THE MORMONS. Progress and Policy of the Latter Day Saints. Lwtan by Elder Onon Hyde, Tabemaclr, " * a, I8M,? D * [From 'tbDwRt Xewt'oct. 10 aad 30.} Beloved friend* aad breth rem, it iiiwui to havefaUeu to mj lot to be your ipeaker at this time, and to call ?otur attention to a subject that was propaod In the lamer part of tlie day. Ai the ?"? I (ST* out the appointment for this even Ih'i merit inj my eye m fixed anon another person to deliver the lecture. I shall try to do the subject m good jastice m my abilities, aided by the faith of the ealnti aad the Spirit of God, may enable me to do. I deelre ?otonly your candid aad undivided attention, but I tract I (hall also hare your prayeri, that the Lord may Inspire m with th?ea argument* and reatona that are well pleasing In hi* eight, that I may aoquit my*?lf bo foto him, if it may not be my good fortune to acquit uty oelf ?o amply before yon aa my heart would doaire. I have heard it remarked, sometime*, by inlivldual* who weie not identified or connected with our church, that if they could only be court noed that polygamy we* trae, they would become Mormon* at once. Do you believe the Bible '/ " Certainly I do," lay* the 9ulrer. Did father Abraham aad the ancient p?tri h* live la thie relation, and praetiee this do a trine ? Yon eay they did. Then, if what they practlaed is tr Up JM are bo aad to become a Mormon upon your ora ?ithiit* aad reason*. But, gentlemen, if I hy,* *h*t that wa* the all-oonvincing argument, and If thkt ... the principal doctrine that alone influenced yc_ ?eat Mormon*, I ahould at once eay, let v.* r.?,_ k * ?a* such a person; let me never be the .uwnt tTbHn, auph a person iato the church and Unj r'ao^fo?a i Sod dosplae* every character vrh 0 woum Btlt8P ohurch for no other jrarpoee than "t0 criminally induce Ua natural prop^rfUo. J^e^ ?^ntl?m?a, do not in ohurch for no other j hia natural propensities. iuj?, '?niia*n, oo not in dulge the expectation, if von ahtr tu<i be convinced by the argument* 1 may adduce In fav*,r of the doctrine of poly gamy, aa it ia called, that tlr*t will prove a au&cient groundwork for your faith. But where ia the ground opon which to baae your faith 1 Where shall yau go to tad out MormouUm from the fouadation to the top atone from the reot to the uttermoit 'j ranch' in the tree? Begin at the beginning, 'if men with to acconpliih any vrork, they mutt begin at the beginning of that wora, not H* the middle ol' 11 or at the ettd. I know that thia doctrine ia made the Tubject o( a graft t dead of ridlcnte. I know that the world at large, who profess to to xious, or, II -aot pious, morally up right, look upon it aa a daaaelng Bin, aa a stain upon the bright eeeutetoon of their country; tore in the Terr heart of the United States territory, surrounded by tall mountain*, they consider it a dark spot ta the country's history. Many ?f the grasjt 'politicians ?f the day view it ia Utia poia* of light. Kaligioni.-ite are still more scrupulous; ttoy legaid it -as a heinous, a damning ain. I always consider it aay-duty, under proper olrcum stances, to gire a-reaaon Of the hope that ia in mo, with useekcess and fear: and if I have last i bed a principle, and am unable to defend it upon the principles of truth, juatlce, equity and true philosophy, I should consider I was walking in the dark. Well now, frienda anC brethren, -vill you liaten to aae for a short time, and let me coneact you, as far aa 1 shall to able this evening, through the volume of iatpl ratten that is universally acknowledged by all Chri'-teo 4an to be the word of God, the treth of heaven t Will von liaten to some of the sayings contained ia that took t And then say whether ue possess the same spirit now that Inspired the breasts of the ancients, whose history is penned upon these pages. Judge for yourselves whether it be so or not. Ia the first place, then, we wifi look unto Abrahaet, ?ur father, and to Sarah who bore us. for if we are Christ's, then we are Abraham's eeed and heirs accord ing to the promise. Let any story be told of my father, whereby dishonor is laid to his charge, or let any re proach be caat upon my mother, and if the feeling* of the leyalty of a aoo towards his parents dwells in thie toeom, 1 will retiataU such reproach. Mo matter ho* sinful they might have been, their sis a must be por trayed before me. I look, thin, unto Abraham as my father, and unto Bacah as my mother who bore me. How was it then with Abraham ? lie ia said to have been f\e father of the faithful uil the great head of the church ia the days of the Patnarcha, and the head of tho?e who have been adopted into the covenant of Jehovah through the blood of his only begotten: fer if we are Christ'*, tton we are Abraham's seed anu heir ? according to the promise. If by the virtue of the Saviour'* blood our sLns are washed away, n-e are the children cf Abraham; we hail him aa our father, and Sarah as out mother; he is the father of the faithful; he ia the father of raan.v nations. How was it with Abraham ? DM Ike please Go J, wnU before h m uprightly, and obtain this testimony that to pleated God, and obtain promises that no otb"r tnin has obtained fince the (lays of Abraham, the Son of God exocpted? Jehovah promised that in h'm an<l in hia teed all the nationa of the earth should be bleated. as a patt'-ra of piety, and ai the great bead of the church, because of his faith fulnrpp in keeping the commandments of Jeluvah on earth, he drew from on high this great promiso. Who haa lived sic ce 'hat time who lias been thus blessed? I will venture to tay not one, Tnen, if we are his children, will we not do the worl a of faithful Abraham' So said the Saviour who evir spoke the truth; who ever declared the mind and will of his Fathar in heaven. Are we Abra ham's seed, or are we bastards and not sons? That is the queation. Let us sea what Abrabsm'a works were. Abraham ob tained promises. What promise have you obtiinel? What promise has the Christian world obtaiueJ? "Why," aays one, " the Bible is all full of promises made to the people of God along go." But what have the promises to ue people of God long ago to do with us? Have we obtained promise* to ourselves? Then1 la the point. If our fathers obtained promises that they should