The follow iug is a lull report of (lie re
itiatks olden. Cass, in reply lo the toast o(
" The American Minister In France, w hose
intervention defeated the Quintuple Trea
ty," proposed by Col. Florence, of Phila
delphia, at Ihe Conon sioiial lijnqiut to
Kossuth :
I am under frreat obligations for your
kindness, manifested in your sentiment in
relation to my conduct in France but I
merely discharged my duty as an American
citizen. I diil just what every one of you
exlreiiiilv, trusting to that Ijuu who does
not give Ihe victory always to puWi r.
Hut, my friends, a greater question has
now arisen. Then we could have defend
ed ourselves aoaiust united powers. Hut a
ipieslion has nowaiisen, where you cannot
su easily cany your arms a question in
volving lor the future all questions of hu
man lights. It rejoices my heart to see
here this guest among us the leader of his
country's revolution, the ass-erter of Ihe
rights of men, and the martyr of the inde
nendence of nations welcomed to our shores.
pplause. J Sir, (turning to Kossuth,) Ihe
ocean, more ir.eicitui than llie rod ot ty
rants, has sH'il you to a country of freedom
and of safely. Applause. That was a
proud day for you, but it was a prouder
day for us, when you left the shores of old
Hellespont and put your foot upon an
American deck. Protected by American
cannon, w ith the stars of our country float
ing over, you could dely the world in arms.
Applause. And, sir, here, in the land of
Washington, it is not a t-airen welcome
that 1 mean to give you, it is not a mere
salutation '! am glad to see yo'i ;" but
much further than that, I am willing to go.
I am willing to lay down the great princi
ples of natural rights, and adhere to them.
Applause.
I will not siy, "Craven be the man
that does nut respond to it." for, thank
God, we are in a land of liberty, where
every man has a right to enjoy and exer
cise his own opinions in his own way.
Hut will sav that he who is not willing to
respond, and in an efleclual manner, to this
cry of liberty from the OIJ Hemisphere
his heart don't feel like mine. Applause.
No, my fellow citizens, no, I am for the
largest liberty to the largest number over
the whole face of the earth. Applause.
My friends who do not agree in that senti
ment, have no feeling in common with me.
Now I am willing to say and maintain,
that those despotic powers of Europe, when
tbey put their hand upon Hungary, and
marched the Cossack and the Panduer upon
the Danube to put down the first flame of
liberty, they offended against all laws of
nations, recognized throughout the civi
lized world. . ......
Well, gentlemen, I am an old man.
Laughter, and cries of "No you aint."
Hut I tell you I am approaching tny three
score years aud ten. Haifa century ago I
i crossed th" mountains a boy, on foot ; srid,
God be thanked for the institutions of this
country, and tin favors of my fellow citi
zens, that have given tne the privilege now
of maintaining human rights in such a pre.
sence as this. (Applause. The sun of
Heaven shines on nuch a government ns
this. And should we rest blindfolded, nur
arms crossed, and say to tyranny, '"Prevail
in every other r gion of the world?"
Cries ol "No! no!" I thank you for that
response. That is my feeling. Now, my
friends, I am willing to say, Hint is the law
of nations. Laughter and applause. Every
independent nation under Heaven has a
right lo establish just such a Government
as it pleases. And if the oppressed ol any
nation wish to throw off their shackles,
they have the right lo without the inter
ference of any other; and the land which
was first freed by the Father of his Coun
try, may sympathise with every other na
tion which unfurK s the banner of freedom.
A pplause.
1 am willing as a member of Congress,
to pass a declaration to-morrow, in the
name ol the American people, maintain
ing that sentiment. Great cheering.
And I will go home to tny constituents,
and il they disapprove of the act as I
know they won't 1 will never come back
here again. Laughter. 1 am willing to
go further. 1 am willing to say thai no
nation under Heaven, whether its chief
magistrate wears a hat or a crown, has o-ny
right to interfere in the affairs of another
nation struggling for human liberty; I am
willing lo make that declaration in the
name ol the American people, and I am
willing to leave it this very moment
when it is necessary to act to those who
are to determine the course necessary to
take, unlil such proper times and circum
stances as the case may require. Ap
plause. There, gentlemen, you have my
sentiments. 1 aiti much obliged for your
kind attention.

