REDDING, Acest, 8 State street, Boston Mighty Important from the Mormon Coun- try on the Misslsslppi---Progress of the Latter Day Saints---The New Revelation going ahead, Yesterday we received highly important dispatches from our correspondent, who resides in Nauvoo, the chief eity of the Mormons on the Mississippi— called by the Latter Day Saints the beautiful city of God. This intelligence is of the most interesting and cu- rious character. ‘The Mormons, under the guidance of their great prophet and seer, the famous Joe Smith, are organiz- ing a religious empire in the far west that will astonish the world in these latter days. Civil, religious, mili- tary, judicial, social, moral, advertising, commercial organization, are all embraced within the compre- hensiveness of their new system—or their new reve- Jation fresh from God himself, in thei: owa enthu- siastic language. The astonishing mixture of world- ly prudence and religious enthusiasm—of perfect system and wild imagination—of civilized reason with ancient ideas—of religious ebservance and mi- litary organization, is without a parallel in the his- tory of natiens since the time of Mahomet. The model of Joe ith, the Mormon Prophet seems to be the great Jewish legislator, Moses. Both com. bined religions, political, moral, and social in- stitutions ia ene mass of legislation and empire. The Saviour of the world and his disciples separated these awfulelements of despotism, and gave to reli- gion, a separate, distinct, intellectual, etherial mo- ral impulse of its own, fit to promote happiness here and beattitude hereafter. The corruptions of the church, in the tine of Constantine the Great, unit- ed all these, under the general name of Councils. ‘This baneful combination produced the awful and despotic Roman Hierarchy, till the majestic genius of Luther, like another apostle Paul, rose up and se- parated the elements again and re-established the principles of Jesus of Nazareth. The numeroussects—the contrariety of opinions— the corruption of the times, have increased to such a degree, that every now and thea the master-spirits in religion are rising up every where, and attempt> ing to unite the same elements that the Roman Em- peror did—and to frame an empire that can be cen- trolled by religious opinions alene. Such is the policy of the Right Reverend Bishop Hughes of this ¢ity—and such is the direction which his holiness, Joseph Smith, President of the Church of Latter Day Saints, gives, on their beautiful banks of the Missis- sippi. This country—this singularly constituted re- public is the field for these isolated and wonderful efforts of religious genius and religious ambition. ‘The revelation, or the developement, or the sys- tem of the Mormons, is the most original of the present age. It is far more adapted to the present century—and to modern civilization, than the Romizh system. 1t combines simplicity—good sense—belief in any quantity—love—morals—ener- gy—industry—liberty of the prese—moderation— singleness of purpose—enthusiasm—devotion—tem- perance—imagination—ia one vast and massive sys- fem of civilization. ‘Their progress corresponds with theirprinciples. In two years, the Holy City of God, Nauvoo, has risen from a few houses, to possess 10,000 souls, ides much cattle, all animated by the same spitit—believing the same faith—obeying the same more! rules—and combined in the same great purpose of regenerating the race of man on earth. They believe that they lation from heaveun—e who can gainsay them? Who can say that thou liest ? Has not Joe Smit as good aright to be considered the vicegerant of God, as the Pope of Rome ?

The children of’ Israel were commanded to build a house in the land of promise; and so are the saints of the last days, as you will see in the Revelation given to JOSEPH [SMITH] the SEER, Jan. 19th, 1841, wherein those ordinances may be revealed which have been hid for ages, even their anointings, and washings and bap- isms for the dead; wherein they may meet in solemn us semblies for their memorials, sacrifices, and oracles in their most holy places; and wherein they may receive conversations and statutes, and judgments for the begin- ning of the revelations and foundations of Zion, glory and honor and adornment of all her muni through the medium which God hath ordained.

And yet there has never been a session of the Legislature when there has been wuch important business to transact. A crisis has come in the legislative action of all the States, and their movements this winter will form an epoch in the history of these republics. The payment of a just and honorable dels, has, mirabile dictu, be- come a question, and this question is now presented to the respective Legislatures of most of the States for theirdecision. To pay, or not to pay, that is the question. And we call upon the Legislature of our own yet honorable State to come out bold- ly and fearlessly and put her veto, and her wi- hering denunciation, upon this foul doctrine of repudiation, which, like a pestilential miesma, is now tainting the air of some of the States. If the revenue of the State be not adequate to the promptdischarge of any debt, or the interest upon any debt as soon asit falls due,then we call upon the legis- lature, like a skilful and faithful physician,to prescribe adose of taxation. Depend upon it, the disease will make such ravages in the constitution of the State as will be infinitely worze than the remedy prescribed. And if the dose be prescribed, we call upon the people to come up like men—«.en of henor —and take it. And then, let them take care how they get sick again.

