THE BASK OF PENNSYLVANIA.
It will bo seen by tba following proceed-
ings that the directori and others connected
with the Bank of Pennsylvania, have so
badly managed the affairs of that institution,
that they, themselves, are not able to com
prehend whether tba Bank is hopelessly In
solvent, or will be able to go on. The direc
tors after having aboot 3 weeks since, eulo
gised their late President, cow charge biui
with wholesale fraud and villainy.
Mr. S. Austin Allibono, the brother ef the
late President of the Bunk, in a card, arks a
suspension of public opiuion until bis brother
returns :
On Saturday last the Directors of the
Bank of Pennsylvania made affidavit before
Alderman Kenney, charging that Thomas
Allibotie, lute President of that institution,
with having received to his own uio tuo Attn
dre'l Ihoutand dollar of the moneys of the
bank, and with having absconded to a for
eign country with a dtign to defraud hit
creditors, nut leaving in the State sufficient
property to pay his debts. On this affidavit
a writ of attachment was issued, and on Sat
urday evening the sheriff Biude tho usual
service at the late residence ef Mr. Allibone,
in West Philadelphia. The i (liter is also
directed to attach certain moneys and effects
in tho'possossion of William C. Morgan and
Thomas L. Quicksall, copartners as Win, I!.
Morgnu & Co. ; of Kobe it J. Boss and Philip
P. Kelly, copartners us R. J. Ross & Co. j
and Fruiicis M. !rexel and Joseph W. UreX
fl, conurtuers as lrexel & Co., and to sum
mons llietn as garnishees, in order to hold
for the benefit of the bank whatever may be
duo from tbein to Mr. Allibone. Not tho
least singulur feature of this case and it is
one tliut proves how utterly valueless as a
protection against fraud and impropriety ore
modern directors is, that a majority of the
directors that make tho uffidnvit charging the
late Presideut with fraud and running nwsy,
only twenty days before passed a resolution
on the occasion of his resignation, expressing
"their feelings of deep regret'1 at parting
with him, and sympathizing with him that his
health required his absence from the country,
wishing him a long life cf happiness and usu
fulncfcs. By this iiffidu! endorsement by pur
ties who were iu a position to know, and who
should have known whether such an endors.
meut of lbs officer was merited, several of the
daily newspapers Were induced to helieve
that the administration of tbu affairs of the
bank, though the institution was in a failing
condition, was probably free froin the taint of
fraud. We now however have their oufn
against their words, that there is fraud, and
that their late President is unworthy of the
kind regard expressed for him. We are not
disposed to believe thut the ditectors ut the
time-of Mr. Ailibnnu's resignation were cog
nizunt of the frauds now tuorn to, but as
they should have known, they stand searcelv
less culpable to tht plundered creditors of
the bank and to the public, than if wilfully
asserting what they know to bo true. If
they knew nothing against Mr. A at tho
time of his resignation, they should have said
nothing, resting content with quietly filing
away the document that officially disconnected
him from tho institution. They were not
called on to sny anything, and certainly not
to state and proclaim an untruth. The pub
lic will fe'l much disposed to bold tho direc
tors to the just responsibility that attaches
to their office, and iu denouueing Allibono
will not withhold their censures for his advi
sers in the administration of tba affairs of the
bunk, and bis eudorsers at the end of bis
labors- Public Ltdgtr.

All mannerof rumors nr' afloat concern

counter. We learn that a ctrrgymun lias
stated that he bud known Carter fur upwards
of twenty years, that bis antecedents were
very bad; some years ago ho was involved iu
a sedaclion case, but the idea had beon enter
tained thai he had become the subject of a
marked reformation. Several years ago, the
father of JKIizabetli Me A uley" entered iuto
partnership with Carter, iu the iron business
at Berwick, where they bail a furnace und
several miaes : subsequently, by means cf
tire, Mr. McAuley was reduced to penury.
Miss McAuley was an attractive young lady
and munifcKied decided aptitude for learning
Accordingly, Mr. Carter took a greut interval
in her welfare, and said that it would be a
great sacrifice to society if tuch an intelligent
young lady bhou'd puss through life without

