Hoo«*fcn pr rty srere destroyed, and tke EJiltr* of the Cbt _:i sererely whipped, by tbe mob, under c(U'er of tbe tkiyht. It is impo«ibJe to foresee what is to be the result of tbis singular and outrages riol ti jn of tbe lawa. We fear that tbe party ©j- oted to the Mormous wiii think themselves p?ucd to far beyurl the pale of tbe law as to continue utterly regardless of it, and erei. ially, by the power of numbers, be enabled to cut off the offen ung sect. The lots of their relatives and partizaas will stimulate them to these aots, and fear'al scene* of bloodsbet! may bare already been witnessed, AS yet, oatr intelligence is not very accurate, or full, in regard to tbe measures taken by the officers of tbe county to Ittpp^pss this rebellion., as it may properly be termed, Tfee entire coanty is most probably arra*cd upon one side or the other and in tbis state of things tbe power rT tbe sheriff, and other officers, to suppress the riot, ii perfectly fntile.

It is reported, besides, tbat tbe Judge of the circuit, who attemptesb^o interfere to stop the proceedings, as well asWmc of the officers, were captured by the mob, and placed in durance, either i«i jail, or in charge of «rae of their number, for a good many hours and tbo Lt. Govern* or, wfco resides in that county, was driven from it. Ia this state of things, we apprehend^ the pvopeg course would have been for the authorities tofcave fepresented the case to the Executive, for hi* interposition but we have not learned whether tbey hare done ao. The facts are, nemad Out 0.»»wr »«h»aM, without delay, if he has not done it already, act upon them. He is bound to see tbat the laws are executed against all offender*. The^otrer of the cwmty not being available in this case—for almost ail are concerned in the insurrection—the Governor should issue his Proclamation calling out the Militia of the neighboring counties, to enforce the laws, nnd to quell the riot. He should give the requisite orders to the officers for that purpose and do it tvitb all alacrity. It is very evident, that unless some effective measures are adopted by him in this emergency, the lives of matty valuable citizens will be sacrificed and the state fuffer an irretrievable injury. A rancorous, deadly hostility has long existed between the parties, and unless tbe firmness and prudence of tbe Governor should be equal to the crisis, and the offending party be severely punished* we roust expect to hear^of the continual recurrence of such disgraceful proceed-

We have nothing to do with the original causes of the quarrel. There may be many worthless and intolerable memt^rs of the obnoxious sect but the laws are equal to the punishment of all those who are guilty of violating them. It docs not appear that they were appealed to at all, prior to this conteft. The Mormons are as much protected in their religion, their property and persons, as any other denomination or class of men. We think they actcd perfectly right in offering tbo resistance which they did, and thus far they have thu sympathy of this part of the community.

The exposition which we hsve copied on tke preceding page makes its appearancc in a form so imposiug as to lay it upon us as a duty to copy it for the information of btir readers. It is as much tbe act of tbe President himself as if it bore his signature.

DUAKK,

F'ROM THE WASHINGTON ULOBJJ. WILLIAM J. DUAXE, ESQ.

The letter from this gentleman loan unknown correspondent in Kentucky, is going the rounds of the Bank papers. This wanton and unprovoked attack upon the integrity, discretion and honor of the President and the Cabinet, must surprise those who do not know the man, and are unacquainted with the ground assumed by him in Washington. For reasons which will hereafter appear,it excites no surprise with us.

Hero follows Mr. Duanc's letter to his friend in Kentucky which we have already published.] RE MARKS.

Mr, Duane professes, as he constantly has done heretofore, th*t he is opposed to the Bank of thc United States. It was «nstitu as a member of tile Cabinet, At the time that selection took place, the subject of a removal of the deposits was under discussion in the country and in the cabinet. At the commencement of Congress then nend|ng, the President and Secretary of the Treasury had expressed a distrust of the n?*'

T°TIFt.,,eH,,,c

consented ,„

sideration and undccided. After the opinion of the House was expressed, (he subject continued to be agitaed in the newspapers, and we are informed that a memorial praying for their removal was circulated in Philadelphia, to which many signatures were obtained, and I it is scarcely possible that Mr. Duane could have been unaPp,i2edofit before he came (o Washington*

He agieed (o accept (he Department, therefore, and actually went into it, with a perfect knowledge that this subject wa« in agitation.

