WOMAN.

Woman is indeed bright and beau
tiful creature. Where she is, there is
paradise; where, she is not, there is a
desert. Her smiles inspire love, and
raise human nature nearer the immortal
source of its being. Her sweet and ten
der heart giyes life and soul to dead and
senselcss things. She is the ladder by
which we climb from earth to heagen.--
She is the practical teacher of mankind,
and the world would be void without
her. Man is a wreck wanting her-mis-
cradle and unhappy y-his daily existence
walking shadow OF humanity. Man
would be hard and unpublished granite
but for woman. In her what a warm
and loving heart, in which springs such
well of affection that no age can freeze!
She is more celestial than terrestrial
being-charming and amiable as girl,
dutiful as wife, and loving as moth
er. She is the balsam. of mans life
his faithful counsellor and pillow. She
can impart all the pleasures of friend
ship, all the sense of fenjoyment of sense
and reason, and all the sweets of life
She is the comforter and supporter of
man under his cares or misfortunes,
and the bitter blasts Of adTcrsity.-

energies towards rearing aud fostering q
monstrOus foreign banuing, the hideous
offspring Of diseased fanaticismf Such
seems to be the view entertained Of this
matter by the Black Republicans They
make no State issues--they canvass no
local questions, they, in effect, utterly re-
pudiate all local interests, and direct their
entire influence to the furtheranco Of ex-
tra-territorial distractions. Instead OF
resolving to discharge the State debt and
preserve the State credit, they denOunce
the Supreme Court of the United States
and Tepudi0te its decisions; and instead
of resolving to rear and maintain high
standard for honesty and fair dealing on
the part of the State, they illuminate IT,
radcs Of senseless generalities against the
National Administration for it course in

Coon MovE.-In another column we
publish the proceedings Of a preliminary
meeting held in Carson Valley on the Sd
inst, at which q resolution was adopted
calling "a grand mass meeting Of the citi-
zens Of the valleys on the 9Th, for the
purpose Of taking the necessary steps to
petition Congress to organize new Ter
ritory out of Utah, California and New
Mexico" We look with no little interest
to the action Of the meeting. The valleys
are rapidly filling up with and being i'm
proved by persons opposed to the Nor
mon fanaticism, and so long as Utah
claims, though she may not exercise .ju-
risdiction over them, so long will property
be insecure and the valleys thinly settled.
The laws Of Mormonism are not such as
the citizens Of the valley respect, nor will
they submit to the exactions Of Mormon
officials. To save annoyance, litigation
and it may be blood, Congress should not
hesitate to grant the petition Of the citi-
zens Of the valley.
