Mr.. EDITOR -The writer has been a subscriber to
your paper, and an attentive reader of it also. from
its first appearance.
He thinks, that by calling attention to various
objects of public utility, some of which have already
been acted upon by the government, the .Adrerfiser
has established a claim to a share in the favorable
regards of this community. 1t seems much superior
to any other opposition paper, which has hitherto
appeared in this kingdom. l think. however, there
is still room FOR Improvement in this line; and with
your permission will state wherein.
It is a point conceded that it is not only a noble
trait of character, but wise policy, to allow to a
party or government opposed, full credit, for all its
praiseworthy acts. Now it X supposed from the
keenness of tue -fduertiser in discovering and pub
fishing what it deems failures or flaws in the Ha-
waiian Government, that if its readers, had no other
means of information, they would conclude the gov
eminent was flaw all over, and moreover, rotten at
the core; that it had neither done any good, nor in
its present organization, was competent to do any.
This seems to be a natural inference from tn tenor of
your remarks on roads. streets, the police. schools, &c
Now neither you nor your correspondents can be
ignorant of the fact, that in the opinion of many,
whose experience is quite as large as yours. it will
be difficult to find a nation SO recently reclaimed from
gross idolatry and deep degradation. that has made
greater uVtuCe III tHS very punt III WHICH ne
government is so unsparingly censured. Moreoven
it is confidently believed. that it will not be d 4cult

corning money spent on the soldiers. I believe correct.
1t seems an absolute waste. But let not this, and
some other measures. that we think are not wise, so

mendable done by the government, lest we be Justly

REMARKS OF HON. w. w. BOYCE,

On Mormon Affairs, in the House of Representa-
tves, on Thursday, March II, 1858.
Mr.. Boyce.-Mr. Chairman, I consider
the question of coerciug the Mormons of
Utah, involved in the bill to increase the ar
my, as one of the gravest nature. This sim
gular people, the wonder and approbrium of
the age, have established themselves in the
heart of this continent, at vast distance
from the civilized world, and separated from
it by vast deserts and mountains. Their
voluntary exodus from the Christian world,
their selection of the great central basin for
the seat of their power, their peculiar sys-
tenn of religion, their domestic institutions,
so opposed to the spirit of the age, their sin
gular unanimity of action-all excite our
astonishment. Whateverelse we may think,
there is one thing We must all perceive, that
they are actuated by the 6ercest fanaticism.
They are, what we have not recently seen in
the civilized world, an entire community of
fanatics. Ithas been apprehended, from their
first development in Utah, that we would
have trouble with them, and the apprehen-
sion is now being realized Mr.. Fillmore
has been good deal censured for permit
ting their great leader, Brigham Young, to
act as Governor of the Territory. This was
not the wish of Mr. Fillmore, but the result
of supposed political necessity. Perhaps
it would have been wiser to have met the
question then, for it has only been postponed,
and comes up for solution now, when they
are far stronger than they were then. The
same considerations of political necessity
acting on Mr.. Fillmore acted also on Mr.
Pierce, and Brigham Young was permitted
to remain in Office as Governor The public
mind of the United States, during the ad
ministration of Mr. Pierce, seemed to be
come fixed in opposition to the retention o.
Brigham Young in power by the Fedora
Government. One of the political parties
of the country, in the recent Presidential
election, made opposition to the Mormon
one of the planks in their political platform
Influenced, perhaps, in some degree, by tn
laudable desire of meeting the wishes of tn
country, and, also, have no doubt, upol
general views of public policy, the presen
Administration determined to supersede Brig
ham Young as Governor, and appointed Mr.
Cumming to the position, gentleman vel
fitted for the place.
During the period that Brigham Youn!

