The last letter from Horace Greelj, pobHshed in the Tribune of Saturday, contains an aecoant of an interview held between Greeley and Brig, bam, which, for its interest and importance, we extract ntire. The letter is dated Salt Lake City, July 13th, and ia us follows: My friend Dr. Bernhiael, M. C, took me this afternoon, by ap- pointment, to meet Brighata Young, President of the Mormou Chnrch, who had expressed a willingness to receive me at 2 p. u. We were very cordially received at the door by the President, who led ns into the second story parlor of the Llargest of his houses, (be has three) where I was introduced to Heber C. Kimball, Gen. Wells, Gen. Ferguson, Albert Carrington, Elias Smith, and several other leading men in the chnrch, with two full grown sons of the President. ;rAfter some unimportant conversation - on general topics, I stated that I had come in quest of fuller know-edge'respecting the doctrines and polity of tbe Mormon Church, and would like to ask some questions bearing directly on these, it there were no objection. President Young avowing his willingness to respond to all pertinent inquiries, the conversation proceeded substantially as follows: II. G. Am I to regard Mormanism (so called) as a new religion, or as simply a new develop ment of Christianity? B. Y. We hold that there can be no true Chris tian Church without a priest hood directly commissioned by and in immediate communication with the Son of God and Savior of mankind. Such a church is that ot the Latter Day Saints, called by their enemies Mormons; we know no other that even pretends to have present and di rect revelations of God's wilL II. G- Then I am to understand that you regard all other churches professing to be Christian, as the Chursh of Rome regard- all churches not in communion with itself as schismatic, heretical, and out of the way of salvation? B. Y. Yea, substantia!??. 11. G. Apart from this, in what respect do your doctrines diffir essentially from those of our Or thodox Protestant Churches, the Baptist or Meth odist, for example? V B. Y. We hold the doctrines of Christianity as Jevealed in the Old and New Testaments, also in the Book of Mornron, which teaches the same cardinal truths," and those only. U. G. Da you believe in the doctrine of the Trinity? B. Y. We do; but not exactly as it is held by other Churches. We believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, as eo'V "U not iden tical, an J aa one persbn f beiugV) We believe in all the Bible teaches on this subject. H. G. Do you believe in & personal devil, a distinct, conscious, spiritual beine, whose nature and acts are esseutially maligoant and evil? B. Y. We do. H. G. Do you hold the doctrine of eternal punishment? . B. Y. We do; though perhaps not exactly as other Churches do. We believe it as the Bible leaches it. II. G.I understand that you regard baptism by immersion as esseatial. B. Y, We do. II. G. Do you practice infant baptism? B. Y. No. H. G Do you make removal to these, valleys obligatory on your converts? B. Y. They would consider themselves greatly aggrieved if they were not invited hither. We hold to suth a gathering together of God's peo ple ai the Bible fortells and that this is the place, and now is the time appointed for its consummation. - - ... II. G. The predictions to which you refer have usually, I think, been understood to indicate Je rusalem (or Judea) as the place of such gathering. " , B. Y. Yes for the Jews; not for others. II.G What ia ; the ' position of your Church with respeet to slavery? B. Y. We consider it of Divine institution, and not to be abolished until -the curse pronounced ou Ham shall have been removed from his des cendants. - ' H. G. Are a iy slaves now held in this Territory.B. Y. There are. H.G. Do your Territorial laws uphold slave ry? ;. ;': : B...Y." Those 'laws are printed; you can read for yourself. If slaves are brought here by those who owned them in the States, we do not favor their escape from the service of those owners. H. G. Am I to infer that Utah, if admitted as a member of the Federal Union, will be a Slave State? B. Y. No; she will be a Free State. Slavery here would prove useless and unprofitable. I regard it generally as a curse to tbe masters. I myself hire many laborers, and pay them fair wages; I could not afford to own them. I can do better than subject myself to an obligation to feed and clothe their families, to provide and care for them in sickness and health. Utah is not adapted to slave labor. H. G. Let me now be enlightened with regard more especially to your Chnrch polity. I under stand that you require each member to pay -over one-tenth of all he prodaces or earns to the Church. B. Y. That is requirement of our faith. There ia no compulsion as to the payment. Each member acta ia the premise according to his pleasure, under the dictates of hi own conscience. . i... IL G. What U dose with tie proceeds of this tithing? - ;. . B. Y. Part of it is deroted to bandinj temples and other places of worship; part to helpthe poor and needy conrerts on . their way to this couBtrj; and tbe largest " portion to the opport of the poor aaoow the Saints. , , Ty - , pH. G. Is none of it paid to Bishops and their dignitaries of the Church? - B. Y. Not one penny. :r No Bishop, no Elder, no Deacon, or other church officer receives any compensation for his official services. A Bishop is often required to put his band in bis own pock, ft, and provide therefrom for the,: poor of hia charge; but be never receives anything for his services. -- i H G. How, then, do your ministers live? B. Y. By the labor of their .own hands, like the first Apostles. Every Bishop, every Elder, may be daily seen at work in the field or the shop, like his neighbors; every minister of the Church has his proper calling by which be earns the bread of his family; he who cannot or will not do the Church work for nothing is njt wanted in her service; even our law jers, (pointing to Gen. Ferguson and another present, who are the regular law yers of tfe Church,) are paid notliog for their services; I am the only person in the Church who has not a regular calling apart from the Church's service, and I never received one farthing from her treasury; if I obtain anything from the tith" ing house, I am charged with and pay for it, just as any one else would; the clerks in the tithing store are paid like other clerks.but no one is ever paid for any service pertaining to the ministry . We think a man who cannot make his living aside from the Ministry of Christ un suited to that office. I am called rich, and consider myself worth $250,000; but no dollar of it was ever paid me by tbe CburclTor for any service as a minister of the Everlasting Gospel. I lost nearly all I had when we were broken up in Missouri and driven from that State; I was nearly stripped again when Joe Smith, was murdered and we were driven from Illinois; but nothing was ever made up to me by the Church, nor by any one. I believe I know how to acquire property and how to take care of it. - II. G. Can you give me any rational explanation of the aversion and hatred with which your people are generally regarded by those among whom they have been brought directly in contact? ;: --.--' B. Y. No other explanation , than is afforded by the crucifixion of Christ and the kindred treatment of God's ministers, prophets and saints in all ages. . - " II. Q1 1 know that a new sect is always decried and traduced that it is hardly ever deemed respectable to belong to one that the Bastists, Quakers, Methodists, Universalists, Ac, have each in their turn been, regarded in the infancy of their sect as theofFscourirg of the earth; yet I cannot remember that either of them were ever generally represented and regarded by the older sects of their early days as thieves, robbers, murder ers. . -', .' c B. Y. If you will consult the coteroporary Jewish accounts of the life and acts of Jesus Ohr'aV yoa will ili ttrariT ana bis disciples were Accused of every abominable deed aild purpose rob bery and murder included. Such a work is still extant, and may be found by those who seek it. II. G. Wha t do you say of the so-called Dan-ities, or Destroying Angels, belonging to your Church? . ' B. Y. What do yon say? I know of no such band, no such persons or Organization. I bear ot them only iu the slanders ot our enemies. H. G. With regtrd, then, to the grave question on which jour doctrines and practices are avowedly at war with those of the Christian world j that of a Dluralit v of wives is the srstem of your Church acceptable to the majority of its women? ..- . v B. Y. They could not be more averse to it than 1 was when it was first revealed to us as the Divine will. I think they generally accept it, as I do, as the will of God. II. G. How general is polygamy among you? B. .Y. I could not say.. Some of tVcse present heads of the Church have each but one wife; others have more; each deter mines what is his individual duty. .