Vol. X., No. 240—Whole No. 3849, NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1844 WONDERFUL DISCLOSURES RE- SPECTING MORMONISM. A NARRATIVE OF THE Adventures and Experience JOSEPH H. JACKSON, IN NAUVOO, Disclosing the Depths of Mormon Villainy, (concLupED ) When we got within a half mile of Montrose, Richardson who had Frevicnaty, by fair promises, induced Karnes to give up the halter of his horse, which he had held in his hand during most of the journey, put spurs aud ran into the town. At this time the boy was on behind me, and of course I could make but little speed: the others, however, started after Richardson, and I expected to find them all in towa. When I arrived at the old Bar- racks, 1 was surprised ‘o tind Karnes and Stout alone, sitting on their horses. I asked where the balance of the company was, buf they did not know, and appeared to be waiting for them to come up. lsuggested that they had gone on to town, an urged them to follow on with me. So on we went, but on arriving at Peck’s store, we were sur- rounded by about fifteen men, whom Richardson’s friends had aroused, and who were armed with guns and bayonets. They soon took off the lad from behind me, and Richardson pointed to me and said to one of the gang, ‘Uncle John, this is the man that drew a pistol on me and said he would shoot, if I did not drop my shovel.” With this, the old tellow, who was very stout, seized the bridle of ay horee, and ordered me to turn around and go back to Carpenter's Tavern, saying that Lynch Law was good enough for me, and that [ should have until sunrise to say my prayers. This made me feel rather curious, but I determined on a bold push to extricate myself. Idrew my pistol, and pointing it directly at the old fellow’s head, said I “* Let go my horse, or I’! blow off the cap piece of your skull,” This contounded him so ccmpletely, that he loosed his hold and jumped back. With this, I gave a loud yell, struck my horse with the pistol, and bounded through the men, who stood with fixed bayonets immediately in front of me. My horse received three bayonet wounds, but I es- caped unhurt—they fired on me, but it being too dark to, see arod whead, they shot at random. Stout, in the meantime, escaped in the confusion, and we ran our horses to the ferry boat, where we found the balance of the company we had lost. We all boarded the boat, (Karnes being, as we thought, in possession of the peeple of Montrose,) and rowed for our lives over to Nauvoo. On ar- tiving there, we found Joe partially dressed wrapped in his mantle. He had heard the report of guns on the other side, and had got up at this early hour, which was for him very unusual, to see what had happened. On landing, we told him our story. [damned the men asa pack of cowards, for having left myself, Stout and Karnes. On learning that Karnes was still in Montrose, the Prophet raised an alarm, called out the Legion, and gave orders to pass over the river and release rother Karnes, who, he said had been kidnapped by the Missourians. The whole city was thus thrown into confusion, and hundreds rushed to the river, and crossed over in all manner of crafts. While this was going on, Karnes was discovered ina canoe paddling across the river above town. All hands went to meet him, and ar he landed they cried out, ** Halleludh! Glory to God! well done Brother Karnes!” &c. Karnes was utterly con- founded at these demonatratipns; but kept still. He could not, however, have looked meaner had he been detected in sheep stealing. So well did Joe manage this affair, that to this day the people of Nauvoo generally believe that Karnes was in reality kidnapped by the Missourians; and of ‘course, the story told by the people of Montrose, was set dowa by Joe’s honest dupes to the credit of perseention. Thus ended this nefarious plot, which, had it se far succeeded as to have got Richardson to Nauvoo, the order of Joe was to tie an iron bar to his — and throw him into the Mississippi for cat-fish My action in this affair gave Joe the greatest confidence in me, and aided the belief that I was in reality a des; rado. He now threw off all the restraint under which he had previously acted, and seemed no longer to doubt that I would readily carry any measure of his, no matter how black or ddmnable. ‘In consequence of my having made so great a conquest of his confidence by my cenduct in thia affair, 1 was admitted into all his secret councils, and ‘was confided in so far, that he‘disclosed to me every act of his life, that he had occasion to refer to, in conversation. By thia means, I became possessed of facts in relation to the plunderiog, murdering and counterfeiting operations, in which Joe been for years engeged, and in which he is aided by}accomplices throughout the country. As these things were merely disclosed to me by Joe, | will not ven- ture at present to mention names ; but I believe that it the government and the people would raise the means, and enter in a proper spirit into measures to ferret out the vil Jains, I could disclose facts sufficient to lead to the detec tion of numbers of « band of scoundrels who infest the whole county, and have their head quarters at Nauvoo. Yes, this far tamed Holy City of Nauvo: has been the hid- e hid- ing place of more stolen goods, horses and thieves, then any other spot on earth, and there, under the protection of the city ordinance, which forbid an officer of justice to search for persons oF property. unless the writ wes first endorsed by Joe, snd executed by the City Marshal— they remained in perfect security. {vis not the country in the immediate vicinity of Nau- voo, that alone suffers from the depredation | of there Jand pirates; the whole State, and Iowa and Missouri to a great extent, feel the scourge. Yes, in Missouri, Joe Smith has his friends and emissaries, But enough of this, my object is to tell what I saw and heard of events passing betore me, and not of what was transpiring at a distance. When, however, the time arrives, | wall not be silent. It was shortly after the adventure I have related above, (1dth of January, 1844,) that Joe informed me, in conve: sation, that he had been endeavoring for some two months to get Mrs. William Law for a spiritual wife. He said that he had used every argument in his power to convince her ol the correctness of his doctrise, but could not suc- ceed, I then asked him how he dare preach auch doc- trines to virtuous and well meaning females, in the name of the Lord ; and in relation to the particular course he ‘was pursuing towards Mrs. Law, | remarked that it aston- iipdns to see him profess so great friendship for Law, while at the same time he was endeavoring to destroy his happiness by the seduction of his wife. To this he repli- ed, that Law was frying to seduce Emma, and he was de- termined to beat him. | then asked him if Emma knew ef his hee Jie many spiritual wives, to whicn he replied that she did, and was knowing to every act of his life, end he believed she was the most virtuous women on earth ; and that she even would not be trus to him if she could geta ice ; but said he, “I watch her close and mean to, so long as I live.” I then asked him if he could bl: Law ifheshould seduce Emma He seemed to think