RBIGHAM YOUNG.
Ah Isteiiview with tiie Mormon rROrnET.
Salt Lake City, July, 186S.
Calling on a prominent tradesman in
this place, (himself a leading Mormon
and Utah pioneer;) our party of four in
quired as to tho feasibility of obtaiuing
a brief interview with Bruhaw Young.
We were told that the modern Solomon
in domestic multiplicities if noi in wis
dom) granted few audiences to parties
seeking his prnseoco from motives of
curiosity, besides which ho was fresh
from tho grave of one of the most trusted
ministers Ileber Kimball. It eo hap
pened that one of our number had a
proposition to lay befote tho Aroh-chief
of the Mormons, which had the color,
if not the substance of business ; and so
after a private parley between the gen
tlemen wo applied to and 15righaui,wo
were informed that the latter would see
us at 10 A. M. if wo could spare the
time ; if not, then at some later hour.
I'assiup through tho iron gate of the
Uce hivo House, we found our interces
sor waiting to introduce us to tho mod
ern Seer of Zion. We wero conducted
into Brigham's office, a large apartment
handsomely furnished, and found our
selves shaking hands with a strongly
built man of sisty-cight, who seems ten
years younger. His manner was gravo
ly cordial, and ho motioned'us to chairs
with the routine air of one whoso sta
tion demands that he take a daily "pub
lic bath" of visitors of all degrees. We
were but fairly seated when two other
callers wore announced a resident of
Illinois, and his daughter, a slender
vouc irirl of twenty or thereabout. She
rushed at Bingham with a palpitating
stride, seized his hand convulsively, and
exclaimed with basty effusion : " Ah,
Presidctit Young, I am deo-light-cd to
make yojr acquaintance." He entered
into a general conversation with the
larherofthe young lady, whoso name
suggested the invention of the telegraph.
Upon that topio tho dif course ran lor a
few moments ; then gliued to Robert
button, his rcbufls, reverses and final
triumph. The young lady's father
thought the progress of the nineteenth
century was something almost startling ;
Bnghara agreed with lum ; and the
young lady, iu a bolt upright, prunes
aud prisin pose, looked as if sho were
lebatinj' whether or not it woula be tho
thing to say, ;1 l'rcsidcnt Young, I am
dce.light-ed to drop youracquaiutance."
In one corner sat iSrji!iam s l nvate
Secretary, an iutelleetual and reticent
lookiug man, past the middle ago, the
only person, it is paid, who knows defi.
nitely where the 1 rophet is to le lounu
at all minutes of tho day and night. lie
bent steadily over hiz work, but seemed
not inattentive to the conversation. One
of tho Twelve Apostles (George Q. Can
uon, editor of the Descret News,) occu
pied a chair near the secretary. Ihere
was another Mormon magnate seated in
the room, a jolly looking old man, sport
ing a prodigious watch chain of silvei,
also redj faced iu addition to being ab
dominally nretuberant, He U the his
torian of the Mormons. One need not
rcniniu long in Utah to discern that tho
leading Mormons are large, heavy men,
almost without exception. A majestic
physique impresses and helps coutroll
them ; and there may be other reasons
for the necessity of staturo and heft
among JJnphaui and his ta'.thtul minis
ters which are of a character to inspire
very quick and accurate guessing on tho
part of average people, acd of prudes
particularly.
Now for aglanco at Bringbam himself
as ho sits gravely upright in hia chair,
with his largo broad feet making a de
cent right anglo on the soft carpet. He
is clad in a suit or greenish cassimere
coat, vest and pantaloons all of the same
piece, all made roomy and comfortable,
with no pretentions whatever to stylish
build. The vest is cut so as to reveal
a broad expanse of white linen shirt
and turn. down collar. The only jewelry
visiblo is a heavy but tasteful watch
chain, leading from a vest button-hole to
tho lull vest pocket. A ciLsnly clean
parti-colored silk pocket handkerchief
is tied around his ueck and fastened in
a comely knot as if freshly adjusted
tuero by ttie last new bride. The occa
sion of this uddition to his ordinary cos
tume is a trifling disorder of the thoat,
incurred iu preuuhing the funeral dis
course of Ileber Ivuuball and lollowin
his remains to tho grave. If you chauco
to get uear euough you will occasionally
.notice that ho wheezes a little after
tpeaking. His hair is still thick and
retains much of its origiml golden oolor
t is neatly combed buck,and its teudeu
cy to turn iu uuder tho ends encouraged
a little. I he bloudo face is a cood'
looking one in whole aud in detail, but
lai lruui easy to construe. Ihe fore
ELK
head is broad, and moderately high,
and well marked in the perspective re"
gion over the brows ; the eyes are keen
in their glanoe though light in hue, and
not naturally keen ; the nose is a good,
strong, straight sort of nose. and has
been a handsome aquilino with sensual
nostrils. The mouth can hardly retain
much of iU original form and expres
sion. Authority has remolded and
compressed it until it is more like n
seam than a mouth. When ho speaks
the words seem to bo calmly weighed
by the brain, clipped by the teeth, and
finally squeezed through the left half of
tho almost locked up lips. The jaw is
the one undisguised animal portion of
the face. It is heavy, puplcish in its
fullness of blood,'and inclines to take on
the double chin.' The throat is thick,
the chest docp, tho shoulders broad,
the arms rather short, the legs yeoman
like in stoutness, and the whole figuro
that of a well proportioned largo man
nearly six feet in height, who had pass
ed his prime, and commenced to de
scend a little. The predominant expres
sion of his face, a broad sort of shrewd
ness. A profound knowledge of nature
combined with quick, solid intuitions,
and a rare executive capacity a capa.
