Wonderful Success of Newspaper Literature, Monday, we published a third edition of many thousands of the Mlustrated Weekly Herald, con- taining an account of the riots in Philadelphi: We have now printed a fourth edition of juat many thousands, to supply the demand for the “ Great Western,” and packets yet to sail. The manner in which this illustrated Weekly Herald has been received by the public has asto- _ nis ed even us, who were long since prepared to be astonished at nothiug. Many attempts have been heretefore made to establish pictorial papers in this city, but from their invariable want of suc- cess, the poverty of the effort, want of talent and genius in managing it, it was supposed that such a thing could not be made to succeed here. We have shown, however, that such a paper, if proper- ly got up, is certain of receiving ample patronage and support. One of the most curious results of the popularity of this paper has been, thata great proportion of the recent sales have been amongst the Irish—the most pious and determined followers of Bishop Hughes, who bought the beautiful illustrated Herald in the very face of his bull of excommunication against all who would touch or look at the Herald. We mean to continue at proper intervals, and as occasion may require, the publication of Mlus'rated Weekly Heralds. We have four or five artists al- most constantly in our employment; and we are prepared to give graphic illustrations of the pro- grees of society, and all important events in the most expeditious, accurate, and graphic style. As soon as the excitement of these riots is over, we shall enter on the work of illustrating the manner in which the two great parties are conducting the Presidential contest, by means of engravings, of the beauty and excellence of which no one can form any conception until they are published.

[¥rom Philadelphia Ledger, July 16.) It is remarkable, that amid the conflicting state- ments respecting the “first fire” of the troops, on Sunday evening, the 7th instant, no exposition, bearing official sanction, should have enlightene the public, and papscptly. oppesed the force of pub lic calumay and ingratitude It the public hadseea such a statement, it would have altered the views of many persons. Even up to this time nothing official has appeared. In view of this fact, we have obtained the following papers, drawn up with great haste, amid multiplied occupations, by Geueral Cadwallader and Col Page. The statement of Gen. eral Cadwallader relates simply to the first fire, and the march of the troops into Southwark, on :un- day evening. We ask those who yet deny the ne- cessity of firing when the order was executed, to ponder well on the particular statements of Gen Cadwallader, detailing the mode ot warning given to the mob to disperse, aad the forbearance of the volunteers under aggravated insult and injury. The statement of Colonel Page gives, in beh, what took place under his immediate command, during the entire time of his being on duty in the dis'rict. Both statements are simple, condensed views of the matter. We offer them as interesting to all parties. They tell their own tale, and reed no comment. Baigapier General Capwattaper’s Statement: I take @ moment to say that many and urgent requests were made to General Patterson and to the sheriff to have a military force sent to St. Phi- lip’s church on Sunday afternoon, and we were in- formed that unless such ferce was sent, that the personsin the church could not retain possession of it. Under these circumstances, it was supposed that it would have been attributed to timidity if we had not gone, and-the sheriff Was particlagy de- sirous that, if our force wasa sufficient one, the military should receive possession of the church and protect it, I considered our force, although not large, sufficient for the purpose of maintaining possession until daylight the next morning ; but stated that an additional supply of ammunition would be then necessary, as well as a reinforce- ment of fresh men, provided there was any colli- sion with the mob—this it was nao there would be no difficulty in providing, tor the troops Gea to arrive fromthe county. On our arri- val at the church [halted the troops, and gave no- tice to the mob to disperse, and stated that all per- sons were required to clear the street and go to their homes; and I informed them that I was or- dered to use force to do so if the order was not complied with, or if resistance was offered, and that I intended to obey my instructions. In obe- jience to instructions, previouely received from Major General Patterson, 1 gave directions to all officers acting in command of companies which were detached for any particular service, to fire in the event of being assailed or resisted, without further orders. I then directed Col. Pleasanton to detail Capt. Scott’s company to clear the street as far as Second street, which was promptly done; but finding it necessary, I sent Capt. Hill’s eompa- ny to unite with Capt. Scott in the performance ot the same duty. 1 then gave notice again to all