gons beyond the Rocky Mountains. We give in
another column the correspondence which took
place between the leaders of the Mormons and Of
their prosecutors The whole affair, from begin

of the Mormons may lead to good. The will pro-

of powerful community. The expressions of the
Hebrews by the Egyptians, caused their flight from
that land, and after crossing the ocean and the will
derness, they settled in the land of Canaan, and
there produced revolution that civilized the whole
world.
But no intelligent patriot can regard these out
breaks of popular violence in this country without
the deepest sorrow. They are eagerly seized upon
by the monarchists Of Europe, and by the enemies
of republican government every where, and made
the foundation OF arguments against the safety and
practicability OF free institutions Of such charac-

very true that Cassius M. Clay pursuing an in
cendary and obnoxious course but the exercise Of
mob law, In utter defiance of every principle of JUS
tce, was calculated to infict on the country still
greater evil and shame. In this State we have had,
recently alarming exhibitions Of the same spirit Of
outrage and resistance to the aws but, happily, by
the faithful exercise of the power Of the Judiciary,
the supremacy of the law has been vindicated, and
the aggressors visited with prompt and merited
punishment.
All these manifestations OF spirit of rebellion
and disorganization, may be traced to the dsorga-
nzlng and demoralizng' influence of such crazy, ia
natical and revolutionary "reformers" as those who

sense and sagacity of the American people, sustained
by fearless and independent press, will always be
able to subdue the destructive tendencies Of fanati-

LEOPOLD DE MEYER.-This "lion pianist" as he
is universally styled in Europe, will make his first
appearance in America on Monday next, at the
Park and the excitement which his arrival in this
country has called forth in the musical and fashion,
able world, is indescribabe. Those who have heard
him are quite bewildered, through his stupendous
power and brapome, and still more delighted
through the matchless grace and delicacy of his
playing Our most competent musicians do not
hesitate in placing him above any pianist, not even
Lszt and Thalberg accepted During the few days
been visited by many Of our most distinguished citi
zens, but all the musicians without any distinction
of country or nation, have paid their respects to
this wonderful man. We are glad TO see this una
