fueco-*. for she undoubtedly has talent which dc
?*rve.s success. but that her being put forward as a
MaliVirau and a first rat* artist, is owing to a vio

the mutual critic of the lxmdon Tinii*. Ho was, it.
is said, desperately in love with her, and hence all
the extravagant things which bare been said of her
tine singing. But all the critics, and some who are

of the Time*. Among other sound criticisms, tako

at that time were the contrary of all the clnqwrx,
Jbut hnve been confirmed since. She has not sung
anywhere for the last two months, because tholiou-e
3s empty when the sing?. Such is the plain fact,
though I understand by a letter from a friend, which
.has reached me from New York, that ray former
letter, previous to my departure for Spain, wm con
tradicted by another letter from Paris.
Politic* are f.U nonsenw ? I shall not trouble my
self with them; no one talks about politics now; the
gentlemen prefer tulking love to the ladies instead
of meddling with affairs of State, which here, at least
for the present, are not the affairs of the people, who
have nothing to do with such things. I send you,
however, the following letter from a frieud, a man
of great eminence in the political world, and a well
known journalist, whose name I am not at liberty
to mention. I have translated it, and send it
a.-, a curiosity. It wn* sent to me with great
mystery, as a piece of political boldness which it
would not be safe to publish in Paris. You will gee
what your craven spirits, the Parisians, are, when
all the boiling feelings of a patriot amouut to no
more than the following. He says: ?
'? lti spite of all the frfirh'.ful or absurd reports which
malevolence or credulity 1i#t? set in eirculiitinu, France is
calm, und reposes with confidence in tbs wisdom of her
new government. Not that w adept with enthusiasm ?U
Ins measures. I.ut we wkh to see what the effect oi them
will Ik* Thi- is i^uilc a ti' Tcl *tiit' of feeling n^noui? u*
auU deservo* to he taken notice of to our honor."
It was different undor Louis Philippe, for then
every measure of the government, good or bad. mot
with immediate and indiscriminate opposition. The
bowg. did not reflect that this course would end
in destroying the government. They sco it now
and therefore swear (though too late) that they wil
nercr be caught in suoh a trap again. On thi
account Ihey feel well disposed towards the new
government, and receive with docility and patience
inua-iurcs which they dislLkc. and which seriously
displease them.
Among these is to be reckoned the new decree or
law of the President against the National Guard,
which be has reduced from 100,000 men to 40,000, at
most. The citizens wire fond of playing soldiers,
and the loss of thtir swords and epaulettes will ,
grieve them. Such is the end of the National
Guard. established first. ?,y Lafayette, and from
which iiOui-i Philippe suffered much, by the impor
tance be attached to the bayonets of the citizens.
Apropos of bayonets, the following is a jtu d" esprit
of M. Guisot, on the bayonet revolution effected by
Louis Napoleon on the 2d of Heceraber. When told
that Louii Napoleon was supported by 400,000 bayo
nets, ho said, "Vory true, very true; one muy be
supported by bayonets, but no one can stand upon
them."
This fxni mot is as true a? it if witty, for Napoleon
himself acknowledged the instability of bayonets.
He said there were but two powers, " the sword and
the mind; but, in the tnd, the latter always con
quers the former."
Looia Napoleon understands the spirit of his un
elc's words, and therefore is founding institution* to
bo in harmony with his gtcot power, in which mind
will march Land in band with the sword. Notwith
standing the immense number of votes of the 20th
December. France is still agitated greatly by social
ists; bonce the'neeessity of severe measures. Great
numbers of socialists voted for Louis Napoleon, for
they love Louis Blanc and Louis Napoleon with
equal devotion. Such is one of the effects of the
pfe-tigo of the name of Napoleon. Tie d< part men ts
which were mostly sociali?t, and sent reds to the
Assembly, all voted for Louis Napoleon. One of
their representatives snij to me, six months ago,
when I s Ked him if he thought the Prince would l>e
re-elected in his depaitmmt, ' Yes, '"he said, "there
are two men sure to be re-elected in my department;
they are the Prince and I. " Thus, peasants, women,
oHuois, ail voted for the Prince, nephew of Na
poleon; and there is every reason to believe t tint
they H ill be pleased with h'm and his government.
As to the opposition of the salons, the government

