hole, and, w_it__li his delicate auditory or-
gans,;ca,ught,the greater part of the con-
versation between Antonio and the monk.
Before F-agher Silvestro could fairly open
the door, Teodoro had, disappeared and
ivas hastening to his powerful patron, the
apothecary Fumaroli, for the purpose of
disclosing his secret, and of devising with
that worthy a plan for satisfying his thirst
both for revenge and for gain. Fum_aro-
ii listened eagerly to Teodoro’s narration,
and qefore it was completed, a plan was
matured in the apothccary’s head, where-
by he hoped in two waysto benefit the
holy College of Jesuits, and at the same
time to advance his own interests. In the
first place, he would charm the treasure
rejected by the Jesuits back into their
hands, (after having secured, however, 8
handsome per centage for himself and his
assistant ;) and secondly, he would hum-
ble Father Silvestro, and through him, the
whole Order of Dominicans so hated by
the Jesuits. Fumaroli remained not long
at home, but repaired to the Collegio Ro-
mano, and appeared before Father Grego-
rio. Here, however, he found that all his
trouble was needless, and that his cunning
plans had been anticipated by the more
‘crafty head of the Jesuits. The fruit of
this confidential interview was an order
issued by the city government to impris-
on Antonio, on the charge of having sto-
len the golden treasure -from Teodoro
Pistrelli. Unwearied in his zeal to ruin
others and enrich himself, Fumaroli pro-
ceeded from the College of the Jesuits to
the Vatican, where he often spent the
evening in the Pope's cabinet, with a few
other confidents, sometimes-'-indeed usu-
ally—in card playing. It is said atRome,
that the Holy Father carries his partiality
for this unworthy favorite to such an ex-
tent as to honor the players with his exal-
ted presence, although no one ventures to
assert that he ever takes a hand himself.

‘ VVhen Fumaroli now entered the cabinet,

and found the Pope in a favorable mood
for h.is purposes, he failed not to avail
himself of it. He descrjizbed, in his usual

'eoarse,but at the same time artful manner,

Silvestro”s visit _to the Jesuit Gregorio,
(which the latter ;had himself related to
him, with perhapssome necessary embel-
lishments,) and represented the.conduct of
the Dominican in such a "light that the
Pope was inflamed with the most violent
wrath, and swore by the keys of St. ‘Peter,
that Silvestro should pay dearly for his
shameful attempt to disgrace the Order of
Jesuits, who deserved so well both of
Church and State. The Holy Fatherlaid
the matterso ideeplyto heart, a-nd become
so much excited, that‘ he was seized the
following night with a sudden and violent
illness,.and his lifewas for some days af-
ter in real danger, until at length the uni-
ted cares of the physician .an.d.epothecary
partially restored him.

PEACE OR VVAR.

VVe3 have no particle of apprehension
that Mr. Polk and his advisers intend to
go to .war——far from it. We only see that
they are gasconading on the subject of
Oregon,_ purely for political effect at home
in sucha way that they may unwarily get
into a position where they will have no
alternative but personal disgrace or Na-
tionalW’-ar, and weak, unprincipled men
will always choose the'latter. \Vhat we
desire is to-fix public attention on their
movementsso as to keep them out of this
dilemma. _ j _

When the Baltimore Convention which
nominated Polk resolved that ‘our right to
the w/zole‘ of Oregon is-clear ‘and indisputa-
ble; and that the re Annexation -of Texas
and re Occupation of Oregon, are great
National objects, to be accomplished as
speedily as possible, &c. nothing at all
was meant by it but to catch votes. Mr.
Polk preached this talk, somewhat modi-
fied, in his Inaugural Address, because he
felt under a party obligation to do so, in
view of what’-had-been resolved at Balti-
more. This called out the British Minis-
try, in a counter statement; and we do
not believe they stopped, or will long
stop, at mere talk. By the time Congress
shall have resolved to take possession of
all Oregon, we presume it will be found
to contain something more to take than
we bargained for.

But there is a great deal yet to be done
this side of war. Congress may resolve
that Oregon is ours, and we will have it.
but that is not war. Parliament will coun-
ter resolve that a part of it is theirs, and
they will keep it—-still there is no war.——
Congress may establish a Mail route ‘over
the Rocky Mountains, extend thejnrisdic-
tion of Iowa or Nebraska over our People
in Oregon, and there is yet nothing like
War. Our Government rriay give formal
notice of intention to close the Joint Oc-
cupatiou at the end of the specified twelve
months: what of it’! Unwise this surely
would be, but in strict accordance with
the treaty: Great Britain is as likely to do
it as we; and indeed after whathas passed
we think her likelygto take the lead in it.
.lVe may fool away any amount of money
in establishing posts on the route to the
Columb-ia-, send. out dragoons by the" regi-
ment, and‘ even march an army into Ore-
gon; there is no war in all this. Great
Britain may sendanother arm-y there if
she chooses. But the moment we resolve
toextend our‘j§urisdiction over all Oregon
and seriously undertake to _sl1bjt‘ct the
British subjects? therein to our authority-
then we are on the brink of VVar, and ‘the
chances are ten to one that it will follow.
But we do not yet believe that Congress

will so provoke a needless war.