be fed, aad were fed, their eating snd drinking doea not satisfy ?7 arpetite. It aatkfled them, but that haa noth.og to do with me ? I want the same kind o * aubstantial Too i my aelf. if Abraham obtained promises, I want to obtain promises alao. "Whit! A man that has more than ?ne wife obtain promises from God?" I tell you there were but few in olden times who ever did obtain promises from God. that had not more than one wife, if the Bible to true. There was David and there was Solomon; there were the whole line of tbe kinga of Israel. Says one, that old Bible was for tbe Jewa, and lias nothing to <10 with us; that ia the Old Teatamcnt, and having more wives was according to thtlr law and accor ling to their custom, but It does not appU to ua; the Saviour of the world ia oar great pattern ; he ia our great lawgiver. And bow is it with him ? Let us inquire. D.d the Saviour of the world consider it to be his duty to fulttl all rlghteouineae t You answer, yea. Even the simple crdiaanee ot baptism he wo jld not pass by, for the Lord commanded it, aad thirefore it waa righteousness to etoy what the Lord had commanded, and he would fulfil All rlfhtWUBtM, I'pon thia hypothesis I will go back il the beginning, anu rntiee tilt o^man.lment?^tliat anre given to our first parents (u the gar !, a ftr I? Lor<l '?'d.J'nU? them, "multiply and replenish th i ??**"? I Wdl digress here for a moment from the thread of th# subject, tod bring an idea thit uiay pjr * !Uar ing nprn it. The earth, you remember, waa void ana *mpty until our first parents began at the garden of Men. What doaa the term replenish mean? Thia word la derived from the Latin; "re" and "plenua;" "re" denotes repe tition. Iteration; and "plenua" algniflea full, complete; then the meaning of the word replenish la to refill, re ooBnlete. If I were to go Into a merchant's store and find ne had got a nw stock of good*, I should say you have repleniabed your stock; that la, filled up your ea tebllahment, for It looks as it did before- Now go forth, aays the Lord, and replenish the earth; for it w.ia cover ed with gloomy clouds of darkness, excluded fiom the * t of heaven, and lartneaa brooded upon th* faoe of deep. The world waa peopled befcre the days of m a* much ao aa It waa before the day* of Noah It wae aald that Noah became the father or a new world, tot It waa tbe same old world still, and will continue to to, though it may paas through many cna?g~. When God aaid. go forth and replenish the the Mr'.h, it was to repleBifJi th* inbaVtoOts of the human species ?hd aaake * -u yt vu Our fir at parents, then, were commanded to multiply and replenish tbe earth; Q, if the Saviour fcund It hia duty to to baptised to A1 all rigbteouaneaf, a command or far less Imp ^rtanse than tbat of multiplying hia raee, (if indee 1 there ia any dtflerence in the commandment* of Jehovah, f?r they are all Important and all euential,) would he not fiod it his duty to join In with tbe rest of the faithful ones In replenishing tbe earth ? " Mr. Hyde, do you really wUh to imply that the im naculate Saviour begat children ? It la a blasphemous assertion agalrst the purity of tbe Saviour's life, to say the least of It The holy aspira tions that ever ascended from him to his Father would sever allowed him to hav? any inch fleshly and rarntl connections, never, no never. ' This ia the general Idea; but the Savtonr never thought It beneath him to ob y the mandate of hia Fstber , he never tho-uht this stoop ing beneath his ilgnlty ; he never dsspNed what God na I made; for they are tore of his bone, an1 fle<h of bis m ? v, kindred spirits, that once basked In rays of im kilty and eternal life. When he found thetn clothed light < tie dl ayes and and surrounded with tbe weaknesses of m lrUl ?ash, wouM he deepise tlirm? No. It la true I bare aeen mewwho became poor and miserable all at ous*. aad tton those who were their friends In the day* of their prosperity turn from them and scarcely deigo to baaliw them a look, it being too humiliating to associate with them ia their poverty. But it was not s? w.th the fiiaviour; to associated with them in other sphere*. and when ttoy came tore, descending below aU things, he did ?at despise to associate with these same kin lred spirits. *' Then you really mesn to hold to tbe doctrine tUat tbe Saviour of tbe world was married; do yon ra?tn to be understood ?*, aad ir ea, do you meaa to be understoo 1 that he bad more than one wife ?" The Christian world by their prejudices have driven us away from tbe old Bible, so we must now appeal to the New Testament, for that seems to suit the prejudice of the paoaie, though te me it ia all atoe, both the Old and New Testaments: for the scribe tbat Is well Instructed bringa out of hia treasury things both new and old. Ihie la my treaaury; or rather, It is one of my traaiuriei, sad what I cannot find there, I trust will oome down irons on high and lodge ia my heart. Tbe gift of God la aba my treasury, even tbe Holy Spirit. Now suppose I should set out myself, and travel through the cities of the nation ae a celebrated reformer, pnraa r blag reveiatlona and sentiment* as lofty as th? skies, aad rolling out ideas strange and new, to whieh th* mul titude were entirely unacoustomed, and wherever! went, snppoee I had with me three or four women: osm combing say head, another washing my feet, and another shedding ?ears upon them and wiping them with the hair of her head, luaaoae I should lean upon them and they upon mm, would It not appear monstrous in the eyes of the wartdf Would ttoy ride me into .lernaalem upon an ase'a aalt, aad caat branches of the palm tree beneath my Heat, shouting "Hosaanab! blessed Is he that cometh ia the nass* of the Lord, hoeannah In the highest:" I piss they would give me a coat of tor and feathers, and *Me me oa a rail; aad It la mv opinion they would aerve the Saviowr the tame, did he go about new aa he did [fctsea hundred yean ago. (hero la aa aid prophecy or Isaiah, which I cannot ? to imt, but you Will i! ad It In the fifth-third chap ref hi* prop toe tee; read the whole of the chapter ? tutor prophecy ?peak* of Cbnat all the way ft I* there *aM, "Wtoa thou ?haM make bla tmmum ?Sflag for ato. to aball see bis seed " What ^eawWutee the soul ?

