Friends and Brethren—Again has our national jubilee arrived, laden with the rich fruits of peace and industry, the summer harvest, aad greeting of our friends and brethren, gathering home into the vallays of the mountains. Where, four years o this day, was only hesrd the chirping of the oricket, the howling of the wolf, and the yell of the Andian, now the hum of industry and the voivse of gladness have broken the spell; the silence of the eternal hills has departed, and the foering of the cataract responds to the clattering mill. Tae past! the past'! the history of the past, rushes upon the mind with the remembrance of who we are, and from whence we came; that like the mighty oak which has withstood the to ‘© of the torrid zone, dares to lift its head and beuold the devastation spread around, we jos! ach other to know that We are awake, and recourse to the mirror to know that it is us. Let us look into the mirror of the past. tn fe yee of our Lerd one thousand eight hua- dred and thirty, on tho sixth day of April, the Charch of Jesus Christ was or, ter, Ontario county, New York, qaembers. Soon after this, they moved to Kirtland, Ohio, where, in the midst of opposition aad bitter perse- cution, they continued to grow and incroase, and proved that truth is mighty and powerful In 1834 the church removed in what was called the camp of Zion, into the State of Missouri. In the winter of 1538-39, the church was expelled from the State of Missouri, by a murderous mob, under the exterminating order of Governor Lilburn zed at “anches- nd cou ted of six W. Boggs. In the year 1844, on the 27th day of June, the mob of Iilinois murdered, in cold blood, the Pro- phot Joseph and Patriarch Hyrum Smith, while corfined ia jail, under the oto, of safety and pledge of the Governor of lilinois, Taomas Ford In the fall of 1845, after pormicting the mob to @o on burning the houses of the saints fur ten days, Without raising a band to defend themsetves, the church ventured to interposo the strong arm of power, the mcb were disperred, and in consequence thereof, the church were compe'led. in order to save themecives from impending destruction, to treat for their safety by flight iato the wilderness. In the following winter and spring of 1346, the church, in accordence with the provisions of seid treaty, left their homes, and in the most meat season of the year, amid storms of snow, families, crossed the ice of the Mississippi, sued their journey westwi not knowiag when they should find ng place. In the same spring, while upon this toilsome march, the government atthe United States required @ bar talion of five hundred men, to leave their families in this precarious situation, without money, provisions, or friend, other than the God whom they serve, to perform a campaign of over two thousand miles on foot, across trackiess deserts and burning piaias, to ight the battles of their country; even that coun- try which had afforded them no protection from the ruthless ruffians who had plundered them of their ‘operty, robbed them of their rights, waylaid pm in their peaceful habi:ations, and murdered them while under the safeguards of their pledged faith. That country that could the bar- barity, under such peculiar circumstances, to make such & requirement, could have no other object in view than to finish, by utter extermination, the work which had so ruthlessly begun. ‘The battalion marched. The residue of the camp, in povorty, sickness, and death, remained in ho vel msheds, and wagons, on the banks of the Mis- souri. While a upon this campaign, with scarcely « Rome of ever returning to the bosom their fami- ,or if they should n to live to return. perhaps it would be only to fi oir families mouldering in nearly grave—while thus a the remnant, who, through poverty, had not able to go away, were de: upon by the infuriated mob, who, thirsting for the blood of the saints, were de- termined to o! rather than give them a . 18 Wives, sisters, and child- Ten, of the battalion were thas mobbed, plundered, and driven, while they were in the service of the ‘United States. In the spring of 1847, one hundred and forty- three men left the camp on Missouri's dark and turbid waters, to finda place where a settlement could be » Where the reh could rest in peace. ‘They arrived in the valley of the Great it Lake, a on the 24th day of July, 1847, selected broke ground, built » fort, put in seed, and returned to their families the same season; the spring of the next ensuing year, 1545, found them, togethor with their families, on their way to their new location So much for history; and what a history, to have trans; in aland of light and liberty, of yoy ome freedom, celebrated for its intelligence, ite volent institutions, general diffusion of knowledge, and just ana equitable administration of justiee eli the anniversarics taat might be cole- brated, that the memory dwells upon with peou- liar feeltngs of interest; of recollections dire, and deep fraught with ¢ emotion to which the hu- man heart is susceptible, this, the 24th day of Jaly, the anniversary of the arrival of the sin ‘this valley, has been selectei as the dawning of « brighter doy, as an era in the his! of this peo- ple, upon which turned the axis of their destiay. Of the energy, a tact, endurance, sacrifices recjuisive for the accomplishment of such ‘fa task, I leave to be pictured forth by abler minds. T also leave hievory of the past, which treads upon the memory like the dying monns of the etcrmy omy still vivid with the hightoing’s glare, ‘and usher in the happy present, which, like the calm summer of content, crowns on hearts with smiles, of beauty, redolent with the rich po hod of the summer harvest, the quiet enjcyment of poace, and in possersion of freedom, the Treedom of the key ot the continent. Here let ‘a tribute of gratitude ascend to the great Jenovah, who sits exthroned in the midet ofbis kingdoms, that He bas turned our sadpess into juy, our mourn ing into rejoicing, as it ts thie day. We are now surrounded with the comforts, aye, the luxaries of life, and permitted to enjoy the same in pence, safe from the midnight marauders. the bloody assassins, who fo jong sought our des:ruction and overthrow. It has been thought by some that this people, abused, maltreated, insulted, robbed, plundered, murdered, and finaliy distranchised and eapatriated, would naturally feel repagnsnt vo gain unite their destiny with the American Hay ae preferring rather to associate with the less refined, lens enlightened, and less phiiantbropic, inasmuch as tbeir superior intelligence appeared to be ox ercised to devise the most wanton, cruel, and das tardly means for the accomplishment of our ruin, overthrow, and utter extermination. No wonder then, that it was thought by some, that we would not again submit ourseives (even while we were yet seorned and ridiculed) to return to our allegiance to our native country. Kemember, it was by the oct of onr country, not ours, that We wore expatri: Ww which dictated us. That se wep cay those institutions were all ours; they are still ours.

Be- cause de: had arisen and seized the reins of power, should we relinquish our interest in that country made dear to us by every tie of association and consanguinity? Because of the momentary triumph of anarchy and confusion, of cerruption, effeminacy, and the dar ascendancy of polluted politicians, who cannot refrain from desecrating the soil in which their fathers lie entombed, should we abandon those tombs! aye, more; their yet living pageesentasiven and those sacred spots where our infancy learned to lisp their honored namest— Should we, for reasons such as these, wrap ourselves in the mantle of insulted rights, dignity, and ide, even though enclosing in our arms the innocent victims of treachery and blood stained honor, and seek the overthrow of that government, of that country, of those institu- tions, whoge o: fault is the want of goodand faithful administrators, who dare, in the hour of their org ed peril, step forth and stem the tor- rent that threatens to evgulph all in the wide spread vortex of anarchy and ruin? Those who have indulged such sentiments concerning us, have not read Mormonism(aright; for never, no, never, will we desert our country’s cause; never will we be found arrayed by the side of her enemios, al- though she herself may cherish them in her own bosom. Although she may launoh forth the thunderbolts of war, which may return and spend their fury upon her own head, never! no, never! will we permit the weakness of human nature to triumph over our love of sountry, our devotion to e institutions, led down to us by our honored sires, made dear by a thousand tender recollections, although we feel the strong arm o oppression, and writbe under the keen cruelty of the tyrant’s rod; but rather stand aloof while sho welters under the withering curse of the Almighty Jebovah for the shedding of innocent blood; rather eek ashelter from the impending storm which no arm can stay, until she has received the full mea- eure ofthe indignation of insulted innocence, the just demerit of all her crimes. Then will she con- tider the past; then will she see, in the sad extre- mity to which she will be driven, the unrighteous course she has pursued towards us; then will sho look to the yor defenceless Mormons whem she has murdered, persecuted, and driven for succor. ‘Then will the Basin State, panoplied in the power of righteousness and truth, step forth to her coun- try’s rescue. Then will the patriotism of the saints shine forth, and the ship of state glide swifsly on in the pathway of honor and renown, emitting glory on ali around, and being guided by those who are not ashamed to seck counsel from Him who is eter- nal, shed her beacon light to those who wander in darkness, extending her benign influence to earth’s remotest bounds. But bere we are, in Deseret. I congratulate you, my friends, that after having sustained our- selves