that too, right in the face of a prospective
reduction of one-third of the present enor
mous debt, we can see no very valid objection
to it. It comes upon us stronger, too, when
we look at the fact that we are getting a large
price for an improvement that is every year
costing us immense sums—that never has
and never will nett to the treasury a dollar.
It comes with overwhelming fcrce when we
look straight in the face, the fact that under
all political parties ; under every form of man
agement, its bold, rank and startling corrup
tion, has thrown into the shade all ordinary
peculation and fraud. It is largely to the
pecuniary advantag e of the State to sell it,
if she can do so un der this bill. It is of still
far more importance to the morals of her peo
ple, that this deadly blight be removed.

INTERESTING.—The census of the United

our bread ; twenty-four thousand lawyers to
set us by the ear ; forty thousand doctors to

to keep this - motley mass in order by the po
tent power of public opinion controlled and
manufactured through the press.
Everybody at all acquainted with the com
mercial interests of this country, especially
of the west, knows how difficult it is, at the
present moment, to (using a technical phrase
well understood) "make collections ;" and:the
inquiry is a natural and an important one,
" Why is this ?"
Here is this vast country, after a period of
four years of unexampled prosperity, during
which hundreds of thousands of vigorous and
comfortable emigrants have carried, in indus
try and wealth, to an extent unparalleled and
almost inconceivable—farming operations
have been carried on to an immensely increas
ed extent—harvests have been unusuallylarge
and rich—prices unprecedentedly high—cit
ies have sprung up, as if by ma i sic, and in
many places seek to eclipse in their magnifi
cence and grandeur the glories of the east—
railroads intersect the land, in every direc
tion, affording facilities for intercourse and
commerce which are absolutely stupendous,
—and yet, with all these evidences of growth,
prosperity and wealth, many eastern mer
chants complain, that they find it almost im
possible to get an account paid at maturity.
Again, " Why is this?"
It is not that the west is poor ; for an ex
clusively agricultural country, she has been
enjoying a period of unexampled agricultu
ral prosperity—farmers, as every body knows,
have been making profits, one-fourth of which
would satisfy either merchants or manufactu
rers—the wealth has been realized, and ex
ists somewhere.
The truth is, the farmers have been seized
with the prevalent mania for speculation, and
in their hot haste to get rich, have invested
in purchases of new lands the money with
which they ought to have paid their debts—
furnished their domestic necessities and com
forts; and improved their farms—and as a
consequence, the traders who have furnished
them with goods on credit, and whose claims
are forgotten or disregarded, are unable to
meettheir own indebtedness, and so the whole
machine of commerce is clogged, and out of
order, and every interest, from the consumer
to the producer, is embarrassed and deranged.
Now, what is the obvious and simple rea
son for this unnatural and unreasonable state
of things ? We answer—the abolition of the
small credit system. If more were compelled
to pay in cash for the supply of their neces
sary wants, they would have no temptation
to invest in speculation means requisite for
the maintenance of their families—nor to
gamble in doubtful ventures with the money
of their creditors.
_ If this system were generally introduced
—if it became thoroughly, and everywhere
known, that every body had to buy for cash,
all the articles he required for his family and
himself=-and there were no such things as
" Pass Books" and " Store Accounts," then
would the business of a merchant be safe and
legitimate—he would either have his money
or his goods—and he could regulate, with
comfort and with certainty, his own proceed
ings accordingly—then would commercial
credit be legitimate and safe, and wholesale
dealers would then trust but one debtor, and
not the thousand to whom that debtor now
sub-trusts their goods—this would effectually
preserve the balance between supply and de
mand, and apply the salutary and the certain
check to our trading—it would restore busi
ness to a wholesome tone, and remove the
great cause of commercial failures. Nor
would traders be the only gainers by such a
revolution—it would do more than any other
measure could, to promote thrift and inde
pendence, and to prevent dishonesty in the
community. how independent would far
mers, and lawyers, and mechanics, and clerks,
and doctors, both of physic and of divinity,
and all manner of men in the community,
feel, if they owed no debts, for their person
al and domestic wants, but every man could
know that he had paid for his breakfast as he
ate it, and for his wife's hat, as she wore it,
and that he was servant to no lender—in the
shape of a creditor—for a grocer's or a tail
or's bill. Nothing could have so strong an
influence in making him forehanded and econ
omical, and in preserving him from the temp
tation to resort to mean and unworthy shifts.