By and by the p-ephet goee on to say, "And who declare his generation, for his life 1* taken f* - ^ earth. " If he had no generation who co> ldde- .?n ? told yon there waa an agent who would bri subject in bold relief, which to the H ?earcheth all thln?, erw the deep thl untO that eeleetiJ agent ahaU Are ao htf|U to declare his generation, It could f . d known. ,?^o,b'?h^bt?i ? cut off from the earth.

He was taken from priaon and from judgment) and who shall de dare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land ?T the liring: "for the traMgreasion of my people wa? he stricken. ' ' Now, if ooe portion of this prophecy has been fulfilled, the other portfon has. or will be. How was it with Mary and Martha, and other women who folio >vetl him! In old tinee? and it to common In this day ? the women, even as Sarah, called their hue bauds lord ; the word lord to tantamount to husband; in seme languages master, lord, husband, are about synoni mous. In England we frequently hear the wife say. "Where ia my master?" She did not mean a tyrant, but as Sarah called her husband lord, she designs ted hers by the word master. When Mary of old came to the sepul chre -on the first day of the week, but Instead of finding Jeans she eaw two ang?ls in white: And they said unto her, "Woman why wcepe;- t thonf" She said unto item, "Because the; have taken away my lord, or husband. and I knew not -where they have laiil him.'' When she had thus said, she turned herself bask, aad saw Jesus landing, and knew not that It was Jews. Jesos faith onto her, "W*nan why weepett thou? Whom seek est thou!" She.iupposlng him to be the gardener, saith on to hlir, "Sir, ir tbou have borne him hence, tell 1110 where thoutiast laid him. and 1 will take him away." J onus said unto her. "Mary, she turned herself and saith unto him. "RafaJbini;" whien is to say, master. In there not here manifested the affections of a wife? Tbeie words speak the kindred ties and sympathies that are common to that relation of hushimd and wife. Where will jou find a family so nearly allied by the ties of common religion? "Well," you ssy, "that appears ratlier plausible, but I want a little more evidence. I want you to find where It says the Jsavieur was actually married." Have you ever read your Bible? I must confess I hive not read it for some time, but looked more to Him who rules on high, and to those who hold the word of life in the inspiration of the Holy Ghost; I look to them more frequently than to it. I nave onee memorized the Bible, ami when any one quoted one verse I could quote the next, I have memorized it ia English, German and He brew, still 1 do not profess to be very familiar with It now, yet the sentiments and spirit of It are in my heart, and will be as long as I live, and still remain when I am gone to another sphere. Where does it say the Saviour was married ? 1 believe I will read it for your accom modation, or you might not believe my words were I to say that there is indsed mch a scripture. We will turn over to the account of the marriage in Car a of Galilee, and the mother of Jeans was there. Yes. and somebody else, too. You will find it in the second chapter of John's Gospel: remember it and read it when you go home: ? And the third day there was a mnrriuge in Cana of Gall Ice, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus was called and his disciples to the mtirria;e. And when thc> wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith uuto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not jet come. His mother saith nuto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto yon, do it. And there were set there six watcr-pota of stone, arter tho manner of the purifying of the Jews, controlling two or three tirkins apiece. Jeans saith unto thorn, All tlio water note with water. And they tilled tfcero up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Drawont now, ant tear uuto the gover nor of tho feait: and they bars it. When tho ruler of the fecst had tasted the water that was made wine, and know not wherecit wss, (but the servants ahirh drew tho water ?Anew,) the governor of the feast oalled tlio bridegroom, and eaith nnto him? that Is, tho ruler of the feait faith unto the britlegroom? every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men havo well drnnk, thon that which Is worse, hut thou hunt kept the good wino until now. ?Gentlemen, that lass plain as tho translators, or dif ferent councils over this scripture dare allow it to go to the world; but the thin# is there; It la told; Jesus wss the bridegroom at the marriage of Cant of Galilee, and he told them what to do. I Now 1 here in actually a manage; and if .Tesui was I not tbe bridegroom on that occasion, please tell who wan. Jf an; man can show this, and prove that it was not tie Saviour 01 the world, then I will acknowledge that 1 am tn error. We stiy it waa Jeius Christ who waa mar ried, to be hronghtinto the relation whereby he could see his stfd before ne waa crucilied. Has he, indted, passed by the nature of angels, anl taken upon himelf tho seed of Abraham, to die with out leaving a Med, to hear his name on the earth 1 No. But when the secret ia fully out, tne need of the bleated shall be gathered in, in the last days; and he who has not the blood of Abraham (lowing in his veins; who has not one particle of the Saviour'a in him, I am afraid 1* a stereotyped Gentile, who will be left out, and net be gathered in" tlie last days; for I tell you it is the chosen of God, the seed of the bleiied, that shall be fathered. 'I do not despieo to be called a son of Abra ham, if be had a dorm wires; or to be called a brotber, a .