that Law would not do such a thing. { then reminded him = he just said athe Law had vied to Poses Beary in order to justify! own proceeding w! aw’s wife, but that arabe contradicted himself 13 expressing so much confidence in Law. ‘To get out of bis dilemma, he said that the truth was, Emma wanted Law for a spiritual hus- band, and that she urged as a reason that as he hed so many spiritual wives, she thought it but fair that she should at least have one man spiritually sealed up to her, and that she wanted Law, because he was such a “ sweet little man.” He then tried to ade me to aid him in his purposes on Mrs. Law, and said that he would employ any stratugem in order to accomplish his object, and went on to say, that he and Emma had both tried to per- snade her of the correctness of the doctrine, but that she would not believe it to be of God. 1 told him that he must carry his plot himself, for | would have nothing to do with such things ; but remarked, that if all parties were agreed, that heand Law hed better swop wives. To which he replied that that was ell Emma wonted. The conversa- tion then turned on other subjects {and Joe boasted of his feats and achemes, and how cunningly he had carried his measures. He spoke of his spiritnal wives particularly, and called them “ great coptaine,” in his service to carry huis design, and remarked that through them he could get any stranger’s moi lasked him how he would work the matter; to which he replied, that he had only to tell certain of his gs wives, that such a man had been in the Missouri war, and that he should be put out of the way, and his Property. and er consecrated to the of the church ; then, said he, it is d—d easy for them to et into his good graces, and to mix a white powder with is victuals, and put him out of the way. I then told him that he ought to give me the names of these women, as they might be ol service to me in carrying his secret measures. then went om to give me the names of women, who he said would go to the ends of the earth for him; but I shall not in thi: place dis- close them. My reason for silence on this point is, thut tie Governor, to whom I disclosed all the abomi- nations to which I refer in these pages, did not pur- sue the er policy, but treated my disclosures with contem| marched to Nauvoo, a8 was proposed, withan army, I would have been willing to pledge my life that Leould have produced proof, damning proof, ol every word { have said. To disclose names, when the roof was at hand, would have produced its proper effect : ut to mention them in these poges would only defeat the object which I have in view. Besides this, many of Joe’s spiritual wives are honest in their belief ofthe correctness of the doctrin: id to the world they have untarnii ;.it would not therefore be g ld the Sar M pee it, to disclose th re misguide ved, but not abandoned, and thus forever blight their reputations. But more of this anon. ‘To return to Joe’s attemptson Mrs. Law. For the pur pose of {pein tring 1 got up a revelation that Law ‘was to be sealed up to Emma, and that Law’s wife was to be his; in other words, there was to be a spiritual swop. Joe nad never before suffered his passion for any woman to carry him so far as tobe willing to sacrifice Emma for its gratification ; but in this case, no doubt, the object was the more because of the ditticulty of procuring it. It muy be proper here to observe that Law, although one of the ‘men of the church, yet he was not one of those to w! it was given to know “the fullness ofthe kingdom,” although au enthusiastic Mormon, yet he was but litte acquuinted with any other than matters iy ene tothe church. He had frequent- ly heard of the spiritual wife doctrine from the Gentiles, but he, not having heard such doctrine Aaught by Smith, set it down as @ slanderous persecution against the church. When, however, this new revelation was made known to him, his eyes were opened, and at once he in- dignantly rejected doctrine as not of God but of the Devil. Such was his vehemence and indignation that it became apparent to Joe that he had presumed too much on Law , and that it would be idle to attempt to stuff hua with the doctrine. There was no ve, there- fore, for Joz, but to destroy Law’s influence, aad there- fore a great bustle was raised und Law cut off trom the holy oider. This placed Law, who was particularly s sitive, in an awful dilemma, and so powertully ‘aad frequent lectures he received work upon his nerves, that I entertained serious apprehensions that he would be- he sete ning Joe snd I hada long talk ne lay moi joe Thada concern: ing Law, in which he avowed, not ior the first time how- ever, his determination to put Law out of the way, for he had become di us to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and that it was the will of God that he should be removed. He, however, wished to proceed in such a manner that he would be able to get Law’s wile. He then dctermined on calling out the police, as it was publicly called, but Danites in private, which the city council had given him the sole command of, with power to disband or hold them on duty at his discretion. He de- termined to keep forty of them on duty, twenty at atime, undersay of the city, The reason ior this proceeding, as given to the people, was, that he thought it necessary to have a city watch; but the real object, as disclosed to me, was, to mut hisenemies. These men were, as Joe told me, sworn to the following oath: “You do, each and every one of you, having the power of the Holy Ghost conferred upon you by the first, jidency of this Church, swear that you will protect me and ny household, in every measure that I may deem lawful intho sight 0: God, or that | consider necessary to the prosperity ofthe church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sainte—Murder end Treason not excepted, so help you ” After having given methe substance of the oath, he re- marked that he could through these means do the thing (pnicely. Not only was his design to remove William Law, but also William Marks. ‘The spite he had egainst the latter, arose from the fact that he had endeavored to seduce the daughter of Marks, and she had informed her parents, who were very wrathy, and Joe dreaded thar influence, For this reason, he said that those individuals if they were not checked would ruin the church. “Now,” said he, “1 will work it this way : I will keep twenty on watch under the command of Captain Dunham, who will sel’ xt five to do the work, and these men will both be missing, and then 1’ll make a great noise about it, and call it persecution. Now, said he aint this ad——d good plan to get rid of traitors? But,” he continued, * you must kee; from Emma, for she thinks so m of Law that she won’t submit to it.” 1 that I would. He then said that he intended to keep .p this watch until he had rid the city of hia enemies, and there were some in the country whom he also intended should go by the board. He sad that the church had already suffered enough from persecutors, and that he would submit no longer—men must cease their persecutions, or he would give them a dose that would stop them. I had listened patiently thus far to the mad ana he!lish schemes of this wretch, when I