Paris is gayer than ever. I have boon to several
distinguished parties, and have my hands full for
several others to coin*. One of tho most interesting
of these was that of I)r. and Mrs. L , at their
hotel, Faubourg St. Germain. The following account
of it I extract from the FashitmahU Bullrtin, as 1
have not time to givo you the full partiouiar# ui/

[Kxtract from Le Bulletin do Paris.]
Besides tlit* official receptions, which have been very
brilliant, (especially those of MM Tortoul and PersJi?
ny. when* the tlitt of literature and the fine art* were
fully represented.) we were present at two ningnifloent
private soiree h. The first wiw that of Dr. Lardoer,
tbo learned author of tlic Encyclopedia, which boars nis

Faubourg St. llcrmaln. a custom which has lx*?n quite

talncd with scientific exhibitions, but also thero wus rau
nic nnil dancing Cavcllo improvised several sentimental
i melodies: M'lle Oarcia (now become Madame Leonard )
! sane to the great "delight of the company, by whom she
was much applauded. This applause was redoubled by
j the appearance of Mr. beonnrd. who performed exqui
i nitely on the violiu. M'lle Clauss and Mons. Savary, per
I formed in brilliant style two choice pieces, one on the
| piano and the other on the violoncello. More than three
i hundred persons were present at this brilliant soirtr,
?which will l>c succeeded by others of the same kind
The other brilliant suiret. the rival of the above, whieli
we have spoken of. was thi.t of Baron Krnouf. nou-in-taw
i of Mr. Uignoly whom the Emperor Napoleon left as one
i of the ox**eiU<>rn of his w:ll and churped him with tho
I eon, ink. -ion of writing the history of tho diplomacy oi
' hit* re Igii. &.c. 6lC.
Another delightful party, which 1 attended last
nigbt, was Hint given by the Marchioness de Guadal
casa. This distinguished lady is a neiee of the fa
mous Talleyrand, and stands high in the great so
ciety of Paris. She is the widow of a Spanish
grandee, and in her youth was greatly celebrated
and admired for her wit and beauty, as she now i.t
for her amiable manners and high breeding. She
bus delightful receptions every week, whioh I ?m
almost forced to attend, for she is quite angry with
me if I once miss being there, ller husband was an
intimate friend of Ferdinand VII. of Sj>ain, and
shared his captivity with him undor Napoleon, be
fore he recovered his throne. The weekly receptions
at Mr. Goodiich's, the American Consul, are nlso de
lightful . One meets thore the elite of American society
in Paris. It is an agreeable and pleasant reunion. I
met there Mr. Scars, of Norfolk, Virginia, uu Ame
rican of fortune residing at Paris, lie is a perfect
gentleman: irgood spccitncn of the real Virginian,
noble by nature, such as I have ever found thoin.
Mrs. Scars, bia lady, 5s a most aooomplinhed
woman ; thty are well known here in fashiona
ble society, and give splendid parties. Mr. Good
rich represents his country well ; ho is quito
livelv and interesting, as well as solid and instiuc
iive ? one sees in him the personification of the
amiable Peter Parley. His lady is a charming,
lady-like i>crson; and his daughter a sweet little
American beauty. Afterall.it must bo confessed
the American ladies bear away the palm for beauty.
They surpass the English, and equal the French in
grace; while in complexion and rare delicacy of fea
tures, they are superior to both of them. I am
going to-morrow evening to a grand entertainment
given by the Haronncss (iourgand, in the most fash
ionable quarter of Paris. It is to be a highly distin
guished party; you sec 1 have as much as I can at
tend to. ^
Paris, Feb. 12, 1852.
The AtitnijMal As*ax.iinotion of the (Jnt?n of Spain
? The Character of ha Mia ? Soiree j ? Shopjring in
Paris and New York ? The tier/ American Presi
dent.
I gave you in my last all the particulare I knew
at the time of the attempted assassination of the
young Queen of Spain. Never was indignation
more generally felt among all classes of jtersons.
and all ."hades of politic*'1, than on this occasion. I
never heard so much sympathy expressed, and in
deed the amiable character of this lovely und ehii rul
ing woman, is fully deserving of it all. Having
j seen and known her so lately, the event impressed
i me more than perhaps it otherwise would have
done. I have met her walking on the I'rada in
crowds of people, with a-< much familiarity and sim
plicity of demeanor as anv of our ladies vyilking in
Brondwuy, Her kind and good qualities are uni
