H. G.-No. They are engaged in setting
up Mondays Tribune, which we consider
to be "work of mercy" We would
have no man enslaved to the Sabbath
else we could get out but FIVE Tribunes a.
week.
Such, as nearly as 1 can reeollect it, is
the substance of nearly two hours CONVEX
sation, wherein much was said incidental
" by Mr.. Greeley's associates, but moth
ing worth reporting; as Mr.. Greeley is the
'cntest man on the Tribune ! have repor-
ted his remarks only. The others Except
two who went to sleep) appeared to defer
to his views and to acquiesce fully In bis
responses. He spoke readily, not always
with grammatical accuracy; but with
little apparent hesitation. though he eVl-
IDENTIFY thought some of my questions Inn,
pertinent. He was very plainly dressed
in white clothing. and with no evidence OF
taste. In appearance he is long, frank:
good .natured, yellow looking man OF
about fifty. seeming to enjoy life, but to
be always in particular hurry.
His associates are eccentric looking men,
with diffusod hair and boards, and turn
down collars, but appear to be vanities OF
this world.
In conclusion I must say. that although
nv interview with DIR. Greeley and his
associates was very agreeable. have no
desire to join them in fact, from some
remarks that were made, it would not at
all surprise me if they should at very
early day ask to join us. hope not as
we should be under the necessity OF de-
clining the connection.
Yours polygamically,
BRIGHAM YOUNG.
