Mr.. EDIroR: It is at all times q source OF regret to

from the fact that tho election is close at hand, and
professional engagements will prevent my visiting
desire various parts of the District.

calculated to wound society in Of its tcnderest
and most sensitive points am happy to say, they
arose from missonccption Of my meaning and that
they have been Withdrawn, as will appear by rofer-
euco to the correspondence which will be published
in another column of your paper.
The report indus!riously circulated by my enemies,
that have said That no mechanic ought to have q
monument erected over him." must have grown out
Of certain remarks that used in speech ut the Bur
during the last Term of our Court which occurred in
the following connection:
In attempting to account for my client having tenn
porarily left the State, I assigned bitter political
prejudice as his probable motive, and cicd among
other things in support Of my position, tho fact Of
nm effort having been made to erect monument over
the unfortunate deceased, when l. in substance, said,
"That, monuments are usually erected to States

lived But what arc the facts in this cuse? 1t is in
evidence TINT the ill-fatcd deceased, killed

created considerable excitement among the
gentry about town. and the corps were Il

an election to tho institution they seem to
admire so much. Petty rascais will GER
tainly become fewer and the expense of keep
ing persons convicted Of minor onenses will
grow less in consequence Of the institution

have hitherto coveted the lodgings and fare

TIE MoRMoNS AND THEIR POLICY A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from Sacramento, gives detailed review of the Nor mon discontent and it's origin, down to the present time. He was for many years a resident of Salt Lake City, and only left itwhen the Gentle pop ulation were driven out. He believes thatunwise and il5udged appointments by the Federal Government first excited Brigham Young and his followers to rebel; and that to the excesses com mitted by Steptoe's command, when quartered in Salt Lake City during the winter of 1854 and 1855, is to be attributed the present hostile attitude of the Mormons and their determina- ton to allow no more troops to dwell among them them. It is his opinion that the Mormons, if driven to it, will oppose by force of arms the further advance of the United States troops, but in the summer they will migrate, either to Sonora or northward toward the British possessions. The latest ad- vices from Utah exhibit two important facts. Col. Johnston, who commands the United States troops has avowed his determination to take no step backward, but to carry the war direct ly into Salt Lake City, should the Mermons manifest a disposion to re- sist, and with arms in their hands, And, in the second place, Brigham Young has intimated willingness to permit Gov. Cummings and the civil officers who accompany him to pass quietly into the city, provided the Uni ted States troops shall remain at distance. But this attempt at compro- mise is not likely to be acceded to; and if, in conformity with the opinion expressed by the above writer, the Mormons will oppose by force of arms the further advance of the United Sates troops, conflict would seem to be inevitable. The relative forces may be estimated at about 2,500 on our side, against at least F ,000 Mormons. But the former are regular troops, thoroughly drilled and disciplined, while the latter, however full of fan aticism and fight, would, in all prob ability, suffer very severely, and, after one or two skirmishes, either yield or retreat.
