By the Act offlie late Legislature in apportioning
tie State into Senatorial and ileprr- ?ntative Dis
tricts. -the ( ounties o: Bedford and So.net -et ..re en
titled to two member-, are! the eoiinti-s of 1 lui:tin**-
don, Bedford, and Some; -et, to one Senator. Fran
cis Jordan, Ksq., was chairman of 11.<• committee o.
conference on the part of the Senate, and Henry It.
ho-ter, list)., on the part of the House. These two
gentlemen are justly regarded as the father and mo
ther oi the Bill. The design and great object of the
t> d, so tar as it relates to oar own county, was to
fhsilancltise the Democratic party. We fee! fully
persuaded that no ,-uch result can possibly be accom
plished. We have no hesitancy in saying that the
m: i i who made our district- cannot be elected in ei
ther ot them. If he D nor w iling to take our word
lor it. ail' 1 will agree to run in either district. we will
Convince hen o the second Tuesday of October
next.
Some of Mr. Jordan's friends are trving to excuse
hon because they say '-.Mr. Jordan would have n
greed to divide Bedford and t-omer--t, if Mr. Fos'er

the court as adj mrn- d "until to-morrow ," Mr.

were co-ordinate : and that in all the cases to

sit on that bench no ! >nger, and that the court

district attorney followed in a violent harangue,
in which he accused Mr. Burr of trying to set
aside th" Mormon laws, ami said that the Mor
mons had submitted to Gentile interference
long enough, that tlmy were now going to have
their own wav, and had good authority f r
what they did, as well as safe barkers. The
room was filled at the time with armed ruffians,

them peremptorily to stop: and immediately
the whole audience sprang to thi-ir f *t, and the

off their c at- and brandished their knives and