- . H. G. What is the largest number of wives belonging to any one man? B Y. I have fifteen; I know no one who has more; but some of those sealed to me are old ladies whom 1 regard rather as mothers than wives, but whom I have taken home to cherish and sup port. "' - --. H: G. Does not the Apostle Paul say that a Bishop Should be "the husband of but one wite?'' B. Y. So we hold. We do not regard any but a married roan as fitted for the office of Bishop. But the Apostle does not forbid a bishop having more than one. II. G. Does not Christ say that he who puts a-way his wife, or marries one whom another has put away, commits adultery? B. Y. Yes; and I hold that no man should ever put away a wife except for adultery, not always even for that. Such is my individual, view of the matter. . I do not say that wives have never been put away in our church, but that I do not approve of the practice. ' II. G. How do you regard what is commonly called the Christian Sabbath? B. Y. As a divinely appointed day of rest. rWe enjoin all to rest from secular labor on. that day. We would have no man enslaved to the Sabbath, but we enjoin all to respect and enjoy it. .v- v" ; - ; Tr-' ", BRIOHAM'S IPPKARAMCC, C. Such is, nearly as I can recollect, thejsubstance of nearly two hours' conversatian, wherein much was said incidentally that would not be worth reporting, even if I could remember and reproduce it, and wherein others bore a part; but, as President Young is tbe first minister of the Mormon Church, and bore the principal part in the conversation, X have reported his - answers alone to my questions and observations. - The others appeared uniformly to defer to his views, and to acqaiese fully in his responses end explanations. He spoke readily, not always with grammatical aceoracy, but with no appearance of hesitation or reserve, and with no apparent desire to conceal anything, nor did he repel any of my questions as impertinent. Be was very plainly dressed ia thin summer clothing, and ; with no air of sanctimony or fanaticism. ' In appearance, he is s port), frank, ' ood-sataredj .' rsther, thick-set man of fifty five, seeming to enjoy life, and . in no particular hurry to get to heaven. Eh : ;.ao-ciates are plain men, evidently born and rt tred tn Ufa it laKnp nd lnnVinV aa IlttLt liVr ,ftv hypocrites or swindlers as any body of men Tev-J er met. The absence of cant or snofSe fbm their manner was marked and general, t jet, I think I may fairly say that their Mormoni&W has not impoverished them that they were generally poor men when they embraced it, and ara now in very comfortable circumstance as men aver aging three or four wives apiece certainly need to be. -V-.; : . J " - If I hazard any criticisms on Mormon ism gen erally, I reserve them for a separate letter, being determined to make this a fair and full expose of the doctrine and polity, in tho very words of the n l . t -Tl. t - v:i .; rropnet, so tar as i can reeait mem. x uo noiu . aeueve rresiaenv xoung mmseu eputa pr.i ihem less obnoxious to the Gentile world than the above. But I have a right to add here, because 1 said it to the assembled chiefs, at the close of the above colloquy, that the degradation (or, if you please, the restriction) of woman U the single office of child-bearing and its accessbries, is an inevitable consequence of the aystembere paramount. I have not observed a sign in the streets, an advertisement in the journals, ot this Mormon metropolis, whereby a woman proposes to do any thing whatever. . No Mormon has ever cited to me his wife's or any woman's optnisn on any subjeet; no Mormon woman has been kit ro duced or spoken to me; and though I have been asked to visit Mormons in their houses, no one has epoken.of his wife (or wives) desiring to see me, or his desiring me to make her (or their) acquaintance, or has voluntarily indicated the existence of such a being or beings. I will not at. tempt to report our talk upon this subject, because, unlike what I have above given, it assumed somewhat the character of a disputation, and I could hardly give it impartially. buone remark made by President Young I think I can give accurately,, and it may serve as a Sample of all that was offered on that side. . It was in these words, I think exactly : "If I didr hot consider myself competaut to transact a certain business without taking my wife's or any woman's counsel with regard to if, I think I ought to let the business a-lone." Tbe. spirit with regard to Woman j of the entire Morman, as of all other polygamic eystems is fairly displayed in this avowal. Let any such system become established and prevalent, and woman wiU'soon be confined to the harem, and her appearance in the street with unveiled face will be accounted immodest. I joyfully trust that the genius of the Nineteenth Century tends to a solution of the problem Of Woman's sphere and destiny radically different from this.. 0itr (Obit S-taft ITtbs.