-on, a child of the Javier, if he had Mary, and Martha and several others as wireu; and though he did cant seven devils out of one of them, it il all the same to roe. Well, then be shall see his met, and who shall declare hia generation, for he wai cut oil from the earth t I shall nay here, that before the Saviour died, he looked upon his own natural children as we look upon ouri; be saw lis seed, and irr.mediatrly afterwards he waa cut oil from the earth, but who shall declare bis generation? They had no father to bold them in honorable remem brance %1bey passed Into the (hades of obscurity, never to be exposed to mortal eve as the seed of the klessed one. lor, no donbt, had they been exposed to the eye of the world, those infanots might have ahared the dame lute aa the children in Jerusalem in the daya of Herod, when all the children were ordered to be alain tinder such an age, with the bopea of alaying the infant Sa vior. Thev might bare suffered by the hand of the ai sasNin, as the ions of many kings have done who were heirs apparent to the thrones of their fathers. History is replete with circumstances of neck-or nothing politicians dyeing their bands in the blood of those who ?t(od in thetr way to the throne or to power. Ihat fed has bad its influence upon the chosen of God in the last days. The same spirit inspires them that Inspired their Father, who bled and died upon the crAH* manner of the flesh. , "W.l^uT^s/yTo'ne.'fltW* 1*1 junction laid upon the Bishops in New Tests mt 5 times, that they rhould have but one wife." This ia brought op aa a great argument against the position the Latter Pay faints have taken. In olden tinua they might have Cm through the same circumstance!) as some of ibe ? tter Day ftsinta had to in Illinoia. What wonld it have ("one" for ua, it they had known that many of ua had more than one wife when wo lived In Illinoia? They I would have broken as up, doubtless, worse than they I did. They msy break us up, and rout ua up from one ] place to another, but by-and-bye we ahall come to a point where we aball have all the women, and they will have none. You may think I am joking about this, but 1 can bring yon Ibe truth if God to demonstrate it to you. I have not advanced anythihg 1 have not got an abundance of hacking for. Ihare is more truth than poetry in this, as sure aa you lire. The bishops intently, in their office and calling*, had a great deal to do with temporal matters? serving taoies, itt'Bding to the paor, &e. And Inasmuch as so much trust was tfpM?d in thtm of a temporal cbarafl ter, they w?re required to have a fair reputat.on, a^J most not stand In any relation tbatwV^W In tb? ieut prejudice their refutation ill world of mankinl. In cer'aia c unifies plurality of wives la legal. Chris tendom til ink tbey are about everybody, ana the '-rest 1 Jhanklnd" are lew atd far between. I have travellel | among nations and countries where this doctrine was tolerated by law, and I will venture to say If we were ! to take a walk through the world to night, and and out i those who are In favor or again*' this doelrine, the ma jority would be In ita favor. Could the whole world be 'assembled lure before me, and a vote be taken upon this subject, they would give us the right of conscience in this matter. Ilae not the Mahimmtdan a right to be In favor of It ? l id not God make him T And is not his rlgtit as d<*ar to him aa our* f Why shruld we set ourseires up as a lit tle family of rations in Christendom, and say to the res'. iof tbe great fannlvof the world: You shall nr.tdosoanl so, and yon ahall ao this, or that f Win should we be restricted n tbis master while the great majority of the world <e?tde in ita favor? Take this question tip npon poll lical principles, and ! whnt does the majority of the world say about ft' They establish our right Then take it a two Mi - principles of natural philosophy, anJ the truth of oir p<>? tion is nude it'll more apparent. FT a I I language to por'.ray to the mor-t delicate ears the pr nelples of our sullen ??. and the lam of eur nature, the moat stubborn sceptic would be obliged to jleld to the power of troth. I might take up the subject in this point of light, but I will for mer, I will spate yon. If 1 had a congregation ot men, I would not spare" them ore whit Ibe bUhrp is to be tbe husband of one wife. And aa forrldl*aul, everybody sajs h? lived and died a banbe lnr . bu* be said an things were lawful for him, and tnat , he bad power to lead about a sister, a wife, as wsUa* otVer a post lee, and as the kmthr?n of the Mr.l, and Cephas. Paul 1M not m*We known all things, for all things were not lawful to tell. He said himself, he knew a man that was canglit up t? the tb'rd hsaven* and heard things unlawful to utter. If he tM cot take a wife, and multply. and repletiiab the earth, he did not lalfll tbe Srst (rr?st fundamental law of natnre. There are msny living now who are bachelors. I do ?ot complain of tbe very old men, for they "annot help tbem??lvea at all times "but I am go'.ng to cnmpUIn of the old bach? lore; and t tell yeu whit It Is, if you do not (tep forward and marry, and trv to carry on the great work of Jthovah, It will he l?ft for a better man to da than yon. (Voice on tbe stand?' There Is bnt one old bachel-r in the Territory, and he has gone to the j States J 0! I beg your pardon. President Young says ( he does not 1 now of bnt one old bachelor tn all tne Ter ritory of 1'tah, sad he has gone to the <Hates, therefore I have nothing ww.re to ?*v on this particular point. Look abroad npon the work! at large, and how many are thai* who are too niggardly to take a wire, and support her and her offspring honorably , and rear up a family who win reflect honor upon them In their old age' So, they eaanot afford to do this; but they go where tbey een grati'y their fleehjr deetree, leaving the con sequences altogether with the eoafldlag females whom tbey dishonor, and who la that state despair of cm being rs I acta ted la society with a good character, give them ? elves to prostitution, aad In rot ten new go down to a premature grave, with tea thousand come on the heads ef their deceivers. Do yon eapaaae theee thlaga an gotag to escape the all eeeiagsye ef the Great Jehovah' And will be not it thn-fuilty sensualist with a will, -why not In honorable ?whig #? glorify Godr Why this ^ -n.uk the Lota Almighty M Anu nuuw w.. Brethren and sisters, it is for ai to have vna truth shining in oar ay**, afld honor that truth is all oar intercourse with on* another. The hiahop shall have hot on* wife. IT you ?m in a country whtre only one wife ia allowed by law. then yon -would be obliged only to have bit Me. What ahall I ?ay f A blahop in England, where he knew polygamy to be contrary to law, muat have but one wife; if yon want another, and the law will not allow it, you muat go where it la allowed by law. It waa the ease with toe bishops in olden tinea; we muat submit to the lawa ef aian until he ahall reign wboee right it la to reign. Thia la the chord that ahall rereJutleniM the whole world, and it will make the United States tremble from the very bend to the foot; it ia Ok* leaven hid in three measures of meal until the whale ia leavened. There 1< auch a t de of irresistible arguments, that, like the grand Mississippi, it bt w# 90 it* boid current every thing that dare* to oppoie Its course. 