D, Granam, Jr. Solicitor. Such is the annunciation of the course which “the Captain of the deck” and the Faculty intead to pursue. But will such a course be tolerated? Is it to be supposed, for one mo- ment, that any man, or body of men, shall be permitted to institute a censorship of the public press?’ The same game hasbeen played in London and Dublin, and the press has most signally tri- umphed. Mr. Abernethy, the eminent English sure geon, instituted legal proceedings against the Lon- don Lancet, in order to prevent a publication of ver- batin reports of his lectures, but it was decided that public lectures, when delivered, became the proper- ty of those who purchased, or obtained a right to hear them, and that persons who thus attended en them, could sell, print, publish, or ia any way dis- pose of their notes of such lectures. In Dublin the same question was tried, in a case in which the pro- prietorsof the “ Bfedical Press” were defendants, and the result was a similar verdict, in their favor. “The Captain of the deck,” in his Bill which he has filed in the Court of Chancery, assumes the ground that he can prevent the publication of his lectures because they are his exclusive property. They are no such thing. Hesells them to his students at twenty dollars a head. His students can take verbatim notes of them, and print, publish, or dispose of them as they please. De. Houston attended those lectures intwo dis- tinct capacities, the one as the agent of Dr. Mott, and the other as a graduate in medicine legally en- titled to attend, and make whatuse he pleased of these public lectures. In the former capacity he ful- filled his engagement until Dr. Mott ordered him to desist, and so violated his part of the contract ; in the lJatier, Dr. H. was fully justified in making whatever use he pleased of the lectures, whether of reviewing them in a public journal or otherwise. But atall events the alleged contract, between Drs. Mott and Houston, is a matter entirely distinct from the publication of hislecturesin the Laneet. The proprie- tors of that journal have aa undoubted right to publish the lectures of Dr. Mott, or those of any other pub- lie teacher. These lectures do not belong to Dr. Mott—they are the property of the public—paid for by the public. It is not in the power of the Court of Chancery, nor any other Court, to prevent their publication. By the laws of the Union, and of this State, the fullest liberty is guaranteed to the public prees in the publication of everything interesting to the public, and the press is responsible only to eo- ciety and to individuals for the effects of the exer- cise of such unlimitted and unfettered right of publi- cation. Itis no wonder the community 1s astonished and alarmed by such impudent, high-landed, and tyrannical attempts to deprive the press of this coun- try of its privileges. If Dr. Mott,or any other Doctor, have a right thus to interdict the press, where will the operation of this principle end? Why, Mr. Clay, after the deli- very of a bril ech in Congress, may prohibit its publicatton » ground that it is his exclusive property, and that he intends publishing it himself. He may send to all the newspaper proprietors in the Union, ‘their reportors,printers,agents,and servants, greeting, strctly commanding each and every one of them under the penalty of ten thousand dollars, to refrain frem publishing, ot fatnishing, or preparing for publication, or permitting to be published” his aforeeaid epeceh, because, forsooth, such publica tion would ‘take of its freshness,” and deprive him neeessary now to be mer d) to do justice to the subject of Temperance.

