THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE MoRMoSs

The NEW YORK TIMES AND THE MORMONS.
The Times has most happy faculty of building a
fine castle for the enjoyment of pulling it down
The Times is distressed that the government ever
sent military expedition to Utah. and is convinced
chat the "rebellious people" are now engaged in a
concerted movement prevent the execution of the
laws in that Territory. Pretty much everything in
the opinion of our amiable contemporary, is wrong.
The President is ablunderer, the Mormons wicked
conspirators the laws submitting the question of
punishment TO Jurors sad failure, the army is in
efficient, the war was wrong, the peace was wrong,
Gov Cumming is dupe, and the country owes a
whole world Of gratitude to the New York Times for
exposing this frightlul series of mistakes and blum
ders. Our cotemporary's glasses magnify too much I;
80 much, we fear, as to obscure objects near by.
When murders and robberies committed by thou
sands in our great citiea and management does what
good lawyers might not be able to do as well, ig-
more indictments acqut am acknowledged criminal,
very litte Of the Times watchfnlness is excited. 1t
is only when other people fail that the eyes Of our
contemporary are opened to the evil Ii is not un-
questionable as an agency of government in the
Mormon country. instances are not unHeQuenI

Alabama a little while ago, and all the northern
States of the Union in the of the execution of
the fugihve~slaye law, are notable examples of the
failure of admirable jury system to execute JUS
tice in all cases Every great good is apt to have
in the immediate neighborhood some corresponding

moro or less trouble ia Utah in executing the laws

6cient TO impeach the President Of wrong in termi-
mating the conflict between the Mormon people and
the federal government. The Times, in following its
correspondent to conclusions, becomes mere parti

the old order, recall Gov. Cumming, reinstate Brig

tute martial law aud military government for its OBJ

Of the Mormon people or have them to cut our
throas Is it desirable, indeed, that by the policy
Of the government we should create castes--two POI
ltical systems the republican and theocratic? The
Times is far more critical than sensible--more ex-
pressve in denouncng what has been done than
wise in pointing out what ought to be done. Capac-
ty to see the faults of others is not always accom-
panied by very clear perceptions of what is neces-
sary to remedy them and to substitute just measures
in their place So we apprehend the Times must be
