THE DISCIPLINE AS IT IS.

Our brethren who contend for "the Discipline
as it is" are very anxious to show that are an
anti-savery Church-as DR.. Stevens has it, an
anti-slavery slGve-holding Church, and yet, they
well know that according 10 their own showing,
'the Discipline as tits" admits of universally slave.
holding throughout the Church.
l. The General rule, which f rbds "the buying
and selling of men, women, and children, with an
intention to enslave them," admits of giuimg a,cdy
Teceicing holding, JuyiHg and selling slaves, al.
ready such 1t only lorbids enslaving free blacks;
or in other words, the African slave.trade! Such
is the scope Of the Indiana speech of DR.. Stevens,
the great constitutional lawyer-the Daniel Web
ster of the Border" So potent, indeed, is thi,
constitutional shield, that to enact a rule for the
non-admission of mercenary shareholders into the
Church, would be "a violation of the Constitu
tion. :"
2. Answer l. of the chapter on slavery, sub
sidises the laws of the Church to the laws of the
Slave States; and allows leaders, local preach
ers. cxhorters. &c, to hold slaves, in all States
whose laws forbid Emancipation. Hence it is, that
with the Discipline as it is many local preachers
hold slaves, if they not even ordained by our
Bishops.
8. Answer ., while it might seem to forbid
slave holding in the ministry, really tolerates it,
by leaving emancipation upon two very convenient
conditions. (l) They must emancipate them III
1T BE PRACTICABLE" This one loop-h0le is enough
for whole conferences of slave eholding Methodist
preachers to run though. "Is is not practicable, "

Australian Politics.

The ministry Of Victoria have lately been defea' ed
by the democratic members of the legislature of Aus
trali, and new one has been for ned, composed of
some of the leaders of the opposition. The most re-
markable featur. in this democratic movement is,
that several of the Irish exes, whom the British
government indicted rebels at home, appear among
the most active and prominent among the liberal
party in this rich and magnificent country. MIR.

Charles Gavan Duffy, formerly editor Ct the Dublin
Nation, and one of the principal founders of the
Young ireland party, is minister of public works /;
and MIR. F yster, another Irish gentleman, public
treasurer.
The New York Irish News, remarking on the de-.
cided democratic tendency of Australian politics,
says:
1t is evident that another great republic will soon

GRAFTON, grand, powerful and prosperous the United
States, is about to spring into existence. We have
not received detailed account of the causes which
have contributed to place this semi Irish ministry in

may find il easy 10 keep other things. | dare say,
now, ii you had employed your time in searching
for the missing articles you mig have found them

you have mislad article, keep your temper and
look for It, You had better keep your temper, if you
lose all the little property you possess getting into
passion never brings anything to light, except a

In evidence of the degree of humanity and de-

contents of their revovers originally intended for
the persons of Washington, upon the bodies of the
cows and horses that grazing in the fields along
the road There must have been several hundred
shots fred. When the train arrived at the fork on

Ga- The Mormons are rapidly looming up into con-
sequence. The mode of dealing with them is the ques
tion of the day. Too long postponed, it must at
length be met and solved and we pleased 10 no.
tice on the art of the administration determination
to meet it.
These fanatics have CLOWN to height of arro-
gance and lawlessn IS that ought long ago TO have
been checked in lis more incipent stages. Wespeak
not of their peculiar tenets. Mere belief is not
tonable, but it Is aclionable when it makes itself
felt in overt acts or is heard in language melting
treason or felony. To this point Mormonism has ad
vanced The laws of the United States have been
set at naught, peaceable citizens have been driven
out or forced 10 conform to the brutal cCde of the
hierarchy who openly proclaim that they and they
alone have rights or jurisdiction in the Salt Lake
Territory.
The territory is, and from the nature of things,
must be- in a state of rebellion against the United
States.
This rebellion must be crushed. The laws of the
United States must be enforced. No State can be
admitted without republican form of government
and until the civil and military dictatorship of Brig
ham Young shall have been broken, instead of re-
public there must exist an autocracy upheld by q
politico-religious hierarchy. Utah, as things now
stand, ought never TO be admitted as State.
But Brigham Young is great knave rather than
great foo-a great hypocrite and not great ia
matte. He rants that he may rule. Upon civil power
and pecunary profit, the whole system of the lead.
ers is based, and the chances Of this power and prof
being removed the fabric erected thereon falls to
the ground.
Once fairly deposed by the government; once fair
ly envrontd by the civil and military of th'
country, and the pluck of Brigham, like that of Boil
Acres, will commence DOSING out at his dnger.ends
Not that Brigham lack pluck, but he has no faith tt
battle for. No impulse but those of interest ant
sensuality sway him, and his precious neck will no
be put in halter, simply to uphold cause that cal
no longer minister to his interests or his passions
