From the interest manifested by the Western members in Congress in favor of such a law, we have not the least doubt but what it will be done, and a "highway east up for the deliverance of God's people." But we have little hopes of its being soon enough to benefit our company. We would advise the saints in the east after our departure to rally to the standard-raise another company, and stand ready to embrace the first facilities that may be afforded by Government. Let the elders in Israel not forsake the watch-tower-not ceasing to call on the name of the Lord day and night, and they will be delivered.-N. Y. Messenger.
