ASTORIA, OREGON:
SATURDAY 3LVKCH 17, 18S3
A National Blot.
Fnoii the Pioclie, 23cv., Record
we learn that increasing numbers
of Mormons threaten to place Lin
coln count3r and southern Nevada
under polygamic control. Eight
years ago, we saw in a Lincoln
county school house, the money
for whose support came from
Nevada taxpayers, a laurel -wreathed
portrait of Brigham
Young hung above the teacher's
desk. In Idaho also the "saints'
are becoming so strong as to prac
tically dictate just what shall and
shall not be. This is a national
disgrace. It is subservive of the
first principles of our republican
form of government. A quarter of
a century ago a great political party
denounced slavery and polygamy
as twin relics of barbarism. Sla
very has ceased to exist, but polyg
amy still flourishes, and has the au
dacity to demand, through its del
egate to congress, a share in mak
ing the laws which it breaks and
defies.
No other civilized country tol
erates or would tolerate this con
spiracy to disregard both decency
and law. The forms of self-government
are not an excuse. The
right to enjoy certain franchises
and exercise certain powers of self
government lias been conferred
upon inhabitants of Utah, it is
true, but only on ihe condition
which attaches to every grant of
power by a civilized government,
namely, that it shall not be ued
in hostility to the sovereign au
thority. The United States doi;
not confer, and cannot confer, up
on any body of men under the
sun, power to multiply its laws.
If any franchise granted is used
for that purpose, it ceases to exist
of right, and the sole question for
the United States is, how shall its
authority be maintained?
Utah had already defied the
United States government more
than twenty years ago. Sinee that
time there have been repeated pro
fessions of readiness to submit to
the authority of the United States,
and yet the laws have never in
fact been obeyed. The whole
power of territorial ielf-govern-ment
has been employed, not onby
to set the United Suites at defi
ance, but to prevent trial and con
viction of those who break its
laws. The country has been talk
ing about this for twenty years,
but talk is clican. The nation
ought In' this time to know that
the Latter Day Saints make no
scruples about pretending or prom
ising anything that may suit im
mediate needs. If public opinion
rises, the Mormon conspiracy will
pretend to yield, will possibly go
through the form of abolishing po
lygamy, and will do what it can to
break the force, of the attack. But
the institution will nevertheless re
main precisely the same in fact, if
not in form; the law will be sys
tematically and deliberately defied
in the name of a church; secret ob
ligations will still bind men and
women to defeat the courts and
to prevent the enforcement of the
laws; and the organized rebellion
against the United States will con
tinue to claim the powers and im
munities of a sclf-ffoverninjr terri
tory. All this it is safe to count
upon, because the past history of
this insurrection is such that no
other course can with reason be
expected.
There is in Utah a rebellion
against laws Divine and human,
a conspiracy against civilization
and decency, a chronic insurrec
tion against the authority of the
United States carried oh through
the forms of a territorial govern
ment created and maintained b'
the United States. All sorts of
half measures have been fried, and
have ignominiously failed. It is a
disgrace to this practical and
powerful Nation that it has so long
been alternatelv tricked and brow
beaten, duped and defied, by a set
of creatures who possesses neither
extraordinary ability nor the spirit
of devotion which an honest
fanaticism produces. Mormonism
is a cheap and vulgar swindle.
Its victims are robbed unscrupu
lously and mercilessly by a set of
tricksters who are inferior in shrewd
ness to the ordinarysharpers of our
cities. A large portion of those
who live in subjection Jo tl!e so-
called church, because thev do not
dare to oppose it openly, have
nevertheless had their eyes
opened, realize that they are the
victims of a mean and shallow
cheat, and long for the United
States to enfranchise them by
suppressing the conspiracy that
rules the territory. The leaders
themselves are not fanatics. They
are, practical persons who have
robbed the United States out of
millions of acres of good land, and
plundered their victims for many
years, and who have nicely feath
ered their nests. Men of that
stamp have none of the self-devotion
of fanatics. They are siuiply
conspirators to resist and de!y
United States law and to fleece the
victims of superstition who come
in their power.
The government has no occa
sion to consider the so-called re
ligious aspect of the case. For it
can deal with the violation of law.
entirely regardless of any professed
motives or beliefs. The persons
who rule the so-called church, and
who control the territory, are living
in daily violation and defiance of
law, and the fact is not the
less well known and certain
because their conspiracy hinders
proof of it in such courts as
they have in the torrilory.
The duty of the Nation is, not to
palter and negotiate with this in
surrection, but to pull it up by the
roots. Polygamy will come up
with it, and the Mormon super
stition, and the control of vast
tracts of land fraudulently taken
from the government, and 111:1113'
other things. But the resistance
of law must be not merely checked
or punished, but exterminated.
The territory of Utah has no
proper legal existence, because its
functions and franchises have
been seized by men who use them
in hostility to the constitution
and laws of the United States.
The insurrection can only be ex
terminated by sweeping away the
organic law creating a self-governing
territory a law which con
gress enacted and can at any time
repeal. There will then remain a
portion of the domain of the United
States for which congress can
provide a military or any other
government, and. dwelling upon
that territory, certain citizens and
subjects of the United States.
Of these, the law-abiding are en
titled to full protection. The law
defying deserve punishment, and
have no right to anything else.