Prom the Ohio Statesman. The Prospect in Ohio. We receive from- our correspondents the most cheering reports from every part of tbe State. The Democratic party is gaining daily accessions from tbe honest men wbo have heretofore acted with tbe Be publican party. The people are rapidly losing confidence in the politicians of that party, and are by hundreds and thousands withdrawing from that organization and joining the Democracy. The unblushing and wicked assaults made by Chase, Giddings, Dennison & Co. on the laws and the constitution; the defeat cf judge Swan for his honest ad faithful discharge of duty; their-bold avowal that they want the public foods, the taxes drawn from the had earnings of the people, put into the hands of Republican speculators to use and make profit out off and the general dishonesty and corruption that everywhere prevails among the leading Republicans, has aroused a feeling of alarm in the ranks of the honest, patriotic voters, ad the inquiry that follows is fast doing its work. The Republicans are losing and the Democracy gaining ground daily. This state of things must continue from the present time until election day, and such is the condition of a vast body of the voters in the Republican party, that by dilli-gence on tbe part of their Democratic neighbors, in diffusing among them information and facts in relation to the present position of parties and the corrupt designs of the Republican managers( thousands may yet be induced to abandon the ranks and join the Democratic standard. We are aware that our Democratic friends are at work in alt parts of the State, but let them redouble their dilligence, in' laboring with their patriotic neighbors among the Republicans. Let documents be spread among them and appropriate arguments made to show them the danger to our Union if the Republicans are not put down; A deep seated dissatisfaction exists among a large class of patriotic voters in the Republican ranks, and a revolution has already commenced, which, with proper energy on the part of our Democratic friends will sweep the State and overthrow the traitorous crew who now head the Republican party. The signs are encouraging on every side. General harmony prevails. Let it be tbe universal determination that it shall not be broken, and let all go to work with energy, and the result must be a glorious Democratic victory. . Does the Boy Know bis Daddy?

We have a curious development lately. Tbe Ohio Statesman publishes n letter which Gover-eroor Chase addressed to it privately last winter. The Governor was anxious to stop the States? man's allusions to the famous falsehoods by which he saved himso f and his party from defeat in the campaign of 1857, As a means for excusing himself for the statements then made, Chase tells the Statesman that he placed his reliance on Sparrow's investigations, aud relying on their accuracy, he was led to make the declaration that not a tingle dollar of tbe public money had ever improperly touched the beads of a Republican State Officer. This is a most shameless pretence and sinks Chase still deeper in tbe mire. Sparrow's report did not sustain Chase's declaration. It did erroneously fix the entire defalcation as having occurred 'whhin Breslin's term of office, but it did -not relieve Republican State officers from participating jn the improper use of the public money. On the contrary, it contained sufficient to show to all wbo were willing to open their eyes, that Boweo, vsKom .Chase appointed Supreme Judge of Ohio, was one of Breslin's abettors in the misuse of tbe Treasury. ' . ' ' . But had there been no such intimation as this in the report of Mr. Sparrow, tbe Governor had bed ob bis table for eight months previous, proof of a character so unimpeachable as should have prevented such assurances as he dishonestly gave to his deluded hearers front tbe stump. ' In February, 1857, the printed report of the Republican Investigating Committee (Messrs. Taylor, Sionett and Smith.) was placed on the table of the Governor. . This was six or eight months before the delivery of Chase's stump speeches through the State. In the iovestigatinx-report, the committee distinctly showed up the fact, that Gibson hzi l&xned t Tranh Kimball, Le Iiepui- liean Attorney General, THTBTY THOUSAND DOLLARS os soAicA to start a BRQKEP'S OFFICE in Cleveland. This transaction is in all respects identical with tbe most censurable ope rations in which Breslio has been found to have beeu engaged. Yet Chase assured his friends that not a single dollar of tbe public money had ever been wrongfully used by a Republican State officer! Perhaps he thoaght Kimball's conduct in no respect improper. If this be. so, then he aud Brealin agreed exactly. Newark Advocate, Dennison and Corwin at Portraonth." "r . Mr. Dennfson and Got. Corwin spoke at Portsmouth on last Saturday afternoon. The Tribune of that place, a Republican organ that spits np on the platform of the State Convention of its party, is highly gjratified with the speeches of both gentlemen. Mr. Corwin made his speech. . chiefly on the Ur.'f U appears to have waked up from a Rip Van Wiukle sort of sleep, and is endeavoring to rally the "opposition," (the name the Republicans sail under in Scioto) in favor of the Old Whig tariff policy. He hopes to catch tbe iron man of that region with such chaff. Now this is a gross fraud, as the Republican platform and all the managing men of the party are opposed to a protective tariff. Mr. Dennison was induced to come out and take ground on the fugitive act in accordance with the popular opinion prevailing in the ranks et the 'op position" in that quarter. He remarks on that subject are such as he would not dare to utter an Northern Ohio. The Tribune says his remarks .. upon this law "were such as to dispel all prejudice that may have been entertained against him as a 'higher-law' advocate. Ha declabed - himself ix FAYOa .

