Yankee Tolerance in Religion and Morals.
D,,a,soL E.h

We are sorry 10 see the marked disre-
spect lately exhibited by the Emperor OF
Utah TO his roya brother at Washington.
His Majesty Brigham the First. is said 10
have lately denounced "the Geniiles' 10
his dominions in unmeascred terms, and
declared iha. "in nine months Utah would
be as free OF Genliles as the Presdenl's-
Abraham thes stIrst-messsge is OF reference
10 Utah"
II was certainly an objectionable discour-
tesy TO omit in that document all allusion 10
Utah. The two powers have been hitherto
on The most friendly terms The domestic
Institutions of Utah have been regarded in
tolerant, no! TO say admiring spirit, by the
same people VINO have visited the domes-
Tic institutions OF the South with fire and
sword. Even al time when Utah, mere
territory, openly uniurIed the flag of rebel
lion, he United States sent peace commis-
sionners with its army, an act of grace
which il never extended TO The wicked re-
bellion in The Southern States. Bishop Tai
bot, who recently travelled through Utah,
states. in his report, that he was not per-
miled 10 preach there, and that no house
would be rented for the purpose of preach
ing by any Christian minister. Polygamy
Honrished iuxurianly.
The Bishop mentions instances where
several sisters were wives of one man. In
one case, a mother and two daughters en-
ioyed that honor. Uuder these circumstan-
ces, the Mormons have no reason 10 COM
plain of the United States people, who
have no hidebo notions in religion or
morals, aud are more tolerant to unbeIievers
and poiygaRisls than TO men of their own
faith who have only one wife, but many
bales oi cotton.
Possibly Mr.. Lincoln meant no ofe1se in
failing 10 give expression in his last mes
sage TO the national sentiment OF respect
and esteem for Utah. He is TOO much oc-
cuPed in putting 10 the sword his fellow
Christians OF the South to besiow The prop
er civiII:Ies upon that imperium inpeI 10
near the Salt Lake, where concubinage- has
become part OF the organic law, and no
slaves are permitted save the female vic
tim ot Mormon lords.
Abraham The First, unlike his paIrsrchal
lamesake, devo:es his destructive energies
only TO the exierminaiion of men OF his
own race and religion, and permits The
Sodom of the New World TO send up lis
stencil under his nose. Brigham should be
Indulsent 10. the oversight Of the message,
and refrain from throwing another fire
brand into the Immaculate and glorious
Union.

Letter from Cant. |. Y. RraII.

The Richmond Sentinel say The fol-
lowing letter received by flag of truce, will
show the spirit OF the gallant young Confed-
crate soldier, tho lies under sentence Of
death in Northern prison, of which notice
las been lately published. The sentiments
he expresses in this farewell 10 his brother
are such as will inspire universal respect
sympathy. To an unblenching manliness
as TO his own fate, he exhibits chvalrous
tenderness for our captive foes that is soIi-
ciIous, evenin so trying an hour, les; the
severity denounced against him might be
retor!eG by his outraged kindred. To hang
such man, on such charge as that under
which he has been convicted, would be an
enormily which we will not credit lin ad-