versally appreciated in Madrid, and, 1 think, are not
unknown in the United State*. Hhe must Iks en
deared to many mothers and wives there for her
generous behavior to the misguided youths who
were taken pri oners in Cuba, u pint of her domin
ion' which, enticed by deceivers, thev had pirati
cally invaded. She is said to have wept over let
ter addressed to her by mothers in America, pray- |
ing for clemency for their fOu?. and she jiardoned
novei ul on such letters received before she pardoned
them all. Even whcr. tier life was in danger, and it
was not known hut that the wound might be fatal,
^ie entreated that the a tsas in might uot be ]>ut to
?hath on her account. If it had not been for the !
hone of her stays, which arrested the point of the |
knife, the fatal instrument would have ]>enetrated j
her bowels. Thin is the be't argument 1 think that ;
couhl be given in favor of stays ? at least for Queens.
i am so tired with balls, and parties, and soirees,
and operas, and theatres, and vaudevilles, and
Counters, and Duchesses, and Marquises, &o., &e.,
kc., in this gay and lively city, that 1 will
grunt you a respite for the present from any men
tion of them, and alto lo myself a little rest from
their fatigue. I am obliged to decline going lo the
Minister'.- party to-night, ami to the ball of the Pre
fect at the Hotel dc Villc in a few night', and to
tbeJardin d'Hiver. and to tweuty others, out ?f
tin er fatigue.
A.- to politics, no one think.* o( politics ? rice I"
bopatillt is the universal watchword, ?. r. "fully ?nd
nonfcense forevtr, down with dirty j>olitic8.'' Those
who want to know anything about French polities,
and the thing- going on here, are obliged t? refer to
(lie English papers; l?r nothing at all is known
about these things in Pari*. One might as well bo
in Kam-kntska for any insight into present French
history. Therefore you need not place much dc
pimhnccon any letters from Pari- prof"- ng t<>
give you Frcnch news. The people of the tinted
States? even the remotest farmers in Illinois? know
as much, and io sonic particulars, rnoro of present
French luMory Olid politic*, than the people oi
France. All WO know is that the Saviour of Franca
continue? to save France tho trouble of thinking,
and the papers, In conscquence, are not worth road
itijr. as tbey consist of nothing but flatteries of tho
taviv.ir o: France ?ud tl? rwtoror H
with M> unbounded admiration of all his ac ts and
bommm. Bone of the English papers, duly influ
enced, follow in the same BtyU>
I hare already mentioned what an expensive place
Pari* is, especially for Americana. Formerly the
English were looked upon by tho Kronoh as tho rich
people, and regular pigeon* for plucking, but now it
in changed, and instead of calling every Englijhman
a Milord Angiais, they take every Amorican to bo
a great personage and a millionaire. And, to toll
the truth, the American* koep up the character by
their much greater liberality and freedom in expeu
diture than the English. Whatever tho English
might have been in former days, thoy aro now be
come a mean, shabby, niggardly set? that is, in the
general, leaving room, of course, for some noble ex
ceptions. As to Paris goods, Paris clothe*, silks,
shoes, fee., let me say a few words. It is a folly iu
any of our New York peoplo to send hero to Pari*
for any of those things, as many of thom often do;
for oertainly they oan bo got better and choaper in
New York. I have been better fitted with ladios'
and slippers at Jeffries, iu New York, than I
Cftn k- here in Pari*. As to prices of silks, &o., I
have boaj^t them as cheap and as good at Stewart's
and Deck's, i*. Broadway, as I can here; at least
the difference is rery trifling. Parisians, perhaps,
may get suoh things ohcaper, but I dofy a stranger
to do so. 1 think, in justioo toNew York tradesmen,
the fashionable people in Now York (tho real Paris
of America) ought to know all- this, and be con
tented with tho good things and moderate prioos
thoy have at home. In hasto, It. A. B.
P. 8.? Can you tell mo who is to be noxt President?
I am asked on ovory hand ? >?nt I mn entirely igno
rant on the subject. Among all tin? uiatesinon I havo
seen during my visits to Washington, I would profer
Mr. Buohanan of Pennsylvania. He is both a nw tea
man and a gent Ionian, nnd that is a combination of
qualities you will not find in tho character of many of
the Washington politicians. Do say something for
him and his oauso. II. A. B.

