=. The Legisiatare.--It will be seen, in the course
Of the legislative proceedings, which necessarily
occupy large share of this paper. that the Legs-
lature will hold afternoon sessions during the re-
mainder Of their sitting. This will enable them
to facilitate business, and give the members an OPP
portunity Of soon returning to their homes. Thus
far, they have not been called upon to act in mat
tiers Of very great Importance yet they have pas
sed a number Of bills. which, when they become
laws, we should think, would have salutary ten,
dency. We observes that the Mormons have pc.
titioned his Exceilency Governor Baldwin, for
permission to establish themselves in this State-
We do not believe the Governor, who is affirm sup
porter Of rational and Scriptural Christianity. as
we'll as Of sound law and order, will grant their
petition. Nor DOVE think, that the Legislature
will be disposed to- sanction it. Unfortunately, the
Mormons seem to be carried away with the rdicu--
lous idea, that wheel may exist within a'wheel;
Or one dependent government, no matter how alb
surd and homogeneous, may exist within another,
without acknowledging any obligation to observe
the governing laws Of the land, under which ir
processes to seek protection. II the Mormons,,
then, will give up their preposterous notions Of
ultra, and fanatical, and even hierarchal, if not
kingly independence, and demean themselves as
peaceful, orderly, and upright citizens, they will
find Connecticut as willing to receive them as any
people in the world. But she cannot suffer her
own rights to be tempered with, by admitting the
serpent of discord within her bosom. .r
