. MR.. KERR IN THE EAST.

We learn, from undoubted authority, that in the
late Wing Convention in Wilmington, Resolution
was offered in the Committee appointed to report
Resolutions, endorsing the nomination of Mr.. Kerr
and committing the Convention to his support; and
that this Resolution was voted down. The Committee
consisted of one from each County in the District.
A similar Resolution offered in open Convention
and was allowed to pass, those who were opposed to
itnot wishing ure their party prospects by taking
stand against it publicly. ... s... --
The Wilmington papers are silent in relation to
these movements.
We learn, further, that there are many Wings in
New Hanover, Brunswick, and other Eastern Coun-
ties that might be mentioned, who will not, under
any circumstances, support Mr.. Kerr. They will
not support him. because they regard his position and
views in relation to the basis and free Convention.
We know of stronger that could be offered /;
and this view of the matter will make itself felt in
the election. ...- r
Will the Wilmington Herald or Commercial come
forward with full statement of the facts here allud-
ed to! .. . .-..
Throughout the length and breadth of the State,
let it be proclaimed-that John Kerr is willing to
trust the people and David S. Reid is not willing to

The MoRMoN WIFE SYSTEM. We take the fol-
lowing from letter to the ST. Louis Intelligencer
from 'Salt Lake City, said to be from reliable
source: -...'-- -'... 30. s.'.
ssIn relation to the wife SYSTEM will begin with
Brigham. He, as have before stated, has about
ffty-among them two sisters, Heber &. Kemb'e
and W lillian Richards also have harems of wo,een,
from ten to thirty. In fact, all the leading men in
the Mormon Church have from two to zen. There
are several instances here where men have married
widows, who have daughters, and now have the
mother and daughter both as wives. Heber G. Kem-
BILE has the mother and daughter; A. M. Tarpin has
a mother and daughter; G.. E. Bolton has mother and
daughter; also John Taylor. 10 fact, all the head
men have more or Iess-it is more unusual to see d
family with but wife, than to one with from
two ten. Yet their preachers, over the country,
deny it in the most positive terms. To look at Nor
monsm it is in this vally, one would think that if
there any system in the wide world that has been
gotten up and propagated by the devil is that OF the
people called Latter Day Saints"