Washington, J.m 8i h, 1S"i2.
Kos nth was to-day introduced lo the
House of liepresenlalives, when, in answer
to the welcome expressed to him, in brief,
but affectionate terms, he spoke as follows :
.. ''Sir, it is a remarkable fact in the history
of nii iikind, that while, throughout the
past, honors were bestowed upon glory,
and glory was attached only to success, the
legislative authorities of this great Kepub
lie, bestow the highest honors upon a per
secuted exile, not conspicuous by glory, tiol
favored by success, but engaged in a just
cause. There is a triumph of republican
principles in this liict. Sir, I thank the
House of U 'presentatives of the l.'uited
Stales, in my, and my country's name, for
the honor of Ibis cordial welcome."
The House afterwards adjourned, and
the members were severally introduced ;
after which Kossuth withdrew. The din
ner at the National came off between 7 and
S o'clock this evening, and is by no means
over now, half past 11 o'clock, P.M.
The President of the Senate, the Speaker,"
Judge Wayne, Mr. Webster, Mr. Corwin
and .Mr. S'uart were present on Ihe part of
the Cabinet ; the President was invited,
but did not accept. Webster spoke twice;
so did Kossuth, who was followed princi
pally by Lewis Cass and Judge Douglass. !
Mr. Webster's speech, without promising I
anything to Hunjurv, lidiculed Austria, !
anil alluded to his Huisemann letter, which !
he wrote the summer before last in his lei- j
sure hours, amid bis native mountains of :
New Hampshire, The allusion to friar j
Hiilsemann drew a storm of applause, and j
plainly showed that Austria had no friends j
in that pari v. Kossuth's speech is the i
. , 1 ; , .. , ,' , , . I
most eloquent 1 ever listened to, and 1 ilo
not accept any one 1 have heard on the I
floor of eithe'r House of Congress. The j
applause was less; but many an eve moist- I
eued, and the tears trickled down the i
cheeks even of IliV neighbor, Mr. Corco- !
ran. They were tears that did him as
much credit as any bill he has yet honor
ed, either in the way of husinetg or from
charity. Some ol the Western Members
and Senators had to apply their handker
chiefs to their eyes, and many a stern man I
was seen to melt before the magic of true
eloquence, in a man of true character. As
one ol the most skilful turns of the orator,
you will notice the piayer to Almighty
God for succor, which he interwove so
beautifully, so pathetically, and at the same
time so clearly, with a view to pray for
that lo God which he dared not pray Con
gress for, that no ambassador, not even the
Greek philosophers, that plead before the
Roman Senate for a remission o( a fine nl
500 talents with which Greece was pun
ished, discharged their task better and
more to the astonishment of those who
yielded to their persuasion. Kossuth's
speech contained the elements of several
historical tragedies, a dozen "elegies, two
epics, a dozen lyrics, and the text of at
least 5000 stump speeches.

We give below a few extracts, from tho
repoit of the Judoes of Utah Teniiory, to
the President of the United Slates, in regnid
lo the condition of Mmmonism nod the
treatment Ihey received from Hiiyhum
Young. The report opens as follows :
To His Excellency Mttlnril Fillmore,
President of the United Slates
Sin It becomes our duty, ns officers
of the United States for the t"nitory of
Utah, to inform your Excellency that we
have been compelled to w ilhdiaw fiom the
territory, and our official duties, in conse
quence of the lawless nets and the hostile
and seditious feelings nnd sentiments mani
fested by Hrighatn Young, the (iovernor,
and the great body of the residents there,
towards the government and ollicers or the
United Slates, in aspersion and denunciation
so violent and offensive ns to render the dis
chaige of our ollicial- duties not only dan
gerous but impracticable, and a longer resi
dence in the lerriloiy, in our judgements,
incompatible wilh a proper sense of self
respect, and the high regard which la due to
the United Slates.
To enable the government lo uinleistanil
more fully the unfortunate position of affairs
in that territory, it wilky.be necessary lo
explain the extinnrdinaiy religiuns organi
zation pxisliii!! ihere its unlimited pieten
sion, influences, and powers, and lo enter
iulo a disagreeable detail of facts, and the
language and sentiments of the (iovernor,
and others high in authority, toward the
people and government of thu United
Slates
We found, npnn nnr arrival, that almost
the enliro population consisted of n people
called Mormons ; and the Mormon Church,
oversh.idnwino nnd controlling the opinions,
the actions, the property, and even the lives
of ils members j usurping nnd exereisiiiL'
Ihe functions nf legislation, and the judicial
business of Ihe leriilnry ; organizinir nnd
eommamlina the military : disposing of the
public lands upon its own teims; coining
money, and forcing ils circulation n. n
standard above its real value ; openly sanc
tioning nnd lielending the practice of poly
.'amy, or pluinlily of wives ; exacting tidies
from its members, nnd enormous taxes from
citizens not members ; penet'iiling mid sn.
pel vising the social and business citcles, nnd
inculcating and requiring as an article of
religions f.iiih, implicit obedience to llio
councils of thu chinch, as paramount to all
the obligations of morality, society, allegi
ancp. nnd of law. At the head nf this for
midable; oraiiizaii in, styled "The Church
of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day nnd Latter
End Saint.-'j" Mood loigham Y'oiinc, ihe
Governor, claiming repiesunlcd to be the
Prophet of (bid, and bis saying as direct
levi'u'.ions fiom heaven, commanding there
by unlimited sway over llio ignoiaut and
ciednlons. His opinions wore their opinions
nnd his wi-hes their wisher, lie bad but
to indicate his sympathies or dislikes, and
they weni made their sympathies or dis
I kos. In a woid. he nil d without a rival

