We have news from Utah Territory to the 6th ‘oh,, which ioa week later than previous advices. ‘The Mormons in the valley of the Great Salt Lake were anticipating a famine. Tha.crickets, grasa- boppere and locusts devoured everything in the fields and gardeps, and, in spite of active snd un- ecasing efforts to counteract their depredations, ‘there was little hope of the crops arriving at ma‘u- sity. Add to thia calamity the ravages of the In- Gins—who seem to have sgain broken from the contro] of the whites—and it will be admitted that ‘tbe Latter Dsy Saints are in a bad way, tossy no- ‘Ming of flour selling at six dollars per hundred, ead very scarce at that price. In view of thie state of things, Brigham Young, who had just returned from a jaunt through the country, delivered an address, wherein he advised the faith- tol to take ebort excursions with their families, tak- ‘mg care, however, to leave the babies at home. Young acknowledges to the possession of ninety Wives and of children a multitude, ani ba believes WH would promote their health and cheer them up to earop cut. The ravages of the imsao's and the total destruction of the crops, suggest the probability of the Mormons abandoning their settlementa at Great Balt Lake ity. Supplies cannot bs procured nearer than San Bernardino, which is eight hundred miles @isiant, and the excursions recommended by the Governor may be but the preliminary to a general movement. Hon.

Governor Reever ann tan Kansas Lrors- LaTURE.—The Governor of Jpencas has been ac- tively engaged in vetoing the bills of the new Legislature, who, in their turn, have been amasing themselves by passing their bills over hie head. It is still rumored that, for the sake ef peace, the Governor will be removed. Very likely; bat in deference to Colonel Forney, the change will most probably be delayed tiii ‘the Legislature a@journs. While the Kitchen is ywith the Governor, the Missourians must be patient, Mexkeo—Progvess of tho Revolaticnists— ino, ther Tctxas Movement—Ouar Policy. Ont Jatest advicer from Mexico represent the progress of the revolutionists ia that couatry, from Matamoros to Ac vpulco, os almost certain to result eitner in the overthrow of Santa Aaoa and a complete reconstruction of tf ceatral government, or In the secession of three or tour of the Northern and Western States, and their organization into an independent republic, a la Texas, with precisely the same ultimate object in view. A glance at the revolutionary move- ments on the Pacifle side, and-on the Rio Grande, and their formidable character, ad- monish us that « crisis is at baud in Mexican effairs of the highest importance to that un- happy couniry, to us, and to the “balance of power” on this continent. Under the leadership of Vidanri, and the inextinguishable Carvajal, the Northern revo. Jutionists were marching down from Monterey upon the towns of the Rio Grande, their desti- nation being Matargeros. There they will have to meet Gen. Well, ome of Sante Anna’s most ae- tive officers im te war with the Texas, a man of touch experience and undonbted courage and skill in bos@er fighting; but represented to be sad- ly deficient in troops. The prevailing belief, in consequence, was that Woll would be vanquish- ed-—that the independence of the Northern Statce of Mexico will be speedily secured, and that their “manifest destiny” will very soon appear in a proposition for annexation to the United States. The rebels under Alvarez, Comonfort and others, on the Pacific coast, whos2 headquarters are at Acapulco, reem to bold a secure footing in that quarter of the republic. His Serene Highness has made several campaigns of late in that direction ; but, thus far, he shows that since his invasion: of Texas, and his campsigns of 1847 against Gen. Taylor and Gen. Scott, he has learned that prudence isa military quality which is sometimes safer than reckless despera. tion. In a word, the once dashing Napoleon has become the Fabius of Mexico, and a perfect mode! of discretion, in keeping out of harm’s way. Butif,as appears to be the case, there is active defection in the capital, as well as open revolution at the extremities of his do- minions, we may conclude that the dynasty of Santa Anna is drawing toa close, and that a new act in the drama of Mexican affairs is ot hand, involving a decisive revolution in the government of the whole confederacy. Let us suppose that the Northern revolu, tionists are successful, and that Alvarez, march- ing from the West upon the central capital, expels the Dictator and takes his place in the name of the revolutionists, the question arises, what is to follow? A counter revolution to supplant Alvarez, or the division of the coun- try into two or three or half a dozen inde- pendent republics, efter the fashion of the States which once formed the republic of Central America? We cannot tell—we cannot very clearly conjecture; but it