HALT LAKE AND MOtlMOSIIM,
P.ldcr John Hyde, Jr., delivered lecture
on Mormonism, at Concert Hall, on Saturday
nigbt. The converted Elder was not greet
ed with a full house. The lecturer, who is a
good-looking mao, cemmeiced with soma in
troductory remarks, observing that la every
subject that is presented to the attention of
ou audience there tre two questions which
should always be considered. 1st. What is
there in the subject which mokes it worthy
of A lecture, and 2d, what has iuduced the
person to lecture T Time Is too precious to
be wasted in trifles the important alone
should claim our attention.
2st. Mormonism is the subject to-t)!gbl.
Is it worthy to be heard t I think it is. As
philanthropists it deserves and demands your
attention. Fifty tbouaaud petsons are uow
undergoiog training in a system which will
bring moral and social dealructiou. . As reli
gious men I can Doint you to eray-haired
persons engaged, upod the borders of the
grave, in the practices cf what may destroy
them hereufter; as Republicans it concerns
you to kuow that a despotism is in your
midst, complicated and artful. I can point
ion to men by the borders of Sail Lake wim
sufficient ability to natch the Government
of the United States, and with tufficient (atf
to hare the law always upon thtir tide, ino
present mennurn of the N ational Government
will not suffice to check the evil Constantly
emigration is pouring into Utah. Salt Lake
City is erowiiiir, Mormonism must be met.
To be met. it must bo understood
2d. Who am IT Prejudice is ever against
an apostate. Lndcr sucb on odium and sus
tiicion 1 smear before Tea. I was a Mor
mon for years; I believed the system, I
preached it. To disseminata its doctrines 1
accepted a mission to the Sundwisa Islands.
Whv do vou uow oppose it f may bo asked.
There was a time when 1 thuugbl that I was
culled to preach Mormonism as tbe true gos
pel. You may tell me it was a delusiou and
a cheat. I embraced il; I have seen my
wronff and abandoned it. Believing it to bit
true I preached it ; having proved it bo false
I now expose it. But in doing so I do not
wish to abuse those with whom I formerly
associated, many of whom I sincerely respect.
Niue veatsaeo in London 1 first beard Mor
monism expounded. In Kurope and Ameri
ca Mormonism bus two different systems. 1
heard their statements, dogmas, and sophis:
tries. 1 was fifteen years of age a b'y.
Three months afterwards 1 was baptised and
ordained a priest. I sailed in company with
three hundred others, all Mormons, for Suit
Lake. At New Orleans we met twenty-Dve
hundred others also on their way. We knew
nothing of mormonism practically. It ws
then a thing of abstract notions. Of this
vast number many had suffered really for
the faith whicb they believed, Itwusu sec
ond Israel fleeing from another Kgypt, and
journeying under a Moses of their own. El
der II here gave a narrative of ihe journey;
the approach to Salt Luke City was vividly
described, 'I'Jie suii breaking upon the moun
tains, revealing glimpses of the City of I!o
fuge ; tho wild burst of jo, the tearful grati
tude, and wives fulling upou their husbands'
necks, forming a striking picture.
The sincerity of the Mormons lias Iieen
doubted. What could induce them te assume
the faith? A cemmmiity of hypocrites is
impossible a community of fools is uuother
matter. The sacriGces and sufferings attest
iheir sincerity.
What ore the elements of Mormonisiij ? 1
will answer. As taught, M ormoiiism is ma
terialism founded npon or conformed to the
Bible. A union of things most contradictory.
It declares for one God, yet has an array ol
Gods pertaining to different sphere- The
attribute of the IMty are bestowed npon the
pun st men, who, like Joseph Smith, are
Gods of rospttivj dispense o-k. Brigham
Young is a got) himself. Gods were, however,
formerly men as we are. They went from
world to world ou different missions. All
will ultimately be gods. The bock of Mor
mon is a history of tbe forefathers of the
Anerican ludiaus, giving te ther.i un Israel
itish origin. The creed is made. t:p of various
