THE HUNTINGDON GLOB N;, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL *AND GENERAL NEWS, H.
One Month Later from Utah.
The California papers have dates from Salt
Lake City to the 13th of December. Not one
word is said in them in regard to the position
of the United States troops, their condition,
or a collision having taken place between
them and the Mormons.
An extra of the Los Angeles Star, from
which we quote, says :—" Brigham's army
has been put in much better condition than
it was. Clothing and provisions have been
supplied to them, the poor people in many
cases denying themselves the necessities of
life in order to make up the supplies neces
sary to keep an army in the field."
It having been understood that Col. Alex
ander had made a movement as if he intend
ed to enter the city from the north, by Bear
river, it seems from a hint Brigham let fall,
that he has dispatched a force to meet him
there. This is to be inferred from the fact
of seizing the cattle from a man in the north
to supply the wants of his troops. The Mor
mons are preparing for a long contest. Being
free from molestation by the army till May
or June, they are busy putting in crops. A
much greater breadth of land will be culti
vated than before.
The proclamation of Gov. Cumming had.
been received at Great Salt Lake City, and
read in the Tabernacle on the 6th December.
Very- free comments were passed upon it,
Mr. Carrington, of the News, insisting that
it was unofficial, not having specified that
the appointment was "by the President of
the United States." The elders of the church
decided, consequently, that they had. as yet
no information of the appointment of a new
Governor.
After reading the proclamation it was re
ported among the crowd outside the Taber
nacle that Brigham had stated that he would
admit Gov. Cumming, but that none of the
troops would be permitted to accompany
him. This looks like backing down.
The Mormon troops, under Lieut. General
Wells, had returned to the city, leaving about
fifty men in the mountains to hold the passes
and watch the enemy. The "boys" brought
with them from 1000 to 1500 head of cattle.
Several more "sermons" preached by the
elders and others at Salt Lake City are pub
lished. John Taylor, one of the Twelve
Apostles, in his discourse in the Tabernacle,
concludes thus:
And now, having been forced from the
United States, after having been driven time
and time again from our homes by our mur
derous enemies ; having fulfilled all the re
quirements that God or man could require
of us, and kept every law necessary for us to
observe; after all this, and more, 1 say, shall
we suffer those poor, miserable, infernal
scoundrels to come here and infringe upon
sacred rights ?
[" No !" resounded throughout the Taber
nacle, making the walls of the building
tremble.]
"No I it shall be " the kingdom of God or
nothing," with us. That is my text, I be
lieve, and we will stick to it : \VG will main
tain it, and, in the name of Israel's God, the
kingdom of God shall roll on, and all the
powers of earth and hell cannot stop its pro
gress ; it is onward, onward, onward, from
this time henceforth, to all eternity. [Voices
of " Amen."]
"Are you not afraid of being killed ?" you
may ask me. No. Great conscience ?—who
cares about being killed? They cannot kill
you. They may shoot a ball into you,
and
your body may . fall, but you will live. Who
cares about dying? We are associated with
eternal principles ; they are within us as a
well springing up to eternal life; we have be
gun to live forever.
Who would be afraid of a poor, miserable
soldier, a man that gets eight dollars a month
for killing people—and a miserable butcher
at that, one of the poorest curses in creation ?
Mean as the Americans are, they will not,
many of them, hire for soldiers, but the gov
erment must hire foreigners for eight dollars
a month to come out here to kill us. Who is
afraid of them ? Let them come on or stay
and wiggle, it is all right.
We are the Saints of God ; we have the
kingdom of God, and the devils in hell and
all the wicked melt on earth cannot take it
from us. We shall rule and have dominion
in the earth, and they cannot help them
selves.
Life in Arkansas
A ..ifan Whipped to Death with a Handsaw.
