They even inti- mate their willingness to fight against the British; aud to show how they will fight, they relate a long and foolish anecdote abouta Quaker on board a vessel attacked by pirates, who, though he would not fight, was willing to kill, and therefore cut a rope by which a drowning man was saving himself, so that he fell into the sea. Afier next stating that they leave their property in Iilinois in the hands of agents for sale, they proceed to defend themselves against the accusations of coining counterfeit money. Their argument in this detence is as follows :—First. They call tor proof, and defy any “miller” or government land agent to come forward and prove that they have passed wagon loads of counterfeit money. Next, they attack the witnesses who have testified against them, by saying, ‘those witnesses against us have spunea long yarn;” and then intimate that the wit- nesses themselves were counterfeiters, and were ex- pelled as such from Nauvoo. ders charged upon them, and a call upon editors to publish their circular, (which they call an article,) they conclude with inviting people to call and buy cheap, and then their prayer will be, &c. This circular is dated in council, at the city of Nauvoo, on the 20ih day of January, 1846. Thus it willbe seen that, with all their boastings of possessing superior wisdom, these people show them- selves very deficient in sober common sense ; nay, they are so incoherent and disorderly in their state- ments as to demonstrate that they are far from that wisdom which loves order, patience, sobriety—and iseminently characterized by a sound mind. These people, in this instance, as well as all people, sects and denominations, in all instances, fully confirm the singular and perfect truth of the Scriptures,which say that those who profess themselves to be wise, There never has been even an ex- ception to this truth—it is confirmed in all cases. ‘The next documents are a pamphlet and a circu- lar from William Smith, the brother of Joe. He styles himself “ Tne Patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints;” asserts that he is the head of the Mormons—that he is the Prophet by suc- He is out against the Twelve, and denounces them, and all who adhere to them, tobe persoas of such bad conduct and wicked deeds that ‘‘tne meanest fiend in hell would hide his face for shame to own suchtfriends.” the measure of emigrating, or going “ into the wil- as he appropriately calls it.

Whatever may be the effect of this Mormonism on the religious matters of the world in the present day, the very fact that the Mormons intend to people the shores on the Pacific is one that must not be lost sight of by the Christian and If they build up an empire at the far West, it will be so much clear gain to the cause of freedom and republicanism ; and any portion of the inhabitants who have the elements of Christianity in them, will become, perhaps, in proper time, the leaders of a great Christian nation, whether they take this start as Mormons or,Mahometans— Jews or 38 artificial beau- grey-headed sire— eas an exbibition of manly strength, well as youthfal intrepidi- 8, when properly conducted, joduce a good effect upon the flourishes—and we can assure our readers thet the amphitheatre,at Palmo’s, is conduct- to please and interest the most | fastidious.
