W0Imme I,
Mormonsim.

What is to be the result of this delusion?
If we rely upon the news from Utah, this ia
tai ism is making rapid strides, and even now
presents a gigantic form. We learn by recent
intelligence from this Western Sodom that
four hundred missionaries have been com
missioned to 60 forth and preach the delusive
schemes of Joe Smith, and by false represen-
tations of their " land flowing with milk and
honey" induce many among the ignorant
and vicious classes of society to seek that ia
tai country. Thousands of immigrants are
focking thither to swell the number and pro-
pagate the infamy of a system blasphemous-
ly designated religion.
How little is said of this mass of pollution
in the Statesl The great mass of the people
Seem to take but little interest or thought in
the consequences of this system. Can moth
ing be done to arrest the progress of this fes-
tering corruption? Cannot the efforts of its
infamous missionaries be countefacted p
Shall Utah quietly be reprcsentedas another
Bethesda and the lame, the bah, the deaf,
the blind be enticed thither deIuded with the
false. hope of sudden and miraculous cure ?
Shall the monster Brigham Young, and his
vile associates. still find fuel for their base and
unbridled passions in the young, the confd-
ing and the innocent? The fate of those al
ready riveted in the CALLING letters Of polyga-
/ my is sad enough, without binding others in
the same terrible chains. Can nothing lie
t done to warn the free, and resist the efforts
of the lying missionaries Of the Mormon
. Priest?
Soon Utah will be knocking at the golden
f gates of this Republic asking admission into
a the glorious confederacy of its sovereign sis
h tiers. We know that this is a grave question
a. in which momentous matters Of political
economy and republican rights are involved;
ge but can Congress seriously entertain an idea
ID of so vicious an association? Can American
d power be prostituted to sustain an American
ut banner brought to overshadow a system at
= war with morality and the Bible? This is a
p, question that soon will be presented to this
nation to answer. We hope that every de

Liberia thoroughly explored and about raising the
sum of $4,000 to effect this purpose. The present
commerce of Liberia is estimated at from $l,2O0OO0
to sl,500,O00. This will soon be increased by the
establishment of regular lines of packets and possibly
by mail steamers from this country. The opening of
extensive back country to Liberia, with good roads
and secured trading posts, would mmeasurably en-
nance the prosperity of that republic and would pro-

MURDER OF AN OvERsEER BY SLAvEs.--We learn
that on Sunday last Mr.. Brstow, overseer on the
plantation of W. Fl. Harris was murdered by one Or
more of the slaves of whom he had the management
We have not learned the full particulars of the kill
ing, but learn that the negroes supposed to be mpli
Gated have been arrested and committed to the Jail
of Carroll parish. Mr. Harris plantation lies partly
in Madison parish, though we believe his property is
assessed to Carroll and consequently the matter will
come before her courts.