personsat the corner of Second and Queensts. to dis- perse,and +/arned them that the responsibility would rest upon themselves if they did not do so. Much unruly conduct occurred, and ineult was lavished upon officers and men in the discharge of their duty Thad at the time these companies were clearing the street, unlimbered and loaded two six pounder field pieces, and placed them in front of the church Capt. Patterson’scompany was detailed for receiv- ing possession of the church. I then, after repeat- ing instructions to the officers at the corner of Second and Queen, to maintain their position, and to fire if resisted or assailed, returned to the Church, and iniormed the citizens within that I thanked them in the name ol the public au- thorities for the faithful manner in which they had protected the property entrusted to their care, and accompanied them to the corner of Queen and Second streets, to pass them out atthe guard sta- tioned there. "The moment the last member of the committee hal pasiens Captain Hill’s sword was seized by one of the mob, and he was knocked down by a blow on the neck from a brick or stone. Two men who attempted to assist him were struck, and an attempt made to wrest their muskets from them. Atthe same moment a shower of stones were hurled uponthe military amid the shouts of the mob; one of which struck Sergeant Starr, cf the Cadwallader Grays, in the breast, and another a private of the same company, both of whom were knocked down and disabled, and have not a: this time recovered. A’ member of Capt. Hill’s company fired at the man who had hold of ti Caprain’s sword when he fell, and the Company aimed and fired over their Captain, who was yet lying etunned by the blow. Capt. Scoit’s Company red about the same time. . _Sratement or Coronet Pace. ‘ While General Cadwallader was engaged with « portion of hiscommand in clearing the streets at Second and Queen streets, I was performing the like duty under his instructions at Thid and Queen. Our orders were not to fire except in de- fence, and when assaulted. The companies de tailed met with considerable opposition, The mob retired slowly and sullenly on all sides. The ut- most forbearance was exhibited under their in- sults; and it was not without great. delay and much difficulty that the avenues of Third and Queen were finally cleared, and the military posted. Crowds remained, however, outside otf the lines drawn across the streets, menacing by words as well as gestures, The approaches up from Third and Queen had scarcely been taken possession of before the firing was heard at Second and Queen, an attack having been made upon the Arullery companies at this point by the mob. The companies of Infantry were stationed as nearly as can be recollected, as tollows:—In Thiid street, just below Queen, the State Fencibles, Lt. Middle- ton; adetachment of the Washington Artilleriets. Capt. Mallory, with a six pounder, No. 1; the Ger- mantown Blues, Lieutenant Bockius; the above under my immediate command. I was also charged with the superiatendence of the other line of de- fence, in Queen street, above Third. The line under the immediate command of Captain Tustin consisted of the National Guards, Lieut. Matheys; Monroe Guards, Capt. Small ; Wayne Artillery, Capt. Fairlamb, and a detachment of the Wash- ington Artillery, with a six pounder, No. 2, under Lieut. Bringhurst. The line up Third, near to Catharine, was formed by companies under the im- mediate command of Col. Murphy. Thus the ap- proaches Southwest and North were guarded at the time and during the attack upon the Artillery on the East. The firing in that quarter lasted a considerable time when it was interrupted, and so continued untila late hour of the night. Then it was that the murderous discharge of cannon took f at the corner of Third and Christian, at the ine commanded by me. Not a shot had been fired by any of the military, comprising these three corners of defence up to this point, and they were at a distance of a square from the point of the first attack by the mob. Many of the shot, however, from Second and Queen, came up and struck among them at Third and Queen. The effect of the first fire of the rioters was terrible. The cannon was filled with all sorts of missiles, and could not have been more than one hundred and filty feet from my line when discharged. Fortunate- ly for my command, I had drawn up my Mag company, the Fencibles, close to the west side of the street, and the left, the Germantown Blues, close to the east side of the street, leaving the centre of the street clear, except so far ne it was occupied by the six pounder, with Capt. Mal- lory, and his detachment. The discharge struck to the eastward of the six pounder, and owing to the elevation and obliquity of the fire, spent its greatest force upon the buildings on each side of the street, principally on the east, however, passing over the heads ot the Fencibles, Artillery and Blues, The scattering miasiles, however, took eflect meop the six pounder, the right of the blues and the lefi of the Fencibles. Sergeant