The treaty throws all tho obligations upon England and France, while Pera is not supposed, according to it, to grant anything tn consideration. Many persons, therefore, fancy that a por¥on of the articles, or their meaning, has been suppreared; for knowing that the English govern. ment ever acts with « sinister or selfieh motive in giving protection to weaker Powers outside of Europe, they are naturally inclined to presume that there is a something at the bottom ofall which it would not at present be adyan™ tageous to the Castilia administration to publish.

Wasemrarom, Jume 25, 1867. In closing my address of August 12, 1856, promulgating ‘the Chesapeake bay and Milford Havem steam ferry pro Jeet, I remarked: ‘In another communication I shall eater imto minute deiails relative to the manner of carrying it ‘gto successful operation, I will now stae, however, that every Southern citizen who choses may become @ co partner in it; that the shares w'il be issued for $100 each; Bo person shal! be »ormitted to subscribe for two or more until all ehall hav: had am; le time to subscribe for one; and that each slav-holding state and the District of Coiombis shail be entitl :d to one er in the coacern.’’ When my address was irnued |; upposed that I should be evabled to secure a charter for » company several months ago; but as it is now quite certain thas one cannot be ob tained before next January or February, I cannot, in view of the manifestations which are sortrikingly furnished me from aay today, longer postpone, without detriment to the enterprise, the commencement of preliminary opera tiuns. rally regarded As chimerica! as this enterprise was when I first communicated it to the public, I dud that even fastidious incredulity 1s endeavoring to get in advance of it, particularly in New York, since it has been discov that through Long Island Sound the Great Eastern may ap proach the confines of that city. It ts strange eaough, cer- tatply, but not moro strange than true, that tho journals which have been most clamorous against the Steam Ferry, ‘alleging that it was entirely too sectional! in its Coaracter, at it was hostile to the conservative sentiments of the Union, that it would beget a dangerous commercial rivairy between the two divisions of country, that it would weep alive the slavery agitation, ip short, chat it was almoas of treasonable ee appear to be overjoyed atth> proepect of ap early vieit of the Great Eastern North ern port. Whata remarkable and {astructive v of the homely adege, ‘' circumstances alter case. Ip October, 1865, after having carefully examined the Leviathan, tben in early progress of construction, | called im company with two distinguished Amert:ans, to see Me Brunel, her erchie:t and originator, in order to wxcertain what the chances were of inducing hin to make the Cuesa res. her dertinstion, He promptly informed me, al is tens g to my own representations, aud subrequeaily to those of my friends, that he could wot hoid out theslignt emt encouragement that it would be in bis power to com pty with my wishes, Inasmuch as xh was expressly in tended for the Australian wade, and, hat in her design she bad been arranged wccordingly. Yt was then expecter that she would be ready for sea in the following August Ins month or two, however, after thiv interview, Mr Scott Russell, her enterprising constructor, fowud him self unable ‘to comply with bis engagements, aai an entire suspension in the construction occurred, whith Jasted several months, Im the mran time the Company became dispirited, and several of the stockho! ders, a8 I was told, rather than make additional advaaces, were inclined to abandon the undertaking in despair. While affairs were In thie almost hopeless condition, capi talists, having large interests in the Grand Canata Trunk Railroad, proposed to divide the amount requirea for ber completion, upen the coadition that she would ron tempo rarily wo Portland instead of Melbourne. Tho prop wi ion was assenied to, not from choice, perhaps, but from ue- ceseity. be will, therefore, a I am now assured on relia ble authority, unquestionably proceed to that city a4 soon ‘ax she is prepared for se’ vice, which, It is believed, will be in Oc‘ober; aod from thence she may steam around to New York (making the run inten or twelve honrs,) and abide there two or three days for profitable exhibition. Until recently I did not suppose her commitments to go to Portland were 80 obligatory, As soon as the Great Kastean is removed from her stocks it {s the intention of the company to commence the con: struction of a companion for her in the Australian line, and the two will constitute regular packets between Milford Haven and Fort Philip. Hence there is but little likelihood that she will ¢ngage permanently in the trans-Atlantic twace. She may be far from perfect la her proporuons and in her machinery, but she will assuredly develope a principle in navigation which will accomplish as great a revolution i ocean carrying as the locomotive has accom lished on 'and. To be ready to turn this principle to the yest account, at the earliest possible how , is a daty which Southerners owe net only to themselves but to their pos- terity. If this doeg not occur Iam resolved that it shall not be attributable to @ want of energy on my part. ‘After mature reflection the plan propoved in my address for raising @ sufficient amount of money to consummate the steam ferry project was incomparably the most pra: ticable as well as the most desirable one which suggested itself to my mind. Itis, a8 is explained ia the quotation from that address, to obtain it by individoal s ibscriptions, each member of a family to have the privilege of subscribing for a share of one hundred doliars, but nove to be permitted to take two or more enti! an opportunity shall have been afforded to all to subserive for one. As the more imme. aiate benefits which are to be derived from the enterprise ‘will be generally diffured in the circle of ite operations, so Was it thought of primary importance to distribute’ as equally as porsible the rtock inthat circle. la my opinion there 4 no way in which one bundred doUars will be em- ployed for aterm of ten years more profitably as aa in vestment—apart from the evbanced value of property which it would occasion—and there is certainly none which would afford #0 mach agreeable interest, regardiess of its pecupiary earning, tothe stockholders. ax well to the old as the young, the rich as the poor, thore of the sea- board as of the interior—the joyous, animating, cheering performances of the steam ferry woald become as ‘familiar in their mouths as household words.”’ I bave seen kings saved from bankruptcy by small loans‘from sheir subjects, ‘and costly testimonials to worth purchased oy penny con: tributions from the earpings of industry. The Southerner has never been outdone in judicious liberality, and be can be safely counted upon in the present instance. But there are prudential considerations why the money required for the undertaking should be raised tn the man- ner decided upon. For the first year or two it is not like- ly that dividends would be declared, and if the stock were owned by capitalists it would ly descend to a low point of value, and subsequently find ite wey into the pos- teseion of parties who would t-ansfor tho vessels to an an- tagonistic service. Capital seldom works from disinterest- ed motives. Patriotism looks exclusively to benigo ro. sults, The solitary stockholder in the steam ferry would be ratisfied with successful experiments in behalf of the common weal until ample time was allowed for the enter- prise to display ite merits in (ull grandeur. . It seems to be ly believed that the Southern Con. vention at Savannah did nothing more than adopt strong resolutions in favor of the steam forry. This is @ great mistake. That body, prior to its adjournment, informally addressed to me the following letter, whieh, from a tour I made in a half dozen Southern States, | am persuaded em bodies the sentiment of !'s constituency Savannan, Dee. 1866.

Now he court dered that Mormonism aid present sufficient claim, not only te dererve, but also to demand s ‘me lera ion Were he to address them in the capacity of a philosopher, he would tell them that Mormorism devolo, ed the powers ‘and capacity of the mind in a way that ro cther system did at the present day; ifas a politician, he should teli them that a large party was growing up la the centre of their republic, whose je % was the deetruction of the government under which it was their happiness to live, which party was increasing day by day, aad would by and bye, unless arrested, be enadled to demand the nghw ; ‘® philaawhopist, be should yoint ‘and thousands who were now being eda re living under « sys em of the greatest tyrappy, and the greatest licentiousness Gut in whaevor Capacity be addréasedt them, the subject was sufllviently interesting ta dererve, and of sufiicieu: impo: tance to de mand their undivicea atention It was, also, important to kx ow what oppor-unity the lecturer had of becoming ac qvaipted with the subjects, and whether had an im ro per motive in their disclosure. He was going to prove to them that Mormonism was utterly corrupt, intenable ‘amd ridiculous, and it was natural that his audience should know his opportuaities of gleaning the fxcts he should tay before them, and alo bis motive in makiog these dis closures. Ard It might therefore be asked of him how ic was, if Mormon’ im was the wholly ridiculous and cor. Tupt system he ulleged it to be, he was over led to en brace it; and how it was, if be had pot known these things at the time he #0 em braced it, that he did not im. medietely renounce it on becoming’ aquainted with the facte? His reply to this wouid be, that Mormonism in Fogland—the country in which he embraced it—aad Mur mobi-m in the United States was entirely a aiifvrent system to the Mormoniem practised in Utan; and that he, desir ng to know God and become acquainted with bis werd, had embraced Mormonism with thix view, being led away by the falre representations he received of its doctrines; and thus having embruced it at an earby age, it had grown up with bim, aod as his mind matured it matured in Morm io i-m, and ali his views of religion wore derived from Mor mon sources. Lp this state of mind he had gone to Sait lake in 1863. But why, on discovering his mistake, did be not then renounce the creed? In Engiand the Mor. mons bad dented the doctrine of polygam ; ao 1 had even gone so far as to denounce itas a doctrine of devils, yet when be went to Salt Lake, the Grst thing he saw was one of these apostles in company wih six or seven wives But principles instilled into the mind as these