MORE AtORMON TROUBLES.
The St Louis New Era says :
q"assengers who arrived here yester
daY morning on the Boreas, state that Ma : .
jor Warren, with his hundred volunteers,
had made descent" upon Nauvoo, for
tl4' purpose of arresting the individuals
who had made the assault upon the Sher
iff of Rock Island; iwoundinehini and the
prisoner Redding; whom he had in custo
dy ; and that The Major found himself corn
pilled to fall back upon Carthage, as a
place of security. They also state that
the Marshal of the State has process in his
hands for the arrest of the outlaws, and is
determined to execute the sane at all haz
ards ; and that to this end troops addition
al to those under Maj. Warren are• being
called•out. Every thing about Carthage
and Nauvoo is hubbub and confusion; and
the crisis appears at hand, when either
Mormonism must .be put down, or anti-
Mormonism .succumb.
Major Warren, Judge Purple, and-. Mr.
Braythau, the Attorney General, visited
Nauvoo, and found two hundred Mormons
under arms,, and remonstrated against it as
contrary to the terms of pacification; Big
ham Young and Taylor replied, abusing
the Governor, Judge of the Court and all
the authorities of the State, and openly de
clared that they did not intend to permit a
ny more arrests to be made in Nauvoo.—
They have put the authority of the State
at defiance.

Candidate for Governor.
ri - We alluded in a Postscript last week to a
lengthy Coniinunication which appeared in• the
last Harrisburg- Intelligencer, over the signature
of "A Whig of 1840 & %I I," recommending the
nomination of our (I istingtiished fellow-citizen, the
lion. JAMES COOPER, as the Whig candidate
for Governor in 18,17. Although somewhat long.
we will endeavor to find room for it our nett is
sue. It is needless for us to say what the views
of the people of Adams county are upon this sub
ject.
They know Mr.: CoorEn—and that is sufli
cient. We may however be permitted to say that
no man commands a stronger personal and politi
cal popularity, and that we believe the proposedd
nomination is all that is necessary to open the
way for a certain and glorious triumph of the
Whig cause in-the 'Keystone State. •
- We are pleased to find that the views of the
Intelligencer's correspondent meet with a general
and warm approval from the Whig Press of the
State. "Considering Mr. Cooren's age," says.the
York Advocate, "he is probably one of the,best
men in the Union, and we have-not a doubt that lie
will receive'the nomination of the Whig Convention
when the time arrives. For our part, the woubl
rather see him Governor - of Pennsylvania than
any man in the State." ,
The Lebanon Courier, in speaking of Mr. Coop
er, remarks that "there is no one \ Thom the Whigs
of Lebanon county would more enthusiastically
support, or for whom they would give a larger
majority." The Upion Star is equally decided.
"We cannot forbear reniarkirig," says the editor,
"that Mr. Cooper is one of the very worthiest and
best men in the State, and has a popularity and
standing which iinr men in the State enjoy. He
would make an excellent , Governor."
These extracts might be multiplied. The fore
going, however, are sufficient to show which way
"the wind blows." Annexed is the concluding
paragraph of the Communication in the Intelli
gencer
This is the man we proposed to the
Whigs, as their candidate for Governor ill
1847 ; a man whose talents and frank, man
ly, personal qualitle,s have disarmed the
prejudice of party, and compelled the res•
pect and applause of political opponents.—
Should he be the candidate, as we ardent
ly hope he,will he, thousands of Detnoc - rats
will vote for him, through motives of per
sonal regard. That such will be the case
we have the most positive assurance.
From what has been said it will be seen
that, in our_ opinion, two things are essen
tial; in the candidate for Governor—=capac
ity to discharge the duties of the office, and
popularity to insto' electiim to it. It is
not enough thaU ins qualifications are im
puted ; they should really exist. It is no
uncommon thing to see the possession of
great _popularity and brilliant talents as-
.cribed to men who have neither—at least
in marked degree.. A speech whispered
in an obscure corner of some legislative as
sembly, which few heard and none remem-
ber, is hunted up and made to prove the
existence to both; nay more, that the author
is not only possessed of extraordinary pop
ularity and falentS, but that he has like-
wise rendered the most important services
to the country. But a candidate with a
reputation for popularity, talents and servi
ces thus made, is not such'a one as the
Whigs want. They want a man of prov
ed talents, capable of advocating the prin
ciples of their party under any circumstan
ces in which he may be called upon to do
it. They want a man who, if required,
will take "the stump" and proclaim Whig
principles from ode end of the Common
wealth to the other, if that be deemed the
best way, to disseminate them. Let JAMES
COOPER be the candidate, and he . will a-
chieve for Penniylvania, what JAMES C.
JONES achieved for Tennnessee—her de
liverance from the baneful rule eif_ Locofo
coism. - The old and prudent, confiding in
his tried probity and ripened wisdom, will
support him with zeal. The young men
of the State, Tull of the generous inipillS,es
of patriotism, gratified that the candidate
has been selected.:from their ranks, find
pround of the brilliant character and servi
ces .of the man selected for their leader,
will go into the contest animated with an
enthusiasm which will of itself go far to
wards insuring success.