gm | will thank you to print, as soon as .V"1* '
can, Iho substanoe of thin letter. Considered only J
as news, it ought to bo worth your while. There is }
great curiosity everywhere to hear about the Mor- j
idous, ond eagerness to know all tho ovil that can ,
ln.> spoken of thom. Announce you, that I am ft

President of the Quorum of Heronries, and the like ;

I actor's divoroe trial lately, that will not be greedy
j lo read all I have to say ui>on the filthier accusa
i tions that havo been brought against me and my
friends and brethren. This is what I count unon
thank falsehood. And, if you will publish my letter
ontiro, 1 will ask for no editorial help from you. 1
am no writor, but? with the help of the Power of
Liirht? am not afraid of what you can nay against
us? so long as 1 walk by tho rule of my Master.
You walk by the rude working of your fancies.
1 must say 1 havo had my doubts about writing
out upon these matters, my doing so not being ap
proved by our dclegato in Congress, I>r. Bcrnhisel.
The l>octor is one ot our gentlemon at home?a real
gentleman, and would not say n rough word, or do a i
rough thing, to hurt the feelings, or knock off the
spectacles of any man for the world. But 1 ain no
gentleman, in his sense at least, and have had slights
enough put upon me, i>ersonaHy, since 1 came east
ward, lo entitle mo to any amount of stand up self
defence. Dr. Boruhisel's official course m this mat
ter, I suppose 1 am bound U> accept, lor I ha\e under
stood that he had the advieo of experienced men,
who said to him, "Take up the report of the tluee
officers criminating your const ituents, when it comes
tiom the Stutc Pcpartnient into the House; ask
I for a (special committee, with power to scud for per
sons and papers, and put the false witnesses on oath;
but don't stoop to wrangle upon your religion, mo
iiilx, and poliiicul opinions with Mr. Webster or tho
Congressmen at huge, whom the country considors ;
to Imve enough todo to take care of their own."
This is all very well, and very high, and mighty,
mid dignified certainly; but while the grass grows
the cow starves ? while Congress is taking its months |
t0 do the work of a day, the verdict of the public goes |
against ue ? as the law word is. by default? -and wo
stand substantially convicted of anything and every
thing that any aiid every kiud of blackguard can
make up a lie about. And now 1 hear that the chargos I
uie not to bo pushed; two of the officers want to
come back to us us friends. They are to be virtually
abandoned alter doing us all the harm they can.
What Mr. Webster thinks, we care little; what is
the opinion of most members of Congress, you can
hardly believe, in your part of the world, how very
little; but public opinion, that power we respect as
well as recognise; and, therefore. 1 am now deter
mined, on my own responsibility, to write myself,
aud blurt out all the truth I can. 1 may not be dis
creet, but 1 will bo honest.
1 have written, to begin with, an examination
into the causes that induced the three officers to
leave Utah, but find it grown on my hands too long .
for publication. As I must confine myself, there
fore. to plaiu and unargued narrative, 1 will best
begin with the original and beginning of our
troubles, found, to my mind, in the notion that, un
like other populous communities, wo ure not fit, or
have not the right, to furnish our own rulers. I
doubt if the contrary even once occurred to Mr. r ill
more, who, 1 am persuaded, had quite a wish to
deal justly with us. What was the consequence .
At the very outset of our national career, we had to
have atrangers sent to govern us. V ho ot worth
and standing at home would venture out to our ins
tant and undescribed country ? Accordingly the
offices went begging among all the small fry poli
ticians who could be suspected of being tit to till
them. And (as I lieve heard, after sundry nomina
tions were refused) the following were picked up:
No. 1 ? A Mr. Brandebury, who brought his re
commendation, saying he had studied law in the
office of a Pennsylvania county court lawyer, re
nowned for successful high and lofty tumbling in
the -'Upport of the United State Bank, through a
bloodless, cruel war, but who, in every other re
spect, exaggerated the recoinmendat ion of a 1 resi
dential candidate, of being perfectly and entirely
unknown. ? . ,
Ko 2 ? Zerubbabcl Snow, ol Ohio, a lawyer prac
ticing in the interior of t lmt State? qualifications
rather ahead of the others? willing to come out.

