From the Southern Standard.
We Sill Live

Ono battle is over, and we hear the
note ofproparation for another conflict.
Like brave and mighty army, fresh
from the theatre Of recent war, and
hopeful and anxious for the contest, we
stand still for the advance of the ex-
pected foe. Though the tide of battle
is against us, though by ombinotion
of causes as distinct and visible as the
lightning at the midnight hour, our
banner trailing ingloriously in the dust,
our hearts and hopes are fraught not
with melancholy memories nor cheer
less expectations. Wecxpect to wage
another warfare, and with different
foe. History can yet record no men,
orable battle between Americanism &
its truo and legitimate enemy. In the
last great conflict, the people were a
mazed and frightened at the intruding
form of that foul demon of sectional
controversy, which has so often inflam-
ed the national mind and brought the
country to the very verge of disas.
trous destiny. In the wild excitement
of contest unknown before, there was
no timo to calmly think and reason
upon the great principles, the peacca-
bic policy, the noble and glorious pur-
poses of the American party. Like
one adrift and borne away upon the wa
tcrs of some wild Niagara, the masses
did not pause to drink from that native
stream whose tide is regulated by the
power of reason-intclligent and excl
ted. Ingulphed in a storm of section.
al agitation, as were the people Of the
Union, the candidate of the American
party was borne down at the North,
while the absence Of faith in the posi-
biiity of success destroy his prospects
at the South. Upon the broad basis
of American pr.nciplcs--on the great
question of their approval or condcm.
natlon--there was no contest and no
decision. Postponed at the behcst of
urgent and clamorous fanaticism, that
great decision is reserved for tho de-
velopcments Of time to come. When
the people will coolly thnk-whcn the
question shall come fairly before the
great masses Of intelligent freemen, -
we have no fears for their decision. In
the felicity of an unwavering faith, &
with firm determination which no
mean disasters can overwhclm, we bidc
our time. "The race is not always to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong"
Our warriors are eager for the fray
they wait for the coming of the enemy
and let him come. ...

Carson Valley---Polygamy!

Mr.. Morrill, from the Committee on
Territories, in the House of Reprcscn-
tatives, has given notice of his inten-
ton to make the following report:
Tho Committee on Territories, to
whom WAS referred the petition of the
citizens of Carson Valley, Utah Ter
ritory, praying for the annexation of
that part of Utah Territory to the
State of California, together with the
bill to change the eastern boundary of
tho State of California, have had the
same under consideration, and report
as follows, viz:
That it appears that the petitioners
are situated 800 miles from Salt Lake
City; that their business and CONNER
cial relations are entirely with the
State Of California, and they are not
Mormons and do not wish to be. They
represent that tho Territorial laws are
not administered with justice, but that
those who are not Mormons, and are
not "zealously affected toward that
faith, arc subjected to gross pcrsccu-
tons, by which they are often impov-
erishcd, and that the will and fanat-
cism of the leading elders bear heavily
upon the Gentle minority in the
Territory of Utah.
The petition Of the ladies represents
that while there are but three or four
Mormon families in the Carson Valley,
yet Elder Orson Hyde is made the pro-
bate judge of their county, and that he
brings among them one of his esprit
ual wives whom they regard as no
better than the ''scarlet lady," expec-
ting, when the judge introduces her as
his wife, that they will associate with
her; but that they look with disgustup.
on tho prospect of raising up their
daughters among such associates, and
they ardently desire that their homes
in their pleasant valley shall not be
"dofilcd' by their horrible fanaticism'
and deception Of Mormonism.
To what extent the evils complained
Of by the petitioners of Carson Valley
exist, the committee have little accur-
ate information; butt is notorious that
similar grievances have been published
as prevalent in other portions of Utah;
and, if they exist in Carson Valley
which is scarcely to be doubted, it may
fairly be presumed that their force and
offensiveness is not diminished where
the sway Of the Mormon elders is sup
ported by an overwhelming majority;
and where the ecclesiastical leaders
have the unlimited control over the po-
litical, civil, and religious action Of
their deyotecs.

Gus agitation Of the slavery question,
to leave tho people of the Territories
to decide for themselves when they
como to form State Constitution whe-
they shall be pro.slavery or an anti
slavery State, and to make the cartlin-
al principles of the American party the
paramount issue in all political contests
and, re-afirming our national platform
to strive sedulously aud necessarily for
the establishment Of pure American
policy. We would urge Americans
every where to firmly maintain their or
ganization and stcadfastly to continue
to advocate the cause they have espou-
sed until proud and splendid triumph
is achieved, and until their principles
have been made the fixed and perman-
ent policy Of the nation. Thus success
will surely crown our efforts, and, in
the restoration of public tranquility,
the preservation of our glorious Union
and the establishment of pure Amer
lean nationality, our patriotic labors
will be fully and happily consummat-
cd.

THE Legislative Farce in Zadianap-
olts.--The Telegraph yesterday bro't
us the intelligence thatthc Democrats
of the Indiana Legislature had held u
joint convention and elected Graham
N. Fitch and Jesse D. Bright United
States Senators although there was not
quorum of the two Houses present.
The whole affair was doubtless very
amusing farce, in which, judging from
the occurrences on Monday, the Demo.
Gratis are the losers. =. u ...
An attempt was made to hold joint
convention on Monday. The Demo.
cratic Lieut.. Governor and the Demo
cratic Senators left the Senate Cham
Der and repaired to the House to hold
a joint convention. The Republicans
left the House and there was conse-
qucntly no quorum of the two Houses
in the joint convention, and it was ad.
journed till yesterday. In the mean
time the Senate continued in session,
and by regular proceeding and in a
legal manner oustcd from his seat a
Democratic Senator whose seat was
contested When the Democrats re-
turned to the Senate, they found that
they had been completely outwitted 4
had lost a Senator.
We presume that the proceedings
yesterday were Of similar character,
and that the election of Senators was
held when no quorum of the two Ilou-
SEES was present in thejoint convention.
This of course, as has been decided by
tho highest Democratic authority, in
yalidates the election. The conduct of
tho Democrats in tho Indiana Legisla-
ture is shamcfully disgraccful. Their
efforts, thus without law and without
constitutionality, to secure to their
party the vacant Scholarships arc not
only convincing evidences of their reck-
less disregard for all laws and consti-
tutions. but show that they fear for the
stability Of their present power i'll the
State Government and are conscious
that their fortunes arc on the wanc.