Its fate te is doubtful,though the better opinions, that a repeal bill cannot be carried. If the Senate shall retrace itssteps, and undo what was achieved at the extra session, after great labor and manage- ment, under the pressing demands of the people, the honest unfortunate debtor must look to the Pre- sident alone forrelief. Under ordinary circumstan- ces, it would be hardly proper for the Executive te interpose and arrest the passage of a repeal bill; bug this is an extraordinary case, to be dictated alike by humanity, by wisdem, and sound judgment. The subject was brought to the - notice of Congress by a special message from the Executive. The law was passed and after full diseur- sion, and a thorough examination into all the conse- quences, immediate and remote. Nothing has sinee transpired to change the aspect of the question, or throw any new light upon it. The law has not gone into operation, and it is proposed to repeal it without giving an opportunity to ascertain its effect. Is such eapricious legislation—such child’s play—compati- ble with the dignity of Congress?—is it worthy a grave, deliberative bedy? We know not what da veto would seem response the members themselves may make to these interrogatories, but it is certain that the five hundred thousand bankrupts who hoped to be re lieved by the beneficent operations of this law—will invoke the vengeance of the people upon those who, having held the cup to their lips, now seek, without hesitation or compunction, to dash it from them. The movement of the tariff men towaras the im- position of high protective duties is most injudicious in every point of view. It comes from the northera whigs, and cannot fail to have a disastrous effect, both onthe party and the in:erests of their conetitu- ents. No wise tariff man will open his mouth about protective or discriminating duties. A tariff for re- venue, which shall raise money sufficient for the wants of the government, will give ample protee- tion to every manufacturing interest in the United* States. We require an average duty of at least thire ty-three per cent on our imports to raise money enough to meet the demand on the treasury. With a knowledge of this fact, itis not surprising that any man should raise the question of protection in Congress ? * * * * * * The cause of temperance is exciting a deep and general interest in thia city. To the philanthropist and the patriot its progress is ource of high grati- fication’ The vice to winch it is opposed is the cry- ing sin and desolating scourge of our land. How many noble victims has it prostrated ; what couat- less ruins strew the path of this fell destroyer. But it is among the poor and the ignorant that its rava- ges are most extensive. Deprived of the higher pleasure and more refined gratifications of life, their resource in joy and in sorrow is the intoxicating bowl, which, though strength and gladness to-day, is weakness and misery to-morrow. It is to them ~ the Lethean draught and Circian cup. Those, then, who occupy the superior stations of life, and are blessed with the advantages of education and refine- ment, have less excuse to justify, or rather palliate. this fatal indulgence. It is, moreover, their duty to set a public example toeuch as look up to them with respect and confidence. Several members of our nai ional legislature have felt’ this solemn obligation, among whom. Mr. Brggsof, ‘aseachusetts is conspicuous. He is ia- stant in season’and out of season, in advancing that salutary reformation to which he-has dedicated his public example and preeepts. We feel peculiar pleasure band. Itis that of the Hon. Mr. Marshall of Ken- tucky, the bzilliancy of whose geuius ie eaby equal: led by the kindness of his feelings and the courtesy of his manners. He is not only the most eloquent orator of the day, but in sentiments and maners,-a gentleman, in the best and highest eense of the , word. Though ardent in temperament and of strong” impulses, the heat of debate never provokes him in- to wanton offence. He. is blest with that enviable faculty in a public man— « the bland philosophy of life, adding another name to thia meritorious ‘That sense, “ Which checks discussion ere it wazms to strife.” Much injustice has been done te this gentleman, through malevolence er ignorance. Ot a free and confiding character, he has not always eet that strict guard upon himself which a more cau tious and eelfish nature places, often as a co- ver for defects. Of a social*and convivial dis” position, he opens himself as frankly and unsus- spectingly as though he were always surrounded by friends, anxious to make every generous allowance for those failings which are connected with, if they are not the offspring of our best feelings. Bat it is unsafe to trust the strongest mind or the most robust constitution too far. In the prime and strength of manhood, with health unimpaired and intellect um- dimmed, he accordingly resolved to anticipate,rather than wait, for those painful lessons which the vota- ries of convivial pleasure receive, alas! often too late. With Mr. Marshall, to resolve is to do, and with a manly front. He at once stepped forward, and publicly enroiled his name with those who have solemaly pledged themselves, to resist by diseounten= ance the charms of the syrea. At a meeting held Jast night, at the Medical College, Mr. Marshall not only inscribed his name to the piedge, but,when carn- estly called upon, made afew remarks, with bis characteristic eloquence, and distinguished by equal modesty and feeling. They were listened to with alinost afiectionate interest by a numerous audience, proud and grateful to see £0 noble a spirit come up to the rescue. We are persuaded there is not a man, of any sect or party, who will not hail this anaunciation with peculiar satisfaction, for the admiration which ge- nius inspires is confined to neither. We ate made to reverence any thing which adorns or elevates our common ni ature; and hence, ia a great degree, the interest which was excited by this gratifying oceur- Few men have a brighter career before rence. them than Mr. Marshall—si sit prudentia. He has vigorous sense and extensive knowledge uuited to the fascinating talent of eloquence, a rare combina- tion, for the employment of which the fortanate pos- sessor is accountable to God and man. Alt Mr. Marshall modestiy observed that (h@-dtep which he had taken was for bis own Benefit, rather than that of others, he will pardon ‘us for saying, that whatever satisfaction it may af ford himself, far greater is the service which hit bright example will confer upon the eanse of which he is destined to be a distinguished advocate.