True, the heads of our rulers have been
a little turned by their. luck in regard to
Texas. ‘You predi'ct*wa‘r,’- say their 01'-
gans, ‘but see how peaceably‘ it is done!’
Well sirs, if a revolution should break out
in England just as. you fasten your clutch
on Oregon, and the-- Queen b’e- dethroned,
and the Government deprived alike of

money and credi-t,'you may get all Ore- e"

goo as easy as you' did‘ Texas; If you

T/ze .Morm0ns.-—C0l- Warren. Judge
Purple, and Mr. Bra'yma_n,Attorney forpthe
State, recently paid a visit to Nauvoo, and
while on_their_rou"te, thither theydescned
a force of about two hundred Mormons
fully artned,—which was a direct violation
of orders previously issued by Gen. _Har-
din. Col. Warren,’ feeling that _he could
not let such a thing as this, conscientious-
ly with his duty, pass, unnoticed, invited
Brigham Young, and some of the leading
authorities to a conference, the results of
which are thus detailed in the Quincy
Whig :—-He (Col. Warren) informed them
that the armed men on the prairie was
contrary to orders-, and wanted to know
what it meant. To this Young gave no

that it was theirintention to submit to no
more arrests, and ridiculed the Court, the
Judge, the Attorney of the State, who
were present, and in substance, defied the
power of the State. After him, Elder
Taylor. another of the twelve, got up and
abused the Governor, State officers, &c.
Brigham Young again got up, and said he
was not very‘good at an apology, but that
they must. not mind what E_lder Taylor
said; that he was always making trouble,
(Sac. Col. Warren told fthem in a plain
talk what he thought of their conduct.and
that, as an officer, he should do his duty
and carry out the law. VVhile this was go-
ing on, a Deputyiiof the United States
Marshall arrived, with a detachment ofthe
Quincy Rifles, with a writ for Brigham
Young, charged fwith counterfeiting the
coin ofthe United States. This becoming
known in the city the excitement wastre-
mendous; the Mormons assembled in
large crowds, and a disposition was man-
ifested by them to resist all attempts to
arrest any person in Nauvoo. After a con-
sultation with the ofiicer, by Judge Pur

ple and others, it was deemed advisable to
postponelhe execution of the writ at the
time, for the personal safety of all con
cerned.

A RICH Lsexcv.--Col. George Mason, of
Virginia,made the following remarks in his‘,
will, which ought to be considered a legacy to}
the nation: '

“l reccommend to my sons, from my!
own experience in life, to prefer the hap-
piness ofindependence and a private stu-
tiou to the trouble and vexations ofpuhlic
business; but if either their own inclina-
tions, or the necessity of the time-s,should
engage them in public affairs,I charge
them, on a father s blessing, never to let
the motives of private interest or ambi-
tion induce them to betray, nor the ter-
rors of poverty and disgrace, or of death,
d tor them from asserting the liberty of
their country, and eudeavoring to transmit
to their posterity, those sacred rights to
which themselves were born.”

 

.Mut/ny.—VVe learn by a letter in tl;e
New London News, that the bark Oscar,
of Sag Harbor, arrived at Rio Janeiro on
the 22d of August, 10 months from home,
750 barrels oil. On the 19th the Oscar's
crew armed themselves with handspikes
and axes, and went aft to ta‘.e the ship
from Captain Ludlow. The Captain was
armed with a musket, and the rest of the
after guard with spades. The Captain
then told the mutineers that the first one
who stepped aft the maiumast was a dead
man. One brave fellow as he thought
himself,opened his bosom stepped aft,and
requested the Captain to fire—which re-
quest was promptly obeyed, and in a mo-
ment he lay a lifeless corpse upon the
deck, before the rest of the crew, who
then went forward to their duty.

method became necessary, however, in
summoning Jurors, the Court had directed

the County as returned by the assessors,
and confine his operations to that, com
mencing at the First VVard, and going
regularly through the pannel of the differ-
ent VVards. [A large number of those al-
ready examined will, by this means, be
summoned again.] The Jurymen already
empanneled were given in charge of the

the treatment of Dr‘. Brigham of the State
Lunatic Asylum, she has wholly recoveredl

of John Johnson, tr ' wealthy citizen of
Greene,on whose farm in Tri'angle,Broome
Co. the Bolt family resided, at the time of
the abduction or ‘murder of Bolt’s wife.
Johnson is now, itis said, confined in the

less than two years ago, and who, it is

gathered in these various ways, by an ex-
ammatton as thorough and as impartial as

