items worthy OF note 10 y0nr public address, before
referred to. Thossh you have not seen fl TO an
srer my former letters in writing. yet was willing
to receive your verbal apology, TO wit: they we've
unsnswerable;" and that apology will remain good
in your behalf, II yos from that time control your
tongue, and keep in subsection that unruly member
which has caused you 80 much trouble; but that sir,
You cannot do while the poison Of aaps 10 In your
heart-you must spew it ont at your mouth-and
your tongue must be guided by the current thereof,
Tor the purpose OF degrading those who must ever
as,irgy DO your superiors
As hitherto, my time for this note is limited; bu.
wish to refer you to an expression IN your speech,
wben you remarked that the Mormon Battalion could
not consider il irksome to enlist, as they al want
ed to 90 to California and get gold and that many
gentlemen were DESTROYS of employing hands for
that purpose, and Of going themselves" Sc. Where
was you, sir, at the time this event transpired!
Was you in the sum- in the moon, in the starss or
you in the nethemost part OF hell with the door
locked and blind man hunting after the key, that
you should not know the fact that gold was not dis
covered in California until after the discharge OF the
Mormon Battalion, and then by two members OF
that battalion? and those two men, viz Messrs. IL
ford Hudson and Sidney Willis, who were present,
too. in the midst of your audience, and heard your
| foolifh, Ignorant remarkst
IL there not patbos-somethng peculiarly inte-
resting and sublime-in this part of your speecht
Is it not enchantingy philosophc to suppose, to in
fer without fear of contradiction, that the Mormons
wanted to enlist to go to California and get gold,
| when there was not a man on earth who knew, or
even suspected, there was gold for the digging in
Northern California? And neithcr was it to be known
until after those same men "who wanted to 60 and
get gold, had marched thither parched and I'M
tracked deserts, been disbanded, andtound the shin
ing ore, and reported it to the world. Do you not
| think ii was most sublime theme in the cars OF
those two men who found the gold, and the dear la
| dies of your audience, who were conscious Of the
facts, and had been left in the wilderness, unpvotec-
ed aud upprovided for, while their husbands had
choice, to dig for gold, when nobody earth sss-
pected its existence The subject is quite too mel
huous to write upon leave it for your vivid magi-
nation to picture it at your leisure, IN the light OF
legal science, and philosophy unanswerable.
| When you opened your remarks to the citizens OF
Utah, and especially to the ladies-for you hadhttle
to say to any one elsc-you remarked that ''you APP
| peared before them as humble citizen; that You
was one with them; that you wished to live with
| them and among them; and as n humble citizen You
should address your audience on that OCCASION" 10
a few moments, and scarce had the foregoing words
ceased to vibrate the ear, before you introduced
your ''virtuous appointment, as yirtuous man,
"emanating from a virtuous President as limited
in my former letter, and that 'you was one Of the
| supreme yirtuous Judges OF Utah territory and as
such you should address your audience, for yourself
and in behalf of your colleagues on your left, and
you should say aught that was not correct, they
would correct you, &c, &c Thus. almost at n
| BREATH you addressed the dear ladies OF Utah as
humble citizen and supreme Judge-for yourself MS
humble individual. and in behaE Of the supreme
bench
The transition Of your speech from humble ci.i-
zen, to yrtuous dge.suprenoe, was so sudden and
| unexpected that those present, who could think Of
nothing else meditatel the character Of the sublime
parsonage before Them in the fable of the pig and
the puppy. certain parishoner, wishing to com
plment his priest sent his servant, black Jack, with
| a pig in basket as Jack was passing the ale
house. his companions called him in, and while he
was drinking their hcal:h, they exchanged the pig
for puppy. jack went on nis way rejoicing, and
| informed the parson that masscr mad sent him a
pig The minister, happy in the prospect Of good
dinner, opened the basket, ana seeing the puppy

Garry it back to your master. and tell him not to
send me any more puppies" On returning. Jack
called at the ale house, and while ne was again
quafhng the health OF his comrades, they changed
the puppy into pig, and he returned to his MASTER
who exclaimed, "Well, Jack, what did the minister
say to the pig?' Minister say pig was puppy"
"What do you mean, you black rascal, minister
cay pig was a puppy = eyes massa. don't
know what minister mean, but believe it can be a
pig or puppy just as it's mind to .
Before close, permit me, kind sir, TO ask you in
what history we are to find the fact recorded taat
General Washington was at tho battle Of Bunker
Hill!' as you stated to the Utah ladies, in your
farther south at the time of the battle referred
to, and that at that period had received his
commission as Commander-in-Chief but did soon
after, when he repaired to Cambridge, and drove
| the British from Boston but you say re was al
Bunker Hill battle, am bound to believe, provided
you can point me to the fact in we'll authenticated
history or if you were yourself present at the bat
tie Of Bunker Hill, witness, state to me the fact
and will believe your testimony.
You further remarked il your observations, or in
your public address. that George Washington was
Graded in the lap of ease, refinement, and luxury,
| ard was handled on the knees Of kind and tender
| father, and strove to impress your audience with
! the belief that his sacrifices were great, and his
tolls more wearisome, from the refinement and ten
derness Of his education ndluxurious living. Whe-
ther all this be right or wrong, true or false, for
| arguments sake, | am willing to concede ali that
can be asked. If you will be SO kind as to inform
me who was that kind and tender father that dan
| died George Washington on his knee-what was his
nane-his parentage-his birth, time and place
| No man ought to revere the name Of Washington
more than do, and as you have given US so much
OF the history OF this great and good man, would
ferred to- and that you will take pleasure in impart-
| ing the same. II would give me the greatest salts
faction TO receive an answer to the foregoing ques

qualification of the ladies' whom You addressed.

Far be il from me to have attempted a review of
but small portion Of your address TO the ladies of
Utah, as yet, in my three brief notes. but you will
please excusc me from prosecuting my subject far
Their at the present moment, and if forever, will
rejoice, for my time is continually occupied with
important matters but should necessity require it

this as it may should any similar speeches hereafter

dies, or concerning them, at any foreign point. from

that the Scotch poet will prove true prophet

Hon. PERRY u. DRoocHus, Present
p. S.-Psrmit me to add if you have any doubt
concerning my statements Of your having made the
observations quoted in my letters. there are thou

facts, and especially among the ladies, whose tesi-
