The Mormon Discussion

THE MORMON DISCUSSION.—We have received several severe articles against the continuance of the Mormon disclosures, now under way by Doctor Batchelor and Doctor Bennett, somewhere up town. Once writer says that these lectures are too licentious for the age; and that if they are continued, both the apostles deserve "tar and feathers." Another says that there will be in attendance ten thousand loafers and rowdies on Friday night to hear the lecture describing the secret practices of Joe Smith; and that unless the Mayor shall have the Police on duty, it may lead to rows and riots. These hints are certainly worth attending to.
