MoRMoNIsN.-The general impression
seems to prevail that there will vet be diff
iculty in Utah with those wonderful and
strange fanatics, the Mormons. Law must
take its course, though the heavens should
fall, and q successor to Brigham Young
will have to be named. We trust the ad-
ministration has the. backbone" Ito use
an expression Of Senator Sumner's) to SEQ
that its dignity and authority are fully sus-
tanned; so that when an appointment is
once made, all proper measures may be ta-
ken to prevent any infraction of law or any
mob attempt to set at defiance the supreme
authority Of the Government. Young,
who seems to be half madman and half
statesman, says he will not cease to exer-
else the gubernatorial functions over Utah
until the Lord commands Brigham to lay
down the sceptre. This is equivalent to q
threat, and will no doubt have its weight
at Washington
y We published o week Oh more ago ac-
counts of the arrival at Great Salt Lake
City of Colonel Steptoe with considerable
force Of U. S. Infantry. 1t has since been
announced that this force is to remain at
the headquarters Of Joe-smith-sm during
the coming winter This is significant, and
seems to imply determination on the part
OF Pierce to make show of authority at
least. 1t is earnestly 10 be hoped that cir
cumstances will not require regiments as
well as cOrporals' guards there.
While on this matter we copy a para
graph Of an article we have seen in sever
al exchanges, from the Charleston rs. C.)
Mercury.
Mormonish is theocracy, and involves
not only a social gradation in iniquity, but
an anti-republican alliance between Church
and State. No country can be free in
which polygamy prevails. Utah can de-
mand admission into the Union by no claim
Of reason or right. The people will repel
its embrace with universal aud unconuuer-
able aversion.
There can be no fellowship between Nor
mon and Christian. They cannot exist
under the same social system-they cannot
be partners in political power. Freedom
Of conscience Is one exemption from
the restraints of deeeney and morality quite
another. The constitution guarantees re-
lgious liberty, but gives no license to the
excesses Of concupiscence.
This is all truth well expressed, but we
must say it comes with an excessively bad
grace from paper which has proclaimed
to the whole world that slavery is neither
an evil nor sin. Such language was en-
ployed by that sheet some weeks since
Polygamy is social evil and sin of aw-
fnl enormity, but certainly not whit worse
than slavery. What can. you say Of po-
lygamy that you cannot say Of slavery
what can you charge against Utah that
you cannot charge against South Carolina,
or Georgia, or almost any Of the Southern
States.
