AT the supper-table, Peter Crandall praised

the vanishing OF their fathers usual morose
silence, and their mothers sour looks and fret

the chameleon, and taking the hue Of things
around them, rose into new, happier and bet

something like an emulation of kind Offices
among them, instead of selfish grasping Of
whatever the heart desired.
Suddenly the eyes of Mr.. Crandall opened.
Peter Cfandall pondered this new fact in. his

eN1It appears from the Report Of Committee OF
the Legislature that the Bank Commissioners have
received very comfortable compensation for their
services, ordinary and extraordinary during the
past year. For ordinary services and expenses, Mr.
Dunham received S1700; MIR. Noyes Sl3o2, and Mr.
Noble Sl133 For extraordinary services and ex-
nenses the Commissioners received from the four
cnjoined banks in Hartford S2998, or sbout S20Oo
for services over and above their expenses of which
Mr.. Noble received 5000, and Messrs. Durham and
Moves about 5000 each. The Commissioners also re-
ceiyed from four other enjuined banks about $3.50
must have received at least three thousand dollars
each during the year for their services. Mr.. Noble
has taken but about half that sum- He is too easy
with the banks altogether. and unless lie under
stands making out bills better hereafter, he will
hardly entitle himself to reelection when his pre-

We commend the letter of our Washington cor

The New REPUBLICAN PLArFoRM.-We notice
that some of the republican journals, in view of
the obvious decline in the Kansas excitement
and the growing unavailability Of bleeding
Kansas" for political purposes, have started the
idea that Utah and bleeding Brigham" might
be made to take the place of the old plank in
the platform. Some journals have already
begun to misrepresent the actions and the in
~tentions of the administration, and to try,
covertly and insidiously, to excite sympathy for
poor Brigham Young and his elders. Before many
weeks are over, if the thing takes, we shall have
Kansas and slavery laid aside and these jour
nails in full cry on behalf of the injured, slaugh-
tered, ~virtuous and pious Latter Day Saints.
That the New York Tribune should espouse
the cause of the suffering polygamists is fit and
natural for is not ~polygamy part Of the doc
trine of Fourierism, and was not Brook Farm q
sort of small prototype of Salt Lake City?
These Tribune philosophers, in defending the
Mormons, are only carrying out with honest
consistency the theories and the doctrines
which they themselves are understood to have
labored with zeal to put in practice both in
New England and in New Jersey. Their sup
port might have been counted upon by Brigham
Young from the first.
1t is not quite 80 obvious why the remainder
of the republican party-which has made no
advances toward Fourierism or p%olygamy-
should follow in the same track. But it may be
presumed that the settlement of the Kansas
question has placed them in a dilemma between
dying out as a party or picking up some new
doctrine to fight the administration upon.
Under the circumstances perhaps they could
not do better than sustain the cause of the
Mormons; and We can only wish them joy of
their new allies, and of the good time they will
have as the apologists and poets laureate of the
brethren of Zion City and their forty wives
apiece.