ie quite likely that after thirty odd years of revolutionary and Tuinous, and blcody and demoralizing experi- ments at self-government, the intelligent and influential of the Mexican people will second the movement of Carvajal, and carry over the whole republic, from the Rio Grande to Yucatan, and from Vera Cruz to Mazatlan, in favor of annexation to the great North Ameri- can Union. Meantime we have had some hints thet Santa Anna and General Gadsden have been talking over the cession of another slice of Chibaahua, and Sonora and Lower Czliformia, for another supply in hard cash of ten or fifteen or twenty millions of dollars. Upon this point we have a word of advice to suggest to the administration, and especially to Marcy, responsible for its diplomacy, end to Guthrie, responsible for ‘the safe keeping, transfer and disbursement of the public moneys.” Let all negotiations entered into, or projected, for the aequisition of more territory from Mexico be suspended until the struggle shall have been devisively settl between Santa Anns and the revolutioniete, We have alreedy paid ten millions of doliars for the subjugation of the Mexican people, and their reduction to a despotism. Is not that encugh from a democratic administration sup: posed to sympathize with the sublime doctrine of squatter sovereignty ? Let there be no further contribations from our public treasury to support his Ssrene Highness, who does not seruple to sell the land ot his people to enable him the better to rale them ss their master, The thing is inconsis- tent with American notions of ‘non-interven- tion,” and is bad policy besides, in 2 finaacial view. What folly it is to be paying,every two or three yeare, ten, fifteen or twenty millions of dollars for a strip of Mexican territory, when, if we let them alone and shut off all sup- plies to Santa Anna, the whole country, within a year or two, may be offered to us ass free gift, “without money and without price,” by the sovereign people thereof. At this mo- ment the troops and the arms employed by his Serene Highness in the desperate task of re- ducing his unwilling people to submission, were paid for, or procured, through the ten mil. lions of our money, thrown sway for the pur- chase of tbat frightful desert koown as the Gadsden country. We advise Secretary Guthrie to set bis face against all Gadsden treaties, from this time henceforward, in reference to Mexico. All his turplus revenues will be wanted for more use- fal objects than the purchase of Mexican wild lands which we may have in good time for nothing. It strikes us that Santa Anna has been a sort of pet with Marcy, ever since they let him into Mexico in 1846; but we think the time has come when his Serene Highness may be dropped as © bad bargain. That “pases,” during the Mexican war, was a disastrous blunder, and the Gadeien treaty was a very sorry affair, both as a land speculation and as a bit of diplomacy. Let us have no more such treaties, however piached and etraitened Marcy’s Mexican pet may be for the needfal supplies with which to “crush ont” the last vestiges of the liberties of his people. ‘We presume that Mr. Pierce, Marcy and all Concerned, will see to it thet our treaty obli- gations with Mexico are not violated by Ame- rican filibnusters in this clvi? war; and that our side of the Rio Grande shall not become a mili- tary rendezvous for Carvajal and his asso- ciates. But, on the other and, let no more sinews of war be supplied to Santa Anna Let the doctrine of fair play and « pon-interven. and the revolutfonists Above all, with “ manifest destin: | into euch bold relict that n.

The Augwst Hilections, Five States will bold their general elections curing the month of August, to wit :— be seen by the above, the elections ia Tenuese¢e and North Carolina will take place en the 2d proximo. In the former State a Governor and ten members of Congress are to be chosen, and the most intense excitement has manifested itself during the canvass, as our readers have been able to jadge by the various letters and speeches from the distinguished mea of the State, which we have trom time to time given. The contest will be strictly between the democrats and Know Nothings, no other party having ventured on an organization. The old whig party seems to have been effectu- ally used up in Tennessee, and the leadere sud membere thereof are pretty equally distributed between the Know Nothings democrats. The following is as complete a the can- didatee as far as we have been to cbtaip them :— TOR GOVERNOR, Dem. EK. N. Andrew Jobnsen. Meredith P, Gentry. FOR, MENEERS OF CONGRESS, Dis, Dem.

In Alabama, a Governor and seven members of Congress are to be elected; and in this State, too, the contest will be between the democrats and Know Nothinge. The canvass has been a warm one, and the strength of the two parties will no doubt be fully shown im the result of the vote for Governor.

