THEE A G L E H. L. PHILLIPS,) W. G. SPENCERS Ed ' w ‘ Pbo “ lcto “ DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 4, isST. Democratic Convention. Remember Democrats that the Mass Convention will assemble in obedience to the call of the Central Committee, at the Court House on to-morrow, the Sth inst., at one o’clock P. M. There is important business to transact. Delegates are to be appointed to attend the State Convention to be holden at Indianapolis on the Bth day of January next, for the purpose of putting in nomination candidates to fill the various offices of State at the ensuing annual election.— A Central Committee is to be appointed for the ensuing year; and other business will be transacted for the interest of the Democratic party. Let us have a general attendance of Democrats. Commissioner’s Court. The December Session of the Board of County Commissioners will commence on Monday next. Congress. On Monday next the first session of the 35th Congress will assemble at Washington, and we shall in a short time be able to lay before our readers, the first Annual Message of Mr. Buchanan, which will settle the question as to the course of his administrator. Constitutional Currency. We take the following extract from Judge Huntington’s charge to the Grand Jury of the District Court of the United States for the State of Indiana. The right of the States, either directly or indirectly to issue paper money is becoming questioned, and will, doubtless, soon be settled by the the Suoreme Court of the United States, the Judge says. By the Constitution of the United States, ‘no State has the right to coin money, or emit bills of credit.’ This great and important power the State: surrendered to the General Government when the Constitution was adopted.— About the first clause of this provision there never was any room for cavil or construction—it was a plain inhibition upon the States to coin money and fix the standard of value, and I think it extremely doubtful if for the first time the question were now submitted to the Supreme Courtl of the United States, whether the States were not prohibited from issuing or authorizing the issue of bank notes to circulate as money, it would now be held that it was intended by the framers of the Constitution that Congress should have the sole control over tiie currency of the country, and that ‘bills of credit’ meant nothing more nor less than bank or other notes issued and intended to circulate as money.

A Party lor the Haiti Times, One of the most recherche parties oi the season ‘‘came off” last evening at the residence of a retired merchant in S street, which was eminently in keeping with the times. 2V st»e non to the invited was for the ladies to appear draped in calico and the gentlemen in their summer coats, and most faithfully did each sex carry out their portion of the programme, and a more tastefully arrayed party of fair demoiselles rarely meets the eye than was here congregated. Upon their heads were rosettes and pendants of the varied hued productsuf Lowell, Manchester and Providence. At early evening dancing was commenced, beneath the light of one burner in each chandelier to the music of the piano, at which the ladies alternated, and was kept up with unabated vigor, relieved by occasional charade performances, till supper time; and here the genius of the host in conforming to the times added mirth to the already happy party. The spacious dining room was thrown open and displayed a table, set forth, not with costly plate, but the fruits of the harvest, instead. In the center, upon an inverted tin pail, nicely draped, stood a golden pumpkin, from whose eyes and nose and mouth beamed forth a mellow light, relieved by the ‘dips’ w hich adorned the corners. Lasses gingerbread yielded their toothsome stores, and Cochituate ale dispensed from stone pitchers of the true grandmama pattern, in a mug of delf ware, enhanced the relish for renewed Terpsichorean agility.—Boston Transcrip. A IIAPPr Cot pi.b.— I was married for my money. That was ten years ago, and they have been ten years of purgatory. — I have had bad hick as a wife, for my husband and 1 have scracely one taste in common. He wishes to live iu the country, which I hate. I like the thermoueat seventy-five degrees, which he hates. He likes the children brought up at home instead of at school, which I hate. I like t.iusic, and want to go to concerts, which fie hates. He likes roast pork, which I hate. There is hut one thing we both like, and that, is what we cannot both have though we arc always tfji'ig for it- the Lis'. irurd.