took a bold and decided stand in opposi- tion to him. I took the part of Law and Marka particu. larly, for they were the only ones in immediate danger. Joe accused me of ¥ his hands, and said he could do nothing if opposed. In the meantime a Mr. Norton had be. Come by some means possessed of the facts, and gave Law a hint of what was goingon. Emma had also overheard something to arouse her suspicions, and I kept the matter in limbo by hammering at Joe in private. Soon the plot became almost visible. The people grum- bled Greatly at the immense expense of the forty guards which were kept in pay, without any good cause being assigned, and suspicion was aroused throughout the city, that some underhand work was in contemplation. Wm and Wilson Law having heard, by the vague information they had received, that either one of them, or Marks was the Judas whom Joe soaght, armed themselves and went toJoe’s house. On seeing them, Joe became desperately alarmed, and gave every evidence of his apprehensions They had a long conversation, in the course of which Joe made so. ¢ abusive remark, which so exas} ted Wilson ‘Law, tnat he drew his pistol, and made allow his wordsinahurry. So great was the excitement, that it was with tne te A William Law and Hyrum Smith, could prevent Wilson from firing Joe seeing his plans foiled, determined on making capi- tal of the whole uffair, by raising the cry of persecution. Accordingly he called the City Council together, aud in order to show the public that there was no ground for the rumors that had been afloat cencerning the plot against Law, he brought all tne forty guards up and questioned every man whether he had ever bound them by a secret oath, Every man appeared perfectly amazed, and not one had ever known ot any such thing, no! they know any thing about the couspiracy against Law and Marks. This isa part of Joe’s game; whenever he is accused o1 secret plots, he calls his men, who are instructed to ap- ras foolish as possible, to disprove the accusation. in this instance they endeavored so hard to appear silly, that a sensibie man might have detected the trl ; but the faithiul were convinced that Joe had been vilely persecu- ted and slandered, and that there was no ground whatever for the accusation against him. Joe, aiter having proved himself innocent by his accomplices, turned on the old man Norton, and culled him all manner of vile names; told him bis tongue ought to be pulled out by the roots, and, said he, ‘D——n yeu, if you ever give vent tosuch anoth- er rumor, without more cause, I willorder you cut up and fed to cat-fish ” This was in presence of the City Council, number of spectators The poor old fellow, true Mormon and an honest man, really thought that the indignation of Heaven wae let loose and he looked the v. bent of penitence sion. After delivering himself of his rage on the old man Joe turned to the City Council and declared that he was Law’s warmest friend, and so completely did he spread the deceit on them, that the Laws were indnced to kee} what had between them and Joe to themselves, pat to the worldevery a appeared fair. Law did not know that I had any knowie ie what passed, until 1 gave him ahint of his danger, end then disclosed what [knew ol the affair that had transpired between him and Joe. From that day we @ perfect understanding. To prevent an interruption of my narrative, I have omitted an interview that I had with Joe Hyrum, at the time the plan to assassinate Law was first concocted. Previous to Joe having settled upon any particular plan for the removal of Law, he sent for Hyrum to sel with him. We all three took a walk down the river Fauk, and Joe made known to Hyrum that he had told me the whole plot against Law’s life, which appeared to please him; but he opposed Joe's plan of assassination, and stated that if Law was cut off in thia manner, it would bring the whole Gentile world down on them. He then suggest ed what he called a better plan of operation, which was to win Law’s friendship bytappes ring sorry ,and apologizing for what had happened, and then invite him to a party, where they could easily put a white powder in his tea. Joe thought a few moments on the plan, and said that Emma would be in the way, and she would not suffer it. Hyrum met this objection by saying, that he would get his wife to call off Emma’s attention, and then Mra. Thompson and Mrs. Durfe» would do up the business; Law wouid be taken suddenly ill; they would be called to Jay hands on him, and no one would suspect the cause of his death. This course he deemed much safer than Joe’s; because by his plan there would be suspicion aad trouble. Jove said he would take the evening to think on it. Soon after we arrived at the Nauvoo House, and Joe went home Hyrum and myeelf proceeded alone io Joe's store. When we arrived there, I proposed to walk back of the store to the river, being desirous to get something further outof Hyrum. I then asked him some questions about Mrs. Thompson, whether she could be trusted, &«. I told him that I did not want her acquointonce unlers she was one ot the secret women. He replied that I need have no fears of her, for he would trust her with hia life. Said he, “if I were to tell her to put on men’s clothes, and set Law’s Mill on fire, she would do it. Oh! my God! is acaptain” I then remarked, that I hao heard thi was one of hia spiritual w: 1. Said he, ‘who told you?” [ lied that the Prophet told me, not only of her, but of nearly all their secret women, and th = it was right that he did, for they might be of service to me inc: ing their measures, “Yes!” said he, “1 have slept between her and my wife.” God,” said M: I, “how did yon keep them from quarreling !” said he, “ they ore sisters ; and that is not all, the in Christ Jesus” He then went on to give mea history ot his feats with his spiritual wives, but id reasons above mentioned, I will withhold names. There are women, however, who should be exposed, such os this Mrs. Durfee. Taking her own con. fession and Joe's stories ws correct, there is not, I believe, such another perfect fierd in human shape on the Earth. A mere devout, pious and virtuous being, than she apparently is, cannot be found in any church; but @ more perfect specimen of knavers , villainy, and every thing that is detestable in humanity, than she in reality is, the Union cannot produce. A stranger who visits Nauvoo can form no idea of the corruption practi- ced inthe city. Tohim, every thing aj Ty fectly ed id quiet harmonious, and he is favorably impressed ; hence, sets down all that he hears against the Mormons, as originating in religions intolerance. Nay-! aman may live for years in this place, and know but little of its ini quities, so completely does Joe cover up hiscrime. Many who were fo to tell what they knew, were deterred and are still deterred by the fear of the power of Jee and the secret clan about him. When any thing of a dis: graceful character is disclosed, Joe, ever ready to prove a negative, will bring together his clan and prove himsel{ en innocent ; and thus, no matter how vile bis con. net in private, the individual who ventures to disclose it, not only runs the risk of his life, but has but little hope of making the pe 1a believe