" Kiy '?tones with butter, ' -ays the proverb,
"the broth will be good." I don't know what man
ner of appearance these men present, now that they
have taken their titles nt our expanse, and drawn
some of Uncle Sam's money for it ; but. as they
came among us, the bevy was just such as you will
find keeping tavern together at i> railway water
station. /.crub the active partner-Lemuel,
rather slow; but his uncle, superintendent of the ,
road to secure the trains always stopping there
breakfast and dinner times; with Harris ihc bar
kccpcr to fly round spry, and I>ay to_ black boots,

were rot kept in their proper spheres. _
The first we knew of our becoming a territory
the account of the pa - age. September, lM.jt) ot the
law organizing I tali, which reached us before tnc
vear wa out. Nothing could exceed the clamorous
joy of our citizens at learning thai, they were thus
invited into the family party by their brethern ol
the Union. Our national flags went up, hailejt i>y
huzzas all over the .-ct t lenient, and when we hoisted
our large one on the liberty pole at I en. pie Block,
iivdreat Salt Lake city, the artillery .?'?luted it with
one hundred rounds, rammed home.
Tin- hist actual assurance among us by person ?
repreM-ntative, of the government majesty ot iijc
I 'nil i d States, wa- the arrival ot No. I. a a?'?v ,
which came much as half ? year after, (the
of June. I think ) with a limited amount of personal
luggage, anil nut up at a boarding house ?"> '
out -knts of the town, rt sorted to by trad; r- and car
riers i a.?.-ing through tin elth im nt. W e welcome
this from our hearts. We did not fire the can
non at it, having paved this hi>nor for oui country
standard, or it4 enemies. Nor did we attend to ap
pearances as well as the French, who made icatl.v '"?
their king by putting white kid gloves on the g'u'ie
posts' finger's, and a clean cambric ruffled shirt aim
silk Stockings on the body of a criminal hanging m
irons. Our means, after all. Were limited ; but we
cordially did our ln.lt. As it ?k.- tho Chief Justice,
numbers of us |?id bim our re*peets ; and, though ,
o"r calls were not turned .v.-ccedcd to

About two and a half miles from the site of our
future temple, out of the base of what we eali En
sign Mountain, a big too of the Wahsatch range,
gush up n number of hot spring*, various in quality
aud temperature, of which one, in particular, has a
constant head strong enough to work a fulling mill.
1 his wc have conducted in pino logs to a large house
in the city suburbs, and providod there the tubs and
other requirements for the most luxurious artificial
bathing. Though at the charge of $1 a month por
fuiuily , it has become a place of frequent resort for
our whole population ; and na, with Mormons, sooio
ty and fcBtivity go hand in hand, this concourse has
led to the erection oi additional buildings, including,
besides a ballroom, two parlor* for olub and party
suppers, &c., and a famous big double kitchoo to
cook up the good things in.
1 o this Bath House we invited Judge Brandebury.
Our hours being cnrly at Salt Lake, we sent the Go
vernor <? carriage for him at threo in the afternoon ?
but dressiug or something else detained him till iiro,
shortly after which he arrived. Tho guests were
then sometime assembled. Tickets had only been
issued to our nicest people, and I will say it, aprottier
company no honest man, not a fop, would have asked
to meet. After an orchestral symphony, Brothor
Spencer, by his office, President of the Stake,
oponed with an appropriate prayer, and quadrilles
commenced. Judge Brandcbnry took tho corner
at first ; but some of our ladies, making true wo
man's account of tho Miss Kaneyisin or a drawed
up old bachelor, that showed he had sat a good
deal in the shade, took pains with him, and, though
a littlo piquod at first, we soon got him up, and
made him excited. He danced with Mrs. and
Mrs. , again with Mrs. and Mrs. , and
finally left thorn all, real old bachelor fashion, to
jiuy his exclusive attentions to " that sweet young
lady with tho wreath of roses round her head" ? thus
describing little Miss Hurah Badlam, aged, porhaps,
thirteen, bo tho samo inoro or less. (Supper was an
nounced at seven. The ladies and gentlemen sat
down togother ? Oovornor Youiir at the head of one
of the tables, with Judge Brandobury opposite him.
tlur leadWg confectionary consisted ot roast beef,
roast mutton, (Aij-.jtens, roast and boiled, veal, roast
jug, wild fowl, beni meat, and gnmo pie, helped
through with garden ttnek and sauce, pies, pud
dings, preserves, pumpkin butter, and other home
dainties, not so well known in tlnw parts, and oysters
and satdinos in cans, from the East. For drink wo had
our own brew of porter and ale? which 1 on'uld not
recommend, as it tn.Mos like one part of tho lager
article to three of waler? and for Brandobury'u spe
cial use, Champagne wine from tho grocery. From
supper wo went into the dancing again and kept it
up with spirit until near two o'clock in the morning,
the handing round, at twelve, of refreshments, (con
sisting of ice creams, cake, pie, nuts, and beverages,)
being the only interruption till tho benediction and
final dismi&sal to home.
A similar reception waj given to Judgo Snow and
his lady (No. 2,) and Mr. and Mrs. Harris (No. 1 )
who arrived out. together, I think, tho l?th of Julv,
and they were equally pleased with our bath house
balls. Mrs. Harris, who danced with the Uovermir
once, 1 recollect, and with a will too, always being
anxious to be heard saying, " Strange, people East
know so little of the Mormons." "To think of
being so rclined. and so peaoeful, and enjoying
themselves so well, ' &e. " Fair and softly goes far
ma day." Perhaps, though, if called upon after
this, we might have said that we had not unmixed
cause to be pleased with our new officials. Their
speech and conduct, somehow, from the first, cre
ated and spread the impression that they wanted to
get extra advantage out of us. They coiuplnined,
not without reason, of the lowness of their salaries,
and it was intimated to some that a vote, by our
selves, of a certain increase would be agrooublo.
They would not organize court, or go to work, but?
an ill example to our youth? lived indolent together
in their boarding houses, dav after day? the only
utterly idle persons in iu whole community. Vet,
at the same time, tli a umod airs and graces,'

