Highly Important from the Mormon Coun-
cry ora the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF the
Latter Day Saints---Thc New Revelation
going ahead.
Yesterday we received highly important dispatches
from our espondent, who resides in Nauvoo, the
chief city Of the Mormons on the Mississippi
called by the Latter Day Saints the beautiful city OF
God.
This intelligence is of the most interesting and Gu
rioas character.
The Mormons under the guidance of their great
prophet and seer, the famous Zoe Smith, are organlz
ing religious empire in the far west that will astonsh
the world in these latter days Civil, religious, MIL
tary judicial, social, moral, advertising, commercial
orranzation are all embraced within The compre-
hensiveness of their system-or their new reve-
Iatien fresh from God himself, in then own enthu
sastc language The astonishing mixture OF world
ly prudence and religious enthusiasm-ot perfect
system and wild imagnation-o Of civilized reason
with ancient deas-of religious observance and mi
tary organization, is without parallel in the his
tory of nations since the time OF Mahomet. The
model of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet seems to
be the great Jewish legislator, Moses. Both com
bined religious, political, moral, and social IN
Saviour of the world and his disciples separated
these awful elements of despotism, and gave to re
aion separate distinct intellectual, ETHEREAL mo-
raj impulse of its own, fit to promote happiness here
and beat,itude hereafter The corrupiions of the
church, in the time of Constantine the Great unit
ed all these, under the general name of Councils.
This banefu combination produced the awful and
despotic Roman Hierarchy, till the majestic genius
of Luther like another apostle Paul. rose up and Sc
narrated the elements again and re established the
principles of Jesus of Nazareth.
The numerous sects-the contrariety of opinions
the corruption of the times, have increased to such
degree, that every now and then the masersplrlts
in religion rising up every where, and attempt
inc TO unite the same elements that The Roman En-
peror did-and to frame empire that can be con-
troled by religious opinions asne. Such is the
policy of the Right Reverend Bishop Hughes of this
city-and such is the direction which his holiness,
JOSEPH Smith, President of the Church OF Latter Day
Saints, gives on their beautiful banks of the Mlssis
sippi. This counry-this singuarly constituted re-
public is the field for these isolated and wonderful
efforts of religious genius and religious ambition.