—A correspondent writing to us from Little
Rock, under date of the 30th ult., relates the
following :
On Tuesday, the sth day of January, 185 S,
at Reid's bridge, a most inhuman act was
perpetrated. About the Ist of January some
$l5OO were stolen from the widow Reid, at
the bridge. A negro woman was whipped
severly to force a confession,that she had
some knowledge of the money. Under the
torture, she stated that a Mr. Cobb, in the
vicinity, ha mot the money, but not till the
question ha een oftena shed if Cobb had
not got the money.
Elias Good, the brother of widow Reid,
and Martin - Bell, her son-in-law, went to
Cobb's residence, took him to the bridge, then
sent round the neighborhood, and gathered
a number of associates, took Cobb, stripped
him, and tied him across a log and whipped
him with a handsaw. After whipping him
they started to go to his brother, in Prairie
county, 12 miles distant, stopped after going.
8 miles, and whipped him again, and then re
turned to the bridge. At that time the num
ber who took part in the whipping amounted
to fifteen. Each one agreed to give a-num
ber of licks with the handsaw. Good said,
be knew the law, and told them to go ahead,
be had a barrel of money, and would pay all
expenses. They forced Cobb to drink whis
key with them—whipped him Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday. Then, under some
sort of mock trial, committed him to jail at
this place.
Dr. Webb called at the jail to see Cobb,
and found him perfectly black, from his head
to his feet, with large gashes in several parts
of his body. The doctor said Cobb could not
live. He lingered in great agony several
days, and died about the 15th inst.
Cobb begged the inhuman monsters, while
whipping him, to shoot him, and end his
misery—not torture him to death.
Cobb's dying declaration was taken, and
it appears, from circumstances on the exami
nation, that he was innocent, as he steadily
averred while living. He has left a widow
and four children.
Eleven of the murderers have been arrest
ed, and four have made their escape. A
preacher is one that made his escape. Six:
have been admitted to bail under bonds of
two and four thousand dollars, as accessories,
and five arc detained in jail for murder in
the first degree.
I have waited till the close of the examina
tion, and the papers keep a dead silence on
the subject. The foregoing tyre the main
facts in the case.
The Last Mexican Revolution--Full Par-
ticulars
In the Havana papers of the 6th inst., we
find the particulars of the Mexican news
which was telegraphed from New Orleans on
the 10th inst. The dates are to the 31st ult.,
from Vera Cruz
The violent state of affairs created by the
pronunciamento of the 11th of January, had
hastened to the forseen end. President Com
onfort fell, and was obliged to fly from the
country after ten days of resistance and use
less efforts to preserve his power, and Gen.
Zuloacra, chief of -the pronunciamento of the
11th of January, occupied the Presidency ad
interim, by virtue of au election by the House
of Representatives nominated fur that pur
pose. The chronological order of 'events
was as follows :
On the night of January 16, a suspension
of hostilities for forty-eight hours was agreed
upon in order to consider some proposals sub
mitted by Comonfort. At 7 o'clock P M., on
the 18th, the armistice terminated, without
the arrangement of any treaty, and opera
tions were immediately commenced by both
parties. On the 19th the figot continued
with still more vigor. Gen. Licerga, with all
his forces, and some other bodies of the gov
erment troops, deserted to the ranks of the
enemy.
The 20th was the decisive day. A strong
column, commanded by Osollo and Wirte
mon,. sallied from the citadel and vigorously
attacked the Acerdade. This position could
not resist long, and was carried by assault,
all the garrison failing prisoners of war.
Defeat followed in all the positions taken
by the goverment, and the defeat became a
flight. At 7 o'clock that night Comonfort
gave his last order as general-in-chief. The
garrison of San Francisco evacuated that
place ; the other buildings held by the gover
ment troops were abandoned, and all the
forces were reconcentrated in the palace.
On the morning of the 21st, the city was at
the mercy of the revolutionists. Comonfort
had abandoned the palace and taken refuge
in flight, accompanied by a few adherents.
