From BUknrir Reporter. Mart of lh Mormon, Much excitement prevailed hi Illinois at our lst account?, in relation to Ihc Mormons. The Snngnmn, Illinois, Journal of the 1st insL says 1 hut ft is now understood, 4 that ( within a few ilays past. Smith has made a desperate, black guard, ami abusive public attack on General "Bennett, Mr. Rigdon, and Mr. Robinson; and reports (and we place great reliance upon them) po so far 88 to say that the lift of the former has been threatened, and that orders have been issued to the Danile band to murder him in a clandestine tnanncr on the first opportunity. Indeed tire report goes further, and states that two of the Danitct have been in hot pursuit of Gen. Rennet for several days, in order to j accomplish the ncfarioo3 purpose, and tints prevent a public exposition of the corruptions ol i the great hnpoatcr. General Bennett has published Curd, con- , firming the above, and threatening to expose ; Joe Smith ns speedily as jiossible. Joseph Smith has replied at length to the attack of General Beiuiett. lie chutges the General with licentiousness of the very worst description, vindicates his own course by the testimony of a number of individuals, and gives cut affidavit motto by Bennett, on the 17th of May, in which -the character of Smith is warm, ly extolled. Bennett, on the other hand, wtys that Solomon was quite moderate, when com pared with Smith, in relation to his matri monial allairs. Both are gTeu-t scamps, if they ire 'to be believed. The Warsaw Signal says: "Several of Joe's right-hand meii hare left the church and joined Bennett's party. One disclosure, particularly, will prove interesting, and tha. is in relation to Boggs' murder. Ben nett, states tint A. P. Rockwood started sudden ly from Nauvoo, about two weeks before Boggs' assassination ; that he (Bennett) 06ked Joe where Rockwood had gone ; and that Joe re plied that he had gone to Missouri to fulfill jirophcift .' He says, further, that Rockwood returned toNuuvoo on the very day that the news of Governor Boggs' assassination arrived. Since that, the prophet has presented paid Rockwood with a carriage and horse, or horses, sind he has suddenly become very Hush of mo ney, and lives in 6tylo. These statements we give as we receive them, it is said that Ben net has affidavits to prove every fact above sta ted, and will shortly present them to the world. If this he true, then will but little doubt Te inain that Joe Smith was the real 'instigator of Boggs' assassination." Tiik Mormons Aoai.v The Sangamo Jour nal of the 10ih is filled to overflowing with ex posures of Morman villanies. It contains, a inong other things, two more letters from J. C. Bennett, giving further details of Joseph Smith's lieentiortsness and rascality, and char ging him distinctly with having instigated and caued the attempted assassination of Governor Hoggs. Bennett says that the man who shot Governor Boggs is a Mormon r.airwd Ruck ue'l, and thai he was sent by Smith to do it. The Journal also gives, from the Kuskaa kia, Republican, a long account of a murder committed on the 2nd of June, upon John Ste-plien.-on a Mormon and supposed to have been committed by two Mormons who had cal led upon him for contributions to build -the tem ple nt Nauvoo and been refused. Another article in the Journal we quote ver batim : We have late information from Nauvoo. Joe Smith anticipates a requisition upon Gov. Carlin from Gov. Reynolds of Missouri, for liis person ; and is detei mined not to be gi ven up. lie has all the State arms, some twenty or thirty cannon a targe number of -muskets, ('aggers, pistols, cutlasses all belonging to the Sttite, lie is prepared to use against the State authorities if Ihey shall attempt to deliver him to Gov.

Joe states that he will m t be given up and the Morimms say that the l'rophet shall not be taken while any oft.'.em are left to defend him t The Mormons have nominated a full ticket for county officers, of their own rrliiu$ dc vominuitnn, in the county of Hancock, II).

The Right of Search. The New York Courifir has the following e tract of a Must from M. de TocancriLiK to a friend in (hit country : "Pams, June &, 1842.

