The Texas Republican. [volume] (Marshall, Tex.) 1849-1869, 1854-10-21

on my way home, in passing through VII
age in the State Of Louisiana, my attention
was singularly attracted by reason OF the
unusual commotion which seemed to per,
wade this rural settlement On inquiry J.,
however, asceftsiued that Il had bean gen
orally understood. from previors ans
nouncenent circulated among the citizens
Of the little town and parish. that preach
or from the territory Of Utah would hold
forth to the ediIicaiion Of the people. In
deed, this solomon of the nineteenth Gems
tu:y, from the extreme animation aud con-
! fusion he occasoned, seemed to be the lion
of the day
The gentlemen, both young and Old,
appeared delighted in the anticipation OF
his doctrine OF many wives, aud argued It's
pfoprietY with a strength Of devotion worthy
of better cause. Apart from seriptural
authority. they advanced logical reasoning
in relation TO the benign AMI ameliorat.ng
influences resulting from ladies society,
aud plausihly stated that If one wife im>
proved eensenan's morals, bakers
dozen, from a parity of reasoning, would
very soon make him an angel. The ladies'
bitterly opposed this system of reasoning.
and unheslialingly pronounced II spurious
and ialiae'ous, and, with some degree OF
warmth, rebuked the former tor their sell
fshness; and, ! thlnk, tbey had al least

shadows OF the dropping branches OF the
trees. IL was rather amusing to see few
old men, crippled WIN rheumatic pans,

You might have seen them Strengthening up,
scran,blng, and trying to wall; last and
appear young. Dressed IN their best appa,

under tie greatest possible excitement and
expectation, doubtless Imagining they saw
the radiance of the hopeful stars OF ma'ri'
mony beaming from the eyes oil the Utah
man. One and all were on 'p'oe 10 see
aud hear the man OF mshy wives. and long
before eleven O'Clock, A. NJ, the house WAS
crowded with spectators, eager TO have an
explanation OF tue good old times OF Abra-
ham, Jacob aud David, aud how they might
be practically revived IN Louisiana.
At length their anxiety was terminated
