from those who were warning ih than from tli******
■**1)6111 we were wariie.l against haying lio.loul.t
it was the intention of the Indians to euine up
on us that night, aiui sn al our liorses—we left
and encamped until after dark, ami afler-a short
rest we started and tlaveled all night, doilgiug
their evil intention. Arrived .at Fort Laramie
on the l-Tth, found a few lodges ot trieudly Si
oux, encamped near Ward and (Lrrbis. W o were
informed that, sixty* lodges of Sioux weic* en
camped at Ash Hoil. iw, waiting tlie arrival of j
the troops, but did not see them; we saw only
one at that point, who seemed to be watching
the road,
A I.O XK TKAVKI.I.Kt!.
had with us a man named Ihompson,
from S;in Francisco, who said his homo was iti
l'hiladelpliia, from which he had been absent
five years, and where he had a family. This man
was alone when we overtook him, bare of cloth
ing, without money, or anything to eat. I first
saw him at Salt bake; just arrived from Califor
n,a ; left the valley sometime before, and up to
the tone we overtook him had traveled alone.—
Had eaten but a few times, going as much as
three days at a-timo without anything,.. This!
man we took in as one of our party ; he encamp
ed with us at Ash Hollow, and, us uSual, when
wewere about breaking up camp lie started in j
®l}r. American Union.
I advnive of us. After we life! .tinted and travel
led it aliort distanee, s-eeing the sinelo Indian on.
! wateli, it caused inquiry for 1 lioinson. Welook-
I oil for Ii is track and mi-x and ii; tve went l>aek
| and found that lie had Ink. n a load which led to
| a ci'ossinir lower down on the South Blalte. We, I
| however, Mippo*e<] that il led around the hill,
1 and that it. toil into the road a short distance
ahead; after this time we did not sec or hear
Anything of him, though we made every inquiry
| po'sible.

from tlie lap of Monarchy- over bearing in I r< ■>t

This itlonc’sliouhLsiillieo to reeoinmcnd this m-w
party to and wholly justily them in
the ad,'ption'of its great j rinciples; and I am ot
the-opinion that the scale will yet fall from the
political eyes of our opponents and they will unite
with us in our sanguine attempt to avert the com

well say- the whole American Inion.
t lint there is one oljT-etiuii to us. urged by bur
‘contra-minded friends, which I will tiere give a
cursory notide, viz: they accuse us (and unjustly
too, w ith the evil of proscribing tlie Catholic reli
gion and thereby transcending our Constitutional
rights. Now we claim no unconstitutional ground
and as far as a Roman Catholic is concerned, if
he desires to come to this genial clime with his pe
culiar religion we are willing, if he desires to vote
he can do so in a limited time necessary. Hut we
are unwilling to give him office, neither arc we
’ willing that be shall help to establish the Vatican
of Popery upon the bloody ruin- of American lib
’ erty: this is our aim by proscribing the Catholics.
1 and in this we are to the letter wholly justifiable;
1 especially when we take into consideration the
•dangers that might arise from the fact that any
religion conceived in the womb of Monarchy, and
claiming to be perfect, (all else heresy) holds the
’ divine right to crush all else beneath it, and who

It is a settled fact, that the American, in the
general acceptation of the word, is not favorable
to the foreigner, (collectively speaking,) though
I worthy foreigners may have and do enjoy tne
! respect of a goodly number of personal friends.
In proof of this assertion, see how friendfy a
Hemocratic candidate is to a foreigner before s n
t electionfaml how indifferent after it is over. No#
j if this be true, and I believe it to be so, is there

was one of the officers in the Hungarian regi
ments under Kossuth. He was astonished, to
h,-ai , f in,-tha! I was a Whig. I asked him
! whether he knew the distinction between the
j tw,, parties, and ho said, that Democracy up
holds republican governments, and Whiggery ia
jin favor of I’oteiitatcs. This was the,opinion of
a f ount, and although T believe a Count no ac

Tammany Society.
Gov. Cobb, having been twitted with being a
member of tlie Tammany Society, generally un
. derstook to lio a secret political organization,
has avi itteu a letter to (Jot. Jones,of Covington,
1 in. which In- says that “Tammany Society Is A
• social and not a political organization.”
Can Mr. Cobh mention a man outside of the
I>tninrrulir jmrty who was ever a member of
tliat society l We thi ik it will puzzle him to
do so. If, then democracy is a necessary quali
lication for membership, though its chief objects
may l„- social, wo cannot readily perceive how
Gov. Cobh can ignore its political character, or
deny that it is substantially, and to all inteuta
I and purposes, a jtolitieal society.
1 Mr. Cobb also says that as far as he fen ossa or
■ believes, the society “has never mingled in the’
political or party strife* of the country.” Mr.
| Cobh is a much older man than ourselves, yet
j we have a very distinct recollection that in the
’ reign of Jackson and Van Rurun. Tatnmanv So
cietv was considered the great hot-bed and foun
tain-head of both the policy and the nomination*
<>f the democratic jiarty.
We have before its a memorable speech of Got.
< ‘obb, himself, before this same ‘iammany Soci
ety, a few years ago, in which he was introduc
ed by t ‘ol. Delavan, the Grand Sachem, a* “our
beloved brotiier, whose services in the cause of
Democracy were known all over the land.” And
in reply to acoinplimen'ary toast, then and there
given, Mr. Cobb promised to confine himself to
* a few reflections on the jiasl history and proba
ble future of the Democratic party in the south
ern States,” which, said Mr. Cobb, is “all you
want to know in relation to the South !”
j W natever Tammany may really be in ordi
nary times, it is very certain its “social” was
fatty merged in its “political” character on the
occasion when Mr. Cobb took his seat with the
t faithful.— Wilkes Republican.
