The following is the proclamation referred to
'by Brighaui Young":
PROCLAMATION BV THE <H'ERNCR.
Citizens of btak: We are invaded by a'bos
'tiie force, who are evidently assailing us to ac
'complisb our overthrow aud desiuction. For
the last twenty-five years we have trusted of
ficials of the t-i overtNuent, from consiatles and
justices, to Judges,' Governors and Presidents,
only tt be sc'Kutd, held in derision-, insulted
and betrayed. Our houses have been plun
dered and then turned, our fields laid waste,
our principal mee butchered tvbiie under the
pledged faith of the Government for their safe
ty, and our families driven from their homes to
find that shelter in tiie barren Wilderness aud
that protection among hostile savages which
wore denied them in "the boasted abodes of
Christianity and civilization.
The Constitution of our common country
guarantees unto us all that we do uow or have
ever claimed. If the Constitutional tights
which pertain unto us as American citizens were
extended to 1 tab according to the spirit and
meaning thereof, aud fairly and impartially
administered, it is all that we could ask—all
that we have ever asked.
Our opponents have availed themselves of
prejudice existing against us, because of our
religious faith, to send cut a formioable host
to accomplish our destruction. We have had
no privilege nor opportunity of defending our
selves from the false, foul and unjust aspersions
against us before tlier.atioD. The Government
has not condescended to cause an investigating
committee of other persons to be sent to inquire
into and ascertain the truth, as is customary in
gueh cases. We know those aspersions to be
false; but that avails us nothing. We arc con
demned unheard, and I'oreed to an issue with
an armed mercenary mob, wLicli has been sent
against us at the instigation of anonymous let
ter writers, ashamed to father the base, siaudcr
ous falsehoods which they have civen lo the
public—of corrupt officials, who have br aught
false accusations against us to screen them
selves in their own infamy, und of hireling
priests and howling editors, who prositute the
truth for filthy lucre's sake.
Jhe issue which lias thus been forced upoo
us compels us to resort to the great first law of
self preservation, and stand in our own defence
a right guaranteed unto us by the gcDius of
the institutions of our country, and upon which
the government is based. Our duty to our
selves, to our families, requires us not to tame
ly submit to be driven aud slain without an at
temjit to preserve ourselves. Our duty to our
country, our holy religion, our God, to frecuoui
aud liberty,requires that wo shouid uot quietly
stand still and see tljose letters forging around
us which are calculated to enslave aud bring
us in subjection to an unlawful military despo
tism, such as can only emanate, in a country
of constitutional law, from usurpation, tyranny
and oppression.
liierefore I, Biigham \oung, Governor and
•Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Terri
tory of Utah, iu the name of the people of the
United States, in the Territory of Utah, for
bid,
First—all armed forces of every description
from coming into this Territory, under any ore
taace whatever. ' '
Second—lhat a'; the forces in said Territory
hold themselves in readiuess to march at a mo
ment s notico to repel any and all such inva
sions.
Third—Martial law is hercbv declared to
exist iu this Territory from and after the pub
lication of this proclamation,and no person ohall
bo allowed to pass or repass into or through or
from this Territory without a permit from the
proper otiicer.

BRIGHAM YOUNG, ESQ., Governor of Utah Ter

SIR .—I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of Sept. 29, si,
with two copies of a proclamation and oue ot
the laws of Utah, and have given it an atten
tive consideration. lam at present the senior
and commanding officer of the troops of the U
nited States at this point, and I will submit
your letter to the General eomoiaudiug as soon
as he arrives here.
In the meantime, I have only to say that
these troops are here by the order of ffee-PreS
ident of the United States, and their further
movements and operations will depend entirely
upon orders issued by eompeteut military au
thority.
Very respectfully,
E. B. ALEXANDER.
Among the documents is alette: from Col.
Johnson, dated from the camp ou the 1 hree
Wings of the Sweet Water, addressed to Ad
jutant General McDowell, New iork, in which
he confirms the bututng of the contractor's
trains by the Mormons. 11 u says the Governor s
escort is four days march behind him, witti two
companies of dragoons. He knows of uo reason
why Col. Alexander should attempt to reach
Salt Lake by Boar RivCr, excepting from the
fear that the Moruious have burned the grass
on the shorter route. He adds : "lllcoull
communicate with Col. Alexander I would di
rect him to tako up a good position tor the
Winter at Ham's Fork. The road is beset be
tween this and Ham's Fork with companies of
Moruious, so it is doubtful if I shall be able to
communicate with Col. A."

