Arrival OF MoRMoNs. "A company
of ninety Mormons, most of them from
Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, arrived
in the city of New York on Sunday in
the ship John Bright. Their emigration
was projected before the news of the diff
ficulties in Utah had reached them, and
it was their intention at first to proceed
direct to Salt Lake. When it was as
certainod that they could not readily go,
it was decided that they should sojourn
for time in Canada F.; but they have
since decided not to go thithcr, but tc
settle somewhere in the Northwe until
an opportunity of joining Brigham is
afforded them. They speak hopefully oil
the progress of Mormonism in the Scan,
dinavian countries.

eighty. we arc sorry TO see. maniIests dispo-
si,on to yield the principles for which he has
so stoutly commended, 10y going in for the Eng
lsh Bill. lie says, in his last, alludinS to the
bill:-
ave have had but little time to examine
il, but il appears to be quite an ingenious
compromise OF the matter, and iairer way
out of the snarl into which the Congression-
al thread has run than we had anticipated.
Though it does not in so many words refer
the Lecompton Constitution To vote OF the
people, il virtually accomplishes the same
thing; for a negative vote upon the PROPOSE
ton submitted is a vote that will count against
tho whole constitution. The passage OF this
bill will consequently put it in the power Of
the people of Kansas 10 determine for them
selves whether they will become a State un-
der the constitution or not. This is the main
thing contended for by those who have OPP
posed the Lecompton scheme, and We are
not surprised to learn that most of the anti.
Lecompton Democrats in Congress have de-
term;ned to support the compromise of the
committee. We think they should do so, ii
thereby the vexatious controversy may be
ended. Ii seems To US that this i compro-
mise that may well unite the democrats in
Congress, and be acceptable to the country.
So it seems our neishbor for the sake of
ending ''vexatious controversy" is inclined
to give up the principle that the majority Of
the people OF u terr itory have the right to
choose their own institutions. As the editor
saws he has had but little time to examine the
bill, we advise him to take time to examine
its provisions. and especially would we COM
mend to his notice the article which we pub
ish to-day, from the zen of Col. Forney, in
relation to it. 1t is not our purpose to accuse
him of deserving the ground which he has
heretofore occupied, until we are satisfied he
has had reasonable time 10 make himself full
" acquainted with the bill. He, will find
there is no, line in it which sanctions pop
ulur sovereignty; on the contrary it presents
