MORMAN LADIES ON POLYGAMY.

On March 17 the Merman ladies of Ogden held a
meeting in the taliernacle of that city to denounce Kr.
tullom and his bill, and to protest against all and every
interference with the holy institution of polygamy.
Acoarding to the Odyen Acadia's.. they gave espreuion
to their views with a power of oratory whieh, if they
felt inclined, might tempt some of them to take the
stump and increase the number of women lecturera
Mts. Cherilla Browning thought that as Mr. Cullom
was "a Kentucky corn-cracker, he had cracked corn
till he had become cracked himself." or he would have
nothing to do with such • bill. Miss G. C. Bingham,
who we are told, is only fourteen years of ago, said
she was sorry Congress was engaged in framing measures
for the deittuction of the Latter Day Saints. Elbe
could not look on with silent indifferent*. The mission
of the Saints is to reform abuses which have corrupted
the world for ages, and to establish peace and righteous-
ness. Mrs. Martha Et Brown, said :—" In my child.
hood I was robbed of a dear father and brother who fell
martyrs to the truth in the tragedies of Nauvoo. My
aged mother is now helpless, Iliad suffering through the
exposures and rentless persecutions to which we have
been subjected ; and now I would rather die than brie,:
myself down to the level of those who talk of freeing
the women of Utah." Bit resolutions were afterwards
unanimously adopted. The first earnestly protested
on the part of the ladies of Utah, against the peasage
of the Cullom Bill. The sewed expressed indignation
at the unjust and unlawful designs of corrupt
demagogues, eager to found their own greatness on the
ruin of thousaodi of theit fellow-citisens. The third
, denouneed the Cullom Bill as a deadly instrument
aimed at the very root of the tree of liberty. The
' fourth appealed to every honest mind and heart to use
their tulluenee to stay such tuessuree are it be too late.
I The fifth pledged tile women of Utah, should the ladl
pass, to prefer • prison house with their fathers,
brothers, husbands, end sons, to the gilded homes of
misery and vice which the world would fain offer them.
The mixth declared that they accepted polygamy, with
all its trials, as a blessing bestowed upon them for their
present and eternal salvation, and the salvation of
future generations ; and then went on to express their
pride in it when compared with the state of society itx
the world, and their wish to uphold it by deed as well
as word, and their determination to teach their children
to cherish bud obey its righteous principles.

too, is very late, and also much damaged, which is tote
regretted, seeing that this crop generally affords such
valuable provender for stock. Swede turnips have also
suffered severely from the effect of alternate (roil arid