his story. Joe's conduct ith eo women jauvoo, ‘every thing in black. ness that | have ever rdor read of, I have from his own mouth and from the mouth of his victims, state ments which I dare not reveal ; for the world will not be. lieve that such corruption could possibly exist. Yet, if protection could be a: jed to some of those females who were the victims of these wretches (the leaders in Nau. bina T could, | believe, from thvir own mouths, procure confessions that would startle the world. I have visited, pt yer those women whom Joe supported for the gratification of his Iust—I have found them subsisting on the coarsest food, and not daring to utter a word of complaint, for they feared Joo Smith more than they did their God. 1 have appealed to the finer feelings of their nature, and seen them weep as children when dwelling on the jed state to which their credulity had reduced them. Knowing me to be in bod bares wierd whey, uosnened not to unfold their griefs tome, bat their ne re and acquaintances gen- nothing of this ‘or their degreda- erally, know or tion, ‘These remarks opply only to a portion of the spir- Eon wih for there are many who are us corrupt as Joe From my knowledge of the spiritual wife system, 1 should think that the number of secret women in Nauvoo cannot be much less then six hundred. There are many married, as well as single women in this number ; and 80 sly jy do they curry on their operations, that the husbands of » any have never mistrusted the tact. Occasionally, a matter of this kind was detected that opened the eyes of a few persons ; and so conspicuous were things made to ‘appear the early part of this spring, that every man in the ol A who was hot so blinded by tanaticism as to doubt the evidence of his own senses, eculd have seen what damna- ble iniquity was practiced.’ in const quence of the discov- eries then made by the two Laws, Dr. Foster and others, and toe exposure that followed, many of the most intelli Lt and respectable of the church dissented, denounced joe as a fallen prophet, and formed a new society. Butto return to my conversation with Hyrum. After givin me his rience in the spiritual wife system, he ury me to take a few women, and named two or three whom he said would suit me. | thanked him, and said I had no desire to form eny connection with any women in the city, but if 1 should change my mind! would give his choice the preference, in part. As we returned to the store, we met Dr. Richards, and Hyrum said to him that he would prophecy on my head that | would soon come into thechurch, and become as great a man as ever Paul was. To this I made but little reply, and left them to- gether. I went down to Joe’s house, and, on entering, | tound Joe in conversation with Emma, who was weeping bitterly. 1 asked Joe if he was en le ied by telling me to walk into his council room, and he would be there presently. I accordingly went in, and found Porter Rockwell sweeping the room. Alter | took my seat, Rockwell remarked that there was trouble in the camp. Said I, ‘ yes, and it appears to be of a serious na- ture.” Presently Joe entered and took his seat beside me. He appeared vexed with Emma, because she opposed him in his plans against Law. He said she was mad because she could not get Law for a spiritual husband, and that he would be obliged to turn off his apiritual wives that he Of Sar Angie tat ivi aigd ibe Tah ob Kanab de cco! a few days Joe up house- q and Deeearhatiaes took the house. P ice and hia family boarded with him ; and thus teu or twelve poor fe- males whom he had duped, and some of whom really thought, that they had had the Holy Ghost for a bed-fellow, were turned out cf house and home to shift for themselves. Joe’s reason, as given to the pegple, for thus breaking up house keeping, was that he too much business, and had not time sufficient to attend to both household con- cerns and the affairs of the church. But to return to my conversation with Joe in the council room. He said that he had come to a firm determination that no traitor should live in the city, and that there were some in the country who he said should go by the board. He named Laws, Doctor and C. A. Foster, Higbee, Kilbourn of Fort Madi- son, Fleak of Keokuk, Sharp, Col. Williams, H. T. Wil- son and A. Sympson, who, he said, were a pack of perse- cuting d—d ‘rascals, and were continually sapping his heart's blood by their influence ; and,” continued he, “1 will prophecy in the name of God thut every one of the d—d vipers shall be aut off” “There,” said he ‘I have said it in the name of Almighty God, and one by one they shall be missing, and my prophecy fulfilled to the letter. Now don’t Page Oppose me, for you will weaken my arm.” | ecarcely knew which to be the most astonished at, the infernal villainy, or the mad presumption of the wretch. He seemed to think that he could, with perfect impunity, rid the country of his cnemies. 1 have no doubt thet he could, so far as law is concerned, but past experience should have taught him to fear the vengeance of an ex- cited multitude, After giving me this caution, he re- marked that if I would strengthen his arm, he would build me up in the world. It was shortly after this con- versation, that I commenced my opposition to him, con cerning his hora m gee Law ; thia 1 did not do, however, until Isaw his plan of operation was matured. When this was made apparent, I took a bold stand, and in the resence of his secret council, and of several of his Can- ites, I denounced the plet, as a foul, cowardly and dumna- ble piece of villainy. He soon saw that I wes not what he had imagined me to be, and asa steppin stone to the accomplishment of his great object, he a for my removal. He appeared, if any thing, more friendly than ever, and I began to mistrust treachery ; but for some time could get no evidence, until at last some of his wo- men disclosed that a plot was on foot against me In the meantime, I endeavored to talk him out of his plot against Law, and gave Law atew hints ot his di ger, but not of a pointed or definite character, for fear that he would be artes yet sufficient to put him on his In order that I might be able to get alj the infor- red, concerning the secret designs sgainst me, I commenced @ corr: indence with Hyrum Smith’s won her confidence, that she reported to me her obser- From her, | obtained many valuable items, and amongst the rest, the truth of a certan rumor that had been efloat in town, concerning Joe’s having feigned a revelation, that he should have the wife of William Smith marzied toghim spiritually. This was in the winter ot 1842-’3, while William was in the Legislature, and pre vious to my last residence in Nauvoo. is wife wrote to him and toid what overtures Joe had made, which greatly exasperated William, and produced quite a disiurbunce in the’! acl tpil When William returned to Nauvoo, he gave ee "s Prophet Lavina (Hyram’s roghter) in her me, de- clared the above statement true, und said that that was not the worst. I pressed her to tell me all,and fiually she said that about the latter t of M 1843, Joe had Jeigned a revelation to have Mrs. Milligan, his own sister, married to him spiritually. ‘This was just after William ‘Smith had leit Nauvoo to