■From the California Herald. The Utah Prophets Rampant. From a file of tho Desert News— we extract the following choice morceaux from the sermons of the Porphcts, from which it will be seen that treason and resitance ; to the United States authorities is openly ; counseled. i THE TIME FOR A SKPERATION AT HAND. It would be hard for the people to ex--1 plain the idea that the Government of the United States is shutting down the gate upon us, for it is too visible; and this is what hastens the work of the Lord, which you arc praying for every day. Ido not believe that there is a man or woman here, who prays at all, but what prays every day for the Lord to hasten his work. Now take care, for if he does, | may be you will not be prepared to meet ■ it. The time must come when there will I be a seperation between this kingdom and the kingdom ol this world, even in every ’ point of view. The time must come when this kingdom must be free and independent from all other kingdoms. Are you prepared to have the thread cut to-day? —Brigham Young. THE ENTRANCE OF Tl.’E ARMY A CASUS BELLI. | Now let me tell you one thing—l shall! take it as a witness that God designs to cut the thread between us and the world, when an army undertakes to make their appearance in this Territory to chastise me or to destroy my life from the earth. I lay it down that right is or at least should be might with Hi-aven, with its servanls, and with all its people on the earth. As for the rest, we will wait a littte while to to see; but I shall take a hostile move- [ ment by our enemies as an evidence that it is time lor the thread to be cut. 1| think that we will find three hundred who will lap water, and we will whip out the j Midianites. Br. Heber said that he would turn out his women and they| would whip them. I ask no odds of the wicked, the best way they can fix it.— Brigham Young. DIVISION OF THE EXPECTED BOOTY.

Will we have manna? Yes. The United States have 700 wagons loaded with about two tons to each wagon with all kinds of things, and then 7,000 head of cattle, and there is said to be 2,500 troops with this and that and the other, that is all right. Suppose the troops don’t get there, but all these goods and cattle come: well, that would be a mighty help to us that would clothe up the boys and girls and make them comfortable, and then re- I member, there is fifteen months’ provi- . sions besides. lam only talking about this. Suppose it extends on for four or 1 five years and they send 100,000 troops' and provisions and goods in proportion I and everything, else got here aud they did not.— Heber C. Kimball. NO GOVERNOR BUT BRIGHAM FOR THE MORMONS. You call us fools, but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this churtch or not, when you will prize Bro. Joseph'smith as the Propet of the living God and look upon him as a God, and also upon Brigham Young, our Governor in the Territory of Deseret. Well, I will say there is no other man except it is his successor in the priesthood that will ever rule over me as a Governor [Voices all over the congregation, ‘Amen.’] A man not holding the priesthood may come here in the ca-1 pacity of a Governor, if he pleases, and will act properly in the line of his office; but if lie does not magnify wholesome Jaws we will teach him his duty. Sending a man here with 2,500 troops! —they have no design in God Almighty’s world only to raise a rookery with people and bring us into difficulty with the United States, and when they come here the first dab will be to take Brother Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball and others, and they will slay us, that is their design, and if we will not yield to their meanness, they will say we have ! mutinized against the President of the J United States, and then they will put us I under martial law and massacre this peo- 1 pie. That has been the design of the ; men that have been here. [Voices in the i stand, ‘They can’t come it.’] No, they ; can’t come it.— Heber C. Kimball. A NEW INTERPRETATION OF VOX POPULI, diC. I When we talk about the Constitution of the United States, we are sometimes apt to quote ‘Vox Populi, vox Die;’ that is, ‘the voice of the people is the voice of God;’but in some places they ought to say Vox Populi, vex Diaboli; that is, the voice of the people is the voice of the I Devil. We are. moved by a higher law. They ! talk sometimes about a higher law in the States. Greely is a great man to talk about a higher law, which means, with him, stealing niggers.— John Taylor. AN BAST VICTORY PREDICTED. The day is to come when one shall chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to 1 flight. When that day comes the Lord 1 will make the enemies cf his people flee 1 as if there, were thousands after them|when ’ there is only one, and that is the way that God will deal with our enemies.— J The day of God Almighty is at hand, I when he will show forth his power, and when he will deliver his people from all their enemies.— Heber V. Kimball. JUST GO AHEAD AND BURST YOUR BOILER. There have been men and woman and ; children enough, who have dieti through * the oppression and tyranny ofoureaei mies, to damn any nation under heaven, ' and now a nation of 25,000,000 of people must exercise its wealth in violation of its own principles, and the rights guaranteed !>•. the blued of their fathers blood that