The ]Presigleney.
1217 - The last Lebanon Courier, one of the most
spirited and judiciously
,conducted Whig Papers
in the State, contains a very sensible article upon
the subject of the Presidency, and the propriety of
concentrating, at an early period, the energies of
the Wh4 party upon some candidate of acknowl
edged ability, and personal and political ptipularity.
The editor dissents very decidedly from the views
of stial contemporaries as deprecate an .early agi
tatiorrof this important question, and thinks that
wvery instructive lesson might be learned from the
past history of our opponents—especially the
campaign 'which ended in the triumphant election
of Gen. Jackson in 1828. No sooner had the elec
tion of Mr. Adams in 1829 been ascertained, than
the whole force of the opposition, previously di
vided in
.their preferences between Jackson, Cal
houn and Crawford, was united in ardent support
of the candidate supposed to possess ate greatest
popularity. The result of the struggle told too
well the wisdom of their policy.
Nor. is the history of the Whig party wanting
in cusitoctive teachings. There can be no doubt
that the glorious and triumphant election of the
lamented liAnittsos was secured by the manly
and enthusiastic rally of his friends over the wh o le
country immediately after the defeat of 18.16, and
the persevering, unflagging energy with which the
Claims of his party were urged tiring the entire
period that intkrvened up to No 'ember 1310. It
must be well remembered, - too, that as soon as
the duplicity' nod treachery of Tyler had discover
ed itself, the Whigs were every where called upon,
once more to rally in immediate support of their
principles, and by none more warmly, if our me
tnory does not much deceive us, than by the very
presses that now seem so much to deprecate any
agitation of the question. The Whig party did
rally, and under the auspices of as glorious a
Chieftain as eve led to battle. And though HEN-
Illf CLAY was beaten by shameful frauds and ma
licious libels, we car. discover no reason why the
policy Which secured for him so enthusiastic a
support, should now be abandoned. There can be
no doubt that the true policy—the ONLY policy
of the Whig party, is to Flout osi AND LVATI.
There must be no reposing in quiet, unconcerned
indifference. State and local cOntests must be
fought with a view to the great national struggles
and to do .5o successfully it is all-essential that we
we have some, one individual to whom we canall
confidently look as the immediate agent through
and by whom our wishes may be consummated.
Upon more than one occasion the "STan - has
given unequivocal evidence of its preference as to.
the man. The early, ardent and constant friend
of HENRY Cr..cr, we have supported him upon all
occasion's, and we are free to say, we know of no
man living wtom we would prefer seeing . in the
Presidential Chair. At the same time we believe
it to be visionary in the extreme—worse than fol-
ly-to expect the Whig party ever to rally to his
support as warmly and unanimously as in the last
campaign. lir.Nny CL.I.r can neverLbF President
of the United StateS. repeat-itanii we pen
the words with painful reln6tance—great and gif
ted as lle.mor CLIT is in all the accomplishments
requisite to the profound Statesman, devoted
patriot, and noble man, he can never be the Pregi-
dent of this Republic ; and every effort upon the
part of his friends, witt a vie«• to te-nomination,
to say the least, must be unkind to the man an
disastrous to the Whig party. We must look
else•ehere, then, fin. the chieftain under whom the
Whig legions are to be Marshalled—one equally
worthy, and, we hope ; more fortunate than the
last. So thinks our frierld of the Courier; whoie
article concludes as follows
"The whole force of the Party- should be
concentrated, as soon as possible, upon ,a
man combining the greatest elements of
popularity with the People, and who can
command the greatest number of votes.—
This is the correct course, and the sooner
it is done, and the less it is deprecated, the
better it will be for the Whig cause, not on
ly in 1848, but in the Gubernat6sl and
Congressional election 4 in the . different
States which precede the general contest.
And who should be thavandidate ? Go
ask the hardy work-men throughout the
whole country—tlie real bone and siIICW . of
the land—aild they will shout with one ac
clamation the naive of one who has met
and driven back la country's invaders, at
a time when war's darkest clouds over]
shad Owed the ilation
guise(' that the first choice of the American
People has already settled down upon GEN
ERAL WINFIELD SC OTT, for the Pres
idency. iii 1848. The hold which this scar-
marked warrior has upon the affections of
the yeomanry of the country is ddep and
abiding; and they would rally around his
standard with the same unquenchable ar
dor and unflagging enthusiasm, which char
acterized. their support of the lamented
HituutioN; in 1840. Yield the nomination
al, once to the Hero of Chippeivay, and the
Electoral vote of Pennsylvania is not' only
certain for him, but the election of a Whig
Governor in 1817 placed beyond all doubt.
Neither Executive patronage, the (kill of
party, nor foul calumnies, could resist the
popular current in his .favor. Every pa
triotic American voter would at once' ex-
claim—

