This precious document leads to
several conclusions-that the school
master was not abroad when its distin.
guished auther was trained for a
statesman--that votes and election
services are held at low figure in
some Of the Northern States, partic-
ularly in the "Coshocton District
that the Black Republican patriots
err slightly when they claim a mo.
nopoly Of all the virtue and intelli.
gence in the country and that one
OF them, at least, is fool as we'll as
a knaye. The only parallel we have
lately seen to the Hon. w. r. Sapp's

THE MORMONS.


Sly what we viii, reason about it
as We may, it is alarming to see a
people building up in onr midst a
power within a power, nation within
our nation, wholly unlike us in habits,
laws, customs, and religion, and, while
protesting to yield to us a due sub
mission, seeking every opportunity to
assert their sovereign independence.
1t is still more alarming to think
that body of law-dsfying and gos-
peLridiculing fanatics, like the Nor
mons, constitute the power in ques-
ton; that their disgusting comblna-
ton of sacred and obscene things ut
terIy precludes the idea Of an uitl-
mate assimilation between them and
our own population; that their system
of morals and government is so based
upon the qualification of the most de-
PRAYED of human appetites, that it
must eventually come into direct col
lision with the principles of the Amer
lean Union; and that the result cannot
but prove a shocking and murderous
contingency.
Falsehood and hypocrisy seem to
be the mildest offences of the Latter
Day Saints. They appear to have
emigrated from all parts Of the world
merely to found city here where
they might commit sin without a
sense of shame, ard indulge In every
species of indecent RIGHTEOUSNESS un-
der the protection Of their OVID laws
and under the pretence of special de-
votion; and when their fearful viol'-
tons of decorum. their blasphemous
burlesque on Christianity, their stand
ing mockery of the civilization of the
age in which we live, and their dis
creditable reflection upon the intelli-
gence and purity of our country ne
cessarily attracted governmental at
tention, they "looked rebellion"
This state of things cannot last
long. There must be an irruption,
Tt will come, and we may as we'll be
prepared forit. Polygamy or Chris
tianity must fall in the conflict. -
Which shall it be? 1t is admitted
that women have more freedom III
America than in any other part of the
world. They are treated with more
laspect, and hold higher social posi-.
ton. Would that respect and that
position be heightened or decreased
by the adoption of Mormon exam.
ple? Or is it not absolutely necessa-
ry that, to preserve for the sex it
glorious place in our hearts and judg'
ments. the Mormon example should
be extirpated as one fraught with mis-
chief hereafter? We cannot bear tC
contemplate such picture of destruc
ton; but it would seem that justice tt

SARSkphRILlA,


TnF all the remedies that have been discov-
" cred during the present age for the thou
sand ills that flesh is heir to" none equal this
wonderful preparation. Only three wears have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spept de-
cade IN studying, experimentalizing and per-
fecting it) first introduced it TO the public. and
1t IS already recognized by the most eminen.
physicians IN all parts of the country to be the
most surprising and effective remedy for Ger
tain diseases of which thew have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups Of the root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
of the faculty, because on being tested. they
have been found to contain noxious ingredi-
elts, which neutralize the effects of the sar-
saparilla, and oftentimes injure the health of
the patieut. 1t in not so with Hurley's pre-
parations.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the
root; and viii, on trial, be found TO effect a
certain and perfect cure of the following COM
plants and diseases:
Debility, Habitual Costiyensss,
Disease of the Kidneys Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Erysipelas, Piles,
Female Irregularities, Pulmonary Diseases,
flstula, Scrofula or Kings Evil,
AID allDiseases of the Syphilis,
Skin.
Besides curing the above, it is also known
to be great and powerful tonic, purifying the
blood and invigorating the system.
In short, it is without exception, in the ca
sees mentioned and its general effect on the
system, the most efficacious, as it is most de-
sirable. remedy ofthe age. 1t is already extern
sively used throughout the country, and is
fast obtaining an European reputation. The
instances of cures j; has effected are daily
coming to the proprietor's knowledge, and he
has no hesitation in recommending it to
one and all who desire to procure relief from
suffering. One bottle being tried, its effects
will be too apparent to admit Of further doubt.
Recollect Hurley's Sarsaparilla is the only
genuine article in the market.