preside overa branch of the church at Philadelphia ; Joe and he having hushed up Leir differences, When this revelation was made known to Mrs. Milligan, she wrote to William, givi account of Jov’s conduct, and said that she should go back to the State of Maine, andspend the summer. When she received an answer from William, she accordingly aid go. In his answer, William gave Mra. Milligan a good piece of advice concerning Lavina ; and cautioned her not to let Joe get the advantage of her. Previous, however, to this answer arriving, Joe had a revelation concerning Lavina, who was at that time living with him and attend- ing on her Grandmother, Lavina went to her aunt, Mrs. M r advice, and enquired of her if this was law. fulin the sight of God. Mrs. Milligan tuld her not to submit, and wept bitterly to think that Joe was so base as first to try to seduce William's wife, then his own sister, and lastly his niece. She advised Lavina to leave Joe’s house, and shun it as she woul ahouse of ill fame. Ac- cordinzly, Lavina did so. About this time, I had aconversation with Joe, (who, it will be recollected still professed great friendship for me, doubtlessly for sinister purposes,) which turned on the spiritual wife doctrine. Joe had been drinking quite freely, and I broached the subject of the rumor concern- ing Mrs. Milligan and Lavina. Joe would not own that he had tried his own sister, but confessed the whole mat ter in relation to Lavina ; and said that he got Hyrum to consent to it by giving him one of his spiritual gifts, whot Hyrum toed dearly, (a Miss 8) He said that he had lost Lavina by the foolishness of Clayton, but, said he, “ I'll have her yet.” This William Clayton is one of Joe’s private clerks, and a ready cat’s paw for all manner of base work. He has lived with his wife and wife’s sis- ter in common for the last year, and has children by both of them. This is the man who Joe had set to work to lead his niece into the paths of iniquity; aiding him by feigned revelations. Bufthis innocent girl had timely warning from her aunt, who admonished her not to hearken to the foul counsels of her father and uncle, and was thus saved from the pit into which #0 many hed failen. In relation to Mrs. Milligan, I would obser¥e, that although not per- sonally acquainted with her, I have frequently heard her spoken of by Joe’s spiritual wives, who never tailed to eulogise her asa nobl and excellent woman I have heard some of them say, after my depicting their desper- ate condition to them, * Oh, that I had taken the advice of Mrs. Milligan, I might then have been saved from ell this infamy to which I am now reduced.” From which it will appear that Lavina was not the first ste had warned. # before stated, when Joe saw that I was in opposition to his dastardly and black hearted measures concerning aw, he began to plot against my life ; but having seve- ral confidents among the women, I kept the windward of him, but determined to leave the city soon as! could settle some business that I hadon hand. The first plot that I learned of, was to get up a California expedition, and murder meon the route. | had lived California, and Joe knew that I had crossed the prairi He th fore proposed to send under my direction a company of his Danites to California, to explore the country and look out @ situation for @ branch of the church.— This thing was talked of for several days, without my suspecting the object. A certain lady, however, who bad heard Joe, Hyrum, and Dr. Richard: conversation, came to me and gave me to understand what wos going on; and told me that the plot war to et started, and kill me ; and then return and report that the Indians had shot their pilot,and they were obliged to return. This she declared was the sole object ot the California expidition,and she made me swear that | would never divulge hername.

The next plot which I he of, was, for Willard Richards to invite me to go wNh him hunting on the Island. There several men were to be placed in ambush, who wonld shoot me, and then Rich- ardu to run to the city and cry ‘mob, perseention, Mii sourians, &c.” This plot was also revealed to me young lady who wished much to serve Shortly after this revelation, Richards met me in the street ond pro. posed a hunting excursion on the island. I made en evi sive reply, and give him Cy ery hint as to his object Another plot which was detected in the execution, was this: I slept at Snyder’s, on the De floor, immediate. ly under a window. One night | was awakened by « Kind of nibbling noise like the gnawing of a rat. A cur. tain was drawn across the window, und the assassin was attempting to cut the putty from the glass, and then draw the curtain aside thet he might mi @ sure shot On hearing the noise, | arose gently in bed, and seized m: pistol. ‘The villain, however, heard the noise, and fted The next rig} tho tracks of his feet were visible, the cutting of the putty from the glass was also witnessed, and, in the haste of the retreat, the fence had been knock eddown. These Lys were seen by many of Snyder's family, and others, who will substentiate my statement Alter the last evidences being presented to me of Joe’s in tentions on my life, I went several times to see him, but could never find him. He was sick or absent, or some such excuse wos all the satisfaction I could get. 0. P. Rockwell had the impudence once to ask me “what my business with the General was?” I replied that that wos @ matter between him and me = My ation was to beard him in his villainy, and if he gave the slightest pro- vocation, to shoot him. Shortly ofter the last mentioned ife 1 left the Hol , a Smith, | « not have mentioned her name, if it were not that William Smith lant spring, in St. Louis, gave me the same statement in re; to Joe’s treatment of her, Mrs. Milligan and of his wile, which I have detailed above. William remarked that Mra. Milli. hud always thwarted Joe, and she always would ; and the reason why Joe had as he had, was because he had always oppesed in his diabolical schemes of assassination. | believe that William is too honorable a man, me tony this statement ; indeed, at one time, it weuld have taken but little provocation te have induced him to have exposed Joe, and all his schemes of villainy. I have now given a brief sketch of some of the damna- ble practices carried on, in the name of religion, in Nau- yoo ; but to avoid an interruption, I have omitted to nar- rate several matters that passed before my observation, The world is generally aware of the fact, that Joe Smith was a candidate for the Presidency. ‘This has excited uni- versul contempt and merriment; for no one conceived that Joe had any idea of his own success; but he had his object, even ‘in this, which was more treasonuble and laid ‘dhe aby person ae ited — him oat imagine. object was simply this :—There was a Mr. Brown, formerly of ille, tu, with whom | became acquainted in mn after my arrival there. This man has a wonde jus for invention, and has plan- e pecs ea steam fire ship, which, to all appearance, is capable of great execution. He stated to me, that he had been oper: for 21 years, in perfect- ing this work, but had not the means to bring the matter betore the nation, and that Joe had