Guyer, of the Blues, was instantly killed, and Corporal Troutman mor- tally wounded ; Lieut. Cox, and Privates Osborn, Ent, Waterhouse and Ashworth, of the same com- any, were aleo wounded; Lieut. Bockins had a fall shot through his cap; Capt. Mallory had his pompoon shot away, and Vs vate Crawford, of the Artillery, was dangerously wounded ; his arm hav- & since been amputated at the shoulder joint; and rivate Patterson at Sergeant Marston, of the State Fencibles, was shot in the thigh; Private Hasson cut on the wrists, and some of the muskets struck by the fragments, which fell in every direc- tion. e men were all blown from the six poun- der, and the concussion threw back the left of the Fencibles and right of the Blues, but Private Crout immediately rallied and fired off the piece, and » wales musketry was given, from right to left, by the Fencibles and Blues. The #ix pounder was immediately reloaded by Crout, assisted by Ser- geant Murth, of the Fencibles, and fired by Captain Mallory. ral Maxwell, of the Blues, took the place of Crawford. After this a regular dis- charge of musketry was kept up, the military firing at intervals, to prevent the planting of cannon from their fire. Another, however, came from the same part in about an hour, aimed at the same line, but fortunately no one was injured, the com- manding officer directing his men to preserve a kneeling position. After this the rioters proceeded to Fourth and Queen streets, and gave Capt. Tus- tin’s line, in Queen street, a raking fire from that narter, wounding several of the Wayne artillery. hey then returned to Third and Christian, and were preparing for another fire, when the cavalry under Captains Snyder and Ba- vington set upon them and captured the canno: several of the tronpers being severely hurt in the at- tempt. Many prisoners were taken and brovght in at this time. No assaultwas made upon Col. Mur- phy’s line up Third street. The firing was up Queen trom below Second, up Chira from Chris- uan, and down Queen from above Fourth ; but the discharges up ‘Ihird carried the instruments of death far beyond Col Murphy’s line, approaching from the rear and passing some of them us high up as South and Third. The troopers were also fired upoa from house. tops, windows and alleys, with musketry and rifles, many of the houses near where they were stationed concealing foes.— The night was so dark that objects could not be observed at any distance, and the rioters took care to put out the lamps in their neigh- borhood. In this way they could closely approach the lines of defence and fire upon them without risk ; retreating into the cross streets, and hauling away their cannon by means of ropes secured fer that purpose. After the capture of the cannon by the cavalry the firing ceased, and the troops remained in possession of all their costs natil Monday after- noon, when they were witnvrawn by the sher fi, atthe request of the civil aatheritiesot Southwark; these gentlemen representing tw! they could pre- serve the peace of the district, and that there was no further service for military torce. [From the Philadelphia Times, July 16} The military are thoroughly hated in Southwark. Some of the medical etaff stepped into an ice cream garden down there one day last week, and having partaken of the frigid retreshment, disco- vered 8 ortly after by its effects, that they had pro- bably been drugged with tartar emetic. The idea ot = estas taking medicine, and administered, too, by one without a. “licenee to kill” secundem artem, was rather ludicrous, and they continued to “throw up” the affair to each other for some time afterwards. Rewarp ror THe Riorers.—We see that $500 reward is offered for the apprehension of each and every person engaged in the recent bloody war- fare upon the law and its ministers. Thisis right. It wiildo more than all other things to bring the really guilty to justice. The traitors will betray each other without doubt, not only to get the re- ward, but to escape the personal consequences of their own crime, , We hope and trust that every man who has lent a helping hand to this band of rebels against good government—this gang of des- perate desecrators of the American flag—may be put before a jury of his country, and punished for his audacity. Syke Ba The yells feeling in Southwark has undergone a complete revolution, almost, since the arrests ot the persons engaged in the late treasonabile riots have been commenced. It was thought before, that the authorities dare not make the arrests.