doctrines, borrowed from different secls( em
bracing alike Protestant and Roman Catho
lic views united to Masonic aud ether for
mula. A system culled with much ingenuity,
ycta fantastie conglomeration. Smith tunpbl
absolute itidnlgeuce here, and glorificution
hereafter.
The Salt Lnke settlement has a population
of 15,000 souls, and embruct s six square miles.
Tho houses ure built of sun dried bricks, and
are one story high. Streams eourse down
tha streets. The houses ore built widely
apart, but more compactly towards the centre
of tho city. It has the appearance of a
country huinlet, but coitain many large
buildings. Tho proniineut features of the
place ure the foundations' of the Temple, the I
l ourt lionse, und tne Arsenal Mountains
surrounded tbe city. From tho adjoining
soil a salt, niarsliv stream flows iuto tho Luke
a second Jordan flowini; into a second
j Dead Sea.
Tbu people have built a w.,11 of
uiud and straw around the city. It was par
tially built for the purpose of giving work to
the unemployed. The Mormons fcive a por
tion of their vima to public as well ns to pri
vate labors. They are diligently industrious,
ludustry is the policy of their Prophet. Yet
mere met hanic acd manufacturing propensity
are not the sijin3 of a true condition. Their
religion makes them industrious and joviul,
teaches them to be dependent upon their
leaders, and contented merely as a mutter of
policy. 1 speak advisedlv when 1 sav that
the domestic circle of the Mormon people is
; a living, burning, breathing lie. Thev all
wear a mask and assume a calmness which
th-y have uot. Their faith teaches thtru to
be selfish. They declare that God himself is
an embodiment of selfishness. Family vir
tues are considered trivial. They believo
that Christ hud five or six wives. With them
the idea is paramount that they are destined
to rule the world. The stone is to roll down
the mountain, aud Missouri is to feel its first
crushing power. The speaker reluted a ludi
crous anecdote to illustrate the confidence
which is reposed in Brigbum Y'ouug, the
great centre of the hierarchy. An old lady
waited upon him, and having expressed her
belief in bis ability to teach all things, as the
Prophet of the Lord, desired to kuow whether
she should weur red or yellow Jhmnel next her
persou Brigham Y'oung complacently told
her to wear yellow. The policy of Young is
to centre all power into his own bauds. He
has had all property conveyed to him as
trustee ef the church, and he holds as God, all
souls in his possession. His power is seven
tunes greater than smith't ever was. 1 first
saw Brigham Young at a coufereuce meeting
at Salt Luke, in Ike midst of as assembly of
from three to four thousand persons. He is
a large powerful man, acd 50 years of age,
but looks somewbut younger, llis demeanor
is composed and imposing. His voice is clear
uud souorous. He bcurs a strong resem
blance to llev. Henry Ward Beecher in ap
pearance and manner; has the same free
dashing style, aud the effect of each upon
their respective audiences ia not dissimilar.
Y'ouug is a complete master of impromptu,
virtuperative eloqueuee. His is withering
aud crushing. He spares doc from the
highest to the lowest.
This was instanced in the ease of Judge Snow,
Know was an appointee of President Pierce, a
man ef poition and education. He opposed
one of Urighmn'e decisions as President of Ihe
Chureb. Brigham, in the presence of 4000 peo
ple, denounced and cursed him. He sneered at
the Judge's an.i.uud (as he said) devotedness te
tha causa ; accusing him of leaving the Mormons
when they were strung 1 flying from the persecu
tion of Nauvoo, but seeking lbs safety and pow.
er of Utah ; again lesvipg them aud again uni
tiug with theiu. He invoked upon the Judge's
head the bitterest imprecations; called down
upon him all manner of bodily in,, ,nd finally,
in the name ef the three persons of tha Trinitv.
j bmiuhi'd Imu from 8lt Lake t Ausiiujia. Judge
Snow ia ao Illustration of tha hold which this I
this tangled web of deception has upon minds
wlncli should at least be capable r r. sitting us