made him & proposition which had caused him to remove to Nauvoo. This position was to furnish the means to take him, ther with G. A. Adams and Orson Hyde, to Russia, where the invention would be laid before the Emperor ; and as Joe had great faith in its success, he expected a large sum for secret, which Brown and Joe were to divide. This was palmed off on Brown, but was far from Joe’s real object. His real object, as he disclosed it to me, was this: he would first run for President, and thus be able to prove to theEmperor of Russia his strength in the Union. He would then send G. A. Adams, Orson Hyde and Brown to ! ussia, and after the utility of the invention had been fairly proved to the Emperor, Joe’s proposition to him was to be submitted— which was to form a league for the overthrown of the powers that be. Now this may seem too ridiculous for any man to imagine possible ; nevertheless, no one ac- uainted with the excessive vanity of Joe Smith, will ubt but thet he in reality, believed that he could form even so preposteious a union. Joe's idea was, that by the aid of Brown’s invention he could introduce himself to the Emperor, and hav: the strongest faith in the efficiency of the new discov- ery as an instrument of warfare, he imagined that if His Mojesty could once see the wonderful work, that he willing even to take him as a partner in the benefits, for the sake of its advant wild as this scheme may seem, it is no wilder than many that have characterised Mormonism from its infenoy, I deem it proper here to mention, that [ told Goy. Fori, aiter his arrival at Carthage, of the substance of what I have disclosed in these pages ; aud moreover, that I would pledge myself, if a posse sufficient for protectionjwere rnished, that I would goto Nauvoo, and show the secret peenets eet hiding places inthe city, and furnish evi- lence of the strongest character to substantiate the truth of what I had stated to him in relation to the Bogus opera- tions, spiritual wife iniquity, plans of assassinations, tam pering with the Indians, &c. An order was given atonce to march the forces to Nauvoo, as I sup, for that pur ose, but after the arrival of a certain politician, things ok aturn; the order was countermanded, and a portion of the Dael'y were disbanded on the prairie, while on their march. The world is aware of what resulted from their exasperatign in consequence thereof. The limits of these pages preclude any further remarks on this subjeet. Philadelphia. (Correspondence of the Herald.] Puinapetruia, Sept. 5, 1844. Bishop Onderdonk—Great Special Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Pennsylvania. This great moral, intelligent and respectable body assembled in this city, at St. Andrew’s Church, this evening at 6 o’clock, for the transac- tion of important matters connected with the moral standing, not only of the Chnrch, but the character of its Bishop. The number of delegates present, with the spectators, was not so large as I antici- pated ; but as the proceedings go on, the excite- ment must increase. As yet, no ladies have ap- peared. Bishop Onderdonk has been a great star in the religious world, but his glory has set—set forever! To the proceedings: At the appointed hour, George M. Wharton, Secretary ex officio, called the convention to order, and stated the business before it ; after which the certificates of the laymen were presented and laid upon the table. i The roll of the clergy, as made out by the Bishop, was called, when it appeared 59 were present, out of 74. The certificates of lay delegates were next recorded ; after which the general roll was called, 120 answering to their names—71 churches having sent certificates of representatives, yet only 71 were actually represented. The number of ehurches in the whole diocese is 116! f ‘The Secretary remarked, that according to the rules of the previous Conventions, the election of a President was next in order. Dr. Tyne immediately sprang up and nominated his friend, the Rev. Dr. Bull, as the oldest member of the diocese. ; The Rev. Dr. Urnotp, of Pittsburg—a very fine man—nominated the Rev. Dr. Bowman. ‘The Convention decided to vote by ballot. Josrrn R. Inczreou., the able lawyer,briefly ad- dressed the Convention. He said, tha, when the presiding officer was absent, the rule was unani- mous in all deliberative bodies, that where indivi- duals voted in their representative capacity, and no cause to the contrary was shown, the vote by bal- lot was the correct vote. ‘ ‘The question being called for, it was decided to vote by ballot—yeas 89—nays 61. The Rev. Dr. Morton and Rev. Mr. Suddards, were selected to receive the ballots of the Clergy, each being entitled to one vote; and Messrs. Her- man Cope and Osman Reed, to receive those of the Laity. On the first ballot the re was no choice, when the Rev. Dr. Bowman desired his name to be with- drawn. On the second ballot, the vote stood : Rev. Dr. Bull, 30 Clergy, 29 Laity—total. .. Rey. Dr. Bowman, 28 ‘ 26 “ —total. Rev. Ric’d. Morgan, | be; Rev. Dr Uphold, 1 ‘al, —total. . He tock his seat as [skort officer of the Convention The Rev. Dr. Bull was declared elected. returned a few brief words of thanks, and hope he would be able to discharge his duty with satis- faction toall. _ 5 A communication from the Right Rev. Bishop Onderdonk, was handed in by Rev. Dr. Tyng, which was not read, fromthe fact that the Con- vention had not fully organized itself for the trans- action of business. ‘ Communications were received from Lay Dele- gates claiming geats—a finance committee appoin- ted—after which, on motion of Dr. Tyng, the Con- vention adjourned unul to-morrow morning. The Convention was in session about two hours and ahalf. That its proceedings will be of an im- portant character no one doubts ; but whether Bish- op Onderdonk will be'dealt with as his offences—if true—deserve, is matter of epeculation. He is eith- er guilty of the most criminal acts, or he ts a much abused and injured man. If the latter, I cannot conceive why histriends desire the Church to enter into no investigation, but quietly accept his resigna: tion! This is a great world, composed of strange and wonderful material. “ Larrers.” Muisrry in Canapa.