie proceeds to say :
"The Tariff of 1 12, has been more than three
years in opeiation. Is there a man, woman or
child in I'eiuis j Ivania, llt can poir.t to one sin
gle prediction it lias verified ? No : not one."
We cao hardly believe Mr. Snyder serious in
asking such a question. The whole countr
would almost unanimously respond, yes. There
is scarcely a pi edict ion that has not been veri
fied. Mr. Stiyder then proceeds to quote the re.
poit ofthe Secretary of the Treasury, showing
that in 1S11, the impoitsof foreign merchandize
amomiti d to upwards of 108 millions, w hich Mr.
Snyder declares exceeds that of any preceding
year since the existence ofour govrrr-meiit, upon
which he builds an arcnuient, showing that high
protection has flooded our country wilh foreign
goods. This is something like the boy who
builds a cob house for the purpose ofdemolistiing
it at his pleasure, the substratum or foundation
of which, is just about as substantial. Now
mark how a few plain facts will demolish this
"baseless fabric ol a vision." So far fiom the
iniortatHiis of IS It exceeding those of any year
previous, we w ill show that th-'y were leis, not
withstanding the i.alural increase of the com
meire of the cieuitry. In l'it, the iniMirt ex
ceeded 123 millions ; in IM", I'.'U millions ; in
any thing since the e'ection ofCen. Cameron, ex
cepting for Canal Commissioner, for which office, i
the delegates Mere instructed in his favor by 1
a unanimous vote. The editor of the Argus is
yet young, and therefore in some decree rco- ,
sable, in using terms which he evidently does
pot properly understand. But even he might i
remember sluii the "ancient usages" be speaks j
ofweie fir it established. We believe Dr. Stur- ,
geon was the first V. S. Senator elected under
this "ancient usage," which took place in the "re-
moteage"of 181i. A few years previous to that ',
lemote period, when Mr. Buchanan was elected j
in opposition to the caucus nominee.
In regard to ihe election of Mr. Burns, these j
sticklers of "ancient usages," l ave but little to
tmast of, as they were almost unanimous in !
their opposition to ! nomination.

says the Democratic Union, about three hundred
bauds employed, have already comphtd Ihe stone
work on the heavy aqueduct over (Jetty's Creek,

lushed iu about two weeks. The work is done
in a very superior manner, and with the excep

all be finished in about two months. The outlet
lock will be completed iu time for the Spring
trade, when a new impetus will be given to the
coal trade in Dauphin county. Both the Canal
Company and the Contractors are entitled to
great commendations for the manner in which
thia enterprise has been prosecuted.

The follow in;.', in relation to the domestic ha
bits of (Jiu-eci Victoria, is not without interest :
" 'Mrs. Caudle' is now the established and con
stant altei piece nt three of the Loudon Theatres;
note-paper is rmW IlishnJ with pictares from 'he
story ; prints of Mr. ami Mrs. Caudle slare from
every shop w indow, and the miseries of henpeck
ed I uslxinds are undoubtedly the leading idea of
the time. It Victoria esc a pi s being called Queen
Caudle in history, it will be by the alacrity with
which oblivion disposes of gossip for tli-'re are

Pi iuce Caudle. As beggars sing ballads iu the

duties averaged 3S per cent., the importations Lectures' took his idea fiom the Palace, and
for the four yeatsonly amounted lo'i'JO millions.
From IS 'Mj to IS 10, when the duties under the
compromise act only aveiage.l 11Jercent , the
imports amounted to the enormous sum ol 400
millions. These facts, which are substantiated
by the records, speak stroneer than mere words,
and prove most conclusively, if "common sense"
required such proof, that large importations are
not caused by high duties.
Mr. Snyder says ; "I'ruteetmn Oild tothtpriee

shown that this is not so in regard to importations.
Nor is it substantially true, that it adds to the price
ofthe article protected. In 1636, when the duty
of $10 per ton was taken off of rail road iron, the
average price in this country, until 1SI3, when a
duty of t2w was again put on, was about $05 per
ton. In 1843 and 1811, the average price was but
therefore this most popular hint of literature of
the time, is a very lair exponent ofher Majesty's
reign. The hereditaiy madness in the family
mtikcs it dangerous to oppose her wisbct, and a
remonstrance or objection is seldom ventured up
on. An express train was sent from Brighton to
London last winter, to bring down the loyal

salt air of Brighton, was scarce within the me