Mr. Webster,ln Fanneilll.
11:7"On Friday:evetnng last, the Whigs of Boston
assembled in mass convention in Fanueil Hall, the
TOld Cradle of Liberty." The Boston paperscon
tain full reports of the proceeding, speeches, AA...
among them, an - interesting and eloqurint speech
from Mr Webster, on the Oregon, Tadll; and Texas
questions. As Mr. Webstei's opinions upon these
important questions \rill command general atten
tion, we ',should like to give them „to our \ readers
in did not their length preclude it.
In relation to the Oregon questitin, he thinks
that the difficulty can and ought:to be honorably
settled. Holding the:ie views, he denounces the
war feeling so evident in some quarter,l, as un
worthy of the age, and says the man- who. shall
incautiously, or led on by false ambition or party
pride, kindle.those foes of war over the globe on
this question, must look out for it—must expect
to be himself consumed in burning, contlagratiOns
of self reproach. There will be a public indigna
tion before which no popularity, public or private,
camstand—it will melt down every monument of
the dead, it will destroy all respect fof individual
worth, if unnecessarily, if recklessly, if ambitious
.ly, it has plunged the subjects end citizens of two
civilized Christian States of the world into tvar—
a war which shall cause the loss of millions of
.wealth—shall turn cities to smoke—shall cost
thousands and hundreds of thousands of Lice and
those smoking cities, and that destruction ofjno•
party, and that sacrifice of life, shall be found over
the whOle globe, in every I.:titude and longitude,
surrounding the ball on which we live."
Upon the subject of the Tariff, Mr. Webster_is
equally decided, He regards the law of 1512 as
nalutary one, and deprecates any attempt to mod
itY it; or reduce the rates of duties. lie also con
demns the Native organization as visionary, and
calculated only to frustrate, by separate action,
the accomplishmerit of that at which they aim.
Mr. W. Was himself in favor of a reform in our
, naturalization laws, but he held-the great princi- .
pies for which the Whig party were contending.
as of much more immediate importance, and that
they ought not to be sacrificed to the "one idea."
Speaking of the Teas questions and the folly of
those Abolitionists Who secured the election of
Mr. Polk, with Annexation as a necessary conse
quence, by voting for Birney in preference -to Mr.
Cr r, he uses the following manly language :
'I know that thonsands.of gentlemen who took
such a course say that they meant well. They
meant well. lam notto scrutinize their motives;
they must answer for those elsewhere ; but I be
seech them now not to fall into another such mis
take. It is thought (it is an' idea I dO-not say how
well founded,) that there may be yet a hope-fin
resistance to the consummation of the annexation
of Texas. [Enthusiastic , applause.] I can only
say, for one, that if - it shailrever fall to my lot
to have a vote on such a question, and I vote for
the adthissiotiinto this Union of any State with a
onstitution which prohibits even the Legislature
from- ever setting the bondman free; I shall never
show my head again, depend upon it, in Fanned
hall !" (Tremendous cheering.)
The Oregon Question.
In — The Oregon Question continues to excite at
tention. The injudicious and warlike lone of tho
Government paper an - d
several of the Penny press,
served to bring out the views of the leading press of
the country, and we arc happy to believe that the
de6ded rebuke which this War spirit has thus re
ceived, will have an important influence upon
Government action. Not only have the leading
'Whig journals taken strong ground . in favor_of an
amicable adjustment, but we notice that the N. Y.
Evening Post, Charleston Mercury, New York
Commercial Advertiser, Washington Constitution
and other influential Locofoco papers, take ground
equally strong, Mr. Polk, it 'is understood,"will,
at all hazards, recommend to Congress, the propri
ety of claiming the whole territory in dispute, des
pite the repeated offers of the British Government
to compromise upon the oth :degree. Whet her
this recommendation will be sustained by the two
Houses, under the strong rebuke which its prospect
has called forth from the Press of the country, is
a question of anxious speculation. As Mr. Cal
houn's organ has declared against war, it is to be
hoped the influence of-that great statesman will
be brought to bear in favor of an honorable and fair
settlement of the difficnlti.