—His Excellency, the Gov- ernor General, has been pleased to make the fol- lowing. appointments, viz: ‘The Honorable William Henry Draper, to be Attorney General, fo: that part of the Province, formerly Upper Canada. The Honorable William Morris, to be a member of the Executive Council of the Province of Canada, and alto Receiver General. Denis Benjamin Papineau, Esq , to be a member of the Executive Council of the Province of Canada, and also Commissioner of Crown Lands. James Smith, Esq., to be a member of the Executive Council of the Province of Canada, and also to bea Queen’s Counsel in and for that part of the Province formerly Lower Canada, and Attorney General for the same. We mentioned, in our Extra of ye lay, that, we had reason to believe, His Excellency come to town for the purpose of being present at the swearing in of certain members of the Executive Ceuncil, and as will be seen above, the Canada Gazet'e Extraordinary, published in the afternoon, be confirmed what we had said. Of the four gentlemen called to the Council, the Hon. Messra Draper and Morris, have been long known tothe public, respected for their talents as statesmen, and esteemed as men of in. dependent and upright characters. Messrs. Papineau and Smith, have, hitherto been better known in private than in public life, but the high standing which the latter has, for years back, held in his profession, affords an abundant guarantee for his talents and acqnirements as a lawyer, and it is not to his fellow citizens here, that it cun be ne- censary for us to say one word regarding his estimable character asa man. Mr. Smith has, in times past, been too much devoted to the arduous labours of his profession to permit of his teking any very active part in politics but his opinios well known to have been of the most liberal cast, although, always limited within the boundo- riea of constitutional liberty, Of Mr, Papinean’s qualifica tions to preside over the very important iment to which he is appointed, we cannot to offer an opin ion, but we have every confidenee in the discernment of Excellency and the judgment jo ena Fae who ight him as a colleague — Montreal Herald, Sept.4 Low Warten.—The water in the river was low- er this morning than at any other time this season None of the larger class of steamboats were able to come abov the bar at Castelton — Albany Atlas, Sept. 5. Inrerestinc prom Tzxas.—We have received, by the arrival of the Republic, Crane, at New Or- leans, on the 28th ult., advices from Galveston to the 19th of last month. Ina letter from our correspondent at Galveston, which we annex, it will be seen that it is the opi- nion that the election of Dr. Jones to the Presi- dency is certain. Other accounts, however, are as certain of the choice of General Burleson. Dr. Jones 1s looked upon as opposed to annexation, and in favor of political, if not commercial inde- pendence. He sides strongly, however, in favor of a commercial alliance with England. His op- ponent, who is a very popular man for the fight- ing he has gone through for Texas, exerta all his influence for an alliance with the United States. Gatveston, Aug. 16, 1844. There has been some considerable sickness in Galveston of late. The yellow fever se: in here about the first of July, and has carried off some few of the acclimated, but has confined itself almost exclusively to the late European emigrants. It is said that about 150 persons have died gince it com- menced its ravages. There have been some cases in Houston also, but the country is generally healthy. Rete Age The crops of every description are promisiog— the corn crop especially is very abundant—more corn haying been made in some places than can be taken care of. The cotton picking season has commenced, aid rich rewards await the planter—it he can only have dry weather. The Len bh planters, though few as vet, are succeeding well. The trial of Commodore E. W. Moore has not yet terminated—what the result will be, no one can say at present—you shall be advised of the game 80 soon as it is known what the decision is. Our navy is being refitted to some extent. The election ot President, Vice President and members of Congress, will take place on the 2d of September. The Hon. Anson Jones, the present Secretary of State, it is, generally thought will be elected by a large majority over his opponent, Ge- neral Burleson. Mr. Jones, has always been a very prominent man in the country, and was chair- man of a Committee, at a public meeting at Co- lumbia in 1835—“ reported resolutions which re- sulted inthe assemblage of the convention, whence emanated that Declaration of Independence which proclaimed Texas dissevered from Mexico.” In 1837 he was elected to Congress from the county of Brazoria. In 1838 he was sent as minister to the United States. Atterhis return to Texas, he was e.ected to the Senate. In Dec., 1841, he was ap- ointed by President Houston Secretary of tate, which station he still holds with credit to himself and honor to the country. A better selection could not have been made in the country—for neither his honesty, his integ- rity, r his ability have ever been questioned K. t. Rhdereon will be elected Vice President, there being no jopposition to him, his opponent, Judge P. C. Jack, one of the most talented men in the country, having died a few weeks since. It has been reported that the Comanches had at- tacked Corpus Christi, but that has been contra- dicted by later arrivals from that neighborhood. General A. T. Howard, Charge from the United States, has arrived and is at this time in Washing- ton. He has already made a very favorable im- pression here. No appointment has as yet been made te supply the vacancy occasione by the death of the lamented A. M. Green, late United States Consul at this port. He was universally esteemed and respected by the citizens of this country. ABNEY. ‘The Hon, Richard Morris, District Judge, died at Gal- veaton on the 19th inst. Also, on the 6th, Maj. Taliaferro 8 Howard, in the 45th year of his age, Maj. H. emigrated to Texas from Mississippi in 1840. InpiaN AtTacks,—The Galvesten Civilian of the 10th saya :— y the arrival of the sloop ‘Tom Jack we have late ac: counts from Gerpus Christi No further Indian distur bances have taken place, and it is thought that the ma- rauders, (now generally believed to be remnant of the Li pans,) have gone to Mexico, in accordance with induce- ments from that country. These red skinned knaves have for mai ars been allowed to remain within our settle- ments, ind received protection from the wiki tribes, and have now probubly gone over to Mexico, in the hope of ing for similar favors with their characteristic in- gratitude and treachery. There is no further news or expectation that we can learn of an attack upon Corpus Christi by marauders from Mexico. Such an attack wus doubtless contemplated but probably failed from the want of a sufficient number of persons to render probable the success of the underta- king. ‘the Civilian of the 17th states that advices from Cor- pus Christi to the 11th inst. corroborate the above. We learn from the Houston Democrat of the 7th inst., that ‘‘a Mexican named Ariola, who had been pressed into the Mexican service and deserted, arrived at the house of his father in Montgomery county, a few days since, from San Fernandez. He states that active preparations are being made for an invasion of 'Texas.” On the other hand, the Civilian ef the 17th says: “By the last accounts, over land, from the Rio Grande, there were no indications of preparations to invade our territo- ry. It Mexico really intends to make war. upon which point we are skeptical, she can have made but little pro. gress as yet in getting ready.” ‘The Civilian remarks—“From every quarter we hear that cotton picking is progressing repidly, with undimin- ished prospects ofa good yield.” Later rrom Mexico.—By the J. W. Huntington, from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 13th inst., we have advices from the city of Mexico a little later than we had previously received. Our papers contain more of the correspondence between the Foreign Ministers resi- dent at Mexico and the Government of the country. We rcilious tone assumed by 1s the Spanish Minister.