A CRIMINAL RUNAWAY MATCH AT AURORA, ILLINOIS. On Thursday of last week, a Dr. 0. A. Lovcjoy, of the West Division, called his wife to him, placed notes and accounts in her hands to the amount of $1,000, made s^ver to her a deed of the lot on which his hou-icad was situated, and concluded by cooly avowing-his determination to leave her, in company with another man's wife, between whom and himself a criminal intimacy had long been suspected to exist. The lady alluded to was- the wife of a respectable mechanic, uamcd Robert Neale, and the mother of two children. The spouse of the Doctor, of course "look on" dreadfully at the strange turn affairs had taken, but was speedily silcuced and informed that nothing on earth could change the determination of her fickle lord. On the evening of the same day, Mrs. Neale, who was preparing to leave her husband, betook herself to a Dry Goods store on Main street, East Division, where she had frequently traded, selected a splendid broche-shawl, valued, at some forty dollars, saying that she had not expected to purchase so costly an article, but would take it home—as a good wife should, and if Mr. Neale coincided with her choice, she would return the ensuing day and settle. If he should not like the trade, she was to have takeu a cheaper one she had examined. But alas for the honesty of women, and Mrs. Neale in-particular. She forgot to return the shawl, and took the cars at an early hour the very -next morning, and was off like a "pot leg." Her Cars Sposa followed in the evening train, an,d not until some time afterwards did it leak out that they had flown together!

One has lost a shawl, (probably the most serious detriment our, city baa- sustained in the whole occurrence) another has been deprived of a wife, (no 5criou«rdepri-

The Old Testament containing the most ancient books in the world, he found it convenient to imitate its style. He therefore launched out at will into the region of free historical romance. This was in 1812.— His neighbors hearing of the progress of his curious work, would come to his house and hear portions of it read, It claims to have been written by one of the lost nation, to have been recovered from the earth and was christened with the title of "Manuscript Fouud." This self-amusing gentleman, pretended to be decyphering the mysteries of the disinterred manuscript, and regularly reported progress to his neighbors. /TrfV

From the classics and from ancient history lie introduced many uncouth and unaccustomed names, which awakened curiosity. Mr. S. removed to Pittsburgh, and fouud a friend in the person of an editor, to whom he showed his manuscript. The editor was pleased, borrowed it? kept it, and offered to print it, if Mr. S. would make out a suitable title-page. He promised also to make it a source of profit.— Mr. S. declined any such use of it. Sydney Itigdon, who lias since figured so largely among tho Mormons, was then employed in the editor's printing office he inspected the manuscript, and had an opportunity to copy it. It was returned to the author, who died in 1816. But the influence he had unwittingly originated, did not die with him. There is no doubt that Rigdon took a copy of the Whole or parts of the manuscript-. Jle appeared in Palmyra, N. Y., in 1823, working at his trade. About this time there began to be talk of certain mysterious "plates" being found it: that region. The}' had been discovered, it was saicl, by Joseph .Smith, Jr., in the Lank of tho Eric Canal, near Palmyra. Here Smith and Itigdon conspired to start tiie fraud. Smith was a man of low cunning, vulgar nnd. sensual in his habits, a fitting accomplice for liigdon, both being ready to execute any falsehood. Joe was to be set up as a leader, and to assume the title of Prophet.

This

principally the itrnorant and vicious, and the dishonest, who had no character to lose. They called themselves the Church of the Latter Day Saints, aud organized at Manchester, under Joe Smith, who issued an edition of 1,200 copies of the "Book of Mormon," at Palmyra. Some three or four seemingly respectable men of that region, joined them, which attracted more attention. Smith and his followers selected Kirtland, Ohio, as their "City of Kefuge," by inspiration, as the blas.phcmcr said—•the Lord intending and directing that the temple should be built there. Two hundred composed the first settlement. They called their boolc the "Golden Bible." Smith founded a bond bank, which of course failed, and he found it necessary to move farther West.:— Thither has been the disastrous progress of these miserable impostors, whose subsequent history is known to the world. It would seem as if there was uo form of folly or impiety which some human beings will not embrace. Polygamy, blasphemy, rebellion, murder, are the natural fruits of this wretched conspiracy, which is troubling the whole land.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

of the voters thereof:

And Whereas, The action of a fragment of said Convention, representing as they did a small minority of the voters of the Territor}', repudiates and crushes out the distinctive principle.of the "Nebras-ka-Kansas act," and violates and tramples under foot- the rights aud the sovereignty of the people:

Aiul Whereas, Prom the foregoing statement of facts, it clearly appears that the people have not been left, "free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way," but on the contrary, at every stage in tho anomalous proceedings recited, they have been prevented from so doing:

Be it therefore Resolved, By the Governor and Legislative Assembly of Kansas Territory, That the people of Kansas being opposed to said Constitution, Congress has no rightful power under it to admit said Territory into the Union as a State and the Representatives of said people do hereby, in their name and oa their behalf, solemnly protest against such admission.

Resolved, That such action on the part of Congress would, in the judgment of the members of this Legislative Assembly, be an entire abandonment of the doctrine of non-intervention in the affairs of the Territory, and a substitution in its stead of Congressional intervention in behalf of a minority engaged in a disreputable attempt to defeat the 'will and violate the rights of the majority.

Resolved, That the people of Kansas Territory claim the right, through a legal and fair expression of the will of a majority of her citizens, to form and adopt a Constitution for themselves.

Resolved, That the Governor of this Territory be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the President of the United States, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representative, and to the delegate'in Congress from the Territory.

Whereas, A small minority of the peo-

And Whereas, By reason of the defective provisions of said law, in conncction with the neglect and misconduct-of the authorities charged with the execution of the same, the people living within the remaining nineteen couyti'-A of the Territory were not permitted to return delegates to said Convention, were not recognized in its organization, or in any other sense heard or felt in its deliberations.

At the period of my'earliest recollection men of all classes were dressed in long, broad-tailed coats, with huge pockets, long waiftcoats aud breeches. Hats had low crowns, with broad riins—some eo wide ai to be supported at the sides with ocrds. The stockings of the parson, Tind a" few others, were of siik in summer and worsted in winter those of the people were generally of wool, and of blue and gray mixed. Women dressed in wide bonnets—r sometimes of straw and sometimes of silk the gowns were of silk, muslin, ginghams, &e.—generally close and short-waisted, the breast and shoulders being covered bv a full muslin kerchief. Girls ornamented themselves with a large white vaudvkc.— #-j Tavern haunting, especially in winter when there was little to do, was common, even with respectable fanners.

Marriages were celebrated in the evening, at the house of the bride, with a general gathering of the neighborhood, aud usually wound off by dancing. Everybody went as to a public exhibition, without invitation. Funerals generally drew large processions, which proccded to the grave. Here the minister alwaj-s made an address snited to the occasion.

Can civil war rage, in that unhappy portion of tho country aud mn» not take position 33 to tlic mead of blame and responsibility attaching to each of the belligerents? The thing is out-of the question. No violent struggle

go on in Kansas, whothor

State or Territory, without its being made subject of dispute and agitation throughr out the .country. Parties will be compelled to take position a3 to the merits of the—^ Kansas controversy. It will be forced upon them, no matter how much they may wish to avoid it. Even the struggle of-tho people of little Rhode- Island for constitutional reform in 1S-12 was a subjcct of national discussion. It was the theme of eloquent speeches and of flaming editorials. Democratic meetings everywhere passed resolutions sympathizing with their brcthren in Rhode Island, in their efforts to throw oil"an old charter given the colony by King Charles. Democrats everywhere then contended that it was a gross wrong to compel people to submit to anorganio law which they had no voice in making.— Thoy think so still. They are tired and sick of Kansas, it is true, but their anxiety to get rid of the subject, they will notforgct .that sacred principle which lies at tho root of our institutions—tho right of tho people to govern themselves.

The progress toward the settlement of the Kansas dispute is sure and rapid.— One step was gaiucd when the Black Republicans of the Territory agreed to voto for Delegate to Congress and for members of tho Legislature on tho day fixed by what they had before called tho "bogus Logisla ture*."- Another,.ws. gained when.they. recognized the. legality'of the LccomptOn'jConventiou by* their Legislature, submitting the constitution framed by that body to a voto of the people on the-4th of January.—r If the people do not then'or dtd noi tin.tho iJlst of December manifest' a' wiliingdoss. to accept that constitution, in soma ono of its forms, let a new convention bo called, a n.ew constitution framed and voted on',-and if accepted by the people, the State admitted.
