Judge Drummond and the Mornnons

Wepubished the other day an extract from charge
alleged to have been delivered lately BY Fudge Drum
mond Of Utah, before grand jury q tas Territory
argument has been advanced to prove that such q
charge could not have been made, It was incon-
sistent with the general law Of the United States.
However that may be- we received yesterday from
Judge Drummond himself, via. California comma
nicaton furnishing with extract from his charge
precisely the that we Published He asks lie
favor Of its publicationin columns, he desires
set himself right the vexed question Of p0lygamy,
which he apprehends will one day cause this nation
more trouble tbanany other Without eeinciding in
this opinion, have merely to say that Judge Drum
mond's wish having been anticipated We do net re-
publish the extract We take the opportunity, how
ever, to commend his firmness, decision and honesty
in the performance Of his duty and hope that it will
prove Of some service hereafter AS to the dcuties
attending this matter Of polygamy re think il they
not unwsely agitated the evil will eeetuay cure
itself in less time than it be cured by outward
pressure. Already we find that its effects are pain
fully deprecated by those who suffer from them. And
It is certain that mutitudes of the miserable
would gladly escape If they could.
There is reason to fear that any Of the adjoining
territories will adopt participate in the folIies Of
Utah and as that becomes subjected to other and
better influences, it will be restored to the decencies
of Christehdom. .si- .s..zr s,s = s5,.4-..-