Gen Zuloaga immediately nominated a House.
of Representatives to proceed to the election
of a President ad interim, and the choice fell
unanimously upon him, the chief of the "Re
formed Palace of Tacubays." Zuloaga, took
the oath before the House, and entered upon
his duties on the 22d of January. The fol
lowing particulars of the bombardment are
from the Diurio de _dirsos, of Mexico :
"In the church of St. Francisco, on the fur
ther side of the BOulavards, three boinshells,
which were thrown into the church, exploded,
and did considerable damage to the organ,
breaking a great number of its pipes. In
ITineria, the hand grenades did a great deal
of damage. They were thrown from the
fortress with such a well directed aim that
four of them fell upon the observatory, where
the enemy had taken a position in order to
fire down upon the church of La Conception.
One side of the hospital of Terieros has the
marks of five different volleys of cannon,
some of which made a breach in the wall and
penetrated as far as the shop of Senor Pen
unuri.
"Several hand grenades were thrown with
admirable skill in the pointing, from the tow
ers of the governmental palace. One of these
which was thrown from the church of St.
Francisco, fell inside the steeple of the church,
and killed instantly from ten to a dozen sol
diers who were there, completely clearing
away all-the sand bags which had been fixed
up on the tower for defense, not leaving so
much as one of them.
"Besides various other damages, there are
quantities of whole blocks in the city which
have been fired upon and large breaches
made in the houses, by the special orders of
Senor Comonfort."
Cool—Very—Letter from a Pickpocket
to his Victim.
Dr. C. H. Roberts, of Poughkeepsie, visit
ed New York a few days ago, and spent an
evening at the Academy of Music. While
there he had his pocket picked of a wallet
containing forty or fifty dollars in bank bills
and some papers. After returning home he
received from the pickpocket the following
letter, which he handed over to the Pough
keepsie Eagle for publication:
NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 1858.
Da. CHAS. 11. ROBERTS—Dear Sir: I had
the pleasure of relieving you of your pocket
book on the evening of the 2d, in the crowd
at the Academy of Music. I presume you
soon became aware of your dispossession,
and have perhaps had some anxiety as to
the application of the funds it contained.—
You have my assurance that they have fallen
into appreciative hands and that every cent
will be applied in gratifying, the tastes and
fancies of a fellow-being, whose ambition
soars higher than his calling. You need not
flatter yourself with the idea that you have
my acquaintance, because I favor you with
my correspondence; no, Doctor, divest your
self of that ambition.
I write you in accordance with the law of
honor among thieves, and to do you the jus
tice of returning to you the two enclosed
pieces of paper, which are of value to you,
and worthless to me—one being a note paya
ble to your order, and the other being a for
mula for making teeth—neither of which
can be available to me, as my present em
ployment probably pays better, and is a busi
ness more pleasing to my tastes. From the
date of the note, I concluded that you had
been in town several days, which may ac
count for the lightness of your purse. Now,
Doctor—proper respect for gentlemen of my
calling, should never allow your - purse to be
come so low ; it is hardly up to the average
of usual collections.
Then, I have reasoa to protest against
gentlemen of your standing carrying uncur
rent money. It is under serious considera
tion to return to you the Sti'on Morris county
Bank, N. J., which I find at considerable dis
count; the six fives on the Poughkeepsie
banks go current, and the few smaller bills
can be easily disposed of by a person of my
habits. From the name and recipe which I
found in the pocket-book, I conclude that
you are the well-known dentist who long
since-did me much service in your line of
business, while pursuing my avocation in
Poughkeepsie.