GREAT SALT LABS CITY, UTAH TERIUTORY, }
THURSDAY, March 5, 1857.
Looking back upon the history of the past
seven years, and the course of the National
Administrations during that time, what won
der that we have little confidence in the fu
ture. Fillmore laid the foundation of the
Mormon treason which has now seized fast
hold of the Government of Utah, by appoint
ing Brigham Young to the Governorship, and
placing various other responsible offices in
the Territory in the hands of equally unscru
pulous advocates of the Mormon theocracy.
We appealed from them to Washington,
presenting incontestible evidence that it was
idle to hope for justice in Utah—and were
coldly repulsed—were turned away from the
door of the Executive Mansion.
There has been a great deal of activity late
ly in that mystery of mysteries, the "Endow
ment House," and hundreds of the new con
verts have passed through the "degrees," and
taken the fearful Mormon oath, in which they
swear fealty to the Prophet and eternal en
mity to the Government of the United States.
As a large proportion of these new converts
are ignorant proselyted foreigners, just arri
ved from the Old World, you may suppose
that this oath is sworn with a will, and with
out mental reservation. The ceremony of
initiation is generally concluded by the "seal
ing" of one or more women to every male ;
and on one day not long since fifty females
were thus taken as "spirituals." Unappro
priated women are becoming scarce in the
territory, and the polygamous monsters of the
Mormon Church are beginning to compel the
merest children to their wicked. It was only
a few days ago that two little girls, between
10 and 11 years of age, were "sealed" to old
men. It is a very common occurrence for
girls of 14 to be taken as wives.
Another docirine, almost too disgusting to
be mentioned, is beginning to be agitated,
and its promulgation is seriously contempla
ted. One of the leading tenets of Mormonism
prescribes the duty of "raising up a king
dom to God ;" and as Missionaries, absent
from their families while engaged in the la
bor of making proselytes in other countries,
cannot fulfill their duty in this regard, it is
held that their places at home ought in duty
to be supplied by others. It is proposed,
therefore, to appoint proxies in all such ca
ses, who shall act the part of husbands for
the wives of the absent missionaries.
Brigham Young is as thorough a despot
over this deluded people as ever held the scep
tre. A marriage, even without his sanction,
is considered of no validity. A young, man
named Orson Miles, had been paying his ad
dresses to a very amiable, young and pretty
lady named Whitney. Not long since Miles
went to Brigham, as in duty bound, to ask
The Credit System.
his consent to the marriage, which was unhes
itatingly granted. Soon after Miles had left
the royal presence, a man from one of the
Southern settlements entered Brigham's of
fice, and asked if he knew where he could
get another wife. The cold hearted villain
told him that he would give him Miss Whit
ney. Being reminded by the applicant that
she was already engaged, Brigham declared
that Miles should not have her, and if she
did not become his applicant's wife, he would
Bve her to some one else. The next morning
righam sent for her, and told her that she
must have either Furguson or an old man
who was then sitting by Furguson's side in
the room. With a degree of courage that
even men rarely evince here in the presence
of our tyrant, Miss Whitney replied that she
would have nobody but Miles. Brigham im
mediately ordered Miles on a mission to the
Sandwich Islands; if he refuses to go he will
be excommunicated, and in constant danger
of his life. In all probability, the poor girl's
only refuge from dishonor is in a suicide's
grave.
Some two or three weeks ago, I met, by
accident, a very interesting girl, apparently
sixteen years of age. I was informed not
long afterwards that Brigham Young had sent
for the girl's father, directing him to come at
a specified time to his office. He went and
found with Brigham a man by the name of
Mellay, who has several wives already. Brig
ham said to the father: "You have two daugh
ters; what are their ages?" The father re
plied that one was ten and the other sixteen
years of age. Young then told him that he
must give the eldest to Mcßay. The father,
not daring to give a flat refusal, put them off
by saying he believed she was engaged.—
Subsequently Heber C. Kimball, who stands
next to Young in the Priesthood, offered a
yoke of oxen and wagon for the girl. This
purchasing of young girls from their parents
is not uncommon here, and if, in such cases,
the father refuses either to give or sell the
girl to some one of the band, he will soon be
cut off from the Church, and become a target
for every species of outrage and oppression.
This McKay, to whom I have alluded, is the
Territorial Marshal.
The Mormon leaders are very anxious to
get fast hold of the young girl to whom I have
alluded, for fear of losing her, as she visits a
family not in the church, and her Mormonism
is thus endangered. In Ward meeting, on
the evening of 16th of January, the speaker
declared that if she did not cease visiting the
Gentiles, she should have her throat cut—
and that if her father would not be her exe
cutioner somebody else should.
But I weary of these sickening details, al
though what I have given you is only an ink
ling of what we suffer here. Let me close
with an earnest appeal : " Come and help us!"
I fear, alas ! that no aid can be afforded now
by the government ere it is too late for very
many of us; but there is a rising generation
here, comprising many an innocent and as
yet unpolluted young girl, who may be saved
from degredation and a life of wretchedness.
In any event, there is time to avenge our
deaths if we should fall, and to wipe out the
foul blot which the Theocracy that rules these
plans has fixed upon the National escutcheon.
I will write again should I have opportunity.