C- The suit alluded to by the Enquirer
yesterday, is not debt Of Mr.. Sanders own
contracting. but is claim founded on a con-
tngent liability for lawyers fec in case IN
which he had no interest except as friend
'or relative to one Of the parties; a liability
which he wholly denies, and for which he
cannot, in the opinion Of his counsel, be made
responsible; the case is untried, and there is.
we are told, very little probability Of judg-
ment being obtained against him; the attach
ment was made simply to facilitate collection
in case judgment should be obtained, which is
a very remote contingency, but one which
sharp lawyers like to provide for. The pune
tuality with which Mr.. Sanders met all his
engagements, gave him deservedly high
credit among his fellow citizens; and no one
but "Pottowattamie, would have awaited
himself Of SO simple and justifable pro.
ceeding to make vindictive attack upon the

r.rrs Hsuts and Attiea Railroad.

Terrs 6aute and Atttca Railroad.
The Lafayette Daily American, in an excel
lent article upon the subject of extending our
road, says:
Further investigation convinces US more and
more, Of the importance, not only, but Of the
prospective profits Of the proposed Terrs
Haute and Attica railroad. Its connections
with the Toledo, Wabash & Western railroad,
at Attica, would make it part OF the great
through line Of travel between ST. Louis and
the East, in preference to the routes through
Illinois, and by the various railroads through
that State. An arrangement could be easily
perfected for running trains from Toledo to
st. Louis, by that route, without change OF
cars, and to give to the road between Attica
and Terre Haute the entire influence of the
Toledo, Wabash and Western, and the roads
from Terre Haute to ST. Louis.
For freighting purposes, the road would be
OF still greater importance. An immense
amount of freight now passes between the
Ohio river and Lake Erie, by way Of the JEFF
fersonville road, to Indianapolis, and thence
via, Peru to Toledo, or by other routes to
Cleveland. All that business would be legiti-
mately done, after the completion Of the road
between Terre Haute End Attica, between
Toledo and Evansville direct, being the near.
est and best route between the great Southern
rivers and the Northern waters. Toledo is as
near to Buffalo or Dunkirk, for all practical
purposes Of freighting by the lake, as Cleve
land is, and can be reached by the routes pro
posed, from the Ohio river, with much les.
distance and expense Of Railroad transit thar
Cleveland can.
The proposed road is no visionary enter
prise. 1t is demanded by the commerce o
the West, and would be a paying road. w,
hope it may be built, and that speedily.
1t is remarkable that the papers and citi

TRINITY CHURCH, Nrw YoRK-This church
holds property, it is supposed, to the amount
OF SS,OOO,OOO, granted to it, in the Colonial
period of the country, by the British Crown,
and given to the "Rector and Inhabitants Of
tho parish Of New York in communion with
the Church" The other Episcopal churches
have contended that the donation was for the
benefit of all the churches Of that denomination
that might be established in the parish or city
Of New York. The Trustees Of Trinity have,
however, retained the entire possession and the
Appropriation Of it to their own benefit They
have grudgingly doled out small sums an
nually as a gift to aid other churches in the
State. but have held the principal and its rev.
enues, with tenacious grasp, rs their own.
The management Of the estate has afforded
rich pickings for the members Of the Old Tri-
nifty vestry. place in which has been worth
more, for the pecuniarv facilities it afforded,
than seat at the Board of Metropolitan
Bank. 1t has stimulated the zeal and piety
Of many worldly man TO reach that honor in
gazing too intently upon which, his views
have often fallen short Of heaven. The oppo-
nents Of Trinity in the other Episcopal church
es are now making strenuous effort for q
participation, or distribution of the proper
ty: which consists Of Real Estate, still rapidly
advancing in value. A public meeting of all
Episcopal clergy and laity was held on the
26th. ult in Now York to take steps to en-
force their claims. A movement has also
been made in the Legislature, and commit
tee was appointed to investigate the titles and
the amount Of property held by Trinity. The
vestry have studiously concealed and mis-
stated the amount and value Of the estate. In
their last published report it was represented
to be only about 81 100000.
The Legislative committee have found more
than five million dollars at very low valu.
alton. Others estimate it at eight millions
The accumulation of so vast o sum in the
hands ola close corporation--in mort main
is SO opposed to the popular sentiment Of the
day AID the spirit Of our institutions, that
the Legislative power of the State will I'M
doubtedly interpose and dissolve the trust,
by distributing it to the churches. Old Trim
ity, like all other aristocratic immortal crea-
tons Of former days, that have been broken
down in that State, will have to yield to the
leveling and democratic spirit of the age.