is more sacred than their own heart springs—and this they are doing to crush down a little handful who dwell in the midst of these mountains, and who dare jio worship God as they please, and who | dare sing, pray, preach, think and act as they please. All I have to say is, just go ahead end burst your boiler. [Voice: ‘They will.’] This is the way the thing shapes itself >n my mind; and, if I were | not afraid to die, I would fight as long as [ i there is finger left; yes, if I were not afraid [ to die, I would fight till there was not as | much left of me as there was of the Kilkenny cats. Just look at him; view his | conduct towards this people; besides his | being my uncle, he has acted most shamefully mean. When I told my uncle 1 was afraid, he only laughed at me; but I now tell you that, if I were not such « well known coward, I would die like a man of war. The very idea that a man i has been awed down by the bayonet is something that I cannot stand. It will do very well for the Emperor of France, and it may do for Autocrat of Russia, but it don’t do for free-born men; and if asked which we will prefer—slavery or death—we should be very apt to answer in tha language of a Roman Senator, if we bad any voice in this matter, who when this I question was once put in the days of Ju- [ lias Caesar and Pompey, promptly answered, ‘We prefer death to slavery.’— George *4. Smith.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT COURTING DESTRUCTION. Instead of wishing injuries to come on them, my heart is p.iined for them when I behold their situation. They are drunk, not with strong drink but with their own anger and rage and the spirit of the enemy which they have received. They are as wild as California horses. When a lasso is thrown on them they will run madly against a fence or a stone wall, or over a person or anything; they are frantic and would break their own necks. It is just so with the inhabitants of the earth, and especially so with our Government; and they are hastening with all possible speed, with the lariout around their necks, to jump the precipice and destroy themselves.— Brigham Young.

BRIGHAM WILL HOLD THE GOVERNMENT AS LONG AS HE LIKES. Do you wonder that they are angry? Five years ago 1 told them that I should be Governor as long as the Lord wanted me to be, and that all hell could not remove me. They have tried during those five years to remove me, and I have had to appoint a Secretary for this Territory three times in that period, for the ones appointed by the President absconded from the Territory. And the prospect now is that I shall have to be the Governor, that I shall have to preside over the ■ Legislature, and that Captain Hooper, whom I appointed Secretary, will have tocontinuein that office. -Brigham Young. X-S“A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: The minimum price of public lands has I been at last reached, and it is as low as I one cent an acre. The opposition jour- i nals undertook some months ago to cen sure the Secretary of War for suffering; to Fort Snelling reservation, in Minneso- I ta. to be sold at private sale for ninety thousand dollars, or over twelve dollars J an acre. It was sold at private sale because the agents, Messrs. Henkell and Eastman, were notified that if offered at public sale it would bring but very little, I and would fall into the hands of a corpor- j ation of speculators at a merely nominal price. But the Fort Ripley reservation in Minnesota has been sold, after due advertisement, at public sale, to the highest bidder. The result was a combination on the part of bidders, and the sacrifice of, these valuable lands to a paity of speculators It is remarkable that they were so courteous to Uncle Sam as not to suf- I far the price to go below a penny an acre. J In the progress of the sale the prices rose I towards a quaster of a dollar, which was 1 the maximum price obtained in the dis--1 position of an important raservation, em- : bracing 75,000 acres. | There has appeared a statement from ' an important source in relation to the vai- ) ue of the Fort Snelling reservation, which shows conclusively that it was sold for as , much as it was worth, and more than it would bring at this time, either at pub- ■ lie or private sale. Mexico.—Mexico is one of the anomalies among civilized governments. It I seems to have been created to show how ' fickle and unstable a popular government may become debased an ignorant, and a military power is always at hand to carry I ambitious designs into execution. A ! Congress has just framed a more liberal constitution, which was inaugurated recently with a great deal of ceremony and which it was believed would produce 1 some stability in the government by restoring order, seperating the functions of ' the officers of the government by and more 1 clearly defining the rights of the people. These hopes, however, largely indulged, have been of short duration. The new ' constitution has been suspened by the first Congress which assembled under it, , and Commonfort, the President the exe--1 cutive power or not, to enable him to ex- ! ecute the laws, time will determine. The country was in a state of confusion, and anarchy prevailed. But this is the inherent vice of Mexico under any governmen- ' tai rule, and we doubt, even witn the ad- ■ ditional vigor which these extraordinary powers confer upon the executive, whethinsurrection will be more easily quelled, or military ambition be checked.

