Died, ( politically ,) at the City of Jefferson, of MORMON MANIA, on the 17th of Nov. the notorious Lilburn W. Boggs, in the fourth year of his reign. DIED Lilburn as a fool dieth, yea he gathered up his feet and slept with his fathers; and all the people rejoiced exceedingly. Thus has passed from the political arena one of the proudest, most cruel, and feeble despots, that ever swayed a princely sceptre [scepter]-his life, despised; his death unlamented.-[Communicated.]