The Lexington Outrage.
For the Star and Mauer.
MR. T;:niToit:—The Lexington -outrage
committed by the. mob 'fills far short of
the outragii committed by the Court which
-, :trkl the offenders. The latter, in the nave
of justice, has liceniierviolenee. and pfk
claimed impunity 'to the worst aggressions
against rights hitherto regarded as sacral
and inalienable—the rights of person and •
of property. The mob, in the spirit of a
mob, fired by the passions of a mob, inva-i
ded the rights of an' 'American citizen,
'threatened his person, seized his property,
and, in effect, pronounced upon him sen
tence' of banishment. This citizen, not
in vindication of his own private Wrongs,
but in vindication of the supremacy of the
laws, sought redress before a tribunal
which he had boasted would not lie 'sway
ed by passion, or awed by violence, front
•• pronouncing a just judgment, and indicting
deaerved punishment on the ofli.nders.—
He was mistaken. Ile had miscalculated
the power, and corrupting influence of Sla
very. The Court ratified deliberately What
the mob had dope hastily and in . ..passion— .
it violated, by, its solemn j ulgthent, the
Constitution of Kentucky, an f the Uni
ted States, and trampled down tie great
common law privilege of every American
citizen—the - privilege of being tried 'by
jury of his peers for every offence, or al
leged offence, by whomsoever charged a
gainst him. In Kentucky the judgment
of the'mob is henceforth supreme. Selfish
malice, or jealous enmity has nothing more
- to do than to denounce On - indiVidied or iris
employment as a "nuisance," and the mob
' is at once invested with power unknown
to the courts and above the reach of the
laws. Life, property, reputation, all is. at
the mercy- of a selfishness that habitually
seeks its gratification at the expense of the
sweat and toil and degradation of its fellow
beings. 'What kind of social institutions
must they be which recognize protection
at the hands of a mob? And what security
is there that the violence which but now
prostrated a foe, may not next pronounce
judgment and do execution upon a friend ?
There is none. The remedy of abuses by
a mob is a dreadful one—generally the last
which precedes the disorganization of soci
ety. We venture to predict that the peo
ple of Lexington will-yet rue the day when
they committed the vindication of their
wrongs, (if wrongs they. endured,) to the
fury of a mob.
We are not ignorant that it has been
sari, and even made a matter of laudation,
that the mob which invaded the sanctuary
of a private citizen, seized his goods and
proscribed his employment, acted with
eireumSpection and calmness. What then ?
Is there any thing in the vaunted composure
with which this act of lawless aggression
• was consummated to disarm the fearg of a
wise man or a patriot? A knowledge of
the first principles of human' nature should
teach the 'contrary. If this—great wrong
had been committed in the frenzy-of sad
den excitement, there might be hope that
returning reflection would bring with it a
conviction of the enormity Hof the outrage
which would prevent its recurrence. But
having been done deliberately, it betrays a
settled disregard of the majesty of the laws
and a depraved condition of the public mo
rals, which we cannot but regard as the
precursor of Many ti scene of violence and
crime. This wrong was done with the
"malice aforethought," to Which every.
wise code of laws annexes the highest de
gree of criminally, and punishes with the
severest penalties ; and there is far 'more
to alarm . the friends of justice and the lov
ers of public order, in the deliberation with
which the act was done than in the act it
self. Such, we are assured, will- be the
judgment of every sound and well balanced
mind.
None will fail to understand that these
remarks have been elicited by the outrage
committed on CASSII I I.9 M. CLAY, and the
proscription of the "True ~ I nte rime
newspaper by a mob of the citizens of Lex
ington, Kentucky. Impressed with the
demPralizing effects and deep social mis
chiefs wrought by the institution of Slavery,
Mr. CLAY had devoted hanself to its extir
pation by enlightening the public mind on
the subject. As.the best means to accom
plish so desirable an end, he commenced
the publication of the above named news.
paper -in the city of Lexington. In con
ducting his journal lie did not always speak
of an odious institution and its effects in
dainty terms. Could he describe a foul
and fceted ulcer which was eating up the
body politic in terms as • delicate as a lover
would employ in celebrating the carnation
tint mantling on his mistress' cheek ?
Mint he did not was his offence. For this
was he Outlawed: For this is his life now
threatened—that, detemined to adhere to
his birthright as an American citizen, he
has re-commenced the publication of his
paper devoted to the cause,,of human free
dom. His blood may be shed ; but his
death cry will be the knell which sounds
the doom of Slavery. Amen ! •

