JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ.,
DEAR SIR
Alter protraced silence, / again sit down to re-.
late oyou SOME OF the on dts of this great and
Hourishing City of the Saints, yet in embryo, but
destined soon to be the great emporium OF the
West IN religion, literature, morals, government
learning and accomplishments, despite the opposi-
ton OF newspaper penny-a-lners and pulpit decaim-
ers, who pervert truth and traduce the innocent.
see by an article published in the Times and
Seasons, over the signature of Joseph Smith, that
some exceptions are taken to some publications of
yours in the Herald and if you should think the
gauntlet thrown, and as brave Knight bound to
take it up, we shall have the two great Napoeons,
one of the East, and the other of the West-one on
the shore OF the Mississippi, and the other on the At
lantic, clothed in armour, with lances poised,
battling for their respective empires, and if our
Western champions pen is as mighty as his olo-
pettor l therefore would advise a close husband
ry ofyour resources, as there will be blows to re-
ceve as well as to give, though all in good feeling,
pendence but great mind seeks greatness when
it wants an object upon which it may bestow its en-
ergies-although the mighty combat NAV not cause
rivers of blood to flow and the plains to be beached
with human bones-although the earth may not rock
to and fro like a drunken man, and the Eagle de-
scend from her lofty seat and flap her wings upon the
tomb OF liberty, still deem our cause of sufficient
importance to declare boldly for our champion, and
for whose success and immortal honor we pledge
our lives and our sacred hOnors.

plaintiffs wife in the character Of a physician. The
case occupied the time of the court for two days
Several learned and skilful NJ DIS were examined,
and edited the court whole day in illustrating the

decorum, and also manifested considerable know

Ihad the pleasure, short time since, of looking
tiemen assembled at the house Of Professor Risdon
A choice collection of beautiful ladies graced the
party with their presence, who disseminated their
smiles and Establishments with nearly as much eff
feet upon the wights present as does the immortal
Cupid himself when he wings the best barbed arrow
from his culver The walls resounded and reverber-
ated with the 'melodious notes of song, and Joy
and gladness reigned supreme; The venerable host

ed up and beaming with peace and happiness at the
animated scene around him. The Miss Rs
and the Miss lis sang enchantingly. Miss

of fawn and an eye like the eazelle, for the first
time appeared, and added rich gem to the beauty
and fashion Of Napyoo. Miss B. looked as

enjoyment, with due regard to the high moral and
intellectual condition of mankind.

Our Prophet Joseph Smith has obtained his free

deemed and disenthralled by the genius oil our fe-
dera Institutions. The charter of oul city has been
attacked by the legislature of the State, Ibut the
So we go, overcoming all opposition, and rising
triumphant over all religious preudices bigotry, and
moderation. With the bible for a standard, that
mighty engine of TRUTH welded with dexterity and
power, this church is peering her head above the
religious horizon, to set in the very zenith, and
from her meridian height dart forth her reiulgent
rays to the uttermost bounds of the earth. The
leader, with gigantic mind, and indomtable cou-
rage, wraps himself in the ample folds Of the const
tuition, and bids defiance to the snarling ours that
growI and grind their teeth. Foe after foe falls
pushed at his feet, while he bestows upon them one
single look Of tender pity and forced emile at their
folly and temerity. few days since, he delivered
a speech in the City Council on the constitution,
which would have done credit to the God like

the coming contest, but as friend only advise you
Of facts, so that you may use the precaution Of
skilful general who arranges his army according to
the forces which he is to meet. Our winter has
been very severe, with good seighing nearly all
winter, and the Mississippi ice-bound since Novem-
Der til! the present. time. Our city Is improving
very fast, considering the inclement season. Our
enterprsing townsman, DR.. r. D. Foster, has row
of buildings going up, and the foundation of large
hotel near the Temple We expect large access
sion to population on the opening OF the spring.
We expect this to be place Of general resort for
travellers through the summer season, 1t being a
place which excites more curiosity than any other
in the west. Our accommodations will be good,
and it is one of the most beautiful places in the
world. Yours, A GENTLE.