An Infernal Machine Plot at New Cas
tle.
NAREOW ESCAPE OF A MERCHANT.L-SOMe
two months ago, Mr. J. Smith Falls, a well
known wholesale grocer of New Castle, and
son of Mr. Thos. Falls, one of the wealthiest
men in Lawrence county, discovered in the
desk of his counting room, two small boxes,
which he at first supposed were left by some
of his acquaintances, for temporary safe
keeping, until their return. As time passed
by, and nobody called, Mr. Falls frequently
alluded to the boxes, but never expressed a.
curiosity to see their contents until Wednes
day evening last. He was then in company
with an acquaintance from Philadelphia, and
on taking the boxes out he alluded to the
singular circumstance of having found them
in the desk, and to the fact that their owner
ship was a mystery. Ile proposed opening
one of them, but his eastern friend, better
posted in the ways of the world, suggested
that there might be danger in so doing.—
Mr. Falls laughed at the idea, and was in
the act of pulling out a small strip of paper
from an apeture in the box, when his friend
raised his hand and prevented him. The
two began to talk seriously about the possi
bility of the mysterious boxes containing
those dreadful engines of wholesale murder
—infernal machines.
It was finally agreed to put one of the
boxes to a test. Accordingly; a spot was se
lected, the box surrounded by fuel, and a
match applied. In a few moments a terri
ble explosion took place, sufficiently power
ful to have either killed or maimed a whole
family, had they been congregated about it.
The report was distinctly heard in East
New Castle, on the opposite side of the
creek. Mr. Falls was very much affected at
the result, and well he might be—as his nar
row escape from death, and the thought that
a fellow being, unknown to him, had sought
his life, afford abundant food for reflection.
He cannot imagine who could bear such im
placable and deadly malice towards him and
his family. Our informant states that great
excitement was raised in New Castle, by the
occurrence, and it is to be hoped that the
murderous fiend will be ferreted out and re
ceive that punishment which his infernal
purpose deserves.—Pittsburg Union.
Horse-Flesh Dinner in Paris.
An experimental dinner was given the oth
er day by the firm of Chevet to a number of
savants who took the lead some time ago in
recommending horse flesh as a wholesome and
nourishing aliment. The banquet accordingly
consisted almost exclusively of that esculant,
and of the ignama, a Chinese root, which prom
ises, from its nutritive qualities, to become
a powerful auxiliary to the potato. Among
the guests were M. de St. Hilaire, the orgina
tor of hippophagy in France, MM. Mouquin,
Tandoo and Payon, members of the Institute.
General de Bressols, director of the Artillery
Department, at the Ministry of War; several
eminent agronomists, and Dr. Yvan, a gen
tleman who has travelled much, and whose
claim to be considered a connoisseur in gas
tronomy rests on the fact that, according to
his own account, he has in the course of his
life eaten of the dog, cat, monkey, rat, lizard,
shark, and even leeches ! This gentleman
states that the dinner consisted of a bread
soup of horse broth, boiled horse-flesh (five
hours' cooking), ignamas of China stewed in
butter, dabs with Dutch sauce, and ignamas
boiled for twelve minutes in water and salt,
vol au-vents d'amourette made with the spinal
marrow of the horse, a chine of horse (filet
de cheval) roasted, a truffied turkey, and a pie
of a la mode horse flesh. The soup was pro
nounced excellent, having a flavor which- beef
broth. does not arrive at ; the boiled meat
could not be distinguised from beef by any
outward token, and the taste was nearly the
same. The vol-au-vents, Dr. Yvan states,
would not have disgraced an Imperial table.
The roast was extremly rich in gravy, and
emitted a peculiar aroma not unlike that be
longing to good venison. In short, the horse
was unanimously pronounced a lit animal for
human food. As for the ignama, it was found
inferior to the potato in its feculent quality,
but superior in taste andiftavor. What renders
this root particularly interesting to agricultu
rists is, that the longer it remains in the
ground the more it increases in bulk and in
quality ; so that it may be kept in the ground
during years of abundance, and brought into
the market when a year of scarcity occurs.—