— Now, general alarm instead of general audacity is exhibited. It is said that a thousand spies pretend. ing to be rabid ‘* Natives” have been set to work in that district, and that the names of aie four hundred suspected persons have ay een sub- mitted to the officers of the court. The result of this rumor isa complete panic. Fear and trembling have seized upon the boldest. Men are afraid to speak lest a listener be at hand to report their ob servations; and those who actually participated iv the riot, instead of boasting about the streets of the act, are seeking to conceal themselves in obscure places. In the meantime the Moyameneing prison gates gate pretty eften to admit the arrested, and the law is in a fair way, at last, to vindicate itself, and make the culpable answer for their wartare upon the civil authorities. =| i The recent riots in this city are terribly in- juring it in his business and prospects. We do not believe five millions of dollars would atone for the pecuniary damage alope. One gentieman arrived ere from the West Indies with $200,000, which he intended to invest in property. He liked Phil- adelphia as a residence—the pure air—the fine markets—the excellent water—the regular streets —the sociable people, &c. He was about to pur- chase ground to erecta row of houses, when the Kensington disturbances commenced. The South- wark followed—and in despair, he started for New York, declaring that he did not feel his person safe in Philadelphia, to say nothing of his property. He goes with his wealth to New York. There are hosts of such instances. People are leaving us in all directions, carrying off their ready cash. ‘Then again, business here is thoroughly euspended on account of riots. Inthe very midst of active pros- perity we have been seized with a paralysis. Every man suffers more or less in this, for it extends through ail the various ramifications ef society. The taxes too, for some years to come, will be enormous. A quarter of ‘a million of dollars will not pay the damage sustained. This will advance the rental of dwellings, &e {n every view,there- fore, who has not reason amongst us to deprecate a continuance or repetition of the troubles! ARREST OF ONE OF THEM —Hugh Devlin, one of the principals in the Kensington riot,was yesterday arrested throngh the efforts of John McMenus, and taken before Alderman Boileau, who commitied him in default of $2000 bail. This is the man that is supposed to have shot Mr. Peale; he is a desper- ate fellow; has been about three years in this coun- try. The Arti-Catholic and riotous feeling is particu- larly strong among the pretty women of Southwark We note that they even go so far in theirexhibition of it as to utterly eschew now the use of Bish and Cardinals, and display a peculiar partiality tur mob-caps. Sad creatures. “Law and Order” forgot to furnish us with his name, and his whereabouts is not known in Phila- delphia. [From Philadelphia Chronicle, July 16.) The riots are now numbered with the things that have been, and the rioters, or many of them, have left for parts unknown. ‘The Attorney General, the Sheriff, and other officers of the law, are ac- tively employed ferreting them out. Yesterday there was no disturbance of any kind. The military— several of the companies from the interior of the State—paraded in uniform in the afternoon, aud made a fine display. Troops trom the country contioue to arrive. On Saturday night, two com- panies arrived; the Lancaster Fensibles, a well drill- ed and handsome corps; and a company of rifle- men. They are beth under command of Major Hambright. Other companies afrived yesterday.— Many poe wonder whut the military are on duty for, when ull is quiet. We think they should be continued where they are, as long as possible.— They can do no harm, and may do much good. 8 The Reform Party. iRi— This new party is truly a reform party, and in ef- fecting a retorm, they have met with CL ele at every turn by the adherents of the two old parties; they opposed them at the ballot-box—they are op- posed by the reform of the principles of the two old parties. The remains of the old loco party last in power, object to every move with the greatest tenacity, and ao theme is more harped upon than that of pure simple honesty, with their great desire for the public good, assuming often times so much apparent honesty as to effect their object or change the vote, measures previously digested as absolutely proper and necessary. nm the other hand, a few influential members nominated and elected by the party, but somewhat identified in the whig ranks, seek to control ana direct matters and things with professions of reform, it thereby it will further the cause of whiggery and the election of Henry Clay. @f these last, the party and their principles of reform have most to fear, and if these gentlemen do ot shortly learn better the princi- ples of the party, and forget their former whig man- aging—Wall street trickery—I apprehend they will bring upon their heads a burst of indignation from their constituents, that may place them in no enviable "situation, The principle gof reform is demauded by the people—it is identified with the party, and nothing less is required than a radical change. Nei‘her the people nor the party will be content with words of reterm—nothing less than a ject cleansing of the augean stable. If acknow- ledged frauds existed in departments of the govern- ment under their predecessors, it cannot be less so while every officer in those departments remain unchanged. They must be cleared out—their trauds detected—proper men appointed to fill and execute the duties—otherwise it 1s mere words withoutacts. No reform is effected—young America prostrated, and that too, by misplaced confidence. Santa’ es a OTe Roanoke Intet.