Now, Doctor, don't consider it New York
hospitality to extract purses in return for ex
tracting teeth, but remember that all have
to do something for a living. You were fol
lowing your avocation on me, and I was only
doing the same on you when you visited our
city—and this case affords a fair example of
the comparative profits of our business. You
spent much time and received a small fee,
mine was an operation of a moment. When
I consider this difference, and the gentle
manner with which you attended to me, I
am quite inclined to return your purse and
contents, but that would be unprofessional,
and beside, would involve a loss of time on
my part, for such crowds do not occur every
day, even in New York; but be assured, that
had I recognized you I would have spent the
time appropriated to you on some other per
son,
The only reason I can ascribe for not re
membering you, is, that I never saw you but
once before, and I presume that when you
come to the city you dress up in your best,
and look very different than when attending
to your business at home. This little lesson
may be of service to you and learn you that
pocket-books are not safe in crowds, and if
you are ever caught in one again, let your
vigilance be directed to your purse in propor
tion to its dimensions, Yours, INCOG.
Reports of the Senate Committee on
Territories
WASIIINGTON CITY, Feb. 18.—The report
made to-day, by Mr. Green from the Senate
Committee on Territories, recites at large the
events in Kansas, and asserts that the major
ity of the people may simply, as in ancient
days, in mass meeting, make the Constitu
tion ; they may elect representatives to make
one for them, or elect representatives to draft
one to be submitted for approval or rejection.
The last method has been the most approved
during the past few years, though, formerly,
the second method was very generally resort
ed to. The calling of a convention, as in this
case, was conceded to have been strictly
legal, and also the election of delegates. Was
it not logical to infer that the convention was
legally elected, and clothed with authority to
make a Constitution, which can no more be
interfered with by Governor, Judge or Legis
lature, either to increase or diminish its pow
er, or alter, modify or nullify its acts, than
the people could be interfered with, had they
assembled en masse, instead of by represent
atives? In conclusion, the Committee say
that the abolitionists in Kansas had thus far
Sought power by methods unknown to law,
and by violence ; not through the peaceful
agency of the ballot box. Claiming to give a
majority of the voters of the Territory, and
therefore able to elect a Legislature and Con
vention, they ask Congress to wrongfully do
for them what they may at legal times and
legal places rightfully do for themselves;
that is, to change or abolish their Constitu
tion ; and in case Congress refuse to comply
with their constitutional demands, they
threaten to afflict the country with an at
tempt at bloodshed and revolution. Unless
Congress will do fcr them what they assert
they are anxious not to do for themselves,
but which they wilfully refuse to do, they
threaten to plunge the country into civil war.
This conduct is so exceedingly unreasonable
as to force the conviction upon the mind, that
they are conscious of being a powerless mi
nority, and only expect to be able to compass
their unwarrantable ends by departing from
the general wity of peace and quiet. If your
Committee are not greatly mistaken, those
reckless men misjudge the American people,
and will be required to seek for peaceful
methods for the redress of all their griev
ances, whether they be real or imaginary.
The bill recites that the people of Kansas
framed far themselvess a Constitution and
State Government, republican in form, and
the Convention held at Lecompton has, in their
name and behalf, asked Congress to admit
her. Therefore, it is declared that Kansas
should be admitted into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States, in all re=
spects whatever. The bill prescribes boun
daries, and contains the usual regulations rel
ative to, and grates of public lands, as in the
case of Minnesota, and gives Kansas for the
present, one representative in the _House of
Representatives.
Mr. Douglas, in his report, dissents from
the views of the majority for reasons, among
other, that no satisfactory evidence exists that
the Constitution framed by the Lecompton
Convention is the act and deed of the people
of Kansas, or embodies their will. He shows
that the Convention was not clothed with com
petent power to establish a Constitution with
out the assent of Congress, which has been
expressly withheld in this case; hence the
Convention only had such power as the Ter
ritorial Convention could rightly confer, and
no more, which was to form a constitution
and send it to Congress as a memorial for ad
mission, which could be accepted or rejected
according as it embodied the popular
That all the proceedings of the Convention
should have been held in spirit of obedience
to the Territorial government, while in fact
it was declared to be in force, and take effect
in defiance of the authority of the Territorial
government, as well . as withont the consent of
Congress ; that the only lawful election held
on the adoption of the constitution was that
of the 4th of January last, which was in obe
dience to the law framed by the Territorial
Legislature established by Congress, with full
legislative power on all rightful subjects with
in the Territory.
