nof.,,ce NJ sac D;ormons,

Mr.. Bernbise, the delegate in Congress from
Utah Territory has published a defense OF Brig
ham Young and the Mormons generally, against
the charge that they are hostile to the General
Government. He says that Governor ioung mas
not misapplied, as alleged, any part of the mon
ev entrusted to him by the United States Tor Ter
rtorial purposes, but has notified the Secretary o.
the Treasury that he is prepared to account Tor Il
all. He also quotes from an address delivered oy
Young, in which he says that ''there is no law III
the United States, or in the Constitution, but
am ready to make honorable" In reference K
the report that Young had publicly threatened op
position to the General Government and violence
to q successor, Mr.. Bernh isel says: "lhe Ian
cuare which has been perverted was the eXPosr
tion Of his confidence in the Government oil God
and the expression of his devout submission to the
Providence which rules all created things" Mr.
Bernhisel does not touch upon the subject o
nolvoomy. AS there is no law in the United
States which Brigham is not ready to make hon
orable. we are curious to know how he regards
the laws of the several States touching this mat
ter. lie probably thinks the laws ''mOre hOaoreC
in the breach than the observance"

The Richmond Wing Of the 4ih inst publish
es in full the celebrated speech delivered by Mr..
Wise, a; Louisa Court-House, in 1910. 1t is in
deed glorious Wing document, but scarcely as
rich in its dcnunciaon Of the Democratic party,
as his Congressional speeches, from which we
continue to publish few paragraphs.
We notice that in this Louisa speech, one Of the
henous offences charged upon Van Buren, by Mr..
Wise, is The appointment Of Roger B. fancy an
old ant-war Federalist of the bluest hue" as Judge
of the Supreme Court. Now, we would inquire
whether it was more reprehensible for Van Buren,
to appoint an ''"''l anti.war Federalist' to that
distinguished and responsible position, than for
Polk to appoint snch a man as Mr.. Wise himself
declared Levi Woodbury. to be? And yet Mr..
Wise denounced Van Buren, and sustained Polk.
The speech abounds in good Wing doctrines.
Speaking Of Mr.. Clay's Bll for the distribution Of
the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, Mr.
Wise 9ronounces it "a measure which insures e.
quail benefits to all the States, and benefits not to
be calculated in extent or value, without the least
violence to the Constitution and in exact confer
nifty to the patriotic grant of Virginia of this her
itage of domain 10 the common benefit Of the L
Mon"
If Mr. Wise himself is to be believed. we can
not blame the old line Democrats for refusing to
support him, forif he spoke the truth at Louisa
Courthouse, he is sill q Whig. OF his own
Congressional District he said, that 'ihere the
revolution for Liberty first began and ended. )" ard
it was I'm red with the best blood"-the Wing
blood of the Revolution the blood of the Wings
of re. and the descendants Of those Wings are
Wings still and ,ciU Wigs foreuer." Judging
from this language. we would infer that although
Mr. Wise has been for some time acting with the
Locofoco party, his heart has all the time been,
and is still with pure and undefled Whiggery
We shall endeavor to lay this speech before our
readers entire before The day Of election.