—Lieut. Maury, in’ his paper on the Gulf Stream and currents of the Sea, read be- fore the National Institute, and since published in the Literary Messenger, introduces a remarkabie fact rela tive to Tonnoke inlet, on the coast of North Carolina — Twe hundred and fifty years ago Sir Francis Drake en tered Albemarle Sound, through Roanoke [nlet, with his fleot ; and whero the inlet was then is now a sand-hank above the reach of the highest tides. Only seventy-t at Aad ‘was navigable by vessels drawing twelve of water. AFFAIRS AT NAUVOO. Hoving visited Nauvoo and its vicinity in person, for the purpose of getting at the true state of affairs among the Mormons and their neighbors, we are enabled to give the latest as well as the most cor- rect intelligence. Nauvoo reposes in a state of quietude and tranquillity most remarkable. During some Holey hours that we paesed in the “ Holy City,” we heard but one solitary intemperate ex- pression, and the man who uttered it was instuntly checked, and made silent by more prudent spirits around him Elders Adams and Lyne, accompa- nied by others, left the city on Tuesday last, their | object being to call home the absent Apostles and ; members of the Council of Seventy. Upon the return of these, there will take place a solemn de- liberation of the ‘Twelve Apostles, who will ap point a successor to the lost Prophet, and their ap- pointment will then be acted upon, either to be ratified or rejected, by the Ceuncil of Seventy. The walls of the temple are a little more than half up tothe designed height, and all work ceased upon them during the recent troubles; but, at the puolic meeting on Monday afternoon, the people were no- tified by Elder Phelps, now one of the most active and influential men among them, that labor she uld commence again the nextday. He told the men iot to neglect their families; to be energetic in seeing them provided for first, and then hasten to work upon the temple, The system upon, which thistemple has been building 1s the exaction of la- bor every tenth day from every man who cannot purchase his exemption from the task with money. It will be, if ever finished, a very imposing looking edifice. it stands in a high and commanding posi- tion, a prominent object riviting the euapaer's eye at once, and, upon near inspection, the style of ar- chitecture is found to be more than commonly at- tractive from itssingularity. [tis like nothing else, and, wits we may be allowed to designate it as the Mormonid order, it, certainly, has no name at all. The stone ts of excellent quality, quarried in the neighborhood, and very good mechanics have been at work upon it, The massive ¢aps of the columns. are already carved from huge’blocks, showing a gigantic round buman face, like the broad full moon. The col- umns are made to reet upon crescent moons, sculp- tured on the face of the stone, resting with the horns down, and with a profile of eyes, nose and mouth, upon the inner curve. What idea this is meant to convey, we could not learn, though the impression is irre ible, that the church is built up upon moonsh The utmost harmony and peaee, at least as far as was allowed to appear to the eye of astranger, prevailed throughout Nauvoo. At Warsaw, and all about the adjoining district, a very different state of things is fully apparent. ‘The people are boiling over with excited teeling. -We ved at Warsaw onour return. We found the abitants laboring under such a state of feeling as is quite evident can never be changed. In reply to the deputation from Gov. Ford, we were told that a committee had already left Warsaw to wall upon the Governor, with the deliberate expression, that either one or other of the antagonistical parties must abandon the county. We stopped at Quincy on Thursday evening, and saw the Governor. We frankly laid before him the charges we had heard made against him, both by Mormons. and Anti- Mormons, all of which he combatted with fair and intelligent statements. The Macdonough soldiers, about whose dismissal the Mormons are most in- dignant, were disbanded from the simple fact that there was no sustenance for them in the power of the Governor, or the people of the place. Gov- eror Ford. depended upon the assurances of protection fer the prisoners, ea by the Car:hage Greys and the guard around the door of the jail. The point most interesting, may be the manner ot the murder, and without partiality, we can here give the straight forward truth. At the request of their own counsel, the prisoners were placed in an upper apartment of the jail, instead of the cells This is another point upon which the Mormons feel sore, they believing, or pretending to believe, that the Smiths were so placed with design to give the assagsins more facility in aecomplishing their work. The first alarm in Carthage was a cry from the vicinity of the jail, “ The Mermons! the Mo: mons! they have come to rescue the prisoners It is clear, from