The Mormons.

The opinion of Mr.. Frederick Loba, an
educated Swiss, who has escaped from
Salt Lake, with his family, that the Nor
mons have neither strength nor resources
to cope with even the United States forces
under Col j Johnson, comedies with that we
have heretofore expressed. Mr.. Loba es-
Inmates the total population of the valley
at $4,000. He thinks when the troops
reach salt Lake, Brigham Young and about
They will probably go northward to Van
couver's Island, or possibly to the Russian
Possessions, which they can do easier than
20 southwark to Sonora, as they are with
out means of sustenanee while crossing the
desert lying in that direction. There is
no probability that the Saints" will re-
tire in body thence, to sally in predatory
bands upon the Gentle troops or civil &C.
cupans of the valley. The Danites-well
fitted by experience and wicked instincts
for the life of banditti-might take to the
mountains but the masses couid not fol-
low them there, because it would be q
simple journey to starvation and death.
And for this very reason, no considerable
body, even of the Danites will seek the
mountain life, because there they could no
longer live upon the sweat and blood of
the toiling masses, whose tithes and other
offerings have heretofore afforded to the
Mormon hierarchy and their ministers of
despotism, known as Destroying Angels"
the support and means of gratifying their
debasing tastes and passions.
Mr.. LoBA gives the following account of
the indecencies practlced by the Mormon
apostles:
(" saw that the system Of polygamy
was anything but conduc Give to peace and
happiness in the human family,-but only
calculated to crafty the carnal propensi-
ties Of men, and to destroy, at the same
time, all that is delicate, refined or noble
in womans character, reducing her, in fact,
merely to the position of an article of mer-
chandise. | have seen two young sisters
sold by their own father to Gen. Horace
Eldredge for some groceries. have seen
men marrying both mother and daughter.

cource with his own sister, and then wit
messed Brigham Young taking his last
woman as his wife when she was about to
become a mother. One of my own per-
sonsl acquaintance, w. c. Stains-one Of
Brigham's favorite destroying angels
aud spies-applied to the prophet for leave
to take third wife. Leave was granted
The next day the lover appeared before
Brigham with his betrothed, when, greatly
to his establishment, that worthy changed
the programme slightly, and married the
lady TO himself, as he found her pretty
woman. Poor Stains accepted his cruel
berea vement as a trial from the Lord"

Is John Barley-Corn DeadP

The following from the Burlington Sen
tinel is fair expression of the tone Of
the administration press on the settlement
(?) of this vexed subject
We congratulate our readers upon the
final adjustment of the Kansas question.
The bill proposed by the Committee Of
Conference, passed both Houses of Con-
gress by a majority of NINE thus closing
the national halls of legislation forever
from the ingress of this vexed subject.
With all true patriotic hearts throughout
our whole country, VIC rejoice at the final
consumation of the act, which drives the
reckless demagogues who control the OPP
position to the democracy, from their
strong citadel. The question is settled,
and in such a manner, that neither Sec
tional hatred, nor political necessity can
ever revive it.
The announcement that the bill had re-
ceived the signature of the President vas
the signal for great rejoicing at Washing.
ton, where national salute was fred in
honor of the auspicious event, as also at
New York, Albany, Detroit. We trust
they will be repeated from one end of the
Union to the other, wherever there are
men who exult over the overthrow of fac
ton, or triumph Of sound principles.
But, what is the substance of this "fnal
adjustment ?" Why, simply, Kansas is
not in the Union. Congress having be-
come literally exhausted and the country
disguised, they have postponed the matter
to be consulted upon again at some subse-
quent time. 1t does not appear that the
people of Kansas desire admission on any
terms, certainly not on the terms proposed.
We are as willing as any can be to have
q respite. For the sake of Kansas and
the country at large, we have earnestly
desired final adjustment of this matter
upon equitable terms, and now hope that
when John Barley Corn, again lifts his
head it will not again be ruthlessy thrus,
under the soil. However much sense o.
justice may have been outraged by this so
called adjustment no one of the op
position, US a nero partisan, has any res
son to regard the affair with any other
than feelings of entire complacency.

Z Spring, with us, has as yet been tam
talizingly coquettish. Alterations Of
smiles and moodiness have been incessant,
and positive advances net very encoura-
ging. Still we are sanguine, though at
this present writing Tuesday morning. she
wears frown.
Our merchants are just now, receiv-
ing full supplies of spring goods, and seem
to be laboring successfully, to get up a
panic about their counters.
We give this week the conclusion Of
Mr. Walton's speech in the House. II
has necessarily excluded other matter we
would like to have presented, but We have
no doubt that our readers generally ar,
glad of the speech, and will be gratihed
in its perusal. Some correspondence hai
been delayed, for which no further apollo
~ will be necessary.

How will it Take?

The passage of the English bill has &C.
complished at least one definite result /;
the democracy have enunciated one prin-
ciple, which anybody can understand and
estimate. They have distinctly declared
their opinion that slave States should be
admitted with the minimum amount of
population, and at the same time should
receive maximum bonus, while free
State must wait till Congress shall have
ordered census which shall return go, 900
or more inhabitants, and there commence
business minus the patrimony. This gives
as clear definition of democratic princi-
pie as can be obtained Democracy now
means nothing more than this everything
for Slavery and nothing for Freedom. Will
the people, after this fair presentation, ac-
cept such democracy

DEMOCRATIC ORDINATION de.
mocracy of Bellows Falls, under the CON-
mand of their leader, ordained their room
over the post Office on Thursday evening
of last week, by having supper and some
fire works which were SO poor that even
the official organ does not make mention
of them. The tickets to the supper were
numbered in such way that at the table
the sheep would be separated from the
goats-or in other words so that the Irish
men were huddled together in a place by
themselves, and thus give more favora-
lie location to the native stock. A lot
Of boys in the streets were hired to do
some cheering under promise that they
should have a supper for the use of their
lungs, but afterwards they were not only
refused their promised supper but driven
away from the premises with horsewhip.
This was all well enough. Democracy
repudiates all contracts as soon as fairly
made but the boys were not old enough
to be aware of it. A bstch of resolu-
tons were fred off 1t is understood they
were not drawn by any of the committee
for that purpose, but no matter. The
second resolution endorses the administra-
ton. We notice one or two Anti-Le.
compton democrats among the officers of
the meeting. We don't see how they can
endorse the meeting unless they have gone
back to Lecompton, 10 which case thil
would be eminently proper. One Of the
sons of swate ould ireland declared thai
one of the speakers was knowledgable
man." but the ablest and most SINGER,
speech of the evening was doubtless mad,
by " Patrick Diggins " who was also ON
