last Congresses cost about S4,7OO,O 900. While
some of the members OF the committee will
report in favor of establishing government

pose amendments to the present laws on the
subject, and recommend reduction of thirtv-
five per cent from former prices also that no

der such guards as will prevent further abuse.

REVIVAL IN PRINTING OFFIoE.-Prayer
meetings have been held daily at one of the
larger printing offices in this city, since the
9th of March, with increasing interest. At
the commencement of the meetings there
were but four or five converts, with but very
few participants, and now the number ranges
as high as twelve or fourteen. The interest
manifested at these meetings is very great.
One of the recent converts says :-"What are
we to expect when printing offices are con-
verified into religious chapels 1t is, as far as
my knowledge extends, unprecedented in the
history of any country, and will, no doubt,
astonish many reader" AS the meetings

holy day by attempting to speak to the people,
meet him there, o Lord, and confound him so
that he shall not be able to speak -
Lord, we know that we cannot argue him
(Parker) down, and the more we say against i'm
the more the people flock after him, the more
they love and revere him. o Lord, what shall be
done for Boston, if Thou dost not take some OF

MORMON SERMoNs.-By the arrival of the
Star of the West from California, files of the
DeSeret NeaoS as late as December 30. have
been received, containing reports of sermons
delivered by Mormon Elders. The following
is an extract from one of Brigham Young's
harangues to his people:
The time has arrived when we have Ell
Their to be trodden under foot by our enemies
and die, or to defend ourselves and our rights,
and which will it be? Every man and wo-
man feel their hearts fail them when they
think OF submitting to the oppression and
awful a9ominations practiced by our enemies,
and sought by them to be introduced into our
society, and we will not submit to their wick
ed and unlawful treatment, whether it comes
from United States or united hell, for the
terms are synonymous, as the Government is
now conducted [ tell you and tell our enc.
mics that we are here, and we intend to stay
here. (Ihe congregation responded, Amen.)
They have job on hand if they persist in
their efforts to deprive American citizens of
their rights. 1 told Capt. Van Vhet that
did not care how many troops they SENT
Why" said he, " the United States, with
an overHowing treasury, can send out ten,
twenty, or fifty thousand troops" replied,
l do not care anything about that" The
Captain then asked whether | had counted
the cost, and l said, yes, for this people I
have, but i cannot estimate it for the United
States, for if they nctually persist in their ty-
rannical course, before they get through they
will want to let the Job t. sub contractors.
They do not know the Captain of the armies
OF !srael,and, although they profess to believe
in Him, they do not realize that He is about
to hold controversy with them for their ini-
guilty.
If we will stand up as men and women of
God, the yoke shall never be placed upon
our necks again, and all hell cannot oUerthro,o
as, ecen sojth the United States to help them.
1t is not pleasant to the natural feelings to be
obliged to talk in this manner about fellow
citizens with whom we have been reared, but
when they act like the devil it is impossi bic
for us to bow to their unjust and illegal man.
