in yar city to give lectures on Mormonism
next ;sek or the week following. I will

me. woinau, for I havo done nothing that
I regret, except joiiiiug tho society of Mor

not find or bring anything against my moral
character. I am ready o nieet them, or
any other Mormons, at tl) Vail. They say
I was lerrnllv marred to Britham Young.
I was, iu their way, but will this government
tolerate, that f Will it give me up and let

Since I lmve seam enough, and I kuow the
society to be .corrupt, and governed by bad
men for bad motives. I shall tell every
thing just as it is. I shall not stop for the
feelings of those who may be present no,
not fur Mr. Young himself, but shall tell
the whole truth, and unfold all the mysteries
connected with tho institution.
I am well aware what the conseoueDces
would be, providing that they had me in

The Mornioti editor of the D-seretNows
thui tell tho good people of Christendom
how strangers can beconio ingtatiatod:
"If R gentleman wishes to Associate with
our female let him repent und bo babtized
for the reniision of sins. But tin alone will
not insuro his success, for iiiany have sub
initt'd thcmselvva to tho ordinance of bap
tism and have, ndded damnutiou to them
selves by hypocriticully bowing to certain
rites und ceremonies with motives other
than to glorify (Iod and sava themselves
from this untoward generation. Let these
go forth and preach the gospel to the nation?.
like Muriuon LWors. without "tui--o or

Thi opens a field for enterprising young
men, not to ha found in every pari of tho

such demoiii-tiation of love und purity, it is
no wonder that polygamy is a part of their
religion, for their 'true lovers" must of ne
cessiiy be scarce. N. 0. Delhi.

"Shall we ever cease to record the scenes of

We cunnot believo that the Eaglo expecU
thu present adininif.trittiou to tuko nny ef
fectual mean of depriving nny individual,
not even a poor "untutored iiiditm" of any
of those jirnonal rujhts he inherited from

from Lin (iod, the great Spirit. Y hy an

bealinei hi mjua"', lieu ho w licensed by
the example of similar occurrence among
w,iiy brethreli, wo are unable to opine,
unless it bc that the complexion of his skin
makes this a "gtey horsr of another color."
The Eaglo may plead as u precedent, the re
cent action of the executive in pushing
tnrough the Nebraska bill, which according
to the showing of I loustou, and other prom
inent democrats, w:i ft violation of solemn
treaty stipulation, formerly mado with the
Indians of that Territory, securing to them

ownership of the Innd to which Jackson had
removed them. But tho kaglo must recol
lect that there is a slight icrrfwre between
land und whisky, the one being a matter
that pertains to the material, nud the other,
lo tho spiritual wsnts of men.
Besides how much tnoro in harmony
with the doctrine of "individual riyhls,"
"progress, in spoils nnd plunder," nnd an
exhibition of uatiotiul prowess, it would lie
to send au army iu'.o the fi.dd with a tremen
dous lung train of "attaches," "assistants,"
"so rvu'ii!," liesidcs a host of other govern
inetit favorites, and loafers, in tho way of
pensioned sinecures ; at a cost of only somo
six or eight hundred thousand dollars to tho
government ; than it would bo to try to get
at the cause of these outbreaks, by rigidly
euforciug a prvhihilmy liquor hw among
the indiiiii.
We can too no reason why the natural
private rights of the poor Hiirush should be
invaded whiU our own are held so sacred,
and necessary to our very happiness, and so
cial prosperity.
Besides removing tho cause of outbreaks
among Indians, nnd of lawless violence
among whites, would probably be tho means
of tho retention in the treasury of several
million dollars per annum, which we want
in circulation theso distressing hard tunes.

Tho year 185 1 will be marked in the

When to this we udd the loss of life and

sum upahistmy of horror which no year

Russian on ono knee iu the act of taking

a forked stick. He was dead ; tho side of
his head had been knocked oil by a catinou
shot. His death was so sudden and quick
that he was not knocked down i and the
remaining part of his face still looked sternly
along the lireluek. H was an astonishing
sight evejiy one that could, came to look at
him."
