DiDstTation and the democracy on the 1igger

Bible question for compromise on
Native American notions; but unless the
republican managers shall 60 up to Syracuse
prepared to sacrifice W. II. Seward to the COM
NOR cause, we fear that the proposed love feast
will break up in row, and result in separate
American State ticket for November.
The "Bipghamton platform" excepting the
anti Seward resolution, will amount TO little or
rolling Tburlow Weed is a ely old fox. and
knows that the besd of Seward Is the real price
which the Know Nothines will demand for their
services in behalf Of the republican party.
But az this surrender Of Seward to the execu-
TONERS will involve the abandonment of his re-
publican machinery, we cannot undertake to
soy that these soft appliances of UIlmAan, Head
ly aid Scroggs fer a coalition between the
bigger loving republicans and the Irish hating
Know Notbings will be successful.
In any event, the two Syracuse Conventions
OF the 9th September, hit or split, will 60 very
far to fasugurate the reconstruction of the op-
position elements for 1860, either as one party,

TIE ign rance misery and desdtutiou on the
part q the people, and the folly, rascsli'y and
gree d on the part Of The leaders Of the Mormobs
in Utsb, which have been laid open to the view
Of the world by the entrance of the army aud
officials Of the United States into Salt Lake Val
ley, aurpasses anything that has ever been
found within the admitted pale Of civilization.
The pictures of the social condition of the
great mass Of the inhabitants, which have been
20 G, ephically presented by our special CORE
spoI dent in that region, exhibit the most ap-
pollins degradation. The return from Provo
of those who had migrated southwark by order
Of Brigham Young was a lamentable march
Men, children and pigs huddled together in the
few wagons they possessed, while women, with
scsnty dress, bare feet and sunburDt faces,
drove their email herds of cattle and swine
along the dusty road On the other baud, the
priests Of this theoc sticsl organization, rigid
N collecting the tithes and dues of their iniqui.
tously organized church, and ruthless In their
oppression of the people, have rolled in luxury
and perpetuated their rule by bands of assas-
sins, called by them the tribe Of Dan.
To the well Known existence of the terror in
spir.d by the leaders ard their faithful Danites is
no doubt due the fact that thousands of men Who
bad known other and better states Of existence
have hitherto showed no signs of apostacy from
this degrading rule. They had been lured into
parrow valley thousand miles beyond the
borders OF civilization, from which exit through
few narrow canons or ravines was surrounded
with difficulty, and escape WAS almost impossi-
bic. To the tender a. d loving nature of wo-
man, whose better instincts rebelled most
strongly against the brutal position assigned to
her, there was presented an impossible barrier
to all relief. How large plumbers Of them
cluDg to the soldiers of Captain Steptoe's com
nand four years since, when be wintered in
Salt Lake on bis way to California, is well
known. Our recent advices from there lead US
to entertain the hope that the end Of this state
of things has been inaugurated, and that we shall
yet see peaceful, free and happy community
thriving where rascality has so long held sway.
The march Of the army into Utah has broken
the ward of Brigham Young, and the establish
nent there OF the officers OF the United States
promises protection to those Of the Mormons
who with to throw Off his despotism
The sclfstyled Prophet II reported to keep
himself screened from public view, closely shut
up within his house and gardens, where be,
no doubt, is closely watching the march Of
events, and preparing new schemes for the re-
establishment of his power. But schism IL
slrtady at work among his followers; and we
baye no doubt that rs soon as il shall become
evident there that the government can and
will protect the rights Of individuals against
Young and bis fanatical adberents, the number
Of the seceders from the Mormon church will
become very large. The same Incentive do
sire for temporal well being-wbich has led so
many Of the ignorant and poverty stricken
people of Europe 10 seek new and more luxu-
rious home in Utah, will lead them TO abandon
faith which has only involved them in
poverty and degradation Fanatics will, no
doubt, continue 70 exist there for they exist
everywhere; but when they are once deprived
Of political and social rule in the community,
its character must necessarily Undergo q great
change
These benefic results have been brought
about by the firm and persistent course pur-
sued by Mr.. Buchanan. The appointment