A CURIOUS WEDDINa.-The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
says:
An interesting wedding took place few
days since between Mr.. Henry B. Mel
vile and Mrs. Sarah Z. Seymour. The
parties have both been married before, and
each have family of seven children-those
of the gentleman comprising six daughters
and son, and those of the lady six SONS
and daughter. The sons acted on the o.
casion as groomsmen to their future father,
and the daughters acted as bridesmaids to
their future mother. The whole fourteen
children dressed alike according to their
sex, entered the church arm in arm, and
ranged themselves on either side of their pa.
rents, who are both remarkably handsome
and looked superb. The bride is wealthy,
and was dressed in pearl color colored moire
antique, with costly laces, and diamond
broach and bracelet.

which you can summarily dispose Of. 1t is
not question of partisanship, but ques-
tion of craftsmanship. You may turn from
it, but there is Utah; there are the Nor
mons; there is the cancer on your body
polite. How will you get rid of it? Will
you strike at it with the sword? Those
rough remedies sometimes aggravatc the
disease. 1t needs, in my opinion, to be
dealt with gently, and with consumate wis
dom. With these remarks I leave the ques-
ton, at least for the present.

far from the probable site where the sermon
on the Mount was delivered, our guide
plucked two flowers supposed to be Of that
species to which our Lord alluded when he
said: "Consider the lilies of the feld."-
The calyx Of this lily resembles crimson

could be " arrayed" more gloriously than
one of these.

No sunbeam ever wandered DER bank bestrewed
with pearls,
And left foot print brighter than those gold be-
sprinkled curls;
No cloud of stormy darkness ever swept the sum-
mer Skies
Darker than the sorrow floating through those blue,
blue dreamy eyes;
Oh grief was very dainty, when she made that
brow her scroll,
And drew her ftful record from that maiden's
guileess soul.
The moonlight falling through the leaves and on
those twilight tears
Revealed an eye uplifted-looking earnestly IN
hers;
She knew the secret of that glance; what woman
eer mistook
The thought that has no eloquence beyond gentle
look?
She knew no angelever wooed and won his earthly
bride,
With love more passionate than his who trembled
close beside;
She knew no unkind ocean ever spreadits painless
ways
With desolation like to that which marked their
separate days;
She listened calmly to his words-it is no time for
tears
When passion in one moment crowds the life of
many years.
s'Thou hast not known how have loved
Perchance will never know;
The stream whose surface seems unmoyed
Has living tides below;
Bright rays from out the summer sky
May light that upward wave
The streams most precious jewels lie
Deep in some hidden cave;
And have never breathed thy name,
The world had else reproved,
Or linked it with some withering shame
Because thou art beloved
For lips have momently ettaced,
With most ungente art
Some record never more retraced
Upon the blighted heart.
have not thought of thee as one
To share the ills Of life,
To be my Joy when there was none,
In all the worlds dull strife;
The dear companion side by side
On loves all buoyant sea,
To strengthen when my soul was tried
AS it henceforth must be.
! would not have thee watch and watt
And worship at shrine
Pursued by that relentless fate,
That mocks the fame of mine.
But thou shalt be secret thought
The jewel all unseen
The one remembrance of what
My life with thee had been.
And when no other presence mars
The dream that fills my heart,
I'll tell unto the quiet stars
How wildly dear thou art.
Their gentle light would never chide
Nor would their smile grow less;
IT'S left for mortals to deride
What heaven would own and bless.
Thus let it be! l care not now
That other griefs arise,
They cannot scar this aching brow
Like tears from those dear eyes.
And future years shall never wiring
An accent Of thy name
Thou art the one beloved thing
The world shall never claim"
She faI. pressure on her brow-she heard a has
ty tread
Upon the autumn leaves that lay around her cold
and dead
Dead as the hopes within her heart-dry as the
dust that fell
Upon the flowers of feeling, crushed in that un-
blest farewell;
They met no more, and she became in those dull
after years
That strangest thing we meet in life-a woman
void of tears
And when they told her of his life, they spoke oi

Too strongly welded to grief his pride revealed