Messrs. Collamer and Wade, in submitting
their views, say that the Territorial govern
ment of Kansas was never organized as pro
vided in the original act; that is by its own
people, but was usurped by a foreign force,
conquered and subdued by arms, and a mi
nority installed in power, which has ever
since been sustained by the general govern
ment, instead of being examined into and cor
rected. This has been done to establish and
perpetuate slavery. The Lecompton Consti
tution is the result of these proceedings, and
is contrary to the will of a great majority of
the people legally expressed ; and for Con
gress in its discretion to consummate this
protracted atrocity, especially for such a pur
pose, is a violation of the fundamental prin
ciples of the republican government, and can
produce no permanent peace or satisfaction
to the people of the Territory. In the late
Territorial election, they have reclaimed their
rights, and that the Territorial government
is, for the first time, now moving peaceably
in its legitimate sphere to promised freedom.
The Lecompton Constitution and its adoption
was concocted and executed to supercede the
triumph of justice. To admit it by Congress,
is but to give success to fraud, and encourage
merit to iniquity, and to turn over that peo
ple, not to au election fairly and legally con
ducted, but to such State officers and legisla
tors, as Calhoun shall hereafter proclaim, and
on such contingency as he shall determine;
and his long, mysterious and inexcusable in
decision arid reserve, but encourage expecta
tion in both parties, one of which is earnest
ly doomed to disappointment.
"'TILE JERKS. "—The Illinois Baptist of
January 14 says that "'This strange infatua
tion is again revived in our immediate vicini
ty. It made its appearance in a protracted
meeting among the Methodists at Indian
Grove. The ministers who conducted the
meetings moved them from Indian Grove to
Avoca, and brought with them ftive or six
jerkers, and thus the contagion commenced
at the latter place. Our informant was pros-
ent at-several of their meetings in Avoca,
and describes the scene as very exciting.
From fifty to a hundred were jerking at the
same time. Their hands, shoulders, feet and
head would be violently thrown into the
most grotesque and painful shapes. The wo
men's bonnets would fly off, their hair become
dishevelled, and in some instances snap like a
whip. In some instances it attacked unbe
lievers, and unconverted men who tried to re
sist it by folding their arms and wrapping
them tightly about their bodies, but in spite
of temselves their shoulders, first one and
then the other, would be jerked back, till
they lost all control of themselves.
State Lunatic Hospital.
The annual report of the Trustees and Su
perintendent of the State Lunatic Hospital,
at this place, has been presented to the Legis
lature. We learn from it that during the
year 1857, one hundred and forty-three pa
tients have been admitted into the institution,
and one hundred and twenty-six have been
discharged, leaving two hundred and fifty
under care, at the close of the year. Of those
remaining in the Institution, one hundred
and fifty are supported by the public authori
ties, and one hundred by their friends. Of
all discharged, twenty-five were cured, thir
ty-two improved, forty-four stationary, and
twenty-five died. If our readers feel as much
interested in the subject as we have, we
shall have done a satisfactory act by giving
a brief synopsis of the report.
The capacity of the present hospital is for
three hundred patients, one hundred and fif
ty of each sex, and this number is now re
garded by the best authorities as quite as
large as should ever be collected in one build
ing. Under . these circumstances, it is obvi
ous that but a very short period can elapse
before it will be necessary to make addition
al provision for that portion of our Insane
residing in the western portion of the State,
and to many of whom the journey to Harris
burg is not only injurious, but the expense
is much greater than if they could be accom
modated near their own homes.