CRISIS.
Eds. Infelligincer. —Those are curious times
we are having just now. Froui every part of
the country comes the cry of tuss, fury aud fiz
zle —a great deal of fuss, considerable fury,
and a tremendous fizzle. New things turn up,
and old things turu down, and that mighty
fa;t, too. Various are the causes assigned for
the excitement that now prevails; some folks
say its a ' prnic ,' others call it a 'trsfs,' a
'pressure in the money market,' a 'tightness,*
Ac.-, hut all unite in calling it 'n grand crash'
that lias been produced. Well, as for my
part, I can see nothing very grand about it,
except it be in dodging under a set of shavers
und gougers, couimouly railed 'hankers/ to
gether with a lot of robbers who have been ma
king desperate efforts towards a speculation in
sugar und produce generally. The numerous
gyrations 'these gentlemen are now performing,
remiuds me of the time when I, Hammer and
Tongs, was a boy, and used to wonder to hear
the *big brur.ies,' sing their doleful songs and
then, when tired of their mush, to throw
stone at the iog on which a row of them were
seated, to see how quick they could jump and
say 'ker chug' as they went under. Now it is
evident that some oue has thrown a stone a
mong these croakers, and it has produced a
most wonderful commotion, not only among
the stockjobbers aud produce speculators, but
extending far and wide, it has seize J upon even
the'substantial,'chartered banks that have
heretofore b?eu declaring 'big dividends/ the
result of 'juJieious management 5 such as refu
sing diseouut to merchants and manufacturers,
but branching out in western land speculations*
railroad bonds, and favoring speculations in
life's necessities— robbers Df the poor. These,
too, have taken to the water, and as the big
gest of the hatch—the New Yorkers— have
sung out -ker chug.' J don't think it will be
many days before the last one will show its
heels. A few of them may hide in the grass
and come forth when danger is over, but the
majority will most iikely find the bottom, never
to rise again.
About the most pleasing part of this 'grand
fizzle' is the fact of the noise being knocked
out of that windy railroad corporation in the
'great and magnificent west—the "longest rail
road iu America'—'the richest corporation in
the world— the Illinois Central. A company
in which the whole Slate of Illinois has all the
way two directors, who play the Jerry-;uy-did
dler to the Piesident, and four other Directors,
who belong to a gamblers' lane iu New York ;
these in (urti dance to the music of six others
living in EL'ROPE. Thus, we see, that 'the
richest corporation in the world,' has six direc
jors in Europe, and seven in America. Well
it's consoling to know that we on this side of
tho Atlantic, have a majority of at least one,
and that Uncle Sam Qidn't give all that whole
'kingdom of land' to the bankers :>f London,
Amsterdam and Paris, and that, notwithstand
ing the grand fizzle out, they can't take it a*
cross the water. Aiu't our Uncle Sam a glori
ous old chap, a magnanimous Uncle Sam to
give John Bull and the Dutch lanrt enough to
build a new kingdom, if they only had it on
'the otbeT side 1 '