8aya one, '? Why ia It that men in your society may have more than one wife t What ia the polleyofltr' The men of God, who hold the priesthood of heaves and imbibe the light of the Holy Ghoit, have the privilege and the right. Now let me illustrate one thing, and let me brier it home te you. There may be aome under the aound or my voice that the ease will fit. Some man will, perhaps, marry a wife of hi* youtb. She dies ? he lovea her aa he lovea himself, and her memory ever lintr"W about hia heart. He marries another, and e?i? die*, and he loved her equally aa well. He marries a third, ax> \ ao on; and he loved thrm all. By and bye he dien ? j be diee with devoted affection and love to tb?ra fill Now, in tte resurrection, which of these wl? he claim.)1 There is no difference in his lov^ them, and they have all. perhaps, borne -j.1H * ' f' him. He loves the children of one mothr. ? .? the children of another. What say you*. nrh, h H V resurrection y^Why, him Uve the whole of them. To whom are they D'Jkr(r ?, lliere is a case opposite to this> where a woman mar ried a husband and he died, rnd so on, until she was married te seven husbands, and then she died. The Queatio* waa asked the Saviour, "Whose wife will she be In the resurrection ' for they all had her " The Sa * CU.^UI ?*"wer- Aja b* :-"ta the rectkm they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are as the angels of God." Now, tell me bow the angels are in heaven, and then we Bhall have the secret. It Is said:? In tho last days I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, tind v8ur sons and your daughters shall prophecy, a?d your voting wen shall seo visions, and your old men shall 'dream dreams. And on my servanta and on my handmaids 1 will poor out In those ouy? of my spirit, and they shall prophecy, You Are praying every day, ' thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth a* It u dona in heaven. " \ou never can know how it U done In heaven, unless jou can see it by vision, or the kingdom when it dies come, unless it is revealed to you by the ?pirit of pro phesy or in dreams and visions; thi n you know i'.. This la the benefit of dreams and visions, although this power is lightly ip?ken of and repudiated io the Christian world. The revelation of the Almighty from God to a man who holds the priesthood, anil is enlight ened by the Holy Ghost, whom God designs to make a ruler and a governor In his eternal kingdom, is that be may have many wives, that when hu goes yonder to another sphere, he may still ci ie to perpetuate his species, and of the Increase of Uin kingdom and govern ment there shall be no end, says Da.nel. How does the kingcom of God increase, but by the increase of his sub jects? Everything increases, everything multiplies. As Brother Benson said this morning, even the muschitoes of Nebraska incieaae and multiply. If they do. ;vby not high orders of the creation have a better right ? These muschitoes and insects are the result of a Fallen world, but by and-by there will be nothing to hurt or destroy in all God'* holy mountain. These men of God, who are married here by the autho rity of heaven, are iealed on earth and In heaven. The good old hook says, that which is iealed on earth is seal ed in heaven; and whoso soever sins ye remit on earth bhall be remitted in heaven, and whatsoever ye bind on earth shall be bound in beaveu. That priesthood that has not thii power is no better than a ropo of sand. The trne priesthood alone possesses it. The priesthood tbat has not this power is a mock priesthocd, and not the priesthood of the Almighty. Little did the world knov when they treated the Saviour as they did, that he held their destiny in his hands ; the world knew him not ; he came to his own ami they received him not: but the time will come thtt they will know hint, and the power of his priesthood. When tho servants of God and their wives go to hea ven, there is an eternal union, and they will mult ply and replenish the world to whicn they are going. It is not every man in the I'n'ted States that can be the Presi fent, or thit can be a Governor or a Judge, but all are within the jmle of the government of the united States, though thty do not all hear rule; many are call ed, and few are choen But in yonder worll those who bear the priestluod. and by tneir faith and o iedience obtsin the sanction of the Almighty, they are ie.il?d on earth and in heaven, md will be exalted to rule and gov ern forever; while those who would no: listen to the holy commandments, and ?lie 1 whhoct being seale.l to a wife, are angels; th?y are liwer spirits, and sorvauts to those that rule. Therefore, this family of old, which the Saviour spoke of, saying, "in the resumption they neither marry ncr are given in marriage," are not gods, but aiigrls, who neither ln.irry nor nr? given in mar riage; while the men thuf. magnify their callings are tliey that heat rule, and noli! dominion, and receive their crown, and are one with the Siviour, as he is one with the Father. Hence, he that Is faithful over a lew things shall be made ruler over many things. 