THE MORMON CHURcH,-One Of the
British quarierlies shows the ruitenness
of Mormonism TO purpose. The general
conclusions are thus appropriately abrid~
'ged by the Ohio Statesman as foliows:--
II Uiah be admitted as other States have
been, she will in time be peoped by in-
lelligeDl Americans, and one generation
will see The last of Mormonism. There
are already elements of decay at wor TO
which. in conclusion, we call attention
l. When the necessity for increasing
The population of Utah posses away. the
zeal for proselytism must burn less warm
ly. 2. The sgglomera,ion of the sect
upon a single spot, which, up TO cer-
tain polni,a in Missouri and Illinois, gives
strength and cenuallzation, contains also
an element of weakness. 8. The iheo>
cratic mode of government cannot obtain
in this country permanently. The Leg,
islature will in time slide from under The
influence OF the leaders, and the demo-
cratic element enter d. On the death
Of every president or chief prophet, There
will be,as there was when Joe Smith was
killed, a difficulty in choosing success
sor, which may break the sect into frag-
menis mutually destructive. 5. Already
the new generation begins to laugh al
and scout the 'revelations.' The marvels
of Joe will be mare jokes in another gen
Grafton. 6. The religion failing, poIy-
gamy will fail; and in time this singular
people will! become homogeneous with
the rest of the Union. They have the
elements Of industry, thrift, aud ingenu-
iiY.
