E% Two years ago, the Republican
party we're so terribly hard run for pc
litical capital that they made anti Nor
nloniSn1 a principal plank in their Phil
adelphia platform, and pledged the Ere
mont administration to wipe out ''those
twin relics of barbarism, Slavery and
Polygamy." Now, their tune is totally
changed. Their very heart strings are
torn at. the bare remem braDce of the
wrongs which have been visited on the
Mormons, and they boldly charge Old
Buck with cruelty to an oppressed and
prosecuted people. he only pretezt
for this charge against the President, is
to be found in his fixed determination to
compel the Mormous to cease robbiug
and numbering emigraut traits, and to
submit themselves in d~ecency 10 all the
rightfuI authority of the general gov
ID over Utah. As to the matter
OF how many wives a Mormon may have,
that is q question with which the Presi-
dent does not propose to NEEDLE. Every
State and Territory has the right to
establish and maintain its own marriage
laws free from all outside interference.
Some States Of the American Union
have hung persons for horse stealing
Others wont hang even for the most fla
grant murder. In neither case. can the
general government interfere. Its rights
and powers are plainly set forth in the
States constitution. Beyond
what that Instrument expressly provides,
neither Congress nor the President can
go.-Neqoark AdUocatc.

SAILING OVER WHEAT FIELD One
can hardly realize tie condition Of things
along the Mississippi. La a conversation
with Mr.. FAYRwEATHER, the General
Agent for the Chicago and Burlington
Railroad, he stated that passengers were
carried by the steam boat seven or eight
miles from Burlington to the Oquawka
station, to reach the cars on that road,
and have not less Than FIVE feet water all
the way. In the route lies the farm of
an old settler, who had in one field two
hundred acres of as fine wheat as ever
charmed the eye, and the entire crop is
covered eight feet deep with water, and
the steamer makes regular trips across
this wheat feld.-Clev. Herald

rhe late Ohie LegisIature.

The more we examine the enactments
Of the late session of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, the more fully we become persua.
ded that it was the most profitable ses.
sion. to the people, that was aver held
In the capital. The Independent Urea,
sury Law, alone, which we publish in this
paper. will be an enduring monument to
the integrity and wisdom of the legisla-
ture Of 1858. Had this law been upon
ths statute books when the Democratic
masses of the State first demanded it,
how much of p~ecuniary loss, of misery
and of crime, it would have saved It
will save millions in the future. 1t will
preserve not only the money of the peo-
pie, but The honor of the State and her
public servants.
In this one law there is more of prac
teal good, We will undertake to say,
than in all the enactments of all the
Republicans and all the Abolitionists,
that have been made since those factions
had an existence.
Honor to whom honor is due. The
entire legislation of last winter. the
more it is Analysed, the more heartily
will It be approved by the public jueg-
ment.