'But what's become of the monryV cries the
merchants, linkers nnd business men general
ly. who live iu '§25,000 houses,' and speud the
•season' regularly at some 'watering place.'—
•What's become o.'the money?' cries the rail
road swiudlcr, who .bribed a member of Con
gress to vote a nillio a or so of tho public do
main, and thus make in "llionairc* of the corrupt
cormorants who swarm in the West. Why gen
tlemen, Hammer and Tongs knows where the
money is; its all done and w< ot to Europe, to
pay tor fine flummery and t scw gaws for your
tasliiouable wives and daughters: such as shawls
dresses, laces, ribbons, flowers an,J 'kids,' with
a heap of broadcloth, and fifteen twenty
dollar vest patterns for the young 'sw ells' and
for irou (which ought every pound .'o have
beeu made at home.) mostly to lay the track
on some of these great railroads that arc now
'fan,ted.'
'lint whore's all the gold that comes from"
California? replies a certain class of politicians,
who make out exports, foot up more tlmn tiic
imports oy indicting the specie with: the pro
duce that leaves the country. Ah! gentlemen
you know very well bow that one-fourth of the
nmount goes direct to China, and that the oth
er three-fourths won't pay the interest on the
Jiot hundred millions of dollars that we oux to
England alone. Aud you know further, that
had the tariff of '42 existed to the present
'hue, we would have $516,000,000 of specie
in tbc country, instead of $315,000,000, as at
present, arid that ocr country would now be
filled with irou nrtils and manufactories of ev
ery kind, from which the sound of industry
aud prosperity would riug out morn till night,
BEBFOEB IMOBIREE.
instead of the cry of misery and desolation ffcat
now pervades the manufacturing district?.
Kvery man f common 'sumption' will say,
irivf us protection for oar manufacturers, or else
no more tag money, and let the people sefe'liow
little we have that is real —then my life fdr it,
when the facts are dislo.-ed, we shall have a
tariff with a vengeance. We don't want any
'promises to pay' under twenty dollars, unless
we can have a United States Rank, by Which
the twenty millions that always lies slumbering
in the treasury, may be kept in circulation, aud
thus regulate the currency of the country at
home and abroad.
The Virginia 'det.ler in Western lands and
town (!) property,' who has helped to send
about §5,000,000 out of the Old Dominion,
within the lust three years', says he can't te'l
for the life of hint where all the money's gone
to. Wcndcr if the 'squatters' along the b.iuks
of some of the 'clear rutiuiug streams' out in
'lllinoy,' aud other parts of the 'great West,'
have any of it? Guess not. They must have
spent it all last winter, iu buying corn at §? a
bushel, aud flour at 10 cents a pound.
Those 'clear running streams' out West, tint
flow at the rate of about four miles per wsc',
will hardly present so many attractions as they
did a short time since. Their beautiful bright
trrren surface will be likely to rest undisturbed
fur at least another year, save its the deathly
"stillness of the water is disturbed by the wig 'le
'waggios, tad poles aud water snakes. Delight

