Three Cheers for Buchanan, slavery and
POlygamy.

EOAIBhMgs
A GOOD TIME COMING IN UTAH.
We have just received the following prOcla-
nation issued by the Saints of Great Salt
Lake to the Faithful. 1t promises them a
good time coming, "when seven womenshall
Law hold of one man," if Buchanan is cleo
ted = Cleveland Herald.
TO THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
THE ELDERS AND RULERS OF THE CHURCH OF
JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS TO
THE SAINTS IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA:
Dear Brethren, Faithful Followers of the
Lord and Recipients of his Grace:
We call upon you to stand firm to the
principles of our religion in the coming con-
test for President of the country. Our du-
ty is plain. There are two principal par
ties in the country-one is for US the 9TH
er against Us.
The democratic convention in Cincinnati,
which nominated James Buchanan for Pres
ident. passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution to interfere with OF
control the domestic institutions in the sew
eral States, and that all such States arc the
sole and proper judges of everything apper-
tanning TO their own affairs not prohibited by
the Constitution"
This is a principle of the democratic par
tv, which is extended to territories as well as
states, and the doctrine Of Squatter Sove-
rigntv applies to us in the Desert as we'll as
to the settlers in Kansas and Nebraska.
The democratic party is the instrument
in Gods hand, by which is to be effected
our recognition as a sovereign state, with
the domestic institutions of slavery and po
llvgamy, as established By the patriarchs and
prophets of old, under divine authority, and
renewed to thesaints of latter-days, through
Gods chosen rulers and prophets.
In the Republican Convention assem-
bled at Philadelphia, which nominated Johr
c. Fremont for President it was
7 nResolved, That the Constitution confer'
npon Congress sovereign power over th'
United States for their government, and tha
in the exercise of their power, is both thc
right and imperative duty of Congress t.
prohibit in the territories those twin relict
of barbarism, polygamy and slavery"
This is blow aimed directly at our right
as citizens of one of the territories, at on
sacred institution and our religion.
Saints of the latter days, to whom Coz
reveals his will through his chosen prophets
stand steadfast in your faith; for the time
at hand which was fortold by the prophe
of old, ard recorded in the Ancient Scrip
lures: "And in that day shall seven wome
lay hold of one man, and they will say, 4e
us eat of our own bread and wear our ow
apparel: only let US be called by thy name
to take away our reproach.'"
Given by order of the President and Ri
lers, at Great Salt Lake, on the Fourteent
day of August.

abled this morning to assure our readers that

Tho Government orfIcial SCOTS.

The following blasphemous ebullition
is from ]. w. Gray, the postmaster of Cleve-
land, and editor of the PlaindeGler, which
we take the from his paper of the 14th:
Providence AND PoLnIcs.-The church
from the days of the Crusaders has taught
the doctrine of special Providence. 1t is
in its rituals, songs and sermons, and Is an
essential part of its creed. Upon this be-
lief is founded the duty of prayer.
In the late campaign this dogma has been
put to the severest test.
Priests, praying men and praying women
have presented the bloody issue of "bleed-
ing Kansas" upon their knees, and after
posting God in regard to the doings of the
Border Rufians and the wickedness of the
Democratic party, called on Him as the un-
erring Judge of all hearts, and the omnipo-
tent dispenser of human events, to put
down the powers that be and go for "Fre-
mont and Freedom"
The thirty-fve hundred clergymen who
attempted to arrest the legislation of this
country bv threatening Senators with the
wrath of the Almighty, THEFT imitators and
svmpathizers throughout the land, the forty
thousand deacons and five hundred thous-
and feeble minded men and sicklv women,
who, trembling under the lash of these die
tatorial priests; all joined in one general
supplication to pat dO1On the Democratic
party. Every fact, every argument, every
consideration that could be brought to beal
upon an All-wise and Omnipotent Being
was piously presented, and aid devoutly
asked. Here was a case that called for thu
especial interposition of Divine Power, th'
strongest case ever presented by morta
man.
"THe Jloodiest picture in the book Q
time" and yet what is the sequel. Tn
people of the United States, itsee "wer
left to regulate their domestic institution
| in their own way, subject only to the Con
stitution." The principles of the Nebrask
Bill were not only endorsed by the peopl
but by the Almighty, if there is any trut
in the dogma of Especial Providence" ,
Either Beecher and his satellites were mi;
taken in their facts, or else deceived as
the character of the Almighty in interferin
in such matters.
Our faith in Him who rules the destln
of Nations remains unchanged. "Let Go
be true and every man liar" Vor pol

1t has been alleged that Fremont was
rendered the honor of nomination by
the Democracy. This has also been de-
MED. Speaker Banks at the late meeting
at Frceport, Illinois, referring to this mat
ter, said :-"Why do they speak Of Fremont
as light metal" Because he repelled their
Pro-slavery overtures. A vOice-'Thats

on these ears. Loud cheers. A promin-
ent Southern man in my presence, asked

PhiIadelnhia Nov. l,

A notice was posted on the door of the
Lancaster Bank, this morning, stating that
in consequence of the run upon the Bank,
and the refusal of the Philadelphia Banks
to receive their notes, the officers found 1t
impossible to meet their liabilities, and were
compelled to close the Bank. They also
state that their assets are sufficient to meet
their circulation and deposits. This suspen-
sion occasioned general surprise here, as the
ability of the Bank to meet all its liabili-
ties was generally conceded yesterday.

To the hall OF the feast come the sinful ana mir.
She heard in the city that Jesus was there.
UnheediRg the splendor that blszed on the board,
She silently knelf at the feet Of the Lord
The hair on her forehead so sad and so meek
Hung dark DER the bushes that burned in her
cheek,
And so weak and so lowly she knelt In her shame
IL seemed that her spiit had fed from her frame.
The frown and the murmur went round through
That one so unhallowed should tread in that hall;
And some said the poor would be objects more
For the wealth of the perfume she poured on his
feet.
She heard but her Saviour, she spoke but In siRhs
And she dared not look up to the heaven of his
eyes;
And the hst tears gushed forth with each heave
Of her breast,
While her lips to his sandals were throbbingly
pressed.
In the sky, after tempest, as shineth the bow
In the glance Of the sunbeam as 1t melteth the
snow,
He looked on the lest one her sins are forgiven
And Mary went forth In the beauty Of Heaven.
