Porter for Governor, becalm And it was a matter of frequent persona from that eeetion of After remaining about two weeks in the territory, I took peerage front Burlington in a boat Ruben with lead from the rich mineral region in the northern part of the territory. The river was very high, the wind blew a perfect gale, and the boat being laden with lead, rendered it very dangerous travelling. After proceeding down the river about thirty miles, we landed at Nauvoo where we were compelled to remain from early in the morning until night; this gave us an opportunity to visit Joseph Smith, and examine his establishment. Nauvoo is situated in Illinois, on the cast shore of the Missiasippi, and oc cupies a large bend of the river, which sweeps around from the north-east to the south-east, forming one of • the most beautiful sites for a town on the Mississip pi. I have no certain information in regard to the • size of the city, but suppose from the houses scatter ed in every direction, that it embraces the whole I bend, and the hill and country beyond for some con :he Public Works.

H., to see the prophet (or rather the litt le amount re,eived for the same period !poster.) We had to travel about two miles through the city before we came to Joe's residence. We were immediately admitted into the audience room by the master of ceremonies, and found his majesty engaged in conversation with the gentlemen who had preceded us from the boat. The reader must bear in mind that at Nauvoo, Mr. Smith is prophet, Ipriest and king, and will therefore pardon its if we use lemon when speaking of him applicable to the character he claims. Ho was dressed in military costume, black morocco boots reaching to the knee, laced up at the side and tasseled off with silk, large gold spurs, white pantaloons, a splendid gold brooch, i a military coat, with two splendid gold epaulettes, a military cap with three largo black ostrich feathers, en elegant sword, and a large diamond ring on his finger. In conversation with strangers he is vet , affable, full of fun and frolic, and jovial as " - - " e is except when talking on rel igr i gNing himself merry ' quit° dogmatical.., !Pik° had landed some time be- W hcfteiirquested the privilege of lecturingupon guwenology and mesmerism. Joe said it was all a humbug got up to gull the people and get their mo ney—he had had his head felt ono hundred times, and by some of the best phrenologists in the coun try. The phrenologist would come and place his hand upon the back of his head and say, "you have a large organ of amativeness, "you love the seamen." "And so I do, " said Joe, " I acknowledge I love ' the women, and where is the matt that don't," rais ing at the same time a great laugh in which we all joined heartily. I thought of Bennet's account of Joe's amours, and I suppose the rest of the company thought of it too, especially when they saw the num ber of handsome girls and women there were about his establishment. While Joe was conversing, an officer of high rank (I supposed by his uniform,) entered the room. It was perfectly astonishing to ace tire servility with which he approached his mas ter. lie came in, bowing low as he entered, his cap in his right hand, and the despatches or papers in Iris left, and stood at my left hand, leaning a little forward, his head inclined to the right, with his fixed intently upon his majesty, who was standing about eight feet in front. Without deigning to notice him, his majesty kept the officer standing in that position a long time, on purpose as I supposed to let us see the perfect subserviency of the people. At length he gave him a nod when he stepped forward and delivered the papers. Mr. Smith presently changed the conversation to that of a religions character. He said that there had been no Christianity since the days of Constantine until the Latter Day Saints. The church of Rome l and of the Protestant sects had become corrupt, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot—yes, corrupt to the very extremity of the tee nail, (suit ing the onion to the word, and kicking out his foot violently at the same time.) The Methodist Church was not only corrupt as the rest, but they believed in blasphemous contradiction and absurdities. Their discipline reads, " God is a being without body or parts, " and what sort of a God is that, gentlemen l It is a perfect nonsense,—" without body or parte," —who corn understand or tell any thing about such a God ;it is not the God of the Bible. And a little farther we read, "Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and Jesus Christ was crucified upon the cross; " and here is the Methodist God without body or parts crucified upon the cross! This he said with quite l i an air, and raised a laugh among the company at our expense. The company, as supposed, were not suf ficiently acquainted with theology to understand these things, and there being an apparent absurdity in the way he had presented the subject, I thought a reply necessary, turd had, in addstion, to turn the laugh on Joe if possible. I accordingly rese and said: "As Mr. Smith has called the doctrines of the church, to which I had the honor of belonging, in question, I would be glad to reply if I could have the privilege of replying without interruption." "You shall have the privilege, sir, " he repeated in a pomp ous manner, and sat down. I replied in substance as follows : " Mr. Smith said correctly when Ile stated, we believed in a God without body or parts, and such is the God of the Bible. Ile is represented as being a Spirit, a pure spiritual essence, John 4 : 34, " High as the Heaven turd deeper than hell," Job 11, 8. 'Behold the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee.

