THE MORMONS.


An acquaintance Of ours, who migrated
from the neghborhood ofChilicothe some
four years ago, and settled in Hancock
county, Illinois, adjoining the "ciiy oil
Nauvoo," having become disguised with
his Mormon neighbors and returned 10 his
old residence, has given US some infor-
nation in regard to the slater day saints"
and their city.
Nauvoo is the largest town in Illinois
there are about 5000 inhabitants there
men, women and children. The State has
granted charter to them containing un.
usual privileges. The city council have
coordinate leg slalive jurisdiction with the
Legislature of Illinois in all things moi
forbidden by the State Constitution. The
corporate limits are not defined and cir
cumscribed, except as the counc may
from time to time enact, so that whenever
a new tier of lots is laid out III the neigh
borhood, they come at once under the
Mormon government. An ordinance Of
the city imposes fine OF $500 on any
person who may speak disrc specifuily oil
Joe Smith or his deception within the limits
Of the city. So obnoxious have the Nor
mons become to the people Of Hancock
county, that efforts TO have the city char
ter repealed were made last winter, but
they were defeated in the House by vote
Of 60 to So.
The Nauvoo Legion consists Of some
1900 or l400 men-well drilled in cavalry
and infantry tactics, all under the command
Of Gen. Joe. These have also corporate
law, which colleges them to parade once a
month, armed cap-a-pie, and invests them
with privileges which the militia of illinois
do not possess. Tie Mormons make their
boast that so soon as their legion shall
number $500 men, they intend to invade
Missouri, whence they were expelled five
or six wears ago. vt
Joe Smiths private character is as bad
as might be expects d, when his Ignorance
and arrogance are considered. He is
self wiled, vindictive and passlonatr; and
though he can and does "curse like a
trooper" his deluded followers are none
the less obsequious. a few years ago
the Illinois Legislature granted hun aid
his associates "charter" as company
whose object was to erect building loI
charitable purposes. The building was
put up, at an expense Of Sl50,00O, when
Smith declared the company dissolved
and coolly took possession OF the magnifi'
cent edificc, appropriatlng il to hImsel
as private residence, Such the wicked
humbuggery, which is encouraged By har
in state so execrably governed as Hi
nois is. The votes Of the Mormons fol
their party have hitherto been considered
a sufficient inducement to grant them any
privileges their leaders might have the
impudence TO demand. --Sciofo Gazette.

ne I6DfNE a.
Tie National 1ntelgencer OF May ID,
has the following article on the subject Of
The recent rImors in refei ence to Mr..
Webstn's movements:
The distant papers are fall of rumors
Of changes in the Cabinet, or al Ices, OF
one importan. change in the rctremc Mt Of
Mr.. Webster froh the office Of Secretary
Of State, and the appointment of sue
cessor. Some Of our cotrmporar es have
found place for the rttirlhg Secretary
in the London mission, in the pIace Of Mr..
Everett, should that gentleman acceptthe
appointment to China.
We believe, from what we hta ar, that il
is true that Mr.. Webster will resign his
situation in the ID partmt nj OF STATE in a
few days; but we do not credit id a,
that in any event, he would be eppo nte d
to the London miss on. That he wouli
be willing to go abroad, for a particular
or specific object Of importsnce-on OBJ
ject Of such character. for example, as
that hintcd IN the New York Courier and
Enqnirer of Thursday-is probable e.
nough; but we hardly imagiue that he
would leave the country 10 take upon
himself The duties OF sn ordinary and
Standing Legation. Indeed, We under.
stand that Mr.. Webster has ~ present
neither any desire nor any expectation OF
going abroad at ell. So, at l. asl, say his
friends, who are likely 10 be we'll 10
formed.
The New York CImm' rel | Advert
ser Of Monday afternoon, which is god
authority on the subject, says
Mr.. Secretary Webster viii not, as he
had intended to do, leave the C4orct to
day, it being desirable on oil hands, tina,
he should remain until the matter of the
Chinese missionis settled. II is exp cited
that the steamer due the middle Of TIL.
week will bring advices from Mr.. Eve
rett, announcing his decision as TO the &C.
ceptsnce Of that mission. Should he &C.
cept. it would be well fer Mr.. Webster ia
prepare his Instructions. And should he
not accept. equally important will it be
for the Secretary to assist in the new or,
rangement that will then be necessary.
In any event, however, Mr.. w. will re-
tire by the middle Of the month.