— rorrespondence at an end, in- asmuch as he would allow of no foreign interference with the internal affairs of the republic, and insisted upon the justice and policy of the infamous decree ef the 17th June, 1843, and expressed his determination to enforce it at ali hazards. ‘To this the Spanish Minister replied, that inasmuch asthe door toa discussion of the subject had been closed by the Government, and as any further dis cussion might preve useless, he should lay the whole cor- respondence betore the Government of Spain, whose duty it would become to say whether the affair should be thus terminated. Atthe same time he protested against the right of the Mexican Government to impose silence upon whomsoever may be honored “to speak inthe name of a nation which admits of no superior.” This show of spirit drew at once from Santa Anns, through Senor Monaste- rio, (uaving charge of the portfolio of the Minister of For- eign Affairs during Bocanegra’s absence) a letter of apolo- ey. He disavows any design of imposing silence upon the Spaniard, &c. As for the French Minister, Santa Anna gets rid of him by ‘announcing to Baron de Cyprey that the Mexican has ven instructions to its own representative in Paris to jay the whole matter in dispute directly before the Gov- ernment of Louis Phillippe, thereby rendering any further discussion in Mexico useless. Perfectly characteristic this! On the 22d of July the British Minister made a demand of this nature upon the government He states that he has rece.ved intelligence that en Irishman, named Wm. Hyland, who was on board the William A. Turner in the capacity of carpenter, suffered death with others taken with Sentmanat, and that he was executed without hav. ing been found in arms. He goes on to say, that while he abstains for the moment from expressing for opinion upon the melancholy information, he cannot allow himselt to doubt that Bocunegra, in the name of the Mexican gov- ernment, will furnish him with the necessary proofs at- testing that his unfortunate compatriot was not put to death without having first of all proceeded to grant him a trial, which, as a British subject, he had every right to expect. An explanation, he seys, is necessary, for the satisfaction ef the government and people of Great Bri- tain, and that it would have been demanded earlier had the name of the deceased been known te him. To this it is replied, that in the list of men executed as companions and accomplices of Sentmenat, tranemitted by Gen. Am- pudia, there is no such name as that pointed out ; but thi /hatever the case may be, British Minister may be assured and completely cot ced that every vi dual executed at Tobasco justly merited his fate, since Gen, Ampudia proceeded with predence, equity,ond such forme of law as the gravity of the case demanded, in con- firmation of which the release of the Englishman, Patter- son is cited, The Diario del Gobierne shows itself very indignant at the influence which the French exercise, ro endeavor. ing to exeraise, in the republic. They’ aim, it *, through the means of the press, to sow divisions between the ple and the Mexicon Government. It urges upon the President to investigate the matter, and if the authors of the offen: ticles be found to be Mexican, to have them punished; and further, it urges him to take the pro. per steps to rid the country of the foreign influence Seught te be exercised in the republic. El Siglo XTX, a8 we understand its reflections upon the decree of the 17th of May, denounces it as contrary to the organic bases of the government. ‘The Senate has approved of the project of a law for raising the money necessary for carrying on the war against Texas. Tho details would fill a column of our paper, and aro not particularly interesting. Taxes are proposed upon pretty nearly every thing that can bear tax ation ; but one article generously provides that the in. habitants of those interior departments, whether of the east or west, or those of Chihuahua, the Californias anc New Mexico, which are exposed to the incursions of the savages, or which may become the theatre of the war with Texas, shall be excepted from the payment of the taxes imposed by this law, at the discretion of the gov- ernment. In the Chamber of Deputies, the Committee to whom this law was referred made es on the 2d of August It insisted upon its former opinions, though with some modifications and additions. hus the millions required do not appear to be forthcoming. An Exrgpirion amono tux Inpians.—We learn from a gentieman who left Fort Leavenworth on the 10th of last month, that preperations were then in pro- ress among @ body of about five hundred U S$ dragoons, fo march westward under the command of Major Clititen Wharton. The objects ofthe expedition are to endeavor to make between certain Indien tribes thet have been a long time at war, to hold Councils with various tribes along the route, and te impress them with the ne- cessity of preserving peace among each other. Also by the display of a considerable and well appointed force, to convince them ef the ability of the United States to punish aggressions committed upon our citizens, while in the Indian country. Au artist is to sccompan: the expedition, to take sketches uf the Indian Counc: games, &c. We also learn that the Dragoons are in fine condition, and fully pared to act with efficiency — Major W. is one of the ablest officers of the army, and has been in command at Fort L. for some time. Tue Survivors og THe SaLapry’s Crew.—Carr and Galloway, the last of the human beings who left South America in the Saladin, have had their trial for piracy, and been again acquitted—as they were on the charge of murder. The management of the trial was somewhat curious. The jury, after hearing all the evi- dence, and being some time out deliberating, came into Court’ and said they could not agree. They told the Court that they were equally divided, one half being of opinion that the prisoners acted under compulsion, or the pressure of unavoidable circumstances—the other half that they went farther than the compulsion of itself urged them and therefore they were guilty. The Court sent the jury out again, and when they were gone a conversation was had between the Attorney General and the bench, on the question whether the disagreement of the jury should not be regarded as amounting to an acquittal ; by consent, the jurors were then recalled and discharged, a hew jury wes empannelled on the fxpot, to whom the Attorney Gen- eral related the facts proved before the other jury, and, without swearing any witnesses, submitted the case. The new jury immediately itted the prisoners. The treasure and other valuables saved from the wreck of the Saladin were shipped on board the mail steamer for Eng- land, which sailed on the 18th of August. Tue Season 1n Canapa.—The weather at Que- bec continues as unfavorable as ever. A warm temperature succeeded the late north easterly wind, and with the continued moisture, some early cut wheat which was not in a condition to be housed, has sprouted more more than an inch in length, and even taken root where it touched the ground. Great quaptities of hay which could not be made on account of the weather, are still out and rendered nearly worthless.