bad been in stilied iato bis, were not to be eradicated in one week or one month, and Brigham Young bad not a very difficnit task in convincing bim of the purity of that syatem which ft was his own desire to condnue pure. But constantly hearing of robbery, murder and racking he could not help learning the real reason why the citizens of various counties of the State in which they hved, rose un agaiow them and endeavored to banish them He beard them boast of these things—of how they plowed and killed with the utmost impunity, &&. Whea he binted bis doubts and perplexities to Elder K Pratt, with whom he had been intimate with in England, that individual toli him that he wa not in his right sphere—that he should be employed tn the ministry when bis efforts at convincing the min¢sof other men wonld end in coavincing bisown He etill tried to believe in ‘their doctrines for his wife berself was a Mormon, and ne went out to California, where he was appol tod over a company going to the Sandwich Islands; and then, waen on the broad , with no eye upen him bat the eye of God, and no to commune with except the spirit of God, then he felt and found bis duty, and began to under stand the position in which he had been placed, and be come acquainted with the real facts of the case, and ne found the people every where searching for I'ght, auxious to know Mormonism as it really was—not as it was glo-sea over and falsified by its friende—not as it was stigmatized ‘and aggravated by i enemies, and not as it was micunder stood and unappreciated by persoas who had no onporta nity of becoming acquainted #ith ic; and he felt it bis duty to his friends and to hir God, who bad let him fee -e er rors of his me of mind he went to the Sandwich Trlan proclaimed the t-uth, and also came back to Call w do so and wae here to-night in pursuance of the same purpose; and bis information, which was gleaned from the best aathorities was not denied even by the Mormns themselves, and his ‘motives for making there disciosures were open to God and the world. In ¢iscursing Mormonism a a religion ne should advert to some of the re igious dogmas of that sect In the early history of the church polygamy was eatiraly denied tn the strongest terms by Joe Smith himself, ax ebewn by his book on Mormoniem, snd man having more thad one wife was looked upon as having commit ¢ adultery. This was Joe Smith’s doctrine in (830, when the chorch was organized. In 1838, when the church bad extended to Minebeipp!, tis salacity desired another wife, ‘and his impudence an revelaion, and then commenced the practice of polygamy although it was ati!) covstantly denied, In 1842, however, Mrs. Fumes Smith, his first wife, began to get very uneasy and unhappy and apgry,and ft being neces: to sorc'liate ber he got up another revelation in 1843, allowing bim to pravtise poly. gamy, but still it wae constantly denied by tue charch, although one by one the leading men were {vi ated into it And after it bad been practised from 1838 to 1845, seven years, these same men. professing ets and of Jeeus Christ, again denied it notwitastanding that Joe Smith practised it and that Brigham bimeelf had six or seven wives. But in 1852 Brigham found it impossible to conceal it any longer from the world, and the revelation of 1863 was read ia 854, and a lectore delivered on it, Brigham Young justifying tt in most remarkable And the doctrine o' polygamy was every thing a Mormon could pretend to boast of every blessing, every power, every privilege was in some way connected with this dogma he asserted that Mor- monism as a religion had no bieesiag whatever to bestow which was not in some way connected with sensuality. The lecturer then went into « lengthy and rich expwé of the evils attending the doctrine of polygamy, illustrating bis position by various individual instances, and preving it ccnclusively to be an institution teeming with cruelty licentiousuere, wickednens and immorality, and alao to be at variance with the laws of God, which was shown by the ro markable fact that taking the whole of the world together there were more male than female inhabitan's. Then came the important question, how was this evil to be remedied 7 ‘The population of the Territory was being constantly Increased by emigration as well as by the rising generation It was a difficult point to decide; but one thing was cer tain, whether they survived but for a few years or for » t length of time, they were constantly sinning againat the laws of nature and the laws of God, and it was cer tain that God would by and by rise in all his strength and ‘all bis supremacy sweep this great and growing evi! from the face of the earth. The seaond lecture on this subject, which was announc ed for Wednerday evening, di no’ take place, the reason of which we did not — and the oaly osnclasion we can arrive at is that ihe lecturer has decided upon postponing its delivery, in order to secure a larger audience by giving 1 greater publicity. No‘withstanding this fact, however, no notice having been given of ita postponement, @ number of persons assembled round the chapel, and waited pa pe | for « long time, fully anticipating that the lecturer would arrive, but they were a} th convinced of the tallacy of the idea, and were obliged to retire very mach dixappointed, and jetgies from their looks very much mortified and chagrined. .