city of intelligently dispatching impor.
taut work with rapidity and no bustle,
have placed Brigham Young where ho
is, and made his little empire in the
desert one of the wonders of tho world.
For a man of sixty eight ho is well pre
served. Hardly a gray hair is perceptible
in his head. But when he walks across
tho floor there is a suggestion of old ago,
with its coming flabbinoss and want of
supple sinews. His step lacks elasticity
and his complexion tho lrcsliness ot
vigor and ripe robustitudo. The Proph
et is going down hill. Ho is no longer
young, nor middle aged. Though ho
ho has taken two now wives within the
last six months, he has not increased
tho number of his offspring for three
years and better. Ileber Kimball, who
died at the age of sixty-eight, leaves a
platoon of infants en echelon, all the way
from three months old upward, but
JsrigUani s youngest is an urchin al
ready in pantaloons, and wise enough to
know its own mother, which for a Mor
mon baby, argues no small endowment
of preoocious reasoning powers. Three
years ago Bringhaoi married "Amelia,"
the vivacious, willful, and rather homely
daughter ot a Salt Lt.ke carpenter.
from the altar she has exerted a strange
influence over her august lord, and
though she has born him no child, sho
is still his favorite, is most frequently
seen with him in public, aud is the ob
ject of ottentions from him which few
ot his harem have ever known. Two
new wives have succeeded her one of
them a widow but neither of them
have supplanted her as the Prophet's
dearest.
IIoos. Hogs are generally quadru
ped.
Ihe extremo length of their antiqui
ty has never been fully discovered; they
existed a long time before the flood, and
hev existed some time since.
There is a great deal of internal rev
enue in a hog ; there aiu't mnch more
waste in them thuu in a oyster.
Jiivca their tails can be worked into
whistles.
Hogs are good, ouict borders, they
alwus cat what is set before 'em and
don't ask any foolish questions.
They never have any diseaze but the
measles, and they never havo that but
once ; once seems to satisfy 'cm.
There is a great many breeds amongst
them.
Some are a close corporashun breed,
and again some are built more apart
like a hemlock slab.
They used to have a breed in New
EDgland, a few years ago, which they
called the striped hog breed : this breed
was in high repute with the landlords ;
almost every tavern keeper had one
which ho used to show to travelers and
brag on him.
Some are full in the faee like a town
clock, aud some are as long aad as lean
as a cowcatcher, with a steel-pointed
nose on to them
They kan all ruto well ; a hog which
cau t rule well has been made iu vain
They are a short lived uuimal ; aud
generally die as soon as they get fat.
The hog can be learued a great many
cunning things, such as histiug the trout
gate ot from its hioges, tapping over
tnefewili barrel, and finding a hole in
tho ienco to get into a coruGeld ; but
there is no length to their memory, it
is awful hard work for them to find the
tamo hole tew git out, especially if you
are any ways auxious they should.
Hogs aro very contraiy, aud seldom
unvo well the way you are going; they
drive most the contrary way. This has
never beeu fully explained, but speaks
volumes lor the Iw.'.ISiHh'-,
TIIE TURNING OF TIIE TIDE.
Tho Arum compiles the following
list of the last two or three days' ac
cessions to the ranks of tho democra
cy. In all sections of the country,
thoughtful men aro leaving the republi
can party.
The Ureensburg (lnd.) ,rpositor,
heretofore a radical abolition) shcet;has
declared for Seymour and Blair. It
says that "tho German republicans of
Indiana aro abandoning that party by
thousands aud enrolling themselves
among the supporters of Seymour and
Blair."
The Parkcrsburg (West Virginia)
North American, formerly radical, has
corue out for tho democracy. Ita veteran
editor attended the great meeting at
Grafton, which was addressed by Hon.
ti, II. Pendleton, and says that he met
there hundreds who, like himself, are
now cordial supporters of Seymour and
Jjlair.
The Quiney (111.) Herald says that
in that city thcie have been not less
than fifty changes of German radicals
from Grant to Seymour, in the course of
tho past month, and in Adams county
not less than two hundred.
Col. W. B. Thoma.s of Philadelphia,
collector of the port uuder l'rcsident
Lincoln, has renounced radicalism and
supports Seymour and Blair.
Hon. V. a. Gooding, ot Indiana, a
Lincoln elector in 180-1, is on the stump
for Seymour and Blair.