Therb was : SO KASTIXO FANATICISM A.VD HIGHER-LAW KIQ- gerism is his speech, and if any were expecting to hear anything of that kind they were disap. pointed" Such is the statement of the Tribune in relation to the remarks of Mr. Dennison. He was induced by the tone of public sentiment in that quarter to take ground such as he has not heretofore advanced in any of bis speeches, and ' such as he would not advance in northern Ohio. The Committee have studously avoided making any appointments for him in northern Ohio. For that region they detail such "higher-Jaw men as Chase, Spaalding, D. K. Carter and men of that stamp, all of whom make higher law speeches. Dennison will not 6how his head on the Reserve, except at one debate at Cleveland,' which he could not get rid of, and on that occasion be will take good care to avoid any such sentiments as those hs uttered at Portsmouth. How different his competitor. Judge Ranney ia now on the stump in Southern Ohio, and before the election is over he will meet the people in Reserve counties also. He has but one set ef opinions for the whole state. We are carious to know what the "Christian Anti-Slavery Convention" men will thick and say of Dennisoa's remarks at Portsmouth. How will the "Saints," to whom he wrote tbe sympathising letter at Cleveland, regard them? What will- Giddiogv, Spalding,' Carter, Peck, Plumb, and tbe whole host of .political preachers say? What does our neighbor of tbe Journal think? It is quite certain that Corwin and Dennison were both off the Platform is Scioto,"and it is strange they did hot muzzle the editor of the Tribune. It is a remarkable fact that while Mr. Dennison made such remarks at Portsmouth, on Saturday, in his speech at Ironton, on the day previous, he did not mention the fugitive act. The Cincinnati Gazette, of yesterday, contains an accurate report of his Ironton sueech, and a reference to it will show that Mr. Dennijon said nothing on that subject at that place. Ilis views, as given at Portsmouth, but a few miles distant, were not, of course, intended to be published, but McFarland, of the Tribune, i so hostile t6 Giddings and the Republican creed; that he could not forego the temptation.

Fanatics North and South. The doctrine of the so-called Republican par tv, of Congressional legislation for tbe territories, is now almost identical with that of thefire-eaters of the South. The difference consists in the fact that one is in favor of prohibiting slavery in the territories hi!e the other is in favor of protecting it by the enactment of a slave code. They are both tor Congressional interference,;, both dispute the Democratic doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, both deny that the people should govern themselves. It is the doctrine of the Democratic party, and the true policy of the Government to leave air matters rightfully belonging to the territories to the people who settle them. The people of the states regulate their own affairs and the Democracy claim that the people of territories are no less qualified to regulate their own matters in their own way, so long as proper regard is had for the Constitution of the United States.

The Republican papers are in the habit of using such epithets aa Slavs Catchers, Slave Hounds, and other odious language towards such persons as are executing the duties of principal or. deputy marshals in the free States, and by virtue of their offices are frequeoly called on to capture fugive slaves. At Ironton Tom Corwin had the subject ander his consideration, and in his remarks published in the Cincinnati Gazctie, be spoke as follows: "If the Marshal is resisted, what is resisted? Not the man hunting his ne-f, ro, but the type and symbol of the power of the government of the United States. The very authority given by the Constitution under which yoa and I, and all of ns who lire and bold our rights, authorizes the Marshal to do this. And when we see that authority contended, when we see treason committed ior it is treason to oppose tbe authority of the United Sutes, -I say when the Marshal is sesisted by force, every man is bound to see that the law is not resisted."
