the nr'Kt crtiel, barbarous pitiless and fool

dened the statute hook of a civilized peo

the folly of their madness, passed these |
laws, aud conituauded all citizens ot the ,
Territory to swear bv theui. The merci
less enactments could only be executed at
the point of the bayonet, and not very well
avca then. They were the cause of three
fourths of the horrors that blacken the his

party in the Territory are beginning at last
to appreciate end acknowledge tbe odious

"THERE IS A NORTH"
—Thus publishes,(and without a blush,)one
of our Democratic exchangesand its
Democratic readers we suppose have read
I Us sneer at the Freemen of the North who
' are opposed to the extension of Slavery,
| with gtisto and satisfaction; deeming it war
ranted by tbo editor'* show of figures.—
But Jo his figures warrant his sneer? Nay,
I verily, they do cot; for in the face of the
; proverb to the contrary, it is most clear
| that figures will lie , and that the above ti
j gures do lie, most outrageously. Thus:
| Pennsylvania is not 35,000 for Buehauau.
{230,013 of her honest yeoutunry voted
I against him, whilst only 230,t>00 of ail
sorts voted for him Pennsylvania can there- ,
fore only be set down ut 467 for Buchanan. '
New Jersey is not 17,000 for Buchanan,
but 4,746 against bint; for he received only
47,612 votes in the State, whilst Fillmore
aod Fremont received 52,560. Nor i lilt- j
nois 10,000 for Buchanan, but is against
hint, like New Jersey, und to tho maguif
{Cent tuue of 28,317: and Indiana is for j
him only by the beggarly count of 1,910,
instead of 22,000, as claimed above.
BUT "BEHOLD THE FIGURES" j
AGAIN!
The New England States are against
Buchanan, by a majority of 172,885
The Middle States are against him by
a majority of 207,313
The North Western States, (Cali

Behold thes- figures, [TF""501,944
majority against Buchanan in the Free
States.
Verily, verily, and of truth.
"THERE IS A NORTH."
And there will be a greater JVorth if j
Kansas be admitted into the Union a Slave 1
State—or if Slavery be extended over tcr- j
ritory now free—or, if a serious attempt be j
made to revive the Slave Trade. This our |
Democratic friends may write in a book, it j
they please. It is "manifest destiny,'*—
and no number of Naturalizitions practica
ble; nor frauds, nor party drill, nor aught :
in Democratic power can prevent it. But j
for the present, let the figures wo have giv- ;

"THEßE ISA NORTH."
POLTGAMI IN UTAH.—We HAVE bcn ■
so much accustomed to regarding polygamy j
cUcl; the
that it excited seine surprise and increduli- j
ty to tiear that Judge (Jarson, of the First •
Judicial District Court of the territory, has !
charged the grand jury that the practice, in
that rt'giuD, of having more than one wife,
is iudictable, and that it is the duty of the
grauu jury to bring such persons to punish
ment. The fact seems indisputable, never- ;
tbeless. It appears that there is no stat- j
ute law, of auy kiud, iu tbe territory, rcgu- j
luting marriage, the matter having been j
kept as a church regulation, probably for
the purpose of introducing this immoral cus*
I torn, so destructive to social purity, and the
| interests of christianized civilization. The
i court, however, poiuts to a law agaiuot
as sufficiently wide in its scope to
j embrace and condemn the practice of po-
I iygaiuy as a crime against society; and he
: urged it as a duty of the citizens of the tcr
j ritory to respect the acts of the Legisla
j ;ure as the supreme authoiity, without re*
| gard to the assumed dotuinat'oo of t'.ic
church, which is as much subject to the laws
of the country as is any citizen. Ail per
sous, therefore, who are nut legally mar
jried in other Stales are liable to indieinier.t
| particularly, however, when two or more
vHiuen are cohabiting with one man. This
is the first blow at the priestly yoke of op
pression in Utah— the first indication that ;
tlere is no higher law there than the laws ;
eavcted by the territorial authorities, which ;
;at hereafter not to be thwarted by the '
i niiidates issuing from priestly power. The i
: ! fist effect will probably be to induce those I
'| wo arc now living together without tbe
; | suction of tbe laws to Lurry off and get
' uwried iu some social community where
suh ceremonies are considered necessary
idhcur legality: the next will be to have a
' lis passed regulating marriage, and making
1 itionforui in that tertitory to the admitted
ciitoms of the civilized societies which eom
p4e tbe other States ao J territories of the

