not grant even this poor courtesy, unless n

that Green tried his native Border Rufian-

ABUNDANCE OF MoNEY.-The condition Of
the New York banks shows the extreme
difficulty at the present time of employing
money proftably. These banks hold about
thirty-four and half millions OF dollars, in

proves that there is yet but ,s.y -.,cdero,e

The interest Of political affairs was wound up 70
very high pitch Of excitement yesterday, In both
the Senate and the House, BY the reception Of the
message Of President Buchanan, on the LecOmptOn
constitution. 1t was bomb she'll to the peculiar
friends Of Kansas, in the house and Senate seldom
has there been any message Characterized By equal
ability, and treating very important subject with
such clsarness, emphasis, logical precision, and
Perspieueus discretion. II assumes and maintains
the radical principles Of the democratic party, and
carries them to their legitimate consequences.
There have been some who have distrusted the firm
ness Of Mr.. Buchanan, but candid review Of bis
course should convince them particularly in the
trying circumstances in which be has been placed
since his accession 10 the Presidential Office, that be
is emiDently man Of frmness. He has been besst
on this Kansas question, BY an OdiOus amount Of
vitupsTation, and that which is much more difficult
to bear than the assaults Of undisguised enemies,
the desertiOn Of protesting friends. Calm, clear,
dignihed, candid, and emphatic, he has met these
mutifOrm attacks with energy, that has told upon
the ranks Of opposers. In the words Of one Of our
finest writers, we may characterize bis attitude;
&" Hast thou not seen Mount Atlast
Though storms and tempests thunder on its brow,
And oceans break their pillows at its feet,
It stands unmoved and glorious in its height"
On the reception Of this message debate arose.
In the Senate, Mr. Trumbull few ct the message
With the pin.feather ofths sparrow Mr.. Douglas
indicated his hostility, but declined much debate
Mr.. TOOmbs made powerful speech in support Of
the message.
In the House there was long oOmmOtiOn and de-
bate. Mr. Hughes, Of Indiana. distinguished him
self by an able and aFgumentave speech sustaining
the message. Mr. Harris of Illinois, unfurled his
Douglas colOrs. AT o'clock, the House adjourned.

We notice that Dr. BEREHEIsEL, the Mormon
delegate to Congress- has submitted q proposition
to the Administration, to sell the improvements At
Salt Lake City to the government and to remove
the Mormons, BELGIAN You've and all. to
some island Of the sea, not under the jurisdiction
Ri the United States. BE proposes that commits
soners be sent to Utah TO arrange the whole matter
amicably. The g Latter Day Saints" are evidently
coming to their senses. Finding that they can
neither bully nor whip Uncle Sam" into their
terms, they are willing to leave the Jurisdiction Of
the United States and colonize an island where they
can have things all their own way, for time at least
It would be q great blessing to be rid of this
unnatural people whose very institutions, though
under the guise Of religion, are plague-spot upon
the body polite Of our country, and whose name
furnishes our national escutheeOn. Il we're well,
however, for the MOrmOns to 60 so far beyond the
western continent that the spread Of freedom
and human advancement can never reach them
unless, indeed they should become willing to aban-
don their concubinsge for the marital rites-their
vices FOR virtue; for to cur minds it requires nei-
thers prophet nor the son Of prophet to make
known the spread Of civilization of human freedom
X
too, mainly by peaceful means. Let the MOrmons
thoroughly comprehend and feel the individuality
of man as taught by true religion, and as recog-
niEed by our institutions, and their errors will
srumble into nOthingness; and perhaps the best
way teach them this lesson, is to shut, or rather
let them shut themselves out from the advancement
Of humanity.
Of the policy Of DR.. DEHSHEIsEL's plan we have
nothing say except that 1t is Of doubtful eIpe5i-
ency. 1t may be that it would cost less money to
buy the MOrmOns out than to whip them out.
We doubt however, if the proposition Of the
N0rmOns to sell out to the government will be Sc
4iOusly entertained by the Administration. The
land Of Salt Lake City belongs to the United States
and the MOrmOus sre but Hquatters. Probably our
government viii not think it eIpedient to buy its
urD territory.

But before the year is out,
