the Brooklyn Music Hall, tbs Hon. Henry VIII
son. senator from Massachusetts, made damag-
ing speech against tie degenerated democracy,
and boasted that ,sthe Repnblfcan party was

Where education, and religion, and refinement.

Be found the Republican party the strongest.
Amid poverty and eQhallof, and bad morals, was
the Democracy the strongest. You win ex-

Mr. Gfeeley,s aOveFland Journey from New

In book form. Il viii be avery readable volume
ok nearly 400 pages, and will take IT. place with
the railway library. Pixies Peak, Utah and
California embrace such variety that large
sale Is anticipated and likely enough to defray
the whole Of the philosophers expenses. In /
this connections / shOnld add that Mr.. GreeIey,s
feelings have apparently undergone some change
towards the Mormoas. Since his return to the
sanctum he has more than once alluded To- Utah III

occasion has be used the former slang so familiar
whenever The Mormons or Mormondom was on
the tapis. Nobody would ever expect D change
Ia the philosophers religious predilections; /
believe, however, his interview with Governor
Young and the gentlemen with whom he had
social chit.chat while IN your city, tended 10
modify his opinion Of The personal around your
leader. II am satisfied that much Of the abuse
that has a.eea heaped upon the Mormons by edi-
tors has baen the result Of imposition pFacticed
npon them by interested pafsons who have re-
lmorseleasly sought the plundsr Of the treasury,