Si per ceat alloy bad been passed through

i&ew York, without detection, Mr. Snow
4, the director of tbe Philadelphia Mint,
polishes a card denying that any such ex

11 no metallic compound can resist the
t a used in our minting establishments.—
• A.'joinder from the parties making the

j i ntly asked how, seeiDg that the cxperi
j art was made upon the Mint, without tbe
k ! alioritios knowing auyt'niug about it, they
11 prep-red to make a denial of a thing vt
| which they tad no cognizance? The secret
process by vhicb this startling result caul}
! accomplished is said to have been discover
jed in Franee and communicated to parties
< here a few months since, and if, is claimed
I for it that gold bullion, adulterated as high
I even as ten per cent, will resist the chemi
! cul tests now in vogue at the assay office.—
; There is naturally a good deal of skepticism

THE TRAGEDY IN ILLINOIS.
I
A somewhat different version of the Man
| mouth, 111., tragedy, iu which the two broth
ers Fleming, of Cumberland Co. Pa., were
killed by Win. Croxier, a suitor to their
sister, appears iu the Aurora Beacon, which
states that Crozier, an honest and rcspecta
ble young man, was rejected by the father,
' who was well to do, solely because he was
not rich, that Miss Fleming, to prevent a
I marriage, was sent to Pennsylvania, und
1 that the family wanted to get a written re
j nuueiation of all claims to tier hand from
! Crozier, who remained locked in bis room
I
with them for five hours, before giviug his
| signature to some compromise writing*—
| Th-y then attempted to cowhide him; after
| several blows be resisted, and a desperate
scuffle ensued. One of the Flemings drew
a pistol and fired at Crozier with intent to
kill; their lawyer, who was present, struck
the pistol lip, and the charge lodged iu the
ceiling. Croxifr then drew a jack knife and
instantly killed them. The report of the
pistol alarmed the house; the brother of
Crozier rushed to the room, burst the door
open, and knocked down the elder Fleming,
who opposed his passage. As soon as the
door was burst open, the brother who was
last wounded passed down into the bar
room Sell and expired. Crozier has been
discharged from custody, the act being con
sidered a justifiable homicide iu self-du
fence.
SCHEMING AGAINST PENNSYLVA
NIA.
A Wasbiugton correspondent cf the N.
American says of the irou interest:
A formidable combination against the
iron interests of Petinny 1 vmiia, has been or
ganized here, mainly directed by agencies
from New York, now stationed ou the
ground, and assisted by iuflueuccs from
Ncrth Western and Eastern States. The
movement assumes as its basis, the united
support of the South, and will be attempted
whenever tli9 aggregate forces arc com
pactly united upon a plan of action.
Four or five active managers, with abun
*r9 regularly engaged in j ui-
JerstooJ, secured the co-operation of a fe
male advocate, who his established quar
ters :<t one of the principal hotels, and dis
penses profuse hospitality at the expense of I
the parties most largely interested.
The names of ail these persons have been j
placed at my disposal, and they will have
the advantage of publicity wheuever the '
facts justify that resort and without any !
regard to the political relation* they may j
occupy now, or have done heretofore. The '
whole scheme is a venal speculation, con
nived fir no other purpose, aud headed by ;
men who profess the uiust decided antago- <
uisni teeacli other in party connections. j
It ianecessary that prompt aud decisive
steps sioulu lie taken to counteract these .
malign influences, or they may prevail un

