THE MoRMoHs-Brigham Young, the
Great High Priest" of the Mormons, has

The mormons have a strange theory 10
relation to the spirit world. The delusion
or imposture at whose shrine they kneel
teaches them that the departed saints o.
their number are engaged in the land Of the
spirits, in converting the devils and tht

"As for my going intesthe immediate

FEEIlNe IN RUssIA.-The following ex.
tract of letter from a respectable and
well informed citizen of the United States
to friend in Washington dated St. Pc
tersburg, Russia, Sept. Is, 1854, gives, to
our mind, very fair idea Of the deter.
mined spirit Of the Russians
The war is scarcely begun. There is no
chance for any power, be it ever so great,
to conquer Russia. The Eemperor is only
preparing for war. Next year he will have
in the field, ready for active battle, one and
half million Of soldiers, well drilled. The
people are all for the war, and he has no
trouble in getting soldiers, for it is with
them q religious war They want the
Christian faith to be sanctioned over the
world. They are the most devoted people
on earth, and the last cruciix will go for
the war before they give it up.

Considered more particularly, oppose it,
irst, because OF its false assumption of dang
er from the Romsh Hierarchy. According
to the late census, the Protestant churches
of the United States are about thrtv-two
times as numerous rs the Catholic, and can
accommodate more than twenty times as
many worshippers. The proportion OF adult
Catholics of this country to the whole popu-
.aaton is only as one to twenty-eight. In the
State of Virginia, where the Order seems to
flourish, the Catholic churches cannot accom-
.nodate one hundredth pal of the number re-
ceiving accommodations in The Protestant
churches These, sir, are the facts by which
this new born scheme of bigotry and intol-
erance must be tried. This is the monstrous
power that is to swallow up our liberties, un-
less politicians and priests unite in open and
secret combinations to check its aggressions.
Now ask, can any man feel alarmed, who
will allow himself to reason! The Papacy,