all our representations, that such was the instantaneous impression. The Carthage Greys were under arms, aud immediately com- menced quick march for the jail First was heard a solitary shot, followed by the quick und continu- ous reports of a revolving pistol, (these latter are known, and admitted to have been fired by the Pro. phet,) and then came a rey ot fire arms, suc- ceeded by Joseph Smith tnmbling head foremost from a window of the juil. The whole time of the action, from the first_cry of ‘the Mormons! the Mormons!” until the Carthage Greys, on approach- ing the scene, discovered a band of men disappear- ing as fast_as they could run, was sourcely ten minutes. This has been all represented fully at Quincy, though many still, whether from honest impression or fixed design, it is difficult and per- haps useless to speak, aseume to impugn the integ- rity of the Greys There is such a whirlpool of conflicting interests involving this businese, that an impartial mind is completely astonished at the manner in which first high principles may be lost sight ot in the petty differences of p All men, from one end of the Union to the other, must cen- demn, most emphatically, the outbreak at Car- thage. It was wrong; it was unjustified by any law; it was a demonstration bound to be regretted deeply by al) our good citizens living under this free government. Still Jet us take care, and do the people of Hancock county, Illinois, fair justice, —St. Louis Reveilic, July 6. ~~ We have received Quincy papers containing a long correspondence between Gov. Ford and the committee of safety of Hancock county. ‘The committee enter into a history of the conduct of the Mormons in Missouri and Illinois, and repre- sent them in black colors; they speak of the re- peated and successful attempts to set the law at de. fiance by means of their Nauvoo charter, and state that in criminal and civil proceedings the other citizens have no chance in contests with Mormons, They =, that the Shenff and Clerk of tne courts are inthe Mormon interest, and that having the majority of the county, after the next election they will have all the offices of the county in their hands. They state that there can be no comprom- ise ; that either the Mormons must leave the coun- ty, or they will be compelled to do so, Taey say that it is utterly impossible for both parties to re- main in the same county, and they call on Gov Ford to exercise his power and influence to effect the removal of the ‘Mormons if Gov. Ford writes a long and ill-natured letter in which he reproaches the people of Hancock county with great meanness and bad faith in the murder of Joe Smith, and dwells upon the enermity of the crime, and the disgracetul circumstances under which it was perpetrated. He says that the murder of Joe Smith, after he had pledged him protection, has deprived him of all moral or persuasive influ- ence with the Mormons, and that he has no legal or constitutional power to’ remove them by force He expresses his determination to keep the peace, and actin strict conformity to the law. He exon- erates a large portion of the people of Hancock county from censure; but is very severe upon ano- ther portion. shea 5 Joe Smith is said to have left in his possession a will, or revelation, appointing a successor. Thus this priestly superstition is attempted to be perpe- trated. The baurdities of Mormonism ought to die with the impostor, but the ignorance and stition of mankind is so great, that they yi obedience to religious leaders, and become fanatics of the worst kin Bigotry makes fools of sensible men, and a religions demagogue acqui despotic influence over his infatuated followers, and induces them to believe the greatest possible absurdities.— Religious leaders induce their deluded followers to disregard the evidence ot their own senses, the dic- tates of reason and common sense, and to act in auch a manner as to bring ruin on themselves and others. ‘ From Warsaw.—All is quiet; the troops had been disbanded, and there were no persons under arms. At Quincy the excitement had subsided, and no signs of war or militsry preparation were to beseen, Gev, Ford was stillat that place, what he was doing, or what he intended to do, no one, i avema, could tell. Foster, one of the publishers of the Expositor, was ona visit to hie xcellency.— He went to Nauvoo two or three days since on board the steamer Menona, for the Uae of see- ing to some property which he is the owner of.— During his stay there he was compelled to keep on board the boat, as the most bitter threats of person- al violence were made by the Mormons at him, They told him in plain terms that on the boat he was safe from harm, but should he attempt to set his foot upon the soil of the Holy City, that moment would be his last. He returned on board of the Menona to Goines, for the purpose of ob} taining an interview with the Governer, who, he said, had promised to assist him in settling his busi- ness in Nauvoo. His property there is said to have cost between ten and fifteen thousand dollars.—St. Louis Er, July 6.