A DOVE ALIOUTANU ON A COF
FIN.
In Ediuborg, a few days ago, ft respecta
ble family in one of tkc nictist and qui
etest parts of the citjr, were thrown into
mourning by (be death of one of their num
ber, un elderly lady. A night or two after
tlie event a strange noi.-e was heard at the
window of the room where the coffin was
lying. It seemed like tha fluttering of the
wings of a bird against the window paces,
,d when the maid servant appeared ift the
window for the purpose of raising i', to ex
amine into the cause of the noise, a beau
tiful white dove flew iuto the apartment aud
alighted on the lid of the eufia. It offered
no opposition when they attempted fo se
cure it, and is now in the possession of the
relatives of the deceased lady, who, from
the singularity of the circumstances, have
resolved to preserve it carefully. Had the
event happened iu times past, when super
stition held sway, it would undoubtedly have
given rise to some strange imaginings rela
tive to the departed.— Ediiburg Experts•
AFFAIRS IN INDIA AND CHINA.
According to the arrangement in force
when the urail left India, the forces com
posing the Persian expedition should by
this time have arrived off Bushire. The
Bombay Times reports that the expedition
consisted of twenty six sailing transports or
an agg r egatc of 24,000 tons, ol three of the
P. and 0. Company's steamships, the Chu
ij-in, Singapore, and Pattiuger; besides three
lesser ve.-scls of the Bombay Steam Navi
gation Company, of an aggregate burden, iu
nil, of thirty thousaud tons, at a freightage
charge of above a thousuud pounds a day.
The lighting uieu iu all would amount to
about six thousand, without double thi d
number of camp followeis. Admiral Sir
Henry Leeke, commander in chief of the
Indian navy, lud beec authotized to lake
the command.
The Indian papers, nolwithstanding the
comparative proximity to the scene, are un
able to speak confidently and with detail re
specting the progress of the siege of Herat,
in this contrasting broadly with the Brua
\ sels journals, which from time to time re
port the capture of Herat, witii the fullest
details. When the mail left it was geue
raily agreed at Bombay and Calcutta that
the town was not takeu.
The Lahore Chrouielc declares its belief
iu the reports of its Cabul correspondent,
who asserts the fall of Herat, and gives re
ports from that place to Sept. 28, when the
Suah had invested Shai.zadah Mahomed Yu

has placed all the troops under his orders.

The news that an attempt has becu made
to destroy the principal king of Siam, lias
reached us byway of Calcutta. The facts
will be learned from the following narrative
forwarded from Itaogoou to a Calcutta co- j
temporary:
"The King of Sam was invited, about
two mouths ago, to n eutertainiaaut by one
of his richest subject*, ou a very grau ( |
scale. The King at once accepted, though
it was not in accoriauco with the national
customs for his majesty of Baukok to accept
hospitalities at the hands of auy subject;
yet tne grand scab of the preparations in
duced him to Coiiiuit, uo this occasion, a
breach of roya! etique.te. Tic king's
brother, however had his suspicions about
the entertainment, and advised the king uot
to go, feeling certain that it was ioteuded to
do some grievous Wnlilyharui to htm. The
kings having aceejteJ, did not like icbetray
symptoms of distruit, perhaps without a
cause, so he resolmd on an expedient,which
was to send, dressed in his usual royal at
tire, which may bi presumed as prescribed
for such an oocasao, would be so bulky and
exiensiva as to geaiiy oouceal the person
a courtier who vry much resouibied the
King, iu height, gure and face.
"The hour fixa by the King to go to the
assembly was abut midnight; the psued,.

tainers and men f the court, arrived at that
hour, and wasitmoe conducted to a throno

and friend of the people of that seuri-civil
ized counti v. And while ttiany of the
naked, greasy, flirty, natives of that por
tion of the huOiiuble giobe, and many of
our brethren of the Southern States, may
look npon him as such, wa of the Free
North can regard him as nothing more than
a freebooter, or to use a coiucd word, a
iFillibuster.' Thousands of deluded uieu
have rallied to his standard under the im
pression that by so doing they were render
ing a service to the inhabitants of that coun
try aud pushing forward the cause of civil
and religious freedom, ucver for one mo
ment doubting tbut such were the objects of
this Nicaraguan revolution, But alas, at
too late a dav those wuo have survived the
pestilential climate and escaped unscathed
Mie dangers of 'gritnvisaged war,' have as
certaiucd that such never were the objects
of tlis expediton, hut that on the contrary
the real object was to make the people, if
possible, lucre abject slaves than they for
merly were. That such were and are now
Walker's intentions wo have no reason to
doubt. The recent ruptaro betweeu himself
and his minister to England warrants the
assertion. No sauo man can for oue mo
ment doubt that the object of Walker is to
extend the area of human slavery over that
couutry. To speak ofhini as being auytliug
less than a slavery propagandist at once de
notes a lack of common sense. Who that
is conversant with his career ccn endorse
his actions! It is evident that he invaded
Lower California with the intention of con