I have no doubt, but that some of these 6D.Hl

gentleman who ouoe went tb 'iowa' to spy out

'GREAT DEMOCRATIC SWINDLE.
We make 'he following extracts front the
cotrespotidciicc- of the Chicago Tribune, show
ing how the people's affairs era taken care of
by "the powers That le." The correspondent,
writing from St. Anthony, Minnesota, under
date of October 28th, sends; the details of the
sale of the Fort Ripley Reservation, which
turns out to bo the most fl .grant and high
handed robbery in the catalogue of tbc pirati
cal transactions of tuts government. The in
fumy of the Front SneL'.ng fraud is fresh in
the minds of the people, by which they were
defrauded out of over a million of dollars for
the needs of pro slavery politicians—and close
in its wake comes the sr.le of this 57,000 acres
of the people's dourarn for a trifle over §2.000,
or Four Vents an Acre I This is Democracy
in power! llew long are these violent and
flagrant outrages to bo practiced upon us?—
Well tatty it be a.-kc'i, "where are wc going
and whither are we tending?*' when the ad
ministration gives a willing uod of assent to the
iniquities of few proslavcrv politicians.
The Fort Sneliing swindle was certainly a bold
and outrageous one, but this one takes the
premium. The American people will soon be
accustomed to expect any extravagance or
swindling from the Administration to which
they have confided their government! The
history of this country has no parallel to the
frauds that are being perpetrated in that ter
ritory by the appointees ol the present National
Administration, and tolerated—not tolerated,
but encouraged, and even farther— concocted
by that Administration. Read the following;
meditate upon it; treasure it up; ;how it to
Democrats; read and forgot it for your party's
sake, but read;
"A few days since the Fort Bnel!ing Reser
vation was transferred from the people to the
politicians. Ninety thousand dollars woith of
it went iuto tile treasury of the United rbates;
at 'least, We guess so. The other million of
more helped to elect demagogues to office.—
To-day the Fort Ripley Reserve* consisting of
fifty-seven thousand acres of land, goes to the
9amc Democratic bourne at FOUR CENTS
AN ACRE!—fifty-seven thousand acres of as
good land as Minnesota holds, worth at the
lowest estimate of cultivators of the soil, five
dollars an acre, and for which the Government
could hove received one dollar and twenty-five
per acre on the day of Sale. In short, fifty
thousand acres of land have been donated to
knaves for $2,280, instead of being sola to
farmers and actual occupants for $1)1,260 —or
instead of being made to bring into the treas
ury its full worth, $285,000 ! Do you tbiuk
that wonders will never cease?
The circumstances of this foul transaction
are these: The Fort Ripley Reservation is sit
uated in Todd county, on the Upper Missis
sippi. It wits occupied, legally or not, by fiftv
or sixty Democrats. They resided on the land
and intended to secure their claims lihe tegu
lar pre-eu:ptionists, or perhaps much iu the
way Indian Reservation sales are managed.—
These persons formed a claim association which
met the day before'the sale to adopt mea
sures for scent ing their titles. The govern 1
' incut agents, or a few confederate scoundrels
who were emplojed for that purpose, sent in a
proposition to the claimants that if they (claim
ants) would not bid on the lands, they (Mr.
! ltuchannii's agon's) would cut off the whole
j tract an<l guarantee the occupants their titles
1 ;tr one dollar per acre. Some of it, fur the
1 jun of the thing, was run up to twenty-live
: cents! and a still greater poilioh at c-.nt
I per cere. The average was four cents. These
fjcts can and will be verified by eye witnesses
jf the whole transaction. When the sale was
over the scales dropped front the eyes of the
settlers. They saw that these faithful servants
of the people bad lied their homes away from
them for no.'luug and were proposing now to
steal one dollar, or more accurately, ninety-six
cents for every acre of ibo jarchaae. Ilut they
ailege iu excuse for their blunder that if ihey
had not accepted those terms, the sharks would
have run the land out of rcanh—so there they
were, udl like iissrs between baudles of hay,
but tiled sheep with wolves on one side and
butchers on the other.
These agents were the same that sold Fort
Snelling Reserve aud tho Lake Pepin v ToJian
Half- breed Tract. They said that this sale
would verity tho statements of the Democratic
journals throughout, the country, in extenuation
of the Fort Suelling sale, that settlers would
combine together aud prevent bidding on lands,
in e insequence of which the Fort Suelling
lam Is brought more at private sale than they
would at public sale.
Jh, the weakness of out government, to be
th waited in their plans by a lew poor settlers :
How was the Reserve at C'hieago sold? Ry
sealed bids, as every other valuable govern
ment reserve ought to be. llut there was no
combination at Fort Ripley, except four or five
government agent*, combining against the
claimants, who stood there like 'a bainp on a
log until these government 'robbers got the
perfect dead wood ou thnh. Tho political
frauds practised in Minnesota during the late
election, by the D •tiueratie party, are enough
to make a man inquire, who are oar rulers?—
Is this a monorchia! or a republican govern
ment! Are we to be compelled to kreel at
the altar of the church of Rome, and pay pen
ance l or are we to stand up like American
citizens (whether native or adopted,! and do
tend our freedom? Are we always to be obli
god to pay money into the United Stales trea
sury to be used by the party in power for elec
tioneering purposes? If it is not done,/ bow
does it happen that almost all the money that
1 has been used iu our late election by that pat
ty lias come through tlife hands of their ojfi
i rials direct

