WEDNESDAY EVENING, NAY Is
The Mormon Prophet.

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Salt Lake City, gives the follow
ing account of the appearance OF Brigham
Young before his people, after the judicial pro-
ccedings which affected his liberation:
The prophet, seer and revelator being again
u free man, much curiosity was felt as to the
manner in which he would express himself at
the Tabernacle on Sunday. 1t will be remem-
bered that the forty-second seml-annual con-
ference of the society, convened month ago,
had been adjourned from Sunday TO Sunday
owing to the absence of Brigham, no other OH
Ger Of the Church having power to close 1he
session. Thousands of citizens OF all casses'
Mormon and GENTLE hocked to the Tempe on
Sunday morning and afternoon, ana the spa
cious edifce, which has beeu previously aescrl-
bed in this correspondence, was crowded 10 us
tull capacity Devout saints recognized singular
appropriateness in the opening hymn, which
was sung by the choir:
IAN angel from on high,
The long, long silence broke, &c.
This was followed by:
"Whcn earth in bondage long had lain.
And darkness O or the nations reigned &c
Az amusing coloquy then eusued between
Brigham and his congregation, as follows:
Brigham-A word to the Latter-day Saints :
Good morning.
Congregation-Good morning.
Brigham-How do you do?
Congregation-Veryw WELL
Brigham-How is your faith this morning =!
gation-Stroug in the Lord:
Brigham-How do you think look after
nv long confinement?
egation-First-rate
These singular proceedings, which | give
literally as they occurred, seemed to put the
prophet and his followers thoroughly en- rap.
port with each other, and he then proceeded
with his sermon.
I had never before heard the prophet address
his people, and was not an inattentlve hsten-
er to what followed. AS pulpit orator Brig
ham Young is rather sorry model. True, he
has a rude species Of eloquence, which accounts
10 part for his sway over an iiliterate and un-
cultivated people. But nowhere else save
among his followers would such an haraugue as
| listened to from his lips, on Sunday last, De
digni6ed with the name of sermon, or be lis
tened to with the slightest degree of attention
or respect. It's distinctive features were an ar
rogant assumption of prophetic powers, coarse
illusions to his enemies and prosecutors, inter
larded here and there with slang phrases aud
an occasional touch of profanity, and a total
disregard of the simplest rules of English gram
mer Underneath all this, though manifested
less in words than in toue and manner, was
plainly discernible terrible under current Of
bitter hatred and longing for revenge against
those who had been instrumental in bringing
about the recent prosecutions. This impress
sion was only heightened by his obvious efforts
at the repression Of his real sentiments, aud
not few Gentiles left the Tabernacle devout-.
" thankful that they still had the protection Of