influences. He had made great sacrifice for his
lalth, ha was then a man ' of wealth, yet at tha
bidding of the Mormon Prophet he left Salt
Lake penniless, and ia now preaching Mormon
isin and Brigham Young at Australia.
Young s satellites all contribute to tits exalta
tion. Kimball says that we cannot see God, but
he has given us a man to whom we can speak as
to (tod, I will risk, says be, my soul a salvation
in the hands of Drigham Young It is terrible
that such a doctrine should be taaght. It ia yet
more terrible that such a doctrine should be be.
lieved. Yet thousands of young persons ate
now growing up in it. . Sometimes there is a lit
tle opposition to the authority ofBtigham. Ho
soon arranges all difficulties. The rebellious one
is sent abroad lo disenunate the system, and
thus what would have been the means of weak
ening Young at home becomes an instrumeut for
strengthening him abroad. Drigham has twen
ty wives, and has charge of the widows ot Jaseph
Smith. Yet he has constant applications to re
ceive more wives. These he declines by saying
that his familv is large enough.
Brigham Young is the Ignatius Lay il of
Mormonism. The points or resemblance be
tweeo Young and Loyola as developed their
respective systems were here shown. IVieh
adopted a secret form for the guidance and
control ef his followers, os has been adopted
by different political and religious bodies, bat
never baa this term been prostituted as witn
the Jesuit and tha Mormon' The Mysteries
of Mormonism through which tho novice is
ennducled wero then revealed. They consist
of ceremonies at once awful and absurd. The
neophyte is couductcd iuto a room and strip
ped naked and a name is whispered in his ear
which he is to remember at tbe peril of bis
soul s salvation. In another room be is cloth
ed with a robe whicb mukos him look he!f
liko a Brahmin and half like a Jewish priest
la an adjoining room a dramatic blasphemy
goes on. Uod is personated. 1 be incidents
of Genesis the Cieulion, the Garden of
Eden, tho appaaracco of Salon, &c, are rep
resented. The initiate then performs the rir
cuit of four other rooms, covenanting und
vowing as ho goes. In one he swears to chas.
tity in another polygamy is accorded with
the sanction of Brigham Young in the third
a terrible adiuratiou to sccresy is administer'
ed tbe awful preparation for tbe fourth
where, amidst horrible surroundings, the initi
ate is sworn to eternal enmity to the United
States of Xorlh America. ' This is the "Mor
mon Endowment," through which fifty thou
sand oroor fellow creatures have passed. All
that I hold most dear on earth still cling to
this horrible system. My wifo and child re
main at ftult Luke. My wife has beeti forced,
by her devotion to lliese things, to forego
eveu her heart's own yearnings, aud utter
praters which shape themselves into curses!
Some of you, continued the speaker, may bavu
come here to gratify on idle curiosity. 1 do
not come here to pander to a prurient taste,
but to tench yor, what Mormouism is.
Elder II. concluded by an address to any
Moimon who might possibly be present. He
earnestly adjured such n one to Consider of
what the system is composed. He said that
had he found it what bu wus tuupht to be
lieve it was, he would uow be preaching il in
the Sandwich Islands. He disclaimed any
personal hostility to Brilliant Y'oung. IU
mnsit soon go hence and leave behind nothing
of biltisslf but. a dishonored nanio. Tho
speaker aaiff justified bis abandonment of
Mormonism, ond met the orgamehU by which
that doubtless would be excused. Upon thu
subject of the abandonment of Lis former
opinions, he manifested liiiii h fueling through
out the lecture. His remarks received earn
est attention, and were greeted at the close
w ith a cordial round of applause.

A Singular Statement. The Tablet, o

makes the fulluwing assertion : "Few Insu

which puts fivd hundred daily into the grave,
for one it wins to its conimunicu. And yet
this is what Catholicity is doing in these

they ure remembered for their indifference
und negligence by directois, when allotting