Crawford, in- dependent, is up in the Third, and General Ro- bineon, secession democrat, and Willam H Crenshaw, Union whig, are in opposition to the regularly nominated candidates in the Fourth. In Texas the old party lines are entirely ob literated, and even the factions have been gab- divided by local questions. The democrats, at the time of our last advices, bad not formed a State ticket, although Governor Pease was running by common consent for re-election The Know Nothings had held their State con- vention and nominated the following ticket, which had also been endorsed by a river im- provement convention :— Covernor—D. ©, Dick son Lieut. Governor—W. GW. Jowers Commissioner Gcneral Land Office—Steprer Crosby, We find the following candidates running fer Congress :— First Disirict—George W. Chilton, Mills, K.N.; L. D. Bane, id District—Peter dem.; C. W, Buckley, ind. The result of these elections, especially in North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennesseo, will indicate to a very cousiderable extent the tirength or weakness of the Know Nothings in the South, The Virginia eleccicn, clogged with the abominable and seditious doings ot the outside Know Nothing Massachusetts Legislature, was not a fuir test. The new party in Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, tince they have cut aloof from the anti-slavery wing of the North, and pro- claimed their Philadelphia platform, oan do better. Let the American party in the three States aforesaid remember that the cohesion of New York and the campaign of 1856 may de- pend very much upon these August el ctions From the Old North State aronud to the Oulo river, both parties are sanguine of suecess, and dexs.; John 7 isd.; Mat, Ward, ind, Bell, dem.; Joho Hancock, di ubiless the entire strength of the democracy, without regard to the administration, wiil be brought ous against ihe Koow Nothiogs. I: is incumbent, theretore, upon this party to bring their whole force to bear upon these Soathera elections. Tun Norra ano THe Sours —In another column we give & signifioant article trom the Redmond Warg, on the subject of the recent outrage to Mr, Wheeler and his servants at Philadelphia. It ie no longer scfficieatly expressive of the actual condition of things in this country to say there is a tendency to the formation of two great sectional partice. It is already s move- ment—a decided, active movement. The North ie being drilled into a pian of warfare against the institutions of the South. No effort is loat to inftict injury upon citizens of the South—no means unemployed to impress upon them the idea that we will not perform the obligations of the consiitntion in reference toslaves. Mas- sackusettsis in open rebellion; Pennsylvania, New York and Okio, and, indeed, tae whole North, are rapidly moving to the same point. That the end of atl thie, unless checked by timely action, wili be the organization of the two great sections e? the Union into hostile parties— that it will drive the South to the de- fence of its property and ike protection of its citizene—that it will sink the government: into ® relentless fend and a servile war, it requires Lo prophet to foretell. When the consiitation fails to secure the ends for which it was adopted, not !1 the glo- rions memories of the past, net all the material wealth and prosperity of the present, not all the premises ef the future, can sustain it as a covenant of the anion of the Statea. If there was no other reason than that which re quires nearly half the parties to the compact to surrender rights which are guara teed by it, on the mere demand of the other copartners, it would be snfficient to insure she dowafall of the government, Not only the rights secured must be held sacred, bus the opinions of those en- titied to theix enforcement onght alse to be respected. ‘% is folly to expect to reap the fruits of union without complying with its essential con- ditions. Situated as the Uvited Mates are with reference to slavery, and he eondition of public sentiment touching its tendemcies and uses, it is impozsible not to see that an issue precipitated upon that question must end in the most fatal consequences to both sections. There is no government when it fails, by the delibe- rate action of ite parts, to fulfil ite just obliga- tions. The subs‘itution ef mere moral disin- fectants for solemn covenants forfeited—the repeated assertions that a legal outrage will end in wealth nnd prosperity to the supposed injared pazty—will do little to preserve the governmens or to satiefy the sufferer. We commend this sabject to thoughtfal men in the North. Crry Taxes—For what purpose the biun- dezers who compile the estimates of city taxes omitted, in the table first published, all the es- timates for schoo! purposes, that for lamps and gas, that to maze up for the deficiency in taxa- tion in 1854, the quarter mill tax to make up the State tax, and a variety of other items amoanting altogether to about $1,728,000, we can only conjecture; certain it is that accord- ing to the table ser? in to the Supervisors on Tuesday, the total levy was stated to be $2,393,600, which every one saw fell considera bly short of the true sum. On Wednesday, the correct estimate was printed, showing the whole mount required tobe $4,121,260, or $1,727,660 more than the report of the firet day’s pro- ceedings of the Board of Supervieore bad stated as the sum needful. ‘+ is presumable ‘rat the Comptroller is re- sponsible for the careless omission in the first assessment rol! of the personal property of non- residents. Mr Flagg surely knew of the receat law: one is at a loss to imegine from what cause he conld have neglected a