autlioi ity.

Hu announced lo thu iinmenso musses
who assembled for winship, "thai he was
not uppose.l to the government of the United
Suites, but it was the dd infernal corrupt
6l.lim,d,eU at the head of it." In speaking
of ,)ti,allizil,i()11 ,,f ,Ut, UMiitory, and the

speaker, high and influential in
the church, encuuiajjed by this determiua-
lion of Ihe executive of the lerrito y, an
nounced f i mil the pulpit to a large audience,
"that the United Slates ollicers might re
main in llie leiritory so long ns they be
haved themselves and paid their boarding ;
but if they did not, they (the Moinious)
would kick Ihem to hell, where they be
longed. Upon Ihe occasion of celebrating Ihe an
niversarv of the arrival of llie Mormon pion
eers iulo ihe valley (the 24th of July,) an
immense concourse of their people were
assembled fiom all pmls of ihe territory.
Those of ns then in ihe territory were invi
ted lo be present and participate in the fes
livilies of ihe occasion. We were seated
upon the stand or platform, with a number
uf the leading men of ihe church, including
ihe present deleaule in Cuimresu, (lion. John
M. Bernhiesel.) The IJdvernor rnsn lo
address Ihe audience, and a pinfoend silence
ensued, as is always the case when he rise
to speak. After rellecling in terms of con
demnation upon llio alleged hostility of
den. Taylor lo dm Murnions, and lo giving
ihem a govermneiilj he exclaimed in a loud
an I exulting lone, "but 7. chary Taylor is
dead and ill hell, and I am glad of il."
Then, drawing himself up to Ills ulmbst
height, ami stretching otit his hands toward
heaven, he declared in a still more violent
voice, ,:And I prophecy, in the name of
Jesus Cluist, aud by Ihe power of the
priesthood w hich is upon me, that any Pres
ident uf Ihe United States who lifts bis fin
ger, against this people, shall die an untime
ly death, aud go lo hull I'' To this senti
ment, thurs canie up from those seated
around us, and . front all parts of the house,
loud and mingled responses of "Amen,"
"Good," &c. Willi ihe iuvilallon lo be pre
sent on this occasion was included an invita
tion to dine with the Governor. Although
we believed the occasion of our presence
was seized upon by ihe Governor lo show
us how brave and independent he could be
in his decimations, nnd with what impunity
our feeling could be outiaged and insulted,
we were foieed fiom an indisposition to pro
duce a rnpiure, nnd break off our ollicial
relations su soon after our ntrival, lo smother
our iridignntion, and mingle in a parade of a
dinner. Upon a subsequent occasion, in
reply to Ihe remarks made by one of the
mule-signed upon Ihe subject, before a large
audience the Governor reiterated and de
clared, 'd did sny that General Taylor was
dead and in hell, oinf knwv it." A man
in the crowd, seemingly lo give the Gov
ernor an opportunity of fixing its I ruth spoke
out and said, 'How do you know it 1" to
which the Governor promptly answered,
"Because God told me so." An elder in the
church, laying his hand upon ihe shoulder of
one of the undersigned, added, "Yes, Judge
and you'll know it, too, for you'll see him
when you get there."
In reproach of our Government, it was
declared, in oui presence, before a large au
dience, by another speaker, that "the Uni
ted Suites had intended the utter destruction
of the Mormons, aud in a cruel, wanton and
dastardly manner had torn away five hun
dred of them from their wives and children,
and forced them into service as soldiers,
leaving their w ives and children lo perish
on the fioutiers."
The repoit next goes on lo notice many
sediiioiii aud hostile declarations by Govern
or Young, and others from the pulpit. The
Governor refused all advices or dictation in
regard lo llio formation ol a Territory, and
threatened to kick any man who should at
tempt it. The report notices the murder of
a citizen of the United States, named James
Monroe, from Ulica, New Yoik, on his way
lo Salt Lake, City, by a member of the
church, and the remains brought into the
city and buried, without an inquest, the
inuideier walking thiough the streets ufter
waids, under the eye of the Governor, and
in his society some uf the relatives of ihe
deceased residing there, and member of the
church, afraid or disinclined In act. It was
reported, and believed by many, that ihe
murder was counselled by the church, or
some of ils leading members, and such an
impression would paralize Ihe hand of any
one inclined lo interfere. This rumor re
ceived much force from the intimacy be
tween the olleudcr and the leading mem
bers of the church, before and after the com
mission of the olfeuce. He was several
weeks iu the city, and unknown, as well as
his locations, to any of us ; it was the com
mon talk that he intended to kill Mr. Mod-
roe ; lie was permitted to go out sixty or
eighty miles, to meet his intended victim,
and none of these men, w ho knew the fact
lifted an aim or a voice to prevent Ihe deed.
He met Monroe, who was unarmed, invited
him out of bis camp, look a sent aud talked
half an hour wilh him, aud then lose up aud
blew hi, brains out wi'.h a pistol.
The biilh day of Washington was celebra
ted by Ihe Judues, by llie delivery of a
discomse on ihe life and character of Wash
ington. The address, says the reporl was
entirely free fiom any allusion, even Ihe
most remote, lo ihe peculiar religion of Ihe
community, or to any of their domestic and
social custuius, w hich were liberal and lux
liiious in the extreme. It contained not a
single expression of bravado or iiukiuduess,
or harsh rebuke, or any sentiment lhal could
have been tortured into a design on the part
of Ihe speaker to ii.lliet wantonly a wound
upon llio heart of his hearers, many of ihem
being females. At the close of Ihe address,
ilm Governor arose and denounced the
speaker with great violenCi as "profoundly
ignorant or wilfully wicked ;'' strode the
stage madly, assumed various theatrical at
titudes, declared "he was a greater man
than even tleurge Washington ;" that ' he
knew more than George Washington did ;"
that ' he was the man that could handle the
sword ;" and "that if ihere was any more
discussion, there would be pulling of hair
and cutting of ihioals." Helen ing lo a re
mark of llie speaker "that the United States
government was humane, and kindly dispo
sed toward them," ho said, "1 know ihe
United Slates did not murder our wive and
children, burn our lmuieg and tub U uf our
property, but they stood by and saw it done
and never opened their months, the dd
seioundrel." By this time. Ihe passion of
the people were lashed iulo a fury like bis
own. To every sentence he utlered, iheie
was a pionipl and determined response,
showing beyond a doubt lhal all llie hostile
and sediiiou sentiments we had previ
ously lieu id, were tlld sentiments of this
people.
The Governor finally finding that the
odicers were abuut to leave, resolved lo get
possession of the 24,0UO ihey had with
them, but failed, afler eihausliug every
means in hi possession. The report close
is follows
We deem it our duty to state, iu this offi
cial communication, that polygamy or
"plurality of wives, i openly avowed and
practised in the tenitory, under the sanction
and in obedience tohe direct command of
ike church." Bo universal it this piaclice,
that Very few, if any, leading men in I bit
community ran be found who have cot more
than one wife each, which create a monop
oly, and which waa peculiarly hard upon
the officers sent to reside, there, The prom
inent men in the churph whose example in
all tiiiijs il is; (be uitjbitioii uf t) inure
humble lo imitate, have each many wives,
some of Ihem, we are credibly Informed and
believe, as many as twenty or thirty, and
Brigham Younp, the Governor, even a grea
ter number. Only a few days before we
left Ihe territory, the Governor was seen
riding through the streets of the city in an
omnibus with a large company of bis wives,
more than two thirds of whom had infants
in their arms a sure sign that Ihe evil is
increasing. It is not uncommon to find two
or more sisters married to the same man ;
aud in one instance, at least, a mother and
her two daughters are among the wives of a
leading member of the church. This prac
tice, legarded and punished as a high and
revolting crime in all civilized conntries,
would, of course, never be made stalutary
offence by a Mormon Legislature ; and if a
crime at cemmon law, the court would be
powerless to correct the evil, with Mormon
juries.
The city of Great 'Salt Luke is an impor
tant point in the overland route to Oregon
and California, for the emigrant to replenish
his stores, or to winter if oveitaken by the
advance of the season ; but the intimida
tion which is produced by the denunciation
and ponduct of the Mormon church, and
people upon citizens of Ihe United Slates
there, is such as to induce the emigrants to
avoid it if possible, and the resident to sub
mit, without a murmur. No man dare show
opposition to their law less exactions, with
out feeling its effects upon hi liberty, his
business, or bis life. And thus upon the
soil of the United States, nnd under ihe
broad folds of ils stars and snipes, which
proteel him in his rights iu every part of the
civilized world, Iheie is a spot, where the
citizen dare not exercise the liberty of a
freeman. We were told that many of the
"Gentiles" (as all are called wbo are not
members of the Mormon church, and have
only one wile) have been sentenced for
trivial offences to two, five, and ten years of
hard labor upon the public highways, wilh
ball and chain to their legs, with no shelter
at night but caverns dug in the earth by
their own hands. We have seen one of
these highways, cut out of the side of a
mountain, and the caverns far down at the
base ; but the approach of the federal offi
cers, we were told, was Ihe signal fot the re
lease and banishment of these eon v ids fiom
ihe territory into Texas.
We have purposely forborne to introduce
into this report, and "it is a vexation, only
lo understand the report" so far us was
practicable, anything uf a personal nature,
not deeming it necessary to instance ihe
personal indignities find insults to which
we were not unfrequently subjected in con
sequence of our position there as officers of
the United States. Our purpose has been to
place before the President only such facts as
we believe to be of public importance, fiee
from all compluint of a private nature.
Aware of the President that the officers ap
pointed for that teiriloiy should proceed to
the discharge of their official duties, so a
to secure the confidence and amicable eo
upeialion and promote the welfare of Ihe
people among whom ihey were sent, we
were not only scrupulously careful lo give
no cause of offence, but equally slow to
take offence at any exhibition ol a want of
courtesy or good will towards u. In view
of Ihese considerations, it was with great
reluctance we yielded lo the conviction that
lo remain would be a cause of just reproach
lo us as citizens and officers of the govern.