On coming into office, he found that (he 1 resident had already required, from (he members of his Cabinet, written opinions upon the subject (hat three members, vizin'

and himself

These, of course^ fcotild not have been published without direbt information and authority (Vom the President.

Whether, under these circumstances, Mr. Dva** will, or will ».ot feel himself called |«pon to present to the Public his own views of his own case we cannot know until we see. From his long silence, hitherto, it is presomed that he had no intention of presenting himself to the public as the expositor of grievances personal to himself. It must be quite apparent to every one who has observed this modesty and forbearance in him, that the extract of the letter to his friend in Kentucky was not designed by him for publication. lt hns crept out accidentally. Finding it copied by every other journal, we also copied it though bad it fallen into our hands, we could not have published it without his explicit aonsent. But* having got itito print, the letter has called forth the bull of proscription, which bas been hitherto suspended, merely, as if to do* ter Mr. D. flfom disclosures which tbe public bad rather expected from his honest and frank character.

this article leaves no doubt of the

vindictiveness of his confidential advisers (*.ve do not moan his Cabinet,) towards his lute Secretary of the Treasufy.

As to the old story of tbe hundred thousand dollars used for defending the Bank .from the machinations of corrupt men against it, thc reiteration of it comes with an ill grace from those who have employed tho national funds^ by half a million of dollar? at a clip, in lending it to the pet Banks, to enable them—to do what? lo pay the requisitions of the Government upon them? Not at all bnt to enable them to meet their own engagements with their creditors!— Whilst thus making ducks and drakes of the people's money, it is a capital joke to seo the Administration holding up its hands in holy horror at the proprietors of a Bank, through their directors, making use of their own money to vindicate It from a wicked conspiracy against its rights and Character!

Another fnember of the Cabinet, who gave no written opinion, although somewhat disinclined to thc measure, assured thc President of his support if resolved on by him.

This wa$ the state of things when Mr.

Duane took charge of the Treasury 1)1" parfment. Not a doubt was entertained, we believe, but that he was already with the majority in opinion, and would proceed, in convenient time, to execute a measure #hich was deemed essential to the interests of the country.

While on his northern tour, the President communicated to Mr. Duane, by lettie, bis deliberate opinion upon the subject, not in a spirit of dictation but of kindness. From Mr. D.'s newness in office, it was supposed, we presume, that he would

of responsibility in

important

a measure, and

this the President was desirous to diminish as far as expression of decided convicUons

could do it. A few day* after hfs reetfri?, (he President was astonished ai being informed, in STi n. respectfiir, that Mr. Duane differed with him in opia-

l4^.~

and would not, with His existing impressions, remove the deposits, but promptly intimated that he w*ould not continue in a situation to embarrass his measures. ... -A free interchange of opinions then took place between him and the President, and, as in ca%* of removal, it would be necessary to ascertain beforehand from the principal State Banks, on what terms they would receive the deposits, it was ma taally agreed that a filial decision should be postponed until an

agent

should be

sent to obtain this information, Mr. Duane maintaining^that, although his present impressions were adverse to the measure, his mind was open to conviction.

In drafting instructions for the agent, however, he inserted a sentence declaring (hat there was then no sufficient cause for removing the deposits, but that the information was wanted to enable the government to act if any cause should thereafter arts*.

This palpable decision of the qtfestion beforehand, which would have made the mission of the agent nugatory and ridiculous^ drew frdm the President a letter, in which he desired to know whether Mr. Duane was already determined not to ex-* ecute the measure, if, after full inquiry and ndvisement with his Cabinet, the Pre sident should be of opinion that it ought to be done.