duty so plainly devolved uponbim. Whatever the reason may have been, it is quite clear tha: the asseasment roll would have contained a specification of $14,500,000 less taxeble property than itehould have shown, and the non-residents would have escaped taxation once more, bad it uo4 been for the vigilance displayed by Aldermac Ey, who Tefused to pass it without the insertion of the omitted item. Whatever motives may have been at work, it is piain they inflzeoced the Alderman leas chan tne Compirolier. The item—the ezach figaces being $14,491,130-—-was though Lis in- fluence added to the assessment ro!l, and some $170,000 are thus saved ‘o the olty, in spite of Comptroiler Plagg. It is not alistle curious that so many of the old manicipal reformers and members of the redoubtable Peter Cooper pariy should turn up as non-residents in this supplementary sche- dele, It is hardly neceseary to saention names; but it sppears that a number of those who acouple of years sgo made such a bcbbub about the increase of taxes and the necess!ty for paralyzing checks on the city, were ia reali- ty quite disinterested on the subject. They did business here ; enjoyed the protection afforded by the police and military; were benofitted by all the municipal regulations respecting cleanliness; had their property watched by the fire companies; bat when it came to payicg— why, they Jived in Europe, or among *be mus. quitoes on Long Istand, in some dreary flat in Jersey, or in the fever-andsyue marshos of Staten Island, and paid $25 year for all taxes. That these men—whether municipal reformers or not—should escape taxation; chet they should enjoy the benetits of a system which they abused, shough is was cheap enough to them, was 20t at alito be expected or desired. And though the negligence or partiality of Mr. Flagg very nearly secured them another year’s cheap living and exemption from taxes we may congratulate ourselves that the mis chief was discovered in time, and that the day - of cheap biise for the non-residents are over. Taree Srrance Powitrcryxg at Wasuivo- ton.—Our Ws-hiogton correspondent informs us tbat a number of leading New York politicians were in the former city the other day, and that Jobn Cocbrane, George Sanders and Mike Wolsh were conspicuous among them. Oar informant, in view of this uneeasonable ga- thering wi the deserted national capital, asks “What's ap?” So do we. Possibly some echeme is afoot for the reunion of the New York democracy apon some new Kitchen Cabi- net platform. But we cannot, upon that hypo- thesis, account for the presence of George San- ders im Waehington with Joha Cochrane and Mike Waleb. The first, we believe, is a Know | Nebhing, aad Lo favor of George Law aguiass the field ; the second ie Mr. Pierce's boitie- holder in Tammany Hall, and the third ise bard shell disgusted with all sorts of parties end politicians, and ooly ambitious for the shades and the cool philosophy of private lite. Perhaps, however, they were all three at Wash- ington together in reference to some Kitchen Cabinet town lot or lend speculation in Wis- consin, Kansas or California. What’sup? Who koows? Youne Arnica Once Mors—Cororep Men to BE NomimaTeD ror Orrice.—Two or three weeks since we had occasion to comment upon the calling of a State Convention of colored men, to meet at Troy on the first of September. We pointed ont to the free negroes of this State the hypocritical course of the white abolition- ists, and took occasion to commend the action of the leaders of the Young Africa party, in coming out boldly and endeavoring to emanci- pate themselves from the control of those de- signing white men, who, under the cloak of philanthropy, have awindled the negro out of his bard earned savings. We are pleased to learn that our couusels have had their proper weight, and in testimony thereof we present the subjoined letter from one of the eigners of the cali for the Troy Con- vention :— THE EDITOR OF TH NEW YORK HERALD. ay Aupayy, July 24, 1655. I see by the Heratp of this day week, that you have spoken of the convention which is to meet at Troy on the fizst Tuesday in September. Your notice, of that convention, bas, it appears, created a great deal of umeasiness among my white abolition friends. I see nothing wrong in the gentleman!y article of the Hmritp. My qhite svoli friends charge me with trying to make divisions in abolition f creating preju- dice against color. Now. sic, twenty-five years of expe rience convinces me that if we, the colored people. are to be anything, we must commence the work ourselves; we can bet er the condition of one another by bang united. Igo in for colored mem publishing newapipers, their being educsted for school teschers, and giving our children ehucation to become farmers and mechaazics, and to follow ali industrial pursuits to secure an hoaes’ Helibood. It is true that I did get ups call for a Colorad State Convention, ani lam not asbamed to call it a Colored Convention. I want the colored peop'e of this State to meet together for the purpose of holding a political soa- vention, We want to nominate colored men for office. We have able and intel! gent men among us, and we ia- tend to neminste Frederick Dougless for member of As- sembly from the county of Mosroe; James W Du‘tin, from the county of Ontario; aod Wm. Rich, from the compty of Re: laer. For the Sepate, Dr. J. McCane Smith, from st in the city of New York, and a mamber of other worthy colored men ; and we want our peat abolition frends to come up and suppor: this ticket. Iam very sorry thet your article has made our frienis uneas ‘We have not bad thirty thousand doliara put into eur bande for prestee ani other purposes.