U. v. liobcrtson, i.sa., an emcient
radical stumper made a speech for
Seymour and Blair at a ratification
meeting in Browuville, la., for which
ho is terribly abused by the radical or
gans.
Ihe Cleveland (Uhio) I'lainilcaCer
says the Hou. llichurd Gregg, ot Auro
ra, Dearburn county, a lifelong whig,
aud a republican at tho organization ot
that party, came out in a publio speech
in Aurora, last week, for Seymour and
Blair.
Hon. F. T. Backus, of Cleveland, for
merly a popular speaker of tho radicals,
has joined tho party of peaccrunion,
aud made an earnest speech at the Sey
mour and Blair ratification meeting in
that city.
The Democratic Watchman-jot Bella
fontaino, Ohio, says that within a circle
of fivo miles from this place, we have
tho names of forty. three men who have
all their lives voted with tho opposition,
aud who arc earnestly working for the
success of Seymour and Blair.
Judgo Mellen, ot Pittsbugh, renn.,
an influential radical has renounced tho
errors of his ways aud become an earn
est supporter of Seymour and Blair.
At the Democratic Uouveutioti ot tho
12th Obi j district on tho 5th inst Col.
Lyiuau L. Jackson, of Perry county, au
influential radical, made a speech de.
claring himself for Seymour and Blair.
Mr. W. 11: King, an influential citi
zen of Bedlord, Penn., and a repub
lican from the start, is out for Seymour
and Blair.
In Snyder county, Pennsylvania,
there is quito a '-revival," aud several
prominent republicans have embraced
the true political gospel. Among them
are George Sehnure, Esq., president
or the National Bank, and Judgo led
dleworth, heretofore influential mem
bers of that " party ot great moral
idoas " which is led by thieves
lbcrtincs, drunkards, plunderers, and
adulterers.
Instinct often shows human na
ture . In Greenwood Cemetery stands,
ia a little oorner of a shaded and seclu
ded nook, a pretty monumcut of white
ma. bio, over the remains ot an officer
who was killed at Autictam. During
the entire peninsula campaign this ofli.
cer was attcuded by a faithlul dog ; no
bullet ever grazed him ; nor was he
ever a straggler in any of the long
marches. Aud when tho bullet let out
his master's soul, tho dog watched by
his remains ceaselessly, uuweariedly un.
til they were covered by the sod. And
now, every night, beside his master's
grave the dog comes, and his wails, of a
grief like Rachel's, that will not be com
forted, rise on the night air. Father's
aud mothers and wives may lovo, but
What alteeuou more sincere and touch
ing than that of this dog if Keystone.
Cattle Disease. The Pittsburgh-

follows : Tho animal fir.it becomes

COURAGE, DEMOCRATS!
After reviewing the position of tho two
contending parties in the present cam
paign ; after considering tho unequalled
desertion from the cne.ny's camp into
ours ; and also witnessing tho cowardli
ness of the Radicals in evading the real
isfucs, wo have made up our mind that
that great mass of corrupt and dishonest
politicians known as the Radical party
has outlived its usefulness, if it ever had
any. Its dying agonies will be witness
ed in October and November by tho
people whom it has outraged, impover
ished and almost ruined.
Rut tho Democrats must be untiring
in their efforts tj get out the FULL
DEMOCRATIC VOTE, for therein
lies the secret of our success. We feel
assured, from an observation made by
the N. Y. Tribune - lately, - wherein
Greeley, in effect says that 500,000 of
a chango will bo required to defeat us,
that if our full vote is out Pennsylvania
will wipe out Radical Jacobinism by a
Democratic majority of 50,000 votes.

Thn Radicals reproduce the stalo
slanders of tho past, and try to ignore
tho grave questions of the present.
They prate of their loyalty and make
it the excuse for their corruption, their
extravagances and their misrule.
They imagine that you havo slept
during three years of their iniquitous
misgovernmcnt, and that you will forget
that taxation oppresses you, that your
commerce languishes, and that your
business is broken up.
They have proven themselves power
ful to destroy and powerless to restore.
Their only policy is hate, and upon
this thev ask a new lease of power, for
getful that a thinking aud a practical
people require them to answer :
Why is tho national debt greater now
than when Leo surrendered, and why
docs it still increaso 1
What has becomo of the fifteen hun
dred millions of dollars they have wrung
from tho comforts and necessities of the
people since June, 1805 ?
Why are more than ouo hundred
millions of dollars annually wasted on
tho unreconstructed South, and why is
it not made to yield as mush, to relieve
us from taxation, and aid iu paying our
debt ?
Why is the white man made the in
ferior of the negro in every Southern
Stato 1
Why is ono class of men totally ex
empt from taxatiou whilst all others
groan beneath tho load they should aid
in bearing ?
Why shall the 5-20 bonds bo paid in
gold, when by the express terras of the
contract they wero made payable in legal
tender notes ?
Why is the Constitution violated and
the Union not restored, and why are our
resources wasted, the people oppressed,
the cost of living trebled and our trada
destroyed ?
