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

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 :

"It appears certain that your countrymen, in
consideration of some guarantees hi Id out to their
commerce, arc about In accede to the Right of
St anh, ( least, our minixtera asscit it. If euch is
the fact, aftr the conversations and writing of the
American Ambassadors in Europe, and the in
fluence which these conversations and writings
have exerted upon the resolutions of our Cham
ber, the United Stales will soon find themselves
as destitute nf piditicul, as of financiul credit.
Pardon the freedom of my expression. This event
afflicts me much. I did not expect it, and I thought
nryself justified in affirming, in opposition to the
opinion of M. Gu'iot, that it would not happen. I
confess I thought the point of maritime honor,
dearer in Ameiica than it i.i."
The representations here referred to by M. im
Tocttvr.vii.vi: were of course unfounded. He did
no more than justice to lira republic in opposing
the opinion of M. Gim7.ot. It would indeed be j
treachery the most shameful if we were now to !
desert France on this question, after having induced ;
her to retrace her steps for the purpose of standing j
by our side. Perhaps it will not he known for ,

France has been to us in this imtlcr. j

at Niagara Falls, the 14th, quite extraordinary
and therefore the present lion of conversation.
A horse was seen, from an elvation between
the Clifton House and the road leading to the

tXj" Some of the opponents of the tariff are en
deavoring lo create a belief that the friends of the
tarilf wish to have a duly laid nn lea anJ cofTe.
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

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.

to it. 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. Some
of the districts are made to embrace a popula
tion of upwards of 90 000 whilst others con
tuin but a fraction over 50,(HtO The relative
preponderance of parties would most probably
be 1 1 democrats to I) whigs, and 1 doubtful, with
the chance in favor of the latter!"

And plaintive thus his sorrows sighed.

The Tariff and its Frirnds.
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

to pay a higher price for his iron than he does

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

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

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

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
