President Lincoln does not write his brief
letter to Horace Greeley, for the sake Of sat-
tying Mr. G eeley. He would not d. that,

Last year several thousand Mormons came
across tho ocean. English, Welsh, Danes,
Scsndinasians, ETC., and settled in the King

orders direct from parties which they know to