The following . account of an interview with Jue Smith, contithiinz some curious particulars, well worth reading. We tike it from a communication concerning lowa and the west in the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. A'attvco--. 7 0e Smith the Vvrmmn— c. "Do not I fill heaven and earth said, the Lord." Jet. 23: 23. a Ile filleth all in all." Eph. 1: 23. Such gentlemen, is the account the Dime g ives us of Cod. But Mr. Smith would have you believe that God has a body and parts ; and if a body he must be located. De would have you believe he is a great man, and the Bible says he is as high as the llcavenl, and deeper than hell ! A great man, reach ing from heaven to hell ; a tall than that, I think gentlemen (and then the company raised the laugh upon Joe.) Again the Blide says he fills heaven and earth. If that be the case and he is a greatbody, hiimust necessarily crowd off of the earth every body else, and there is no room for Mr. Smith and mc. And then the company raised the laugh on poor Joe again, which appeared to irritate him considerably. . . I further stated that the Bible taught us, that Jesus Christ possessed two distinct natures, the God head and the manhood, and quoted Hebrews 2 : 14, 18. Forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise, took part of the same "—.. for verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abra ham, " &c. Here some being, or character, is rep resented as taking on himself something else ; and what is that? The Deity takes the humanity; the God-head associates with itself the human nature; not sinful nature as some tell us, but human nature. And that human nature was subject to suffering ; he was hungry, thirsty, was weary, slept, was sub ject to pain, Ws soul was" exceeding sorrow fill, even unto death," &c. Now we believe that it was the human body that was crucified ; not the divinity ; it was that which he took on himself that was crucified, not the Divine nature which took the human, as is plainly shown in Hebrews, 2: 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the sonic, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death. " The company can clearly see from • this explanation of the subject that Mr. Smith has done us injustice, that the doctrine we believe ac cording to the Scriptures, and neither contradictory nor absurd." He arose when I had finished, and replied with great warmth. He said I had misconstrued the Scriptures, that the Bible said God had eyes, hawk feet, &c., and what are we to understaegleat deal he has no hands and feet? linonotthinkworth more to the same p uri ,—...rs with. As soon us he while to Ito', ,ett the room, to all appearance eon lis t ..y vexed. The next I saw was of his majes ty he was in the yard is front of his house. Look ing up the street I saw a company of cavalry in full uniform, coming down, preceded by a fine brass band, tuning their instruments to notes of sweetest melody. An officer of high rank led up a splendid black home elegantly equipped holster, pistols, &c. &c.; the horse appeared to be rather mettlesome at fast, the officer at length succeed in bringing him up to the block, mid placing his master's feet in the stirrups, his majesty rode out into the street. Some of the company then led tip the horses for Joe'l women, four in number and assisted them to mount; his women paraded on his left. The general then next in command mounted, and his women, three in number, mounted their steeds. Then another officer and his three women. They all marched up and formed in the roar of his majes ty and his harem; the gentlemen on the right, and the females on the left. In the meantime the caval ry arrived, bearing three stand of colors, and para ded in file on the side of the street. His majesty and suite then marched forward past the troops, who saluted him in handsome style with swords, colors and music. As soon as he was past the cavalry, they wheeled by platoons and formed in his rear.— They all then marched out to the parade about three miles distant to review the troops. This NV, the last I saw of Joe. Some of the company went out to the parade and reported that as near as they could judge there were about 5000 men under arms. No doubt many of the readers of the Advocate will marvel at this account. I marvel at it myself. I am perfectly astonished that men and women can be found in this enlightened land that believe all this pageantry, all this show of military glory, is in any way connected with the religion of the mcci: and lowly Jesus! How unlike the religion of Him 1 who declared his " kingdom is not of this world." How unlike the proceedings of those holy men who said " the weapons of our warfare are not carnal." To see Joseph Smith, with his sword and pistols, with his military hat and three ostrich feathers, like a Mahornedan pacha with three tails, pretending to be a prophet of the Lord, a preacher of righteous ness, believed in by thousands, is one of the won ders of the age. But why should we wonder at this, when we see a large portion of Europe, bowing down before crucifixes, counting beads, adorning saints, angels and images. Alas ! poor human nature. In my text, I intend to give an account of Smith's pretended Egyptian mummies and ancient records written on blank paper, which I was permitted to see by paying 20 cents, and to hear interpreted by Smith's mother the prophetess. The Nattvoo tem ple is unlike any thing else on earth. Arnim—A negro nation has been discovered in Africa by Mr. Wilson, a Missionary, who is sta tioned on the Guboon river, which empties in the Atlantic, about twenty miles north of the equator. They live in the interior of Africa, about 500 miles from the sea coast; and he calls them the Pungwe people. Ho supposed that this people are spread over the vast unknown region of Africa. Their ap pearance is not described, but he says they show evidence of an approach to civilization, by having in their possession articles made of iron of their own manufacture. VAN DUREN IN N.
