Edward Everett.
We have noticed for some tim


man saws the Balti,nors Times. L is
something to refresh us in these de-
generate times. to know that such a.
man as Everett is an object of national
regard. The corruption fparty can
not have undermined the virtue and
intelligence of the people. when such
virtues and such intellectually as
possessed by Mr.. Everett, finds an al
most universal devotion. He is ina
tional' in the broadcast, fullest, and
most republican sense of that term
He is the friend Of the people-the
lover of civil and religious liberty-the
advocate of peace--the stern opposer
of European assnmp'ion-the pro-
moser of industry, and the representa-
tive of a conservative progress which
must command the appreciation of all,
and has in it the true elements of our
national greatness
Public sentiment, like a mi gbty
tide, is setting in towards him. From
the hills Of Maine, from the vast inte-
riur of the coutinent--from the sunny
South-frum the far West--frum the
Pacific coast the vol of the nation
which cannot be made inaudible, comes
loud in praise and confidence. There
are crest issues abead-great results
awaiting the touch of time--new des-
TIMES for this young Republic. Cal
houn is gone--Clay aud Webster are
gone. Everett, the bosom friend of
one, and the companion of the other,
stands to-day, the living representa-
tive of their varied qualities. As a
man, patriot and republican, Edward
Everett has a hold upon the hearts
Of his countrymen, which even party
luminosity cannot destroy. His future
is full Of significance. We mean
more than we say
PLAIN TALK 70 THE SAINTs.-It
appears that the Mormons at Salt
Lake have got 50 well to do IL the
world that the Indians frequently lay |
them under cantribution-an opera
ton particularly trying to saints as
well as sinners. So persistent il their
calls have the Indians become, that
the head Of the Mormon tribe, Brig
ham Young, has got his back up. In
an address intended for the Indians
and the Mormons, be proceeds in this
style, +" say to the Indians, as | have
often said to the mob, 60 your length
You say you are going TO kill us all
off. You say you are going to ohliter-
ate the Latter Day Saints, and wipe
them from the earth. Why don't you
do it you poor miserable curses ! The
mob only had the power to drive them
to their duty, and to remember the
lord their God, and that is all the In
dams can do. This people are world
ly minded; they want to get rich in
worldly substance, and are apt to for
got their God, the pit from which they
were dug, and the rock from which
they We're hewn, every man turning
his own way Seemingly the Lord Is
Christening us until we turn aud do his
will. What are You willing to do
Would yon be willing to build fort
and all go in it aud live ? | tell you,
you would have a hell of your own,
and devils enough to carry it on Do
you suppose You will ever sec the time
you will do that and live at peace with
each other, and have the spirit of the
lord enough to look each other in the
face and say, with a heart full of kind
ness, Good morning Mary or, How
do you do, Maria You will be whip
ped until you have the spirit of the
Lord Jesus Christ sufficiently to love
your brethren and sisters, freely, men,
women and children"