mistake. mi error, t he prevalent opinion that
we nil clem ic nasal orifice with tho big too,
and mak< tci uh holy vv..tor. Wc have among us
women who ] y on the piano and mix French with
their talk, and men who like tight boots, and who
think more of the grammar than the meaning of
what they are saying, and who would ask nothing
better than to be ted by othor people for $quiirinj?
circles and writing dead languages all their lives?
albiet we would not givo one good gunsmith's ap
prentice lbr the whole of them. And, thoifgh we
arc all out-and-out democrats, in spirit and in sub
stnncc, we have plenty of the hard-to-comb curly
pates of people, oi whom the saying is true, that
we have seen better days ; so that it there is any
thing we can do. it in to take the measure of sham
luilt-eut picteusions, and write down their true
flguics. 1'hcre wus one personal informity of Judge

with ii v it could be anywhere? even the bouidni"

A flirt in tliin*.-. about thee cleanliness.

with our (ore of spring streams rushing through

ot w.i hing: ond soap is not very dear with us either.
And we read the scriptures, including Xochnriuh iii.,
S and 1. where we are taught that the angel would
not sjieak with Joshua before lie changed uis linen.
And, whit- tie ! that shirt the Judge had on at our
2-lth of Jit'y celebration, where we did our best to
make a dignity figure of him, was the greatest. It
came about us near to being the great unwashed
considering there were ladies present. It wa?,
on the whole, I may say, the most disrespectful
shirt ever was seen at a celebration. The Jud"c
never stirred out without his big umbrella, not so
much to keep the sun off. but to hide out people, on
account of his being shy ; but, after this, whenever
he was seen dragging about under it, it mod to be
tho joke that he was afraid of rain water getling in
on to that shirt. But, of course, no notice wastuken
of such trifles; and everything went on smooth and
glassy as the jkioI of indolence itself, till after the
17th day of August. This day arrived out from the 1
Stufcs, Mr. P. E. Brocchus, and in one short six j
weeks after this man came among u?. he was the i
means of Stirling up all the evil reiiort that we have
had to encounter.
Brocchus, as far as I have been able to find any
thing about him, I make out to be one of those cha
racters that it would be difficult to examine and edu
cate anywhere out of the District of Columbia.
J heir description is that of the Washington maid of

bv their chance of "boncing" the mutton joint,
which they devotu in the l'ucc of tho poor from whom
they have it.
Of '.such came out to u? from Alabama, via
Washington, nearly one year after we were made
a territory by lnw\ our second Associate Judge.
10 oui people at Kanesville, where he stopped for
purj o.-es (.J outfitting, he proclaimed his intention ?>f
running as delegate to Congress. He provided in
toxieating liquors gratuitously to those in his com
pany who would listen to his di-course on this sub
ject. He suid it was his only purpose in going out
to Luih; and that, his election secured, lie should
return at once. IK* alluded darkly to dangers im
pending over us at Washington tfiat only ho could
inert, and declared that he had come out to enable
him to be our savour. Thus lie spoke and elec
tioneered with the people of the train till lie met a
return train, which conveyed intelligence to the
?St ate of the election of Dr. John M. Bernbisel. His
tone then changed. As soon as he arrived, he an
nounced his intention of rcturningtothe States. He
-aid he was sick, and supported tlic character in the
eves of his fellow lodgers by eating enormous! r,

44 1 was respectfully ana honorably introduaed,"
says the published statement of Judge Brooch ux.
This individual, I take it, ia one of those who, by
reason of a certain fluency and custom of easy
rambling from subject to subject, spreading them
selves out over all they have ever bad a thought
upon, are able to acquit themselves quite creditably
iu a conversation or brief friendly letter ; while thoy
break down miserably if called ou fur a speech or
essay upon a continuous subject, which exposes in
them the defects of tbeir early education, their ha
bitually loose texture of thought, and their tywt of
connected views and consistent principles of any
kind. .Such crcutures frequently pass through the
world without being voted ignoramuses or lack-wits,
and so with some inay this unsteady creature
Brocchus pass.
1 muko i hi.-! remark because I am certain no ono
of bis acquaintance at Halt Lake city, was prepared
for such a speech as he made ou this occasion. In
its way it beat Brandebury's shirt. I would givo a
hundred dollars for the sake of our cause, to havo
had a phonograpber to tako down the stupendous
effort. 1 can only now profess to remember a tow
joints of it, recalled to my memory by the use that
has been made of them since, lie began by stating
that he had road our history with deep interest, par
ticularly that part relating to our suflerings in win
ter quarters, on tho Missouri Itiver, during tho se
vere winter of '47. I intended to have visited winter
quarters, ho said, but, alas, was not able. A friond
of mine brought me these flowers; horo they are; it is
all I can present you of that sainted plaoc ! At
this sympathetic display bo forced a toar, And tho
careless observer would havo said, wiped it from his
cheek, but Dosoret eves saw the handkerohiof pass
to the right and the left, while the toar remained on
the cheek by an overcast of the head. His re
ception was next referred to. " 1 was a stranger,
and you took me in; sick, and you visited me," & c.
Evon a kind lady brushed the flies from my foro
licud; her kindness 1 can never forgot. Another
trar wits forthcoming, and wiped as betbro. Twenty
minutes of this sort of thing quite naturally in
troduced the consideration of his personal merits.
In the course of an able and fluttering uutobiogrn
i pliy, he displayed all his advantages of oxporienoo
and i<\;biic .service in important imaginary capaci
ties. His appointment by his'Ejftellenoy the 1 resi
dent of the liiiitcd States, was enough to show what
kind of a man ho was. The President being a vir
tuous man, could appoint none but a virtuous man
like himself; he (Brocehus) being virtuous, there
fore, like the President, received bis appointment.
l?y this itigumi nt ho refuted any vilo calumnies from
I tho States that he said might havo purauod his pri
vate character. After this, iu a style half school
book, Hull 4th of July, came un Anthony (!) Put
utiin, the Revolutionary War, and (leu. Washington,
who was declarou a greater man than Napoleon and
, i ll his generals, and only to bo compared to Prcsi
l dent Taylor. Putnam ho got at Hunker Hill, but
Washington at Burgovne s, probably Braddock's,
defeat. Behold him ! lie cried, on his while horso
at the battle of Yorktown, proudly careering on his ]
white charger over tho prostrate bodies of his coun
ry\s enemies. This sort of tiling tookupan hour more, i
I by which the patience of the company was pretty J
j nearly worn out, though they remained quiet, i
' "For more than two hours," he writes, " I was fa
vored with tho unwavering attontion of my audi
ence. " But a changed tone then came on him, with
a change of subject. lie bogau a studied assault
' ujKm his introdueer. Governor Young, und an argu
ment to the people against allowing this man so
