SiIas VyrigMt's W eaiiils

The Dhfly Wisconsin, edited by CraTner'
formerly of Albany, speaking Of the wealth
of the most eminent American STATESMEN,
concludes his list with the following refer.
ence 10 Silas Wright: ~,
"Slas Wright, with his estate Of $4,000
was really wealther than many others are
with $1,000 He owed no man any thing;
he met his obligations with the utmost
promptness, and never indblged in a luxury
that he could not pay for. lie was model
of republican simplicity. 1t should be nh.
derstood that he was not mean in saving
money. .
There was something glorious in witness
ing great statesman like Silas Wright
never asking pecuniary favor--or even
accepting one; yet possessing only an in
come that could support him and his wife ii
frugal,y. When he was elected Governor
of the State of New York, he was known tt
be too poor TO furnish his own house. Hi
rich friends got together, and without his
knowledge, made up subscription which
was rendered to him as q gift, in order tc
furnish his mansion. This he respectfully
declined, saying with true Roman gran
deur, that he could not consent to receive
any such favor from any one--even from
his most esteemed friends; he was elected
by the people to be Governor of the State
OF New York, and he considered it his i'm
perative duty to live upon whatever income
the people had appended to that office, and
he did live on that income while he wos
Governor, in good style, but with no osten'
tation. Such an example on the part OF so
eminent man as hc was, is one OF those
precious legacies that the young men oil the
present day should bear in mind---as no true
greatness can ever be achieved 80 long as
they are the pccuniary slaves of even their
nearest friends. When a public man re-
ceives favors that he icannot repay, he
loses that sturdy Independence SO essential
to usefulness and an enduring popularity
Live within your income, is more important
to one who aims to be an influential and
useful statesman, than any other maxim"

A correspondent of the Boston Bee, writ

"At one Of these prayer meetings in church
in this city, whose summit is graced with
dome in imitation Of st. Paure fin London,
there arose d man, dressed poorly, and with
want depicted on his aged countenance,' >
who offering up pure and holy prayer to
his Creator, closed in the following strange
manner: Il have been afflicted with the curse
Of poverty since last fall. My poor wife and

The Mormon Trouble.

DR.. BURuIsEL, the Mormon deIegIte from Utah to
Congress publishes the following card
Upon the advice Of experienced Friends have
carefully avoided presenting my name in print
The most obnoxious Individual. however, is, by 20
pular custom, entitled to ask for himself aud for
others, when malice is busy against them, what is
termed q suspension Of public opinion.
/ would most respectfully ask my felloE citizens
to disTust the letters with which the journals
abound, coming or purportng to come from the
station OF the army Of al, and which are CON-
posed without aBy regard to truth Of statement BY
hose whose personal interests will be promoted by
sur eOuutry's persevering in the wicked enterprise
denominaed the Mormon war.
Why are you told by these cruel and mercenary
persons that there is reason b doubt the sincerity
Of the Mormons desire for peace! Why didthe press
Al their command deny the authenticity Of the des
patches Of Governor A. Cumming TO the commander

sacrificed all our preparations Tor defeBee--afer We
