struction of the mansion of Hon. Thomas
II. Benton, gives the following incident:
"Mr. Benton arrived from the capito
in brief time, and at once asked respec-

daughters, who had taken refuge at Col
Fremont's, one Of the adjacent buildings
replied, we have saved nothing, father
but ourselves; your papers are lost Ther
let the house burn on said Mr.. Benton, II
an apparently calm manner and for O
time he continued to look with more con.
cern for the men who were at work, en-
cased in icy armor, than for any interest
be might be supposed to possess in the per
ishing property"

A Mormon writer, advocating polygamy
attempts to sustain his opinion by refer
ence to the practice Of the Patriarchs Of
old Major Perry. of the GrecnvilIc Pa
triot, in noticing the Mormon's letter, de-
nounces polygamy and the Patriarchs, too
He admits that the Patriarchs were polyg-
alnists, but says they were a set of stiff
necked, licentious and ungovernable Gus
toners, who would not be restrained by
God or his commandments.