! much influence us lie possessed, the sum of it boing
i that bo long us this continuod wo could have no
1 party divisions, and without party divisions we
could not bo a worthy object of the notice or favor
| ot politicians. Soon, however, he found he could do
? nothing on this head. "Oh ladies, sweet ladios,"
ho cried, "why do you 'go in' for such a man? Your
smiles should be turned ou the contemplation of
1 men who can handle tho sword ? George Washing
ton, und Zachary Tuylor, the seoond Washington.
: Oh, Governor Voung can't handle the sword!"
Even such soft appeals as this wero thrown away.
! h'roni had to worse, disapprobation roso, till tuo
| orator was groaned. Ho tried a few insinuations
; more, and was groaned again, groaned with a will.
At this, instead of taking his seat, he changed his
ground, and mude a direct aud undisguised attack
! upon the audience ^*elf ? men and women ? without
distinction, accu.MiTf them of want of patriotism and
, attachment to the laws, and reproaching and insult
I ing them to their face. General 1). H. \Volls, of II
: Tmois, and impulsive and hot spoken man, hut I am
I bound to ."ay one of our most liberal and public
spirited citizens, had delivered an oration on the
24th of July, severely condemning the course of the
federal government towards us. Producing au im
Iicrfect report of this speech and commenting on it,
irocchus proceeded to attribute its sentiments to
the people, aud make them answerable for it, there
upon threatening them with destruction by tho
whole army and navy of the United States. In the
same way he brought up remarks of Governor
Young upon Genera! Tuylor, threatening tho pooplo
with destruction for them also, and declaring that
his (Brocclras's) influence should break him from
office the instant he arrived in Washington. Finally,
the women hissing him here, he mentioned Wash
ington, for the first time, in connection with the
monument, and as if merely incidentally. "It re
j minds uic, by the way," lie r?aid, "that I have a
I commission from the Washington Monument Asso
ciation, to a -k of you (the ladies) a block of marble,
as a test of your citizenship aud loyalty to the go
vernment of the United Mutes, lint in order for you i
to do it accept ably, you must become virtuous, j
and teach your daughters to become virtuous, or j
your offering had better renin iu in the bosom of your i
I native mountains."
At this climax of instill, the meeting ro=e as one
nmn, aiul their cries uml uproar compelled the
speaker to take his seat. The hubbub continuing, j
wo looked to the other officirs of the United Slates
who had been invited to the stand to reply; but as
they failed to do so, the Governor being loudly
called tor, rose and ejwke in substance (for I can- !
not imitate or remember successfully his peculiar
style) as follows: ? "But for this man's ]>cr-ionoli- i
ties, I would be ashamed not to leave him to be
Answered by some of our small spouters ? sticks of
his own timber. Such an orator, 1 should suppose,
might be made by down east patent, with Comstock's
phonetics and elocution primers; but, 1 ask you all,
have we ever before listened to such trash and non
sense from this stand? Arc you a Judge, (he said,
turning to him,) and can't even talk like a lawyer;
or a politician, and hav'nt read an American school
history! Be ashamed, you illiterate ranter, (said
he,) not to know your Washington better than to
praise him for being a mere brutal warrior.
George Washington was called first iu war; but ho
was lirst in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen, lie had a big head and a great heart.
Of course, he could fight. But, lord! what, man
can'tl What mau here will dare to say, with wo
men standing by. that he is a bit more a coward
than Washington was! Handle the sword! i can
handle a sword as well as George Washington. I'd :
be ashamed to say 1 couldn't. But you. standing
there, white and shaking now, at the homets'-nost
you have stirred up yourself? you are a coward;
and that is why you have cause to praise men
that are not; and why you praiso Zaohurv Taylor.
President Taylor you can't praise ? you find nothing 1
in him. Oid General Taylor! what was he!? a
mere soldier, with regular army buttons on ; no bet- j
ter to go at the head of brave troops than a dozen
1 could pick lip between l.eavenworth and Laramie.
And. for one. I'll not have Washington insulted
by having him compared to Taylor, tor a
single breath of speech. No, nor what is
more, President and General Andrew .Jackson I
crowed down and forgotten, while I am with this i
people ? even if I did not know that one is in one
place (of punishment), and the other in another (of
reward). Iliighitm Young spoke this out ol hi
knowledgo hy ihe priesthood.
" What's the meaning," continued the Governor,
but more at huge than I can give it here, "what's ,
the meaning <>l this insult upon our patriotism 1 Is i
