tativcS ofthe Commonwealth Of Penn
syluania:
GENTLEMEN We have cause to be
thankful to Divine Providence for the
blessings of peace within our borders,
abundant crops, unanimity among our
people, and that thus this Common
wealth has been enabled to do her full
duty to the country, to herself and to
posterity.
! apprised you in my message Of the
9th November, 1865, and delivered to
you at the beginning of your session,
of the necessity under the pressure of
which / was compelled, for the resto-
ration of my health, to sojourn for a
time in warmer climate. return
ed from Cuba refreshed and invigora-
ted, and have resumed the discharge
of my public duties. cannot omit
to acknowledge, with profound graft
tude, the kind, considerate and affec-
tionate course which you pursued du-
ring my constrained absence. A heavy
addition has been thus made to the
debt which l already owed to the peo-
pie of the Commonwealth and their
Representatives.

Because | am in earnest men call
me an enthusiast, but [ am not; mine
are the words of truth and soberness.
When first went into Worcestershire,
and was walking on the hill, saw a
gravel pit fall in and bury three hui
man beings alive. l lifted up my voice
for help so loud that | was heard in
the town below, distance of mile.
Help came, and rescued two of the
sufferers. No one called me an en-
thusiast then; and when | see eternal
destruction ready to fall upon poor
sinners, and about to entomb them
irrevocably in the eternal mass of woe,
and call aloud for them to escape,
shall | be called an enthusiast now ?

The CONFLICT IN | TAH.--The
Gentiies in Salt Lake City exhibit
evidences Of rapidly increasing power.
The tone of their paper has improved !;
it is calmer and more confident; more
argumentative and diSpassionate. and
less vitupcrative; and in other ways
shows the influences of growing power
and responsibility on its side. The
Mormon papers have yielded their af-
fected contempt and Indifference so
far as to argue the questions of polyg-
amy and church rule, which is of
course most important poirt gained
to the right side. Free and full discus
sion through the daily press and be-
fore the whole community will make
more rapid and healthy changes than
any other instrumentality. Gen. Con
nor and Gov. Darfee seem to be unit
ed in a cautious and conservative but
firm course of action: the force OF
troops has been increased, and is now
pronounced sufficient oral con-
tingencies; the Christian church Or
ganization finds itself, at the end of one
year, with new church edifce, all
paid for, and Sunday school of 200
children, and every way vigorous and
growing; and all the influences of a

Many deists attack religion. not
with the weapons of men, such as rea-
son and argument, but with grin and
grimace. Railiery and wit were new
er designed to answer our inquiring
after truth. Plato and Socrates might
have a fools cap clapped upon them,
and so may Locke and Sir Isaac New

are still great and respectable char
acters. Ridicule a II d railIery, es-

weapons Of pride, ignorance aud envy.

One of the principal rules of relig-

In the heart Of every human being
the true seat Of human happiness is
lodged. We need not look for it
without and beyond ourselves. The
world is what We make it. it is hap

loving heart links the loving nature
TO it, and discerns beauty, goodness
and blessings where others find only
banks.
