- HIGH PRICE OF CoTToN.-The United States Econ
omist, of last week, says that there is now pros
pect of advanced prices of cotton. 1t bases this
expectation upon not much more than an ordinary
supply, while the large harvest of Europe must
ate an increased demand. It says:
"This demand is to be reached only when the gen
eral demand tor cotton so far exceeds the United
States crop to compel large supplies from other
quarters. This state of affairs now about to be
attained. The United States crop is limited by the
supply of labor, and the wants of Europe are mere
than equal to the whole of :hat labor in the most
favorable years-eyen in years OF dear food sea-

PoLYGAMY.-From time to time evidence comes to
us that poygamy is regarded as al abuse by the wo-
men who are its victims. One Of the published ser
mons of Gov Young rebukes the dissatisfaction of
his wives, and offers them the alternate of subms-
sion or banshment from UIah. The system is one
that must be unpopular from the il equality and
hardship of lis operation The roporttn of the
sexes is so nearly equal that il one has two
wives another must go without any. Then, where
there are more wives than in family, will
commonly be the favorite, and the others neglected
drudges-u unwilling workers tor an esranged bus
band Only 'he labor that leligheth physics pain
The work that women do for an unfaitbful lord, is
the constrained labor of slave. The disa fecrien
now suppressed by fear, will find speedy expression
VIII en it is certain OF the relief that it nvokes and
is no longer in danger of mourning punishment for
complaining of oppression In this way, the action
of the general government in dspatching troops 10
Utah may be expec'ed to undermine poygamy, and
10 set in motion causes that will ultimately effect its
extinction. Thus the protection given to the people
of Utah, will enable them to throw Oft corruption
of morals which had its origin in ecclesiastical fraud,
intrigue and oppression. The exercise OF popular
sovereignty will extirpate an abuse OF power and a
public shame, tyrannous and degrading in its in
fuence upon those who practice and permit 1t, as
offensive to the civilization of the age. The princ-
pie of local freedom and ndepe ndence, operating TO
relieve the territory of the odium which s falsely
alleged 10 be probable consequence, OF Its main
tenance, will at vindic tie It's own benehcence,
and silence the clamoro reveings OF its calumnla.