leans Tropic of the 3d says :
We were fortunate in having a free con
versation with Mr. Perrott, from
. 11 - hoin
we gathered the following particulars, the
most important of which is his decided
i•onviction that all cx sling difficulties be
tween this Government and Mexico will
he amicably adjusted.. The Mexicans be
gin to think that the U. States are their
best friends after all. A ,geat change in
this respect has taken plac9 within the last
six weeks. • The improved feeling is com-,
.rnon to all parties. It has been brought
about by the late difficulties with the
French Minister, on the one hand, and the
protest of the British Minister against the
proposed revision of the Santa Anna con
tracts by the present Congress. These,
with the thousand and one domestic diffi
culties that now convulse Mexico •to her
very centre, all combine to settle the peo
ple and the Government in a more• friend
iv .position towards this country.
Tile indemnity, of which so much has
been said since Mr. Shannon's return, it
would appear, Mexico has paid; Accord
ing to the correspondence of our Govern
ment with its agents, the paymen't was
made on the 27th August, 1844 ; whereas
a copy of a receipt; certified by the IT. S.
agent, bears date 20th of Sept.', 1844.
Mexico seems to have paid the indemnity
in good faith, and the amount, though it
never found its way into the United States'
Treasury, must be _paid therefrom to the

The Ladies' National Magazine
FOR 1846:
EDITED 111 MRS. ANY S. STEPHENS!
U nder the, new law the Postage on this
magazine is less than on any other : there
is a saving, from the old rates 4 of fifty cents
a year. Why pay three dollars, and heav
ier postage, for the other magazines when
this, in every respect, is their equal
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
. The press says that, for - 1845, we - have
rivalled the three dollar books. Our aim
shall be, in 1846, to surpass them. Capi
tal, long experience in the business, a large
subscription list, alit the most talented
corps of contributors, will enable us to make
the BEST LADIES' PERIODICAL IN THE WORLD.
The improvements for the year 1846 will
be of the most extensive and costly char
t
after. The fashion plates will be execu
ted in a style of elegance never before at
tempted in this country. The January
number will be a gem, rivalling the annit
als in the splendor, if not in the number of
its plates.' Besides a.superb mezzotint by
Sartain, the prettiest affair he has yet en
graved; there will be an ILLUMINATED TI
TLE PAGE, after the style of the gorgeous
manuscripts of the feudal ages. This,ele
gant illustration is the first thing of the kind
attempted for a magazine, either here or a
broad: in this, as in other matters, we an
ticipate all others. It will be executed in
five colors , and be of rare and surpassing
beauty. This embellishment alone will be
worth a half a year's subscriptiou.
The January number.will appear iu new
type, cast expressly for us - ; and, in every
respect,. the mechanical execution of the
work will be improved.
THE WASHINGTON FAMILY
_ .
The February number will contain two
superb mezzotints ; and either in that num
beror in one immediately after, will ap
pear a mezzotint of the Washington Fam
ily : to possess this picture ought to be a
'sufficient inducement for every patriotic
American to subscribe. In a, word, we
shall take our readers by surprise, next
year, with the beauty; costliness and utili
ty of our illustrationti. SARTAIN'S GLORI

i.• The MezzOtint style of engraving will
be the principal one employ-al by us air
1846. We have made such arrangements
that rio other magazine Can-rival us 4n this

.character of our literary contents, we may
mention the fact that more articles are eop

woman's mind, or so thoroughly devoted
to her ta.ves or interests.

the Fashions are selected, engraved; and

style's. The other Magazines have long
been mere copyists of this ono, which has