; Quaker lady, residing in Philai delphia, was recently visited by a little . girl who said her father was sick and was > not expected to live, and that she and the i rest of a large family that was dependant i upon him for support, were in a state of destitution. She begged that the lady would give her sufficient money at least to purchase the medicines which had been ■ prescribed for her father, and which might j possibly save his life. The kind-hearted Quakeress gave her SB, and the little girl with tears of thankfullness murmured her gratitude and departed. A few days alter she returned with a countenance more wan and sorrow striken than before, to tel! her benefactress that her father was dead; all the money which she had received had been expended for a coffin and shroud, and she bad nothing left to [defray the further expenses of her father’s funeral. The generous lady gave her $lO, and went among her friends and collected SB, more for her, and then went with her to her wretched abode where she j found tha family wringing their hands filtering loud lamentations over the body of a man which lay in a coffin placed on two chairs in the center of the room. The lady, who was unused to such scenes of woe, and was greatly affected Iby what she saw, hurriedly draw forth her purse, gave a portion of its contents to the little girl, with a promise of future assistance, and hastily left the room.— When she reached the foot of the crazy stairs, which she had ascended to the squalid apartment above, she discovered that she had forgotten her purse. She went up again immediately, and as noiselessly as possible that she might not disturb the sacred grief of the sorrow-strick-en family. What was her surprise and horror on entering the room to perceive the corpse sitting upright in its shroud, eagerly’ counting the gold which she had left behiad her, and announcing the result in tones which sounded more like those of robust health than the sepulchral accents of an inmate almost of the tombs. She contemplated for a moment this phase of humanity, and then departed as noiselessly as she had returned.— Boston Post

Man’s Inhumanity to Man.

Clergymen are, no doubt, as they should be, generally good men. Here is one who is not, but an agent of the Devil in disguise. The Chicago Press says: An excellent and worthy man, a mechanic, whose own hard hands had laid the foundation of his moderate fortune, had raised the sum of $3,000 on securities, even in the present depressed condition of prices, worth three times that sum. The security given was in a form to cut off all redemtion. The note matured in an evil hour, the present crisis, when the debtor found himself unable to meet his obligations His creditor, a Connecticut clergyman, understood to be seeking a location both as a preacher and a money lender in this West of ours where as he has said, ‘it pays better,’ was in the city. He was importuned to extend the note, if only for a short time. He was offered 4 per cent, a month. ‘Will do it for one hundr per cent, per annum,’ was the rejoinder. Finally, the reverend creditor agreed to receive the moderate interest of sixtysix per cent, per cent as his ultimatum, and on declining this offer, the property, worth ten thousand dollars, was sent to the auction block, and sold to the creditor for barely the face of the note, a little upwards of three thousand dollars. Thus a worthy, hard-working mechanic, was beggared to satisfy the inhuman greed of a Christian minister of the same denomination, aud member of the same Christian faith with himself.

Undue Importations.—Somebody said we think it was Mr. Calhoun, that it required a great intellect to understand and illustrate the tariff question. Our correspondents, however, are men of experience and learning and bring much reflection to support their respective views. Those who advocate a high protective tariff, however, and who charge excessive importations upon the system of low duties. make some transparent mistakes.— One fact in history seems to have been overlooked by this clkss of thinkers; and that is, the enormous amount of importations under the compromise tariff' of 1833, in 1835-36, while Che duties of Chat tariff were still at the highest. The fact is the whole business of tariff will be best regulated by a sound currency. It is our paper money whichmainly setseverybody wild with speculation—that, and the consequent and sure advance of labor and produce, fills every channel of trade with schemers who look only to present gains for themselves, leaving the certain future contraction to be borne by those who can least afford it. If we could have a currency of gold and silver, and allow no bank notes under S2O or SSO, this would go for to make economy a necessity, and to protect industry and manufactures from those expansions and collapses which first lift them up to the skies, only to dash them down to the earth, a mass ol undistinguishable ruins— Philadelphia Press. The Monet that Increases the Fastest. —A New York banker once asked a young lady of that city, what kind of money she liked best. •Ma*,ri -money; she replied. •What interest does it bring?’ asked the banker. ‘lf properly invested,’ replied the damsel, 'it will about double the stuck every two years.’ The weather is warm and pleasant.