This is not only not true, but the fact is thai the free trade advocates are those who ask to have what is called a horizontal Idulv, that is, a tax imposed , ings, upon necessaries .. well eq.ially upon all th ns upon wines and silk and other luxuries. On the other hand Iho-n in favor of a protective tarilf, are willing lhat lea and colfee and such necessaiies should be free of duty, and lhat the lax be laid up on foreign luxuries and such articles as we can manufacture among ourselves. We ask what fur- ,n"' ""-'banic and laborer would not l in favor of such . measure. Our New fuiurmioiiul Ilistrirl Its Intrnsh.

In this county no man can succeed who is op; used cal, ac rx()rrt B0j ,,,1,, ,v creatine a home market for their produce. The great inujoriiy of our old and mosl aiedl'ast democrats are in favor of a taiilf.

The Keystone says if the wishes of the De mocracy of the stale are consulted, it will never be come a law, and proceeds to say : "It is to us, as it will be to the Democratic party generally, a matter of extreme regret, that after incurring the expense of a protracted llxtrn scosinn, the legislature did not Micceed in devising a bill conforming more strictly to the ratio fixed by Congpessi, or one, which would have rendered more exact justice to tha 23,000 Democratic majority in the stale.

The Sunbury Gazette of last werk, in referring to the speech of tho Hun. Juliu Snydrr, in Con gress, says : "In his speech lie proves that, so faros re gards the iron and paper manufacturers, they arc at the present prices fully able to carry on their respective business, receiving a sufficient remuneration for their labor. By a table affix ed, he shows that they do iimnutacture iron for jsiRi,.!:! per ton. For taking it to Baltimore it will rust making the w hole co.t, at Bal timore m'JIJI:). There it will sell tor :l dol- ! lars per ton, leaving a profit of nearly !t dollars. I Mmuicu.ring annually about lvJO tons would give them a clear gain ol more than xl(i,(MMI. A,j j(I tljs m,t pr(,fit ,,,,!, , 0(1JI,t lf. farmer and mechanic he compelled bv a tariff to pay a higher price for his iron than he does now, that the manufacturer might still have more profit ! No, verily, it is enough. A fur ther protection is unnecessary." Now, in the first pi ice, the editor of the Gactte ought In know that Iron cannot W sold at Ualti. more, if the duty is taken nil", at more than twenty two dollars ier ton, and that iron masters are p r feclly satisfied il'lhey can gel thirty dollars per Ion. They do not ask for more, and all they ask is, that the duty be not taken olf. But let the people of Shamokin and Danville, who have so aeverely at Hi red in the prostration of their extensive iron works, answer this profound argument of the Gazette. The editor of I lie (iu zctle asserts that Ihey can now clear nine dollars per ton on pig iron, at which rate the Shamokiu Furnace should have yielded a clear profit of ? -1 OtlO per annum. A handsome sum, truly ; and )cl lhat furnace, sa well as those of Danville, have been eomcllcd to stop. Ought not the editor of ihe Gazette to know best ! Has he not most con clusively proved on paper that the thing could lie done ? AnJ are not these paper arguments much moie certain and convenient than practical results! Can any thing be more absurd ? Here are four or five furnaces, capable of clearing f 21000 a year, and yet their hands have lieen discharged, and the furnaces are left standing idle.

But the Gazette argues, that perhaps lien. Jackson never wrote the Icttei attributed lo him in favor oi a protective tanff. Perhaps the General never wrote his messsge, in which he ncommeiids the same measure. Perhaps Jefferson, Madison, Monioe and Van Buren wcie never in favor of a protective tariff, as their messages and votes will show. Per haps our legislature and Gov. Wolf d.d lint knew what tliey w ere about, when they unanimously passed a resolution in favor of a protective tarilf in 1832. Perhaps John Adams was never in favor of a protective Unit. True lo ihe letter. waa the only I'lesidenl of the I'uitad fctatta who op. posed such a tariff. Why does not the Gszett and its free trade associates quote him nr. authority, and let the public know who were anil who were not the original free trade advocates 1 The Gazelle seems to think "that all this hue and cry about a protective tariff is for no other purpose ihnn to fr ied Henry Clay to the Tresidenry. Thai is Jusl what we are afraid oil'. The whigs are doing all they can to make it appear lhat the democrats arc opposed to a tarilf, and we regret to see lhat some few of ihc democratic pncrs are aiding them in riiueavoririg 10 cream suen an impression.