lcould be made, the committee are con-

strained to believe that the published
statement of Brother Gough is a frank and
artless declaration of the ‘truth.’ The
Committee furtheraddsus follows: A man
of more prudence,’ would have hesitated,
before drinking soda water. with a stran-
ger. Aman whose habits in early life
had always been temperate and regular
might not have been stimulated to mad-
ness by such a libatiou. And a man of
less nervous temperament might have
found some lucid moment for reflection
during such a week ofhorrid aberation of
mind. But in judging of the moral char-
acter and conduct of another, our decison
must be regulatedby what we know ofthe
physical propensities and natural tempera-
ment of his particular constitution. With
such allowance, as Christian charity re-
quires us to make on this score to all, we
are brought to the conclusion that there
has been nothing in this unhappy affair
which ought to affect the standing of our
brother Gough as a member ofthe Church
of Christ. His apparent romorse and ear-
nest prayer for forgiveness for that of
which he might have been guilty while
under strong excitement,’ are not incon-
sistent, we think, with the idea that he is
free from voluntary crime in the matter.’

This is the substance of the Report,
which was accepted by the unanimous
vote of the church. The Committee were‘

The Church was the Mount Vernon Con-

agricultural resouces of the‘ West. The
quantity of Flour coming forward is be-
yond all precedent. 'l he Canal is taxed
to its utmost capacity, with Boats. An in-
telligent Forwarder who has been con-
stantly upon the Tow Path for the last
fifteen years, and who knows pretty accu-
rately the extent of the means for remov-
ing property and with whom we travelled
on Monday, gave it as his opinion that
there were then at least 200,000 barrels of
Flour afloat between Buffalo and Albany.
He counted, within the distance of ten
miles, east of Utica, 75 boat, 73 of which
were loaded wholly, orin part, with Flour.
Every thing in the shape or semblance of
a Canal Boat, has been set in motion. T An

State‘ _
) Central‘
3 C omunitu:o‘.-

The WhigState Central Committee, it will
be seen, has issued a call fora" State Convention‘
for the nomination of state officers, to meet at

New Haven on \Vc-dnesday the 14th proximo. ,

In urginga response to this call, little need be
said more than refer to the position -and pros-
pects ofthe Whig party at the present time. It
is true, we are a defeated party,so far as the last
presidential election goes, and our opponents
have us at an advantage, inasmuchas they have
the power and pazronage ofthe government, and
an unhesitating disposition to use them. But not-
withstanding these odds, the whig party occu-
pies u nohler stand, presents a more united and
harmonious front, proclaims a more truly Amer-
ican policy, and enjoys far better prospects for
future success.than the party which are fattening
upon the p oss ession an spoils ofoflice. Thepolicy
of protection to Am ericau industry. out of which
grew the tariff law of ’4‘.’, has found favor with
many who were first captivated with the insane
cry of free trade, and is daily growing in re-
vor with many who were induced to look up-
on itwith suspicions, if not with absolute dis-
like. If proof of this were needed, we could
point to manufacturing districts where locofoco-
ism has heretofore had its stvay,and'to the public
meetings that have been held, and resolutions
adopte cl, approving ofthe present taritl, among
the locofoco man ufactures ofthe old Key Stone
state.

We might also allude to the" erection, under
the fostering of the existing tariff, of workshops
and mauufactories, in various sections of the
Union, heretofore characterized by the most
deadly hostility to every thing of the kind, ex-
cept of foreign growth.

We might look too, at some of the recent
state elections which have turned, triumphantly
too, upon the very question of tariff or no tariff.

The leven too, has beensilently at work among .

individuals, workshop companions, and commu-
nities. both manufacturing and agricultural, un.
til our opponents begin tC!ll’t’mblc at an issue on
this point, as evinced by some of our state pa-
pers. While this is the great principle upon
whichthe whigs are looking for succes. it is
the very one from which free trade locofocoism is
realizing its worst forebodings of evil. in every‘
intelligent whig bosom, there is a growing con’-
sciousness ofthese facts, and as a consequence.
a growing confidence and encouragement in their
own strength and importance. In tl e exercise
ofthis confidence then, let them begin to act,
The state convention is the first note of prepar-
ation for old Connecfcm. Let there be a hearty
and cheerful response tolhe call ofthe commit-
tee,- each town havea timely meeting and ap-
point its quota ofdelegates, such as will attend-

that the convention may be one_in numbersaswell _

as enthu‘siasm,that will give a start in the work
of preparation for the spring campaign. Fairfield
c‘ounty,—-fair in political fame, as in her cogna-
men,—must be represented at New Haven in her
full strength.

VVe placed Ihe name of Mr. Noah Lee ofRed-
ding, a few weeks ago, in a connection, which
we are informed did him injustice. A friend,
whose veracity can be depended upon, who wit-
nessed the unfortunate occurrence alluded to,
says that Mr‘. Lee was in no way chargable for
the accident. This much, should have been
said before, but through negligence has been
passed over.