1 bave a few words more to sa?, and a great deal more can be taid; for I liavo> only just nipped into the lubjeut a I -tie. I want to say a fetr things more, and perhaps tins is the most fitting occasion on which they could be said. You never see a Mormon man who bea-s the priesthood ? unlets it is somn characters who only Lear it in form? who are devoid of principl", who have transgreeaed, and have eKcapol being dealt with? I say, you never see a true-beartod Mormon man running after a lewd woman; but there are wimen among the Latter !>ay Saints wh > are loo.-e in their con* duct, notwithstanding that t':ey have embraced the gos pel. We only wish to apply this where it belongs ; do not any of you have your feelings hurt, for God knows I would hold the virtuaus and good as sacred as I would my own life. At the same time 1 am bound to speak io plaianeie, and I feel that the spirit is cn mo now, I am warmed with it, and it presses me to speak on this sub ject, and to speak it out. There are families in this town that bave bowed externally to the yoke of Christ, but they are as corrupt as hell, and I can point where they are, in what direc'ion they dwell. When I approach their habitations I feel that they are an abomination in my sight. *'llave you r ny tangible evidence of this P" Yes, I have, and mote ttan I went, which 1 shall keep to myself; but the day will come when it will all come out. Bo you see Mormon men running there t No. Wuerev er you find a house among the letter Bay Saints where no Mormon men |?, you ncay know that it is not all sound in Benmark. I will tell you whom you will see v?.?ii;ii auu aingoom oi t.ou, an J bring -'*-vnor upoti Ihemcc'iVt-a, and enceavor to bring it upon the whole church by cohabiting with those cursed scape gTacea who are passing through here to California, who make their btiast what tbey did in Great Salt Lake City ? 1 know their secret talk in their chambers. Tor the spirit of lied searcheth all thinis. It may not be witn me to the same extent all the time, hut sometimes ih? whole vision of my life is lit up, aud I see aud uniler<tand it all. I am gtlng to say something upon those who dishonor the church and kingdom cf God In this wav. I will tell you * hat shall happen to thoi>e men and women who cosmit lewdness, and go snd boast of it, and laugh in the face of heaven. The day shall come when their ilesh shall rot upon their bones, and e* they are walking it shall drop, and become a nauseous stink upon the h'gh vsy. Now go and boast that you c>n get all you want for adiest pattern or a yard of ribbon? go and boast of it, and the Lord Almighty shall curse yen all day lon?. <Voi<e in the stand ''^men.") And when you step, chUks of jTur flesVsball drop oil your benos, aud sUik enough to sicken a dog.

For ajch abominable practice to come in oar mi. 1st under the robes of sanctity, because they arelibo ral, holy, ai.1 righteous principles practised by tho sa nts, I aay cur te their habita'kons and their persons, and if this is your mind, let all Israel say arr.i u ?

[From the Philadelphia Ledger, Feb. 13.] l.ong before tlie time fixed for the trial of the ateam Era engine, yesterday afternoon, a crowd commence-) antombling on Dock street wharf, to witneu the expert - ment. The multitude soon swelled to thousanda, occu pying ??ry available spot In the street* adjacent, on the wharf, anl the windows, h?a* topi, wood pi let, and rven the rigging ol the ViMMli, were all filled with tpte WWi int Ifigint Was placed wlthtn the railing at the ena of the wharf, for the convenience of drawing the supply of water from the river. In a very ?hort time steam was raised, and the machine gave a specimen of its power. The volume of water thrown in a single stream was very large. The stream was forced through a noazle ot J).t inches, of a triangular ihipe, and from a position about the centre of the pavement on the wharf, a Pittance of perhaps 2f0 feet from the four story stores on tie north corner. The stream was played to a height of about twenty feet above the roof. The height of the t>ui)idljag*, we should judge, if about flftr feet. Two ?taptmt were alio played hy the great "skwirt." from Oct inch nozzles, giving an idea of tte vast volume of water that could be poured, under competent direction, sijion a fir*. The height, however, was lee* than before. Four streams were subsequently thrown from % inch noz zles, reaching to the roof of the itow Wort mentioned. The amount of water throws In the experiment yeeter dny was imrotnsc. The ?ti earns were continuous, never flagging In height nor diminishing in volume during tte wlole ;rrform?nce of the engine. The advantage it p'/ftesrea in this respect is very great, as there is no rbittment of the flooo which it may pour upon the fire. No stoppage to gat a fresh supply of water, no halting in the work from fatigue, hut one unceasing shower is poured out until the fire succumbs. What is claimod for the engine i?, that it will throw 1,800 to 2,000 bairels ol water through a noxd* 1 \ inches in ciameter, 240 feet horizontally, and from 130 to 140 feet perpendicularly. What we saw yesterday, with tte disadvantage the engine laborel under of hr viog to use half Its power to draw from the Delaware, tbe supply of water nedHed to pump upon the buiM'ng, satitlied ue that thia is no idle claim, and that tbe iteam fire tngite will be indeed a powerful and most effective addition to the Are apparatus of Philadelphia. In Cincinnati it has proved a very valuable auxiliary, and firemen of intellifrenee In Philadelphia are certainly as able to appreciate the merits of a mechanical Improve ment aa tho- e of Cincianittl. Opposition to improvement*, however valuable, ia always to be eipected from the prejutlced and unreflecting; but these constitute so small a portion of the real common sense discerning meat of tbe poblie that whatever I* really good in rao chai leal (.rinctple or action is sure to prevail over all opposition. Krery valuable improvement which hi* added to man'* resources and dim mshed the necessity for slavish labor, ha* m>-t with opposition and been re ceived with incredulity.