Ths Caoup How to PaavcMT it. A
correspondent of the New York Mirror, i
medical practitioner, in an article ou this sub
iect, says;
"The premonitory symptom of a croup is a
shrill sonorous cough. The patient is not
sick has no fever, a often iu a common
cold is livelvi perhaps even gayer than
usual, his hand are tool, bis face not flush,
possibly a shade paler than usual. Tbu sol
itary symptom may last for a few days, with
do maieiiul increase or abatement,-aud with
out atlraoliug any notice' suddenly, however
the disease hitherto latent, barsta forth in all
its fatal fury, and to often continue il futal
ravage unchecked, to the dreadful eonsum
matiun; The remedies for this symptom of
croup are simple, and in most instances per
fectly efficient. Tbey are : a mustard poul
tice, or a strip of flannel dipped in oil of tur
pentine or spirit of hartshorn, applied to the
throat and nauseating dose of Hive's syrup
to be continued at long a the cough remain.
By ihi timely employment of these rtiild
gent, I unhesitating assert lhal a multitude
of live might bis saved every week that are,

"I was quite fortunate in the canvass-back

Mr. Lawrence tells me thai he never eat

The duke was delighted with ibis specimen
of Yankee game. 1 parlook of them myself

therefore, shot in the Chesapeake bay, on
