The Appointments for Utah Com
Position OF THE MoRMoNs- The ONLY
REMEDY FOR THE ABUSES OF MORMON
ISM.
Washington, June %.

REMEDY FOR THE ABUSES OF MORMON
ISM.
Washington, June %.
The Government has completed the APP
pontments for Utah. both Executive and
Judicial, and the instructions for the Gov
ernor are no doubt ready. The spirit OF
these is simply what has been declared BY
Mr.. Buchanan, to wit: that the laws of
the United States must be obeyed in the
Territory The body of troops who, if
need be, are to aid in the enforcement OF
The laws, are already detailed for this ser
vice, but will not reach the Territory be-
fore the 1st of September.
The Mormons, generally, deride the
| idea of the exercise Of military force against
them. They have among them shrewd
LAWYERS and dipomatists, who viii contrlve
to keen all Mormondom within the pail of
constitutional law. Over the conscience
of the Mormons the Federal authorities
can exercise no control, and their morals
cannot be improved by force Of arms. 1t
is probable that they will be careful to
commit no overt act of treason, but their
Juries will be so constructed that a due
and impartial administration of Justice will
be impracticable.
A remedy for the abuses of Mormonism
will be found only in the repeal of the act
establishing the Territory, and this we have
no moral right TO do, unless it shall be JUS
tilted by their persistence in such "a trea-
lsonable course as shall render the Territory
unfit to come into the Fedora. Union
Before such an act will be resorted to by
Congress they will take care to inform
themselves, from disinterested and impair
tial sources, of the act al state of facts
which will justify it.

ABOUT FLowERs.-Some one has had
pleasant thoughts about flowers, and thus
puts them on paper:
SIN every age of the world. flowers have
been revered; but the more enligh tened
and refined people are, the more attention
they pay tothe cultivation of them. They
are welcome everywhere; they befit every
time and place they send forth their per-
tune to cheer the pleasant cottage, and
they add charm to the palace they a.
dorm the brow of a joyous bride, and are
tWlned IN the hair of the dead; they are
planted on the grave of the loved, and
speak OF undylng affection; the loved choo-
SEES them to convey the deep and refined
feeling of his soul to the maid he loves !.
the maiden culls the sweetest howars
which breathe her love in every petale.-
Evil thoughts will find but little space IN
that heart which loves the gentle flowers y

The Financial Times.

The business of speculation and fraud IN
railroad securities has about come to stand
and some new enterprise is being sought
out by the bold adventures in stock gam
bling.
We may look for some rich develop
mems in the new field to which these have
so eagerly turned their attention.
| Gigantic frauds in banking will be the
order in almost every state of the Union
for the paw of the Bear and horn OF the
Bull are latterly turned towards new ano
more productive regions. Warm blood
fresh from new victims, will only appeasf
the hungry bears. and pasture of the mos
luxurious growth can alone satisfy the fe
rocious bulls.
So We say to our friends in other States
look out. In Georgia particularly, we eau
ton them, and in Rhode Island; Tor a
large herd of both these IA, nous animals
have determined to fatten themselves. In
defiance of justice or fail dealing all kinds
Of frauds and even forgeries will De re-
sorted to in order to accomplish their ends
We know Of forgeries now In existence &c
enable persons to start a bank IN a south
err state; and when commenced at the
very root, what will be the enormous eX-
tent if permitted to get into full blaet!-

critical period ofmy life she preserved or

she relieved me. She gently reclaimed

useful and credi.able to me and she was
perpetually at hand to admonish my
heedlessness.

A Coon OSE.-The New Albany
Ledgeg relates the following capital story
AS our readers generally are aware,
since the opening Of the Ohio and Missis
sippi Railroad, there is a great deal of II
valry in ST. Louis between that and the
Alton and Terre Haute road, as to which
shall get the casters travel. Upon the ar
rival of the boats and cars from Jefferson
City the passengers are at once beset by
tho agents of these rival roads. A friend
of ours reccntlp witnessed a scene, on one
of these occasions, which is worth relating.
On the arrival of the cars from Jefferson,
a gentleman in white cravat and black
coat, evidently clergyman, stepped out
IN the platform, and was at once accosted
in most deferential manenr by the agent
of tie 0. & NJ. road, ~ho asked the min
ister if he was going East, to which the
latter replied that he was.
Il am the agent of the Ohio and Mis-.
sissippi Road" said the questioner. at is
a new road-new appointments-goes
through without change OF cars-quicker
than any other route, and has the advan-
tage over all other roads, of being the
broad guage, with wide, roomy cars, =
dwelling at great length on the latter adj
vantage. The agent of the Terre Haute
& Alton Road then stepped up. Il rep
resent" said he, "the Alton road. Ours
is good road-track well ballasted, aud
perfectly smooth-make close connections,
and will 90 through as quick as any route.
1t is true" continued the Alton man, adj
dressing the minister, shat ours is the mar
row guage, but you are aware, sir, that the
good book says, broad is @the way that
leadeth to destruction and marrow is tie
way which leadeth unto life" s'That,
said the clergyman, sis the doctrine ]
PREACH and at once purchased a ticket by
the Alton road.

sure of it.

The Democrats at Washington give the
fullest assurances that Walker will succeeu
in making Kansas Slave State, though
the late refusal If the Free State men to
vote somen hat illustrates his designs, as 1t
virtually spoils bis project for making Kan
sas a democratic Free State, which they
saw is the same as making it a Slave State.
Had the Free State men voted, they would
have been beaten, as all the traps were
laid to catch them; and had they voted at
all there would be an appearance OF far
ness in adopting by Congress the pro sla-
very Constitution enacted by the forth
coming convention. As the matter stands,
the Free State men will urge the Topeka
Constitution upon Congress sanctioned by
IA tremendous majority of the people, a
calnst the negro slavery constitution sup
ported by a miserable minority. This Is a
fair statement of the reasons urged eyefv-
where by the democracy for the Free
State men to vote. Furthermore, as the
matter now stands, the whole responsible
ty rests with the party in power Should
they make Kansas Free State, they will
betray their trusts to the pro-slavery side,
and nobody will thank them. These con
Isiderat ions cause them to rave and below
like she-lions bereft of their whelps.

The FIRST TWENTY YEARs.-Liye as
long as you may, the first twenty years
form the greater part of your life. They
appear SO when they are passing; they
seem to have been so when we look ba. i
to them, they take up more room in oul
memory than all the years which succeed
them. If this be so, how important that
they should be passed in planting good
principles, cultivating good tastes,strength-
ening good habits, and fleeing all those
pleasures which lay up bitterness and sor-
row for the time to come! Take good
care of of the first twenty years of your life,
and you may hope that the last twenty
will take care of you.
