| To The Editor Of the Utah PolyganTSt:
! i went this morning, by appointment. to meet
! Horace Greeley Editor-in-Chiefofths Tribune,
who had expressed a willingness to receive me
at A u.
The office is in Spruce street, next door to
the Saturday Press Building.
| was cordially welcomed at the door by
fugitive negro, who took me up in a dumb
waiter to the sky parlor, where ! found Mr..
Greeley, who introduced me to Dana Ripley,
Fry Congdon Doesticks, Hotcorn s. Co., as his
associate editors. .-..-.. e.
After partaking Of an apple and a glass Of
water, and indulging in few general remarks
about Merriam (alas the weather. l stated that
| had come in quest of knowledge in respect TO
the doctrines and polity Of the Tribune. and
would like to ask some questions bearing di-
rectly on these, if there were no objections.
Mr.. Greeley avowed his willingness to an
swer to all pertinent inquiries, and the CONVEX
sation then proceeded substantially as follows:
/ B, Y.--Am to regard Trbunism ESQ cslied)
as new religion, like Mormonism, or as simply
new and original Development Of Christianity?
! H. G.--We hold that there can be no true
Christian Church in this country that hasn't
Tribune Club in it. and that no minister of reli.
gion is entitled to the name who doesn't preach
the Gospel according to Greeley"
L. Y. Then | am to understand yen that
you regard all churches who reject your peculiar
isms as the Church Of Rome regards all church,
es not in communion with itself--as schismatio,
heretical, and out OF the way Of salvation?
H G.-Yes, substantially.
Il B. APART from this. in what respect do
your doctrines or isms differ essentially from
those of our most respectable chnrches-the
Mormon Snd the Broad Church for example?
4 II. G.--We hold the doctrines of Christianity
as revealed in the Old Testament--also the Book
of Fourier, which teaches the same cardinal
truths and nothing else"
}, B. Y.-Do you believe in the doctrine of the
Trinity?
H. G.--Not as generally understood. We
believe in the Dollar, the Dime and the Cent:
not by any means as equal, nor even identical,
but as being the sinners of war.
B. Y--Do you believe iu personal Devil
distinct, conscious, spiritual being, whose ms.
ture and acts are essentially malignant and evil?
Fl. GIVE do.
B. Y.-lIow do you designate him?
II. Gas the Printers Devil. s
B. Y.--Do you believe in the doctrine Q; Ta.
tai DepraVity?
IL G.-We do, and endeavor to live up 10 it.
b. N.--Do you hold to the doctrine OF Etsr-
nal Punishment?
II. GIVE do not; nor to capital punish.
f ment. We have personal reasons for being op-
posed to all kinds of punishinent--except in ex-
{ IRENE cases.
J, Il. G.--Such as? -t.
! II. G.--When people decline to takn tina
Tribune.
i, b. I.-Do you believe in Immersion?
H. Give do. We mmerse every day.
B. Y.--Do you believe in Infant Baptism?
II. Give do, but in the same sense that
we believe in Immersion.
B. Y.--Do you make these doctrines obliga-
tory?
ii G.-Not with those who subsbribe to or
! advertise IN the Tribune.
L What is the position of your paper in
respect to slavery?
| H, G.--We think it quite unobjectionabis
where it is but very Objectionable where it su't.
b. Y.-Are there any slaves in your Office?
H. G.--None to speak Of
r B. Y.--Do you believe in Monogamy?
H. G.--Some Of us do; and some of us don't.
B. T.-Do you preach the doctrine of Total
Abstinence?

H. Give haven't decided --...t
b. Y.--Do you boieve in the Broad Church?
+ II. G.-Cer tainly, the broader the better.
, B. Y Can you give me any rational expla-
+ nation of the aversion and hatred with which
your people are generally regarded by those
among whom they have lived and with whom
they have been brought directly in contact?
: H. G,--No other explanation than il Afforded
by the i'll treatment and persecution which good
. p,nD boHn all tip,a baap TO
b. What do you say Of the so called Da-
= na-ites who are said to control your establish
ment?
:, II. Cit il too late in. the day for US to say
anything.
> B. Y.--How general is monogamy among
. you?
II. G G--Couldnt say. Each one determines
what is, his individual duty and goes and does il.
b. Y.--How do you regard what is common
:, ly called the Christian Sabbath?
y II. CASA divnely appointed day Of rest.
E Il. l.-Do your printers rest on that day?
" IL. G.--No. They are engaged setting UP
, Mondays Tribune, which we consider to be q
- work of mercy" We would have ne man en-
slaved to the Sabbath-else we couldn't getout
but five fribunes week.
h Such, aS nearly as can recollect II, is the
e substance of nearly two hours conversation,
st wherein much was said incidentally by Mr..
l. Greeley's associates, but nothing worth report.
is ing as Mr.. Greeley is the 'cutest man on the
is Tribune have reported his remarks, only. The
e others (except two, who went to sleepy appear.
ed to defer to his views and to acquiesce fully in
e his responses. He spoke readily not always
with grammatical accuracy; but with little ap-
is parent hesitation, though he evidently thought
l. some of my questions nportinent. He was
e very plainly dressed in white clothing and with
e no evidence OF taste. In appearance he is long,
S frank, good natured, yellow looking man Of
d about fifty, seeming to enjoy lie, but to be 81.
: ways in a | articular hurry.
d His associates are eccentric looking mer, with
Is difuse hair and boards, and turn down collars,
:, but appear TO be inoteRsive creatures, and not
e at all given to the vanities of this world.
l. In conclusion | must say that although nv
v interview with Mr. Greedy aud his associates
t, was very agreeable, | have no desire to ioin
v them; in fact, from some remarks that wers
:. made, it would not surprise me if they should
at very early day ask tojoin us hope not.
as We should be under the necessity Of decliu.