It ia settled, therefor*, that the announcement which we referred to waa merely of ' box office emanation, or original with some newspaper, and ir inadvertently we gave the public caase to believe that Mr. Hackett arew a twelve hundred dollar house at the Tremont theatre, and caused the same to he aiterwarda announoed m glowing capitals, thereby, as Mr. Hackett thinka, Im plying -'vain glory," we beg leave to retract, for Mr. Hackett's word ia sufficient proof to the contrary. [From the same paper.] END or THE OPERA SKA BON. fbid-ay? " norma" and last hct?s or ivo ia di lakxeb nooa. Extensive arrangements for excursion trains reach ing t ven to Worcester, the heart of Maasachusetta, with large delegations from the vicinity of Boston, gave a thooy audience for Grlsl and Mario's last night (n opera at tbe Boston Theatre. The ladies were vastly in the majority, and their brilliant array lighted u j ','oe audits rium In spite of hateful colored ^ 8D. thuslasm came from tbe ;a? f^alization ofLorini's sub stitution for ag Pollione, which feU upon subur ban vlbtcra like a bolt of ice. So long had Lorlni's SUM appeared to the bills and posters, without any sign or evidence of such a person in operatic perform ance, that hope told a flattering tale, which excited de lightful antisipatlons of Mario's sweet yet powerful and most expressive tenor as sure reward for great ex ertion to hear it. Dire was the disappointment to many when I.orini appeared with l'arozzi, and even his ad mirers felt a death to all their hopes in tbe cold inex pressive tones of hia veice, and that severe hoarseness which frequently almost destroyed all control of it. Many feared he would break down and therefore no dis sent or murmer of dissatisfaction followed the slashing cuts made upon Bellini'a music and Romanl's beautiful poetry. Adulgisa's solo and the interview with Pollione closing so admirably to "L'amor suo" died and mide no sign. Grist waa not to per.'ect command of her voice this evening. The effects of recent severe weather could be traced in sharp and thin upper notes; and hoarsene** in lier lowest toce*. Slie did, however, exert her utmost skill in vocalization, and the utmost of that physical energy a cold bad somewhat affected. In "Casta lhva" and the cabaletta, the duets with Adalgisa, the great trio, and throughout tke last scene, this earnest pur pose and careftil performance were so effective of good results, that all cltesrfullv accepted Grisi'a farewell to Noma here aa worthv of her great fame. An uusually large and v*ry beautiful display of flowers, both rich and rare, gay and fragrant, of every hue and In every form, awaited. Giulia Grisi when recalled at the clost of the opera. A superb basket of flowers came irom the Di rector's box, and Thomas Comer, En?j., again became a mei'ium to render floral tributes unto Grisi. He passed up from the orchestra a splendid bower of camelias and other good looking posies, which made Susiui forget he was sn Arch-Druid, aud Norma'* dark eyes flash with pleasurable excitement. After gathering op her spoils of victory. Grisi re-appeared, with hind on heart, to male as she crossed the stage profound and seemii^ly heartfelt acknowledgment for such flattering tokens of public satisfaction. I.orini recovered his voice In tbe second act to far as to make a passable show of the Roman Pro-Consul; hut the coo trait with Bettini or Malta forced itself upon all, and his marked deticleacy in force and warmth surprised not a few. Donovani gained upon the public ear by her part in the duets, snd dusini by unwonted exertions really sustained a good body of tone with regard to purity of mtenation, even to the close. lisrlo's appearance to snact the last scene of "Lucia di Lammermoor," gave signal for applause in reward for noble retrieval to the great scena anil song assigned El vino, of his fiasco asTdreno. The haze and slight veil apparent to Lla admirable, entrancing presentment of Bellini's passion-fraught music, had caused a hoarseness during the Interval of two days, but his skill overmas tered even that obstacle to display of perfection. "Fra poco" and "O bell alma," as he now gave them satisfied the audience that Edgardo bai to Mario a representative worthy of all credence and the world's admiration. In the close Fdgardo's dying spirit seemed to breathe out Its last fond aspiratlcn and waft its expiring sigh from the very soul of tbe singer who personates that true lover so charmingly. On hia recall, a large and very attractive bouquet lnred him across the stage, and gave many many bright eye* another long lingering gaze upon the handsome and positively real Marquis in disguise of a promo tenore. SATIRDAY AFTERNOON? GRA.VD FINALE OF THB ITALIAN OPKRA 8KAPON . Tbe influx of country folk* anxious to bid Grini and Mario a iiwl adieu, nearly tilled Boston 'a great Opera Home this slternoon.