The number of persons admitted into the
Asylum since its commencement has been
898, of which 373 were females, and 525
males. The causes assigned for their lunacy
are as follows :
11l health, 87 ; domestic trouble, 107 ;
Grief, 3 ; Millerism, 4; Spiritual rappings, 1;
Excessive study, 3; Disappointment, 3; Over
exertion, 9 ; Epilepsy, 31 ; Fright, 8 ; Intem
perance, 24; Religious excitement, 6; Puer
peral, 27 ; Opium eating 2 ; Loss of sleep, 3 ;
Disease of the brain, 8 ; Failure in business,
2; Anxiety, 4; Disordered menstruation, 27;
Injury of the head, 0; Loss of money, 4; 11l
treatment, 2; Masturbation, 32; Excesses,
10 ; Novel reading, 2 ; Exposure to the sun,
2; Want of occupation, 1; Mortified pride, 1;
Politics, 1; Not assigned, 475.
Of these, their several conditions were as
follows :
Married,
Widowed,
Single,
We are pleased to learn that the Institu
tion is in the most complete order through
out, and that the latest improvements are
yearly being added. The report contains
very handsome compliments for the different
officers of the Hospital—Dr. Jno. Curwin,
Superintendent, Joel Hinckley, Steward,
Dr. William R. Dewitt, jr.„ and Dr. S. S.
Schultz, Assistant Physicians, and Mrs. Mary
Ann Wilt, Matron. It must be a matter of
congratulation to every Pennsylvanian, that
our State has in her midst an Institution like
this, in which she can feel so much pride.—
Harrisburg Daily Herald.
Can the Lecornpton Constitution be Al-
tered before 1864 ?
The Lecompton Constitution provides that
it cannot be altered before the year 1864, and
not then, unless two-thirds of the Legislature
authorize a Convention to be held. We have
always held the opinion that the Constitution
can only be altered in the manner pointed
out in that instrument. Let us examine the
subject in a few words.
When Kansas shall have been admitted
into the Union, her Constitution immediate
ly becomes the fundamental law of the new
State. It will be higher than all other laws,
which are but an emanation, or rather crea
tures of it: The Legislature can only be or
-otsized in accordance with its provisions,
and no act of that body can be valid, as a
law, if passed in opposition to it. All such
acts would be invlid and without binding
force. The President, in his late Kansas
message, says, "But in what manner is pop
ular sovereignty to be exercised in this coun
try if not through the instrumentality of es
tablished law ?" This is just the idea, and
will apply with great force to Kansas, if it
should be admitted under the Lecoinpton
Constitution. In that case, the only "estab
lished law," through whose "instrumentali
ty" the Constitution could be changed, would
be the constitution itself. 'But this instru
ment provides that no change shall take
place until the year 1864, and to alter it be
fore that time would be in violation of "es
tablished law ;" and Mr. Buchanan thinks
"popular sovereignty" in this country can
not be exercised in this manner; and so we
also think. The President says, in another
part of the same message, "Oar only safety
consists in obedience and conformity to the
law." This is sound, patriotic doctrine, and
we endorse it ; but it seems to us to be opposed
to the idea thrown out in some quarters, that
the people of Kansas can change their Con
stitution in any manner they please, without
regard to the provision of that instrument.
It is true, the President says, in another
place, that the majority , "can unmake Con
stitutions at pleasure," but, of course, it
must always be-done "in obedience and eon
formaty to the law." Here we have the
President of the United States sustaining
our view of this question.
But further: Can the Constitution he al
tered except in the manner that instrument
points out ? When the Legislature comes to
meet under it, every member takes an oath
to support the Constitution—not part, but
the -whole. how, then, can can a member
vote to alter that instrument before 1864,
when it is expressly provided in it that no al
teration shall be made prior to that time, and
he has sworn to support this clause as well as
every other? Even if a bill providing for a
new Convention should pass the Legislature,
how could the Governor approve it with his
oath of office resting upon him? If the peo
ple should make .a new Constitution in any
other manner than in "connformity to law,"
and attempt to put the Government under it
in operation, Uhited States troops would, of
course, be called in to protect the Lecompton
Government. Who does not remember the
case of Rhode Island.