ODD FELLOWS' PARADE.-A parade of the
Independant Order of Odd Fellows is to take
place on the lst of June, on the occasion of
the ivauguration of an elegant marble statue
of Franklin, by the Lodge of that name, on
the lot belonging to the Lodge, at the Odd Fel
lows' Cemetery. Thirty Lodges have al
ready signified their intention of joining in
the ceremonies, and the parade will, -without
doubt, be a most imposing demonstration.—
The members of the Order who participate
will be clothed in full regalia, and the Lodges
will display banners, &c., and be accompanied
by bands of music.
The oration at the ground will be deliver

The statute will be a prominent feature of
the popular cemetery it is designed to embel
ish. It will stand upon a marble pedestal six
feet high, and be surrounded by a neat rail

and also lightning rods and other matters il
lustrative of the eventful career of the distin

DIED,
On the Ist instant, at his residence, at Hickory Grove,
Cromwell township, Major SAMUEL CALDWELL, in the 64th
year of his age.
[The deceased was a native of Huntingdon county, and
widely known and universally esteemed, both as a private
citizen and public officer. In 1828 ho was elected Major of
the 2d Battalion, 29th Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia,
and commissioned by Gov. Shultz, and in 1828 was re-elect
ed to the same office, in the same Battalion. In 1835 ho
was elected Brigade Inspector of the 2d Brigade, 10th Di
vision, composed of the Militia of Mifflin, Centre, Hun
tingdon and Clearfield counties, and was commissioned by
Gov. Wolf He served as Brigade Inspector from 1835 till
1842, and was probably one of the most efficient officers in
the State. In 1835 he was also commissioned "Justice of
the Peace for the County of Huntingdon," by (3ov. Wolf;
and in 1645 was appointed by Surveyor General John La
porte, Deputy Surveyor for Huntingdon county, and re
appointed in 1848, in which office, we believe, he contin
ued until 1851. Ile made a faithful and efficient officer,
and discharged every trust reposed in him with marked
honesty and ability.
He was kind mud social, but unostentatious in his man
ners; and an active participant in every reform that had
for its object the amelioration of his fellow men. He was
truly a useful citizen, and the community in which he
lived, as well as the public generally, will mourn his loss.
As a husband and father he was indulgently kind, and was
beloved by his family who have abstained a loss that Will

Dr. Ilarchan treats Consialapiion, Bronchitis, Asthma,
mid all diseases of the throat and Frogs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take'
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are die:
eased, breathe or inhale niedicated vapors diredtf*, into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease arid•should
be applied fax the very seat of disease. Inhalatiott is the
application of this prinCipfe to the treatment of the lungs;
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering metlicina.S. The ien:son that Consumption;
and other diseases of the lunge; heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they. have never been ap- -
preached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in:
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. 'Their action was intended to be local, and yet;
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffentling stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is.
so simple, that it can be employed by, the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree With the strength, comfort, of
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following
eases, either when domplidated with lung affectroi
isting alone, I ano invite Consultation, I tisnally tind thorn;
promptly curable. . .
Prolapsus and all other forriis Emnale Complaints, Ir