what manner of right did he dure to murclt
into Lower California or Nicaragua/ Sup

and were incapable of governing themselves

♦•THREE CHEERS FOP. J. W. FORNEY.'
'Throe cheers, we arc told were givet
for Mr. John V>. Forney, at the Bucbatm
banquet iu Funeuil Hail, in response to i
reference made to that personage by a Jis.
tinguisbed ex-\\ big, who cotuplimcnud bin
with the title of u "great leader:" If Mr
Foraey is a "great leader," who are tin
Democracy V minor g.d! Not the niiht
est reference was made by the Whig appre
ciator of genius to either the great Sicklei
or the greater Sanders, or tbe grcateat Ityau
ers, perhaps because their State did not fol
low the example of Pennsylvania, but oh
stiuately voted for Fremont. Perhaps Mr
Fnrney's eminence as a man of letters [to
Mr. Roberts] secured to him tbe honor oi
this special mention in Bostou. Wi Siok
cs is popularly supposed to be a man of let
ters, (from the post office,) and Sanders used
to write Red Republican letters from the
London (xmsulaie to tbo revolutionists of
Europe, thus interfering with the local af
fairs of countries with which 0 woro at
peace, uud ou the best of terms, too. Such
oversights ought not to he allowed. It may
be that Mr. Forney's place as head of that
kitchen cabinet which is yet in nuoibus, en
titles him to special mention, but tbeu Sand
ers and Sickles may i Ja v fc scullion's berths
iu the same depuitnicnt of the government,
and therefore it would be good policy for
a*i office-seekers to remember that in tboir

The Philadelphia Ledger thas speaks 0 f
the reign of iawlfawes* tlai prevails in ihai
i'T : .*
We doubt whether o*jr city ever was so
badly disgraced, as by the license and dia-
orderly conduct which were allowed to pre
vail on Wednesday night. From an early
hour in the eveniug till daylight, gangs of
young men paraded the principal thorough
fares, dressed in ridieulous costumes and
Uikit g discordant sounds upon such instru
ments as they could gather. Half madden
ed with the villainous liquors they had im
bibed during their frequent visits to the tav
ern, and undisturbed in the streets bv auy
show of authority of a restraining character
they went on from one act ofiicense toan
other till ti-e night's Saturnalia ended in
slabbing and in murder.—These facts are
disgraceful to the police administration of
the city, and prove that, notwithstanding
tho groat expense of its organisation and
the effective means placed in its hands f or
maintaining pcaee at every point of the
City, our poiice is really not lobe relied on
Aud in another article the Ledger savi:
Gangs of yoiiug men paraded the streets
half intoxicated, and it was s much ass
persou's life was worth to attempt to re
monstrate with them, or resent the red#
| conduct tbey were guilty of. Three per
-1 sons wore stabbed during the night, oca
fatally, aud another probaly so.
WARNING TO \OUNO LADIES.
At the late Southern Commercial Con
vention, (Jol. Crocker, a delegate from Vir
ginia, deprecated the practice of sending
Southern girl* to Northern schools, and
made the alarming announcement thit,ou
the evening previous, lie bod heard no lent
than seven yonug tren dec-are tbaitbcv
would never marry a girl WHO had heeu ed
ucated north of Mason's & Dixou's'lioe.—
We hope this will not be petsislcd in, as it
would ci uipel ibe chivalry to remain bach
elors, or inairy ignoramuses. The South
em bruvos who wade this declaration should
remember that they have no schools ;a the
South provided for the educt ion of gins,
and not doom the unfortunate fair <oj io
ibe dreadful alternative of remaining wit
out education or becoming old inaids. Let
the South qualify herself to educate Ur
own cbildreu before the calls theai Lome.—
Make schools worthy of support aud they
will have it. Prepare to l.eip yourselvei,
gnutieuicn of the Southern Commercial
Convention, before you cut loose from your
present support. Open*up schools superi
or to ours, and the North w;ll patrauirs
you. Rut you wi.l not doibat Where
schools are established, aud general edujj
tiou diffused, Republicanism fljurisher,
and couscqueutly, the interests of Slavery
demand the preservation of the ignores
which pgitrades.