With regard tott?ra?t,I will I eegrt the government will alwaya endeavor to eecure ita n? manifesting the respect due to all other oountrterwK.^ erer may oa the form af their government. Bf this meant it will hare the right of aecurtng Ita Indepen dence, never giving up that which it jieaeeeasi, to strictly watch over and preaerve the dimity of tho counter, in order to guard the Integrity of the soil Xaaqcn d? Aliiauu? I agree with Senor Martetegi m that there never ha* aziated in Spain any om who b had it in contemplation to toll, atUl leu to give aw? the laland of Ouba. Thia may be an opinion; bnt wi -? due regard to truth I mutt say that, however great fc corruption that may have azlatei amongst u?, of tale of the bland of Cuba no one haa had the courage to think . There I* a party in America who deaire It. bat it la not the party which deairea true liberty; it ta, oa the contrary, that which advooates slavery in ita owa country. And what la the policy which Spain ahould adopt to counterbalance that opinion? That which waa adopted by t ranee and England ? the abolition of sla very. On thia aubject I ahall offer a bill which, al though it may not obtain a majority, will be? like all thoughts which ? lowly work their way ? productive of useful reaulta. In other reapecta, I will aay that the St eminent at Washington haa proclaimed before a world that it to disposed to favor the de mocracy of Europe. Naturally ail have desired to aee what waa meant by thia promised support ; and the reeult haa bean that the United States have dona nothing in favor of the democracy of Italy, of Hun gary, or aay otbar conntry. I declare, therefore, from thia spot, that the democracy of Europe, without any ezeeptlon, baa nothing to thaak the Union for, uateea It ' be an occasional speech, the uaeleasneaa of which tba Cortes ean appreciate. Senor Lvzak, Minister of the Interior, warned tha Marquis da Albaida agalnat an Inconsiderate approach to emancipation, avowing hia own wishes for the liberation of tbe human race. Senor Fzzjoo d* Soto Ha yob referred to the patriotism of the inhabitants of Cuba, in these words:? whenever the question to be decided la whether the island a ill cease to be Spanish, wa shall ceaae to be men. The coiA try will itaelf disappear, and will be reduced, not ta a St. Domingo, but to a aecond Troy. I do not aay a imply the United States, but even a more mighty nation, will lack the power to snatch the Island of Cuba from us, if tha Spanish government acta aa it ourht, ,n alnceTlie Unite whan w? controlled ^ naif 0f the world, and ours waa tha first matiUaai nation of tha globe, wa have experienced seve ral attack a on tbe part of England, and they ware all neutralized by the valor and high aenae of honor of the Spaniards We poaseaa? and I aaaert it far tha satisfac tion of all? meana mora than aufflLolent to fling ia tho face of the Northern Republic the gauntlet that aha may one day be insane enough to present to us. Aad it is aa juit to offer the homage due to the preceding cabinets, for their patriotic course in respect to other nations, aa it was due to Mina, fighting in tha mountains of Na varre. [This allusion from a person who had advocated an] been the agent of tba apprentice system, in Cuba Is an important sanction of tha change in the condition of la bor.] But, since a bill is announced to asauia the future tranquillity of the Island, I reserve the <-xplanatioa of my views for the day wben it la presented. To day I can only tell tbe Marquis de Albaida that since tbe philan thropic act of the English aad French, I viilted Jamaica and other English inlands, in search of tbe civilization which was to follow freedom, and I found only pauper ism. vagrancy, and barbarity ; the white rase either emi grating or humbling itaelf, and the black more unhappy: or at leait not so bapp.v aa when enslaved. [In order to explain the viawa of Senor Feejoo de Soto, Mayor, we must hear In mind that he was the promoter of African apprenticeship? and that he declared in tho Etperanxa of Madrid tbat the African laborers ahould bo held under personal subjection during the'r sojourn ia Cuba, after which they should be returned to Africa.} La Sacra? I thill b? very brief. It has been said, with reference to the object of tiie United States In the annex ation of Cab*, that It wai only advocated by the South ern htates. I believe th e to be an error, anil that betides ttls tendency, which ii local, based on tha preponde rance of slave States at Washington, there ia another of a general character, which ia the advantage for the stales of the Union of taking possession of the Inland of Cuba, easily understood by limply looking at the nay. Ah 'o tha means of defence against the attack from that powerful republic, wretched will be the deitlny of that province when it propoaei no other means of repelling aggression than arnitd force. The mrana of sueeaesful defence are to be found in the prudence of Its inhabi tant!, in the Spaniah government, which ran do a great deal for them, and la thia amenably, which can do mora to enaure the tranquillity of Cuba, ean reaiit all tendency toward! Invasion, and deprive the American confederacy c f all hope of taking poaieulon of tbe island, in the great work of aecuriag the inland of Cuba on other baaee than thoie of beyoneti and cannoni, we may utilise soma of the suggestions of tlie Marquis de Albaida. Mot that I ap Frove tbe meaiure in ita general terms; on the contrary, would requeit tbe Marqaia to eonaider that the meane of moral defence and the praiervation of Cuba are da. pendent on a plan wiaely concerted, of which the tutu* of the colored race farm! a part, for the latter will be freed looner or later without tbe necoiaity of proclaim ing their emancipation, and of which plan tbe chaaga of slave into free labor ii alio a condition. To thaae fea tures are to be added the increaae of the white popula tion ? a new admlaiatratlve system, and other great reform!. As 'tbese are all ehangee whljh it will take time to mature, it would be dangeroua to anticipate them in the form of a bill, which we are unable to dleeuM without embarrassing them with a number of additional prc.vit.Iona which It would be unadviiable to bring for forward at the present moment. The following resolution was then pre ten ted: ? We call upon the Cortea to declare that it baa heard with pleasure the rxplanatiom given by the government regarding the preservation of the Inland of Cuba. Senot Olizaga closed the debate. He said that ilnea tha word "tale" had been applied to Cuba, it was important that tbe patriotic anawvr of the Minister of State (herald be supported by the Cortea, ao that thoie Intereeted la the exigence of a doubt abould be foiled. He would not have the word* of the Marquia de Albaida, patriotic and philanthropic aa thev were, misinterpreted. Tha Mar quis desires the ? belli Ion of slavery: and who, with a feeling heart, doea not desire it f Who would not wieh, If it were possible, to secure the equality of tha raoee, 10 tlat there should tot exist, to the ahame of hu manity , men tlavta of ether men? But the abolition of alavery In connect ten wilh the preservation of Caba, may t>e misrepresented. Ha truated that the element* lu eY'tf nee will be aufPcient to secure the possession of Cuba; but they should not trust alone to materia) mean! of defence. They should endeavor to attract tha good will of those Islander*, conceding sdvaattgaa to then;, and according to their enlightened men soma share in the local administration, in order that tha lat ter might feel that they had acquired a country, and wftb it ties cf lore and attachment to the parent soil.