The CmstHutioml Convention —. Harm of the Free
Stall Men—.hi Extra Session of the Legislature—
Tltc Militia to be' Organized.
QMi NDAtto, Kansas, Nov. 9, 1857.—The
Constitutional Convention having framed a pro
slavery constitution and closed its libors, the
free Stat • men, whb h >ve heretofore looked up
on the whole tiling as a farce seem suddenly
to have awakened to a sense of their danger.
A meeting was tie hi iti Lawrence on Saturday
night to determine what cburse the free Stat •
men shoull take. Two propositions were be
fore the meeting : one to call on Gov. Walker
to convene the Legislature at once, and one 'o
provide for an immediate drgjnrzitiun of the
militia of the Territory.
As there senilis but little hope of excluding
slavery except by force, the latter proposition
was .strongly urged.
Kven if Gov. Walker consents to call the
Legislature together, they have no power over
the Consti'utrOtr, or over the provisions of the
convention that framed i'. They cannot alter
or repeal the provision which denies its sub
mission to the people. 1 is said Gov. Walker
lias oxprossed his unwillingness to call together
the Legislature if requested to do so, and it i
suspected that this willingness proceeds in no
stall I degree from his knowledge that this body
can Mo nothing in the premises when convened.
This thing is done, and there is no help in Ter
ritorial Legislatures now.
The Legislature, if convened, will provide
for a popular vote on the Constitution, depen
ding entirely upon its moral efToct. Though
it can have no legal force, yet some free Btatc
men here Seem to think that if a tremendous
popular vote is polled against the Constitution,
and it is fully and legally shown that niuc
tenths of the inhabitants of the Territory are
opposed to it, that may deter same Northsro
Democrats in ObOgresS from voting for it.
As the large emigration of last Bpring was,
thrown out at Hie last election by the six
months' residence DVASO, the free State major
ity is much larger titan that would show, and
ti is confidently believed that if the Legisla
ture will permit all who have rasided thirty
days in the Territory to vote, the majority &-
gainst the Constitutieu will be fully teu to one.
The conviction among the free State men
here is, that, as every part of the programme,
in the action to make Kansas a slave Btate has
been so faithfully performed over ail opposition,
there can be no doubt the last act wili be car
ried through, and that a Democratic Congiess
will admit Kansrs with this slave Constitution,
even if niuery-niue hundredths of the people of
the Territory were known to be opposed to it.
No indefinite action was taken, but. a com
mittee was appointed, and it ii expected that
another meeting will be called in a few days.
THE RESULT OF THE CUSVEMTIOS.
/Yc*n the Chicago l'imet, (Senator DouglaT org in.)
We think it amounts to very httlo wit it has been
the action of the Convention. One thing is cer
tain, the Constitution has not been submitted to
the 'People, and that constitution is not worth the
paper it disfigures. It has no vitality now, yet it
has as much as it will ever have. Any State offi
cers elected under it—and they are to be elected
forthwith—will have as much authority as the To
peka State officers. Gov. Walker is Governor of
the Territory, and we trust AS he put down the To
pekaites, so he will put down all others who may
attempt t3 tlSUrp the province of governing Kansas
without authority of 1 iw. Wr suppose, however,
that in a few days we will have a true statement ot
what has been done in Kansas, and then we will
have something to say. It may as well, however,
be stated now, as at any other time, that the peo
ple ot Kans is have been given a pledge that Ihev
slionl 1 be free to regiiiate their own alfairs for
themselves, and that pledge must be made good.