Financial Agricultural an Hominem —Some three days ago, a distinguished military gentleman of this city was called upon by a gentleman for whom he had endorsed, saying that be could not meet the note as it was due in one of the city banks the next day. Our military friend began to ‘flax around,’ went to the bank, told the Cashier how he was situated, and offered notes on thirty and sixty days for the payment. The Cashier told him to come again when he would meet the President. Our military friend went on the time appointed, saw the President explained matters, and the President taking him by the the button hole, volunteered advice to the following effect: •Mr. , you should never put your endorsement on a note unless you are sure of its being paid at the time agreed.’ Mr. said nothing, but when on Wednesday, the city banks hads suspended, he happened to meet the President, took him by the button hole, and addressed him as follows: ‘Mr , I want to give you a little advice. Never put your name on a note unless you are sure it will be paid at the time agreed.— I have noticed u great many notes floating about with your name upon them, but they were all refused payment!’ The emotion of the President overpowered him.— Worcester Bag State.

The Murder of Vincent in New I'orfc. On Thursday night an Italian named Francis Vincent, a wholesale and retail dealer in wines and liquors, at No. 15 William street, New York, was murdered and robbed on his own premises. Shortly after 10 o’clock a party of four ‘half sailor’ looking men, and apparently Spaniards, entered Mr. Vincent’s place, and seating themselves at a table, called for drinks. Mr. Vincent appeared to be acquainted with the parties, and after serving them took a seat among them. An old gentleman named Hilton, one of the old soldiers of the war of 1812, who was present, was invited to join the party, and he did so. Several rounds of drinks were had, and the greatest good feeling seemed to prevail. But suddenly, and evidently by concert the four visitors rose to their feet and surrounded Mr. Vincent, who fell almost instantly heavily to the floor, bleeding profusely from about the region of the heart. The old soldier Hilton was next attacked. He pleaded foi his life, and the villains permitted him to escape without inflicting upon him any other injury than a severe blow on the head, which stunned him for the time. More than s3llO in gold and bank bills I were found in the pockets of the murdered man, but his gold watch was broken from its chain and carried away by the murderers —from which it would seem that his life was taken for purposes of robbery. Mr. Vincent was about fifty years of age, and was father-in-law of Joseph Walters the extensive and well known brewer in Bushwiek. Deleaves behind a wife and several children. He was stabbed in four places, all in the heart, and any one of which would have proved fatal.— Several persons were arrested on suspicion merely, but as yet there is no substantial evidence against any of them, but by reference to the telegraphic news it will be seen that the gang is yetatlarge, and committing further out rages.— Cin. Com. The Washington Union Taken to Task.—The Chicago Times of the 22d inst. contains an article justly denouncing the Washington i. nion for the advocacy of Federal doctrines, with regard to the powers of Congress over slavery in the States.

Among other things, the Union dedares that ‘all State laws, whether organic or otherwise, which prohibit the citizen of one State from settling in another, and bringing his slave property with him, and most especial}* declaring it forfeited are direct violations of the original intentions of the framers of the government.' The Times declares that the article of the Union, is *a bold and infamous attempt to destroy the Democratic party, by proclaiming doctrines utterly hostile to the Democratic platform, and destructive of Stale sovereignty and National Union.’ The K vnsas policy of Guv. Walker.The Washinton correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: ‘The Administration do not hesitate to openly endorse the Kansas policy of Gov. Walker. His fearless action from the beginning, and especially with respect to the infamous election frauds, has already commended him to the hearty approval of censervative and fair men of the every section of the Union. It is not known from any reliable source, or indeed any source, at all, that he has favored.or opposed the Constitution and schedule recently framed by the Constitutional Convention of Kansas. Pa, didn’t you whip me for biting Tommy?’ ‘Yes, my child, for you hurt him verymuch.’ ‘Well, then. Pa, you ought to whip mamma’s music teacher, too; for he bit her yesterday right in the month; and I know it hurt her, because §he put her arms around his neck and tried to choke him!’ Moffat s Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
