The House Of Representatives has de-
cided to abolish poiygamy in Utah by
vote of $50 TO 50. II has thus set the ex-
ample not only of legislating in the terri
tories. bat of legislating in regard to q
domestic institution. Douglas doctrine,
that the people of the territories should
be free 10 establish whatever social rela-
tions may please them, is by this vote hit
directly in the forehead. Popular SOW
ereiguty becomes nonsense, aud the supre-
macy Of Congress is established beyond
doubt.
More important than this, the Tote
breaks the taboo With which the existence
OF slavery in the territories has lately
been invested IN Congressional opinion.
What is there TO recommend slavery to
exemption from interference, which cannot
be urged with equal force in behalf Of po-
lvsamy? Both are ancient institutions,
barring p-ereiied IL yearly every age aud
nation, from the DAYS of Noah to the days
of Brigham Young, and from the plains of
Iran 20 the plains at Salt Lake. Both are
sanctioned By the practices of the patri-
archs, who are nowhere directly rebuked
in the Old Testament for their indulgen-
cies in wives OF slaves. The same reason
ing BY which Mr.. Hunter proves that
slavery is the true and humane condition
Of society may be adduced to show that
polvgamy is the normal condition Of the
family 1t is therefore just as wrong for
Congress 10 step into Brigham Young's
styes, and TO say that he shall not enter
tain more than one wife, IS it would be
for Congress to enter the cabins OF the
STAKEHOLDER, and say that be shall not buy
and sell men
When the Republican Convention of 1856
pronounced slavery and pOlyganIy twin
relics of barbarisrn,' it spoke the truth;
for they have had their origin in the same
circumstances, are equally repugnant TO
the moral law, and alike in their social in
huences No objection can be urged
against polygamy which is not valid against
slavery, and as institutions they deserve TO
share the same fate. Mr.. Nelson, of Ten
nessee, urges that slaves are held By
right of property, while the marrying of
more than one wife is criminal act; but
where the practice of polygamy obtains,
wives are also regarded as a species of
property, while the act is no more criminal
in one case than in the other. Moreover,
it is not true that under the laws of ma
ture, or the laws of nations. the right of
property in slaves is recognised. 1t is an
exceptional right altogether, which can
only be established by positive municipal
legislation, or an immemorial usage. equiv
alent 10 law. But polygamy is established
in Utah with the same sanctions. and the
title of the Latter-Day Saints to their
wives is just as legitimate as the title of
our latter-day sinners to their men.

Fire in the Jersey Plnss--A Fearful
Prom the Nj. nollx Mirror.I

\ fire was raging in the Pines, in this
county, last week, to fearful extent and
Of course, doing great damage. 1t started
on Wednesday, at Garontown, halfway
between Red Lion and Friendship. Its
course was across to Ex-Sheriff Dobbias
tract. at Retreat, from there to Burr's Mill,
thence by Browns Mil, towards 1lingen's,
in the vicinity of which place it was burn
ing on Friday. The extent of its ravagcs.
at that time, was distance of about six
miles in length, by three in breadth.
The most of the timber that it passed
through was of second growth, belonging
to Gen. Trick, John S. Trick. John Woods
ton, S. A Dobbins, ". H. Trick and others.
The FIRE originated by some men, at
Garontown, burning over a few acres of
meadow, for the benefit of the Spring
pasture. 1t being excessively dry and the
wind high, as soon as the fire was kindled
the flames spread in all directions, and it
was impossible to check or control them.
The fire, at the last accounts, wss doing
considerable damage, and it is not be-
lieved. can be fully extinguished while the
present dry, windy weather continues.
The Mannahawkin stage, on its way to
Mount Holly, on Friday, met with narrow
escape from the fire. The driver, before
he was aware of it, found himself all
most IN tue lnluSL Oh Itc names. ue
great body of the fire, however. seemed to
be in advance of him, and he turned
around to make good his escape, but he
had not proceeded far before the flames
checked him in his retreat, and he was
obliged to pursue his journey in another
direction.
In short time he again found himself
surrounded by the flames. He saw no
other course to pursue bat to go straight
ahead and urging his horses to their ut
most speed, hoped soon to be free from the
| dcvouring element. But when he was
surrounded by the greatest body of fire
and smoke, his horses became frightened
and stopped, and it was impossible to
move them. Here they remained for a
minute or two, the fire roaring and crack
ing to terrific extent, when suddenly, the
smoke clearing away, the horses started,
and the driver found that this great mass
of FIRE had crossed the road n short dis
lance in advance, and was making the
most fearful ravages in its track the right
of them.
He was soon enabled to get entirely out
of its path, and felt that he had never be-
fore been in so terrible position. At one
time it appeared to him that the flames
must entirely surround him and cut off all
means of escape. He had two female pas
sengers, and as may be supposed, they
were frightened beyond all description.
Fearing that they would perish in the ere
and smoke, their screams were frequently
of the most painful nature.

The Ba.i. OF Mercantile ProsperIIy-

The Two principal conditions Of success
ia mercantile calculations appear TO be =
sound and Well-informed judgment, and q
regulated and reasonable desire of gain.
The inordinate, grasping anxiety of wealth,
which characterizes many men, is, in
large proportion of cases, passion fatal
to their success. 1t blinds the judgment.
and misleads it into visionary schemes and
ruinous speculations; and an ample expe-
rieuce shows that men of the coolest, most
deliberate habits. when they have once
yielded 10 the passion for wealth, are no
longer capable of reasoning wisely. OF
The other ualihcation-namely, correct
information, as condition of mercantile
success-it seems hardly necessary to
speak knowledge is power says
great master of English philosophy Not
less in mercantile life than elsewhere is
this maxim true. The language of every
merchant should be, ''Give US light in
crease and rnultiplythe means of informa-
ton What is capital, energy, enterprise,
sagacity, without acute knowledge, extern
sivc information? An ignorant merchant
NAV happen to succeed. even in this day,
but every one must see that 1t Is most
improbable peradventure. A single fact
is worth folio of argument, and We have
one just to the point; it is this:-That one
crisis and panic in England was the want
of true information respecting the amount
OF fiour and grain which this country could
supply. 4 number of the English corn mer-
chants proceeded upon the belief that oar
surplus was exhausted, when such was not
the fact. They made their contracts upon
that false assumption, and were ruined
There is no one subject in which the
whole mercantile community have deeper
interests than that of the vast modern in
crease of the facilities for difiu sing and OBJ
tanning full and correct information on
everything pertaining to trade. so that all
can enjoy its advantages; and no man need
hope to compete successfully with his
neighbor. who shuts himself out from
participation in these facilities. The time
has come when it is no longer in the pow
er of the few TO monopolize; and every
day tends more and more to equalize the
condition and advantages of business
men. and to throw wide open to all the
door TO wealth, respectability, influence,
and honor. Nor is there any necessity for
the frequent failures in mercantile life
which have distinguished the past. The
young merchant who commences on the
broad and sound moral basis of integrity
and nice mercantile honor. and who con-
ducts his business with intelligence and
Judgment, and without undue cagerness
aud haste to be rich, will generally meet
with success, as he will certainly deserve
it. 1t is true. this is day of ardent COM
petition: but it is not less true, that it is
day when manly, honorable enterprise,
buckles on its armor under auspices the
most cheering and hopes the most cncour-
aging.-HuHt'S Merchants Magazine.
