THE MORMON WAR-A resolution is before
the Tennessee Legislature, pledging the CO.
operation of the State with the Executive of
the United States in suppressing the civil
war existing in the Territory of Utah. There
will be no lack of aid to the Government in
such contest Public sentiment is so strong
against Mormon practices and Mormon as
su npton and insolent defiances OF the Gov
ernment that it will not take long to raise
force sufficient to wipe the saints out oil exis-
tence, if the contest ever comes to blows
But Brigham Young, with all its bravado,
docs not desire hosti'ities. IL by burning
baggage trains and making show OF fight
against small force he can stop the nearer
approach of the United States troops till
spring it is probable that by that time, the
whole Mormon population will be off, bag and
baggage, to some other country less likely to
be invaded by the rowing and restless adven-
turers Of this country. No community like
that Of the Mormons can exist in any civilized
community. 1t has only grown up to its mon
strous proportions by the indifference and con-
tempt with which in its beastliness it has been
hitherto regarded. Its progress is --inimical
to virtue and its pretentons dangerous and
insulting to liberty. Its powers must be
broken and its pernicious principles be iadl-
Gated entirely from the hold it has had social
" upon so large class of its deluded follow
ers.--Pubiic Ledger.
