THE MoRMoNs AND RELIGIOUS ToLERATION.
1t Is evident, by the recent news from Utah.
that the time is not far distant when the
power OF the Federal Government in IN
holding organic law in Utah will be put to the
seVerest test. Brigham Young has virtually
ignored the authority Of the United States. and
established dictatorship and despotism. PRO.
perry is taken and human life destroyed-court
records are burned, and travellers cast into
prison, although guilty of no crme-United
states othcIais are treated with contempt, while
the laws and authority of the government are
openly defed. All of this is done in the name
OF religion. The Saints of the Salt Lake Val.
ley consider that they are not bound TO obev
the heather" government of the United
States, and they presume upon their distance
from the seat OF government and upon their
isolated position, to defy its authority.
The Mormon delusion, with all its wicked
ness and enormity, has been suffered ill now
without interference from government. But il
is evident that the present state of things can
not continue. The government must interfere.
or rather 1t must assert and maintain It's autho-
rIty' or become reprOach among nations.
1t is clearly the duty of the administration to
exercise its authority firmly, decidedly, and
with an adequate force, if need be, to suppress
all resistance, and to keep down all rebellion.
Fhere can be no excuse for naction on the part
OF government after the revelation made bv |
Judge Drummond, of the high-hauded crimes
committed by the leading MOrmons. We be.
lleVe that the administration will receive the
support ofevery true lover of civil and religious
liberty in the exercise Of prompt and judicious
efforts for asserting the supremacy of law in
he territory of Utah.

Male GossipS.

The world, especially the masculine mart of
IT, has always had great deal to say about fe-
male gossips, and one would almost conclude
that no other species existed. Now it is doubt
less true. as the Boston Journal saws. that the
female portion Of the commanity are generally
good takers, and not indisposed to a prettv
large liberty In the use of the unruly member.
There are, indeed, very many honorable excep-
tlons-women of lovely spirit. upon whose
tongue ever dwells the law of kindness-whose
gentle and generous speech is soft mantle of
charlty--whom natural refinement and super
added culture of mind and heart have raised
tar above this weakness of their sex. What
more beautiful than these minstering angels
Their very presence rebukes all unkindness.
But 1t is by no means true that no gossips
exist outside of hoops and crinoline. Be it
known to whomsoeVer it may concern, that
there are male gossips. They are not confined
to any particular locality, but are generally
found in the greatest numbers and perfection
lri small country townsville chief theatre OF
their operations being the tavern or store.-
Here they nightly congregate, especially in
cool weather, and such using-up of their neigh
bors-the ladies are nothing to them Before
this self-consttuted tribunal or petty court, in
which every man is lawyer, Judge and jury, all
combined In one, every person, every event,
and many things that never happened in the
neIghborhood, pass in review. No one too high
or too low, nothing too sacred or profane to be
discussed. The doings, even the sacred privacy
OF every family. of every, church, minister.
editor, schOol-master, school-ma'am newsna ner-
contributor, town-commissioner, school-commit.
tee, are the theme of free and exaggerated talk.
Now we believe in a large freedom of speech,
but not at all in that unlicensed, meddlesome
spirit which catches and makes the theme of
scandal whatever is calculated to dsparage or
harm neighbours reputation; which breeds
strife and Ill-will among families which kim
dies fires that wOeld go out or have no exist
ehce but for It's lmpertInent interference. And
how much precious time is thus wasted-what
an evil influence is exerted upon the young
who sit by and listen, or learn to take part in
the vulgar or proane discourse. The young,
who' at home, where they should be, might
store their minds with useful knowledge, are
here schooed in the most Improbable learning.
They learn too much of many things Of which
they should be ignorant they became bold
meddiesome, Profane. Truly this male gos-
slplng is an evil and a nuisance.