I remain, your eee Ree) We have alweys been in favor of emigration and colonization, both for the free blacks aud for those who are held to service and labor. The abolition organs have abused us without stint for advocating this doctrine, because they knew that the departure of the negroes from the United States would deprive them of a great deal of money which they receive by voluntary contributions of the free colored men inthe North. We are glad to see that the colored men have resolved to put an end tothis wwindling, and to make an effort in their own bebalf previous to the hegira which must take Place sooner or later. The convention at Troy will put in nomina- tion for the Senate and Assembly such men as Dr. Smith, Fred Douglass, and our correspond- ent, Mr. Myers. These persons have often been lauded to the skies by white abolitionists, and the result wil! be considered as a test of their sincerity. Will the white sympathisers come forward and vote for these men? Will Greeley and Raymond, chiefs of the Seward free soilers, accept the tickets thus nominated? Ifthey do not, let us hear no more fine-spun arguments about the elevation of the colored race, from such sources.

It seems that the emissaries of Seward, with the tempting bait of a Northern anti-slavery alliance for the Presidency, have been scattering the seeds of discord and dis- ruption in the American camp all over the State, and are stillatit. Thus, we are assured that Satan end his imps are in every Council, and that Thurlow Wer d holds the reins. Now, according to our information, there were, a month ago, 185,000 enrolled members of the regular American Councils of this State. The Seward coalition vote last fall was a little over 156,000; the vote for Seymour (democrat), falling only three hundred or so behind that of Clark, also exceeded 156,000; that for Bronson (democratic hard shell) was less than 40,000, while the Know Nothing vote for Ullman was something over 120,000. If the Know No- things, therefore, have since increased to 185,000, they are the most powerful party in the State. They have only to hold together to carry the State; while, on the other band, they will gain nothing, and lose everything, by ® junction with the Seward alliance or a split upon the nigger question. We think the Know Nothings have acted wisely in dispensing with the State Council, at first proposed to be heid at Syraeuee ia Sy; tember, simultaneously with the piebald cop- ventions of the Seward negro worshippers. Let the new party keep aloof from these seditious conrpira‘ors against the Union, and let the Know Nothing strength be coucentrated upon an independent movement ia November in this State, and the results will give them the inside track for e general reorganization for the nation- al sweepstakes in 1856, of seventy-five millions & year for at east four years in succession. Lat Satan and bis imps be expelled from the camp. Let the negro question walt awhile. Kansas meantime will take care of itself. State issues —such as the Liquor law—the question of taxes, official corruptions, &., are the proper subjects for our November canvass, especially as neither the election of a United States, Senator nor of asolitary member of Congress depends upon the result. Porvnating Saker VILLacEs.—We leara that a deputation from the Sbaker village of Lebsnon, in this State, consisting of a brother in the faith, and two sisters, are now in this city on the mission of huntiog proselytes and children to keep up the population of their vil- lage. As celibacy is part of their religious be- lief, and nosexual intercourse permitted, their oply mode of keeping up the'r society is hy prosely tizing children, and rearing them in their settlements. On Tuesday this deputation visit- ed Randall’s Island, and by permission of tha Ten Governors secured twenty children from the institution there—cleven boysand nine irks, The children on the island rome nine hundred —when the Shakers arrived, were all stood ap in @ Tow, ead they Wore BLowed bo ko Lhoir | Dick from among them. Aside from the ridign- Jons dogmas which will be taught them, the children could not be placed in a home where they will be made more comfortable, or where moore pains will be taken to contribute to their happiness. From here the deputation will visit Philadelphia and otber cities. We understand the society at Lebanon are allowed to have five hundred children in their villege continually, while at the present time they have but about three hundred. Benny Toe Aoz.—The Democratic State Convention cf Vermont the other day adopted ® series of resolutions approving and commend- ing the policy of President Pierce’s adminis- tration. We presume that they incladed the bombardment of Greytown, as the most defi- nite measure of Mr. Pierce’s war policy. In Tammany Hall the “unterrified” are alittle far- ther advanced. They have adopted the saving alternative of dropping the administration. The Green Mountain democracy are behind the age. THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPH, Frem Washington.
