TUE MINES IN AEIzoNA-The mines in Ari

correspondent of the Bulletin who processes
to know something about them, and who has
lately visited them, declares that the various
letters published in this State, ard in the
east, in regard to them, are for the mort part
pure fabricNtions, gotten up for the purpose
Of raising an excitement to aid in selling off
shares in the mines The copper and silver
mines on the ella, he says, was a bubble
which has been demolished The San Javer
Mining Company is broken up, more than
one Of its members residing in the Territory
writing up the mines. TIE Compadre and
other mines of the New York Mining Co.,
ARE completely paralyzed" They were
sated by COL Titus, Of Nicaragua notoriety.
The san Antonio mining company is another
of Col. Titus abortiye humbugs." The Pat
agonia mine, owing to mismanagement, is
understood TO have been sold east for $25 900.
Upon the whole there has been "much cry
and little wool" in regard to the mining in
terests in Arizona.

POlygamy.

Senator Seward, in his late speech in the
Senate, and it was great one seemed to De
much exercised about those twin relics of
/ barbarism. polygamy and slavery" partieu
/ larly the former. He thinks that poly ygamy
can never be rooted out of Utah except 10y the
Republican party that is, that nothing but
direct Congressional legislation on the subject
will effect the object. Popular sovereignty,
he says allows majority Of the people to do
as they please, in respect to having a plural
ity Of wives, and therefore that popular SOW
ereignty will rather maintain than suppress
polygamy. This position is not tenaLe In
the first place polygamy is not inhibited by
the Constitution of the United States, and
may exist, as slavery does, wherever the 10
cal laws establishe it. Every State now in
the Union prohibits it, but not upon any au-
thorty of the Federal Constitution. They do
it upon the undisputed ground Of their own
local sovereignty Congress has no right to
touch the question in any shape or manner.
The utmost which that body can do is to re
fuse to admit a State into the Union, whose
constitution favors the polygamic system.
And such State ought undoubtedly to be
SO refused. The peculiar character of our Gov.
ernment forbids that the National Legislature
prescribe the domestic institutions of the or
ganized communities Of either States or Terri
tories. 1t certainly forbids any such dcta-
/ I; e. IT,
saying nothing as to legislation for the Terrific
ries save in their character as landed property
it follows. by parity of reasoning. that Com
gress can no more interfere with them than
with States, in the matter of their domestic
Institutions.
If this position be correct there is no al
/ tentative but to fall back upon the doctrine
Of popular sovereignty for the solution of the
difficulty. Now, is it true that the operation
of this principle will perpetuate polygamy ?
1 BY no means There are elements at war
against that institution in the very midst of
the Mormon Hierarchy, and there are hun
dreds of the citizens of Utah, outside the
church who are opposed to it, while there is
an outside pressure, against the system, from
the whole Christian world. The protection
lately afforded to income from the States 10y
the Federal Army is having the effect to peo-
pie the territory with settlers opposed to pol
ygamy, and the result must be,-from this
increase and from the gradual change of SEN