in our weakness, through perils, the severest perhaps that ever ha» fallen to the lot of any peo- ple, that now as we hove begun to gather strength and power, our great National Father has seen proper to extend his protecting care. Thanks, thanks, for the severest trial of all is yet to come; for seely in prosperity we have not hitherto been trie Our territory is about being organized. Our officers are here, and if they should find that we vary in our views, in our sentiments and policy, from that to which they have been accustomed, they must remember that we have learned in the school of experience, ina school of adversity, to which we most sincerely hope that they nor us ge viene be subjected. ‘ehave before us the wide spread domain of public lands, rich in natura! resources, flowing with cool, clear rivulets, a buoyaat and life inspiring at- mosphere, whero health invigorates, nd nature’s sublimity exalts. We breathe the free, pure air, drink of the freo, cool fountain, and cultivate the free earth in peace, and thank the Lord who hath, in the abundance of his mercy, vouchsafed unto us 50 goodly an heritage. In prosperity, then, we shall be tried, and happy willitbe for us, if we shall have wisdom to appreciate the timely assistance of our felends to pass us through tho fiery ordeal. The in- fluence of power -is great, the in‘luence of wealth is power, but the infuence of iatelligence is both wealth and power, and circumscribes in its cir- ouit all other influences, celestial, terrestrial, and celestial, social, political, or divine. Happily may we pursue our course, if divesting ourselves of our traditions, prejudices, and ignorance, we shail become the recipients of that intelligeace whose fountain is God, and whore destiny is eternity.

Our citizens are, at last, about to enjoy a treat. Jenny Lind has consented to give a concert in To- ronto on the night of the 17th instant She is to be assisted by Belletti and several other profes- sional gentlemen. It is said that Miss Lind, with her characteristic liberality, is to dovote the pro- ceeds of the be to the charitable institutions of the city.

We live on thie side of the lake, under responsi- ble government; but what is meant by the term it would be very difficult to discover. The eabinet was dissolved when | wrote you last, and up to this time, no new formation has been divulged. Mr. Morin, the speaker of the last parliament, arrived in town from Montreal, yesterday morning, with a view to reconstruct the ministry, and he and Fran- cis Hincks,‘are hand and'glove in the matter,so that in all probability, Morin will step into the position vacated by Lafontaine, and will thus become the leader of the Lower Canadian section of the pro- vince. He seems of later years to have recoiled from his broad democratic views, sothat there is no say- ing how tory he may become ere he stops. He will not make as effective a leader as Lafontaine, as he has not the same unbending will, and is more subject to yield to extraneous influence. It is ru- mored that Dr. Rolph is not to be one of the min- itry; lam afraid the rumor is correct, forif so, there is pot another Upper Canadian with the same inflgence to supply his place, and an intor- minable war of races must ensue. The fact is, that Vapee Canada will not submit much longer to be snubbed and domineered over by the lower por- tion of the province. That ill-assorted union, con- tracted for the purpose of suppressing the French Canadian influences, has turned out to work quite the reverse. The old, corrupt, antiquated, monarchical system of representation s‘ill continues, and the foolish arrangements mado at the union, requiring a two-thirds vote of the whole represen- tatives, to make an alteration in the law, touching the equalization as representation, prevacts the most distant Serato to anyth' ap: age jus- hear, indeed, now and u ls ffrage and vote by but ifit is amongst a certain they immedi- ately put their hands to their pockots fo feel for their purse, gue they have got amongst a par- | branch of the Ottawa travelled, with the exception of that between t terminus of the railroad beyond Marion pi stl bus, in Georgia. doer three gearecinge. epeige was let off from e au canal for urpose of repairing it, and the adjacent conntry was Modded for some pacha The result was @ corresponding amount of fever and te which extended its ravages to the shores ri ‘St. Lawrence. ifty miles below Brockville is an inanimate vil- lage called Cornwall, opposite which, at St. Regis, the United States line strikes the 3t.

The fourth, known as the Intermittent Spring, is situated about two miles distant, and is much moce saline than the others. ‘The soil in the vicinity of the Ottawa is very good, and | have seen fine specimens of gray raised by a Scotch gentleman, who has Forided near Bytown during the last thirty years, and whe is one of the few persons in that section of the pre- vince who bave attended to agricultural pursuits.