ESCAPE OF WALKER.
A telegraphic despatch from New Orleans

of the United States official?; gullied forth oucc
again from our shores with uti armed band des

When his failure in Lower California had driv
en htm and the feeble remnant of I:ss band of
fugitives to the U.S. boundary, lie encountered
a body of our troops, whose leader arrested the
incendiary, took tint to San Francisco, and
there out laws and law officers allowed him to
go free. Again, when fate hid nearly closed
upon him in Nicaragua, with certain death
staring him in the face unless some superior
power should intervene, the friendly liahd of
the U; S naval commander was stretched forth
to snattfh him front the jaws of ruin. Nomi
nally he became our prisoner, but really ho was
our protege. Our iuterventio t was tiCi in
either case to punish the miscreant, but duly to
protect him. And now ite shows his sen.-Sfe of
the inteniiou by bollly Suing out another ex

Among the many preparations now in use for

with more confidence than l'rof. Wood's liair

States. This prepataltdn possesses the most
iuvigoiutiii. qualities, and iicVerla.L in produ
cing the most happy results when applied ac
cording to directions. We r fer our readers to

IMitilliUTUll,
OR LIVER REMEDY
TS AN ARTICLE THAT EVERV BtjDY
A needs who is nut in a perfect state of health j
fertile Licet is secoud only to the heart m our'
human economy, and when that i.- deranged the
whole vital machinery runs wrong. To Sml a'
inedtchiu peculiarly adapted lo this disease has i
been the study of one ot the proprietors, in a j
large and extended piuetice lor the past twenty 1
years,and the r-sult ot Ids experiment is the
lnvigorator, as a never-failing remedy where !
medicine has any jiower to help. As "a Liver I
Remedy it has lio equal, as ail testily who use I
"•
A lady writing from Brooklyn, says, Would
that I CoUl l express in ihis short letter the val- I
ue your lnvigorator has been to me in raising i
a luige lam uy ol eiiiidreu, tor it lias never fail- t
ed to relieve all affections of the stomach, bow-!
vis or attacks of worms. If mothers Once had i
this remedy placed within their reach, and were
taught how to use it, u tearful and untold a
mouutoll agony might he saved."
One of our prominent hankers says, '-Eire or '
six >ears since 1 ffund lnysclt running down
with a liver difficulty ; resorting to yobr Invig- I
orator, was greatly relieved, and," continuing
for a season, was entirely restored."
A clergyman called at our office the other
day and said he hud given a poor Woman a hot- !
tie, who was suffering very badly lroin Liver'
Complaint, and hetore she had taken the whole
oi it she was at work earning bread lor her lam
ily.
A gentleman, recently froiii the West. says,
while at Chicago, lie was attacked with a slow, j
lingering lev.-r. that baffled the skill ,„f physi- I
ciaus, hut the luvigoritor cured him in a few
days.
One of our city merchants said, while on a
visit to Troy, a lew days since, he was attacked !
with Imwel aud stomach disorders, sons to con-'
flu him to his room, lie sent to the drug store '
for u bottle of lnvigorator, took one|dose, which'
relieved him so that he was able to attend his I
business.
An acquaintance, wliore business compels'
him to write most ot the time, says, he became ■
so weak as to he unable at times to hold his j
pen, at others, sleep would overpower!
mm. but the lnvigorator cured liim-
A gentleman troni Brooklyn called oti us a
week or two siuce, looking hut the shadow ofa'
man, with a skin yellow, pale and deillliliko.— i
lie had boen lor a long time stiffehhg from !
Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend i
to his business. W'e saw him ipguin to-day a
Changed man, and to use his expression, he has !
not seen the bottom of the fitst bottle, and fur- '■
flier adds "it saved my life, l'or I was fast go- i
iug to a consumptive's grave."
Among the hundreds of Liver Remedies now
off-red to the public, there tire none we can so
luhy recommend as Dr. SHilurd's lnvigorator
or Liver Remedy, so generally known now
throughout the Union. This prepiratiou is tru
ly a l.iver Invigorate?, producing tNi most
happy results oil all who use it. Almost itinu
i.iera.ile certificates have been given of the great
virtue ol -big 111adiCl.ie by those ot the highest
standing in so ciety, uiitd it is, without doubt,
the best prepamotion now helore the public.