In reply to this let lei*, Mr. Dnatte explained his object in so wording the in structions, declared that his mind was still open to conviction, and pledgeo* himself, in the most explicit term3, that, "if, after receiving the information and hearing the discussion, he should not consider it his duty, as the responsible agent of the law, to carry into effect the decision the President might then make, he would, from respcct for the President and himself, afford the President mi opportunity to schcl a successor whose views might accord zcith his oicrt on the important matter in contemplation."

As if his sense of honor and propHdty on this point, were not satisfied with such a pledge, he again, in the same letter, explicitly promised, "that when thc moment for decision, after inquiry, and discussion, shall arrive, he would concur with the Presi

This was about thc 22d of July, few days afterwards, the Agent started on his mission to the State Banks, whence he returned and tnade report about tho first of September. In the mean time, thc Report of the Government Directors had been received, disclosing the startling fact that all the funds of the Bank had been placed at the disposition of Mr. Biddle for electioneering purposes that more than a hundred thousand dollars had been used in that way and that thc Board of Directors had solemnly resolved, after warning and discussing, to proceed iu Ihc .-•nmc career*

Finding there was no difficulty in making arrangements with (he State Banks, thc President^ conik^d *0 rii5 enfithet, by the paper which has aheady gone to (he public.

What was Mr. Dunne's course? Did he concur with (he president* No. Did he "afford thc President an opportunity to se•i ,successor whose views might occur with his own on the important matter in contemplation?" Not at all. He woold neither "concur" nor "r tire

However, instead of giving a prompt decision when the President's final opinion was announced, he held out the idea that his mind was yet open that the paper pre

There papers were not only inaccurate in (heir contents, but evinced a disrespect for the president, and a total alienation of fcelnw. which would have rendered any further association between the President and oecretary at once unpleasant and improper.

Here, then, was Secretary of the I reastiry who had given a solemn pledge, twice, and emphatically repeated, which he refused to redeem. Not content with thwarting (he wishes ofthe man to whom he owed his elevation, he threatened him with rudeness and disrespect. He was determined to force a dismissal, that he might throw himself into (he hands oi the Bank Party, to be used as a weapon gainst one who had invited him to a hieh and honorable trust: Was this ingenious, frank, liberal, gentlemanly, of just?

Let us not be misunderstood. We maintain the right of the President to dismis* any executive officer for refusing to do what the chief Magistrate may believe it his duty to do. In this case) if Mr. Duane had not given the written pledge, and had not shown any of his bad feelings, the President might have dismissed him, nnd probably would. But that point 4OP8

Of the motives which governed Mr. Dunne's strange conduct in\Vashingtor,we have said nothing. The motive which now induccs him to write vindictive letters for publication is palpable enough. It is to act as the pioneer of the Bank party and Nullificrsin an attack upon the Presiident at the approaching session of Congtess.

mcnt. f-1 From these facts, the Bank party will perceive that thc case is a little different from what they have supposed. To reach, the president,they frill be obliged to prove, not that he has no powtr over the deppsitsf but that he has no right to dismiss a Secretary for falsifying his written pledges and, using insulting language towards the Chief Magistrate, whom it is his duty to treat with respect. They must not orily prove# that thc President lm* no right to dischnigd from his councils, men, on whose word he cannot rely, and whose feelings and opinions arc with his worst enemies: but that he cannot remove a Secretaiy whom he himself has made, who has not had the confirmation of the Senate, whose nomination to that body depends on his will, and whose commission would have expired at the close of the next session of Congress.

Long ago we might have cut short thft arguments of he Bank paper by this exposition. But as it niu-t annihilate all that is left of the affected candor, and assumed humility of thc late Sect etary as nodoubfc was entertained that thc country would triumphantly sustain the administration in the groat rr easure, and as there was no desire here to give unnecessary pain, we were disposed (o be silent. But when h«t comes oclore (he country and charges the President and his rabinct with being "unwise, vindictive, arbitrary and unjust," and says, "1 was removed for an honest discharge of my duly," it becomes nccessatr^ that truth shall be told and justice donel