Bon. Mormonism, [Correspondence «f the Herald.} Sr. Louis, July 10, 1844. The recent murder of Jo Smith, the Mormon Prophet, under such aggravated circumstances, forces the question upon the mind of every thinking individual, whether the death of the ostensible leader ef the Mormons, is to be the signal of their dispersion or ruin, and whether suffering such prese- cution, they will increase so wonderfully in num- bers and power, as they have done. This, though apparently but of little consequence, is still to every friend of liberty a momentous question. Religious fanaticism and enthusism in every age, has been a stepping stone to power, when rightly directed by a master mind. Witness the examples of Mehomet and Cromwell. These illustrations may be objected to by some, on account of the ig: norance and superstition of those ages, and the com. parative enlightenment of our own; but this though seemingly an insurmountable bar to the propagatior of any new religion, is in reality the principal cause of the success of Mormonism. The greatest enemy ofMahometanism, was the superstition of those ager, and to any other than a person of enthusiastic and persevering disposition, would have been impos+i- ble to overcome it, when after the most laborious effort, he turned the current of that superstition; hir work was done. Their idolatry and veneration centred on him, anda religion was founded which i destined to endure till the end of time. Smith had none of these evils to overcome; the generality of men have at the present time no superstitions to con. flict with Mormonism. Their god is mam- mon,, and if it can be shown them that their interest would be promoted by the change, they become the zealous converts of any system, however ridiculous or dangerous. Among the Mor mons, however, there is but few of this class; the greater portion of them are ot the middle class of people. Industrious, and really honest in their be lief, they are the exact kind of people to form a re ligion, and they will do it Converts are flocking there from all parts of the world, mainly composed of farmers and manufac turers, and are fast becoming powerful and weaithy If the advisers of Smith, the real Mormon leaders, could have restrained him in his fite of violence anc debauchery, he would not have provoked the ange) of his adherents, nor aroused a spirit of persecution among his lawless neighbors, which finally causec his death. We must all regret to see the majesty ofthe law violated as it was in the case of Smith; but still, us: far as the progress of Mormoniem is concerned, thr death of the ostensible leader was Qmost desirable Smith was a man of great obstinacy and some considerable talent, but of violent passions and ex tremely dissolute. Jt was in one of his ceety freaks that the destruction of the press was resolved upon, and all the arguments and entreaties of hie adviser: were repulsed ; the lamentable consequences tha they prophesied, ensued; a spirit of persecution war raised ugainst the innocent Mormons, and Smith was basely murdered. It is to be hoped that assas sins will now desist from any more treasonabl: commotions, or the consequences will be ternble It is abeurd, after all the examples of hist attempt to crueh any religion, however ri by force; its tendency will inevitably be favor to the interests of any system, whatever may be thr object of it. We boast of our freedom and religiow toleration, but in our actions we lamentably falsity our promises. The Mormon Prophet was murderet underthe safe guidance of a Governor of [llinoia,thr murder deeply staining hischaracter, among thovr who arefconversant with the tects of the case. If the murder of Smith was intended to subvert Mormon ism, the assassins have deeply erred. Under thy guidance of leaders, who are determined to submi to the laws, Mormonism is destined to flourish anc yet become the religion of the land. 8. L.R. nine of Sav.

Upon Mr Wright’s reiorn from Washington, he remained ihree days at Lin- denwold; and in the course of a very lew days af- ‘er his departure, a tremendous mas convention was held in Mr. Van Buren’s own county, at which Mr. Wright was unanimously, and by repeated ce monstrations of scclamation, momimated for Go- vernor,and delegates sppointed to carry out the wishes of that meeting at Syracuse.
