the Latter Day Saints, who was regarding
The scene with much interest. He seemed
disappointed when no answer was given to
the question.
Bernhisel is a tall, spare mar, with few
i scattered white hairs on his head, aud is
4 apparently about sixty years Of age. He
dresses in plain black, neatly aud genteel!y
I like Christian He is a rather dry look
/ ing old institution, yet there is keenness
in bis grey eye, and Sharpness in his elon-
gated visage which denote something of the
energy and ability he is said to possess. -
He looks, however, more like crYsty old
misogynist Ian the lustful possessor Of no
\ less than eight wives. When the discus
sion of the sspa;riarchial institution" oil
| Utah comes up for discussion, Bernhisel
will, no doubt, be heard III regard TO its
blessings. There was peculiar twinkle in
the eye Of the venerable polygamist, when
Cox, of Kentucky, the other day referred
/ TO Abraham and the patriarchs for anthori-
ty for the peculiar institution of the South,
which perhaps meant to say that his own in
stitution rested on foundations equally
] strong.
/ Utah has population i've times greater
thar Kansas aud Nebraska together, Jet tie
latter have already taken iniuatory steps
for admission to the Union. The IDhaSi-
tants Of Utah don'i seem TO be in any hurry;
they intend 10 apply the new doctrine of
popular sovereignty in their own way, anl
stay out. Governor Young is perfectly
/ satisfied with things as they now stand
Ila Is the temporal ard spiritual sovereign
Of an independent kingdom--an imPeriHm
in impato-and has decla red his determi-
nation TO keep his place, the United States
to the contrary notwithstanding. /. seems
to me that the EmieEant Aid Societies, af-
ter having settled things in Kansas to their
complete satisfaction, should turn their pi-
Gus attention TO Utah, and rush sufficient
majority into that territory TO wrest its lc-
cal affairs from the hands of the NIormons.
TIE only difficulty in the way of the plan,
aud which has perhaps occurred to the Aid
Societies, is the danger that the ernig-ants
would, as fast as sent, become converts to
the beautiful faith and practise Of the Nor
mons.
The election of Banks to The Speaker
ship Is only question Of tine--you may
rest assured of that. 1t may not be next
week, or the week after, bui nobody else
will be Spe aker but n B. Banks, Jr., Of
Massachusetts. The majority of the oppo.
sition, asting one hundred and eight votes
for him, have no thought Of yielding to the
miserable squad which obstiuarely prevents
az gao!zss,ion Of the House. Fuller's
force ID spent, none Of the Pennsylvania
delegation voting for him but Broom aud
Miilward, whose consistency wonll be much
better disp l4yed by waiting fer Richardson.
The democracy have thrown down The gaunt-
let, and 10 their caucus resolution have
frankly de slsred their willingness to 60 TO
| the country on the principle of the Nebras-
ka-Kansas till. Fuller and his friends are
more ultra fro-sIayery. They are unwil
ling to allo W tie North the poor privilege
Of making 20, attempt to recover her stolen
rights. His recresnt abandonment Of the
principles upon which he was elected, and
the motives which influenced bis conduct,
have inspired no other feeiiugs here among
all parties but intense disgust, The signi6-
cant allusion to bis position By Cobb, Of
Georgia on Fsiday last; his triumph over
his (Cobb',l friend, Hendrick B. Wright,
on the Nebraska Issue, Ras far from being
pleasant. Elected as an anti-Nebzaska
man, and his antecedea.s being favorable,
With the exception OF bis vote for the Pu-
gitive Shave Bill, his colleagues voted for
him as long as there was reasonable chance
OF his election. But Mr.. Fuller vas detcr-
mined not 70 abandon his hot qusss of the
Speakerslnp, and revengcd himself on his
colleagues by going ever to the South, and
promising not to "agItate!.'' You use hard
words in Pennsylvania ahout Best and 9TH
ers who turned up on the wrong side when
wanted, but Henry N. Fuller has improved
considerably on al o: them. His trae po-
sition vas kept in the dark until Conceal
men. vas DO longer possible. A malicious
Locofoco frieni, whowr newspaper let
ters, and makes horribly bad puns, insists
that there IS a very slight change IN Fuller's
position aste. al from being anti. Nebras-
ka, be only turned 'sAn;i-Nebraskal.'' He
acknowledged the atrocity of the pun,
aud proposed ID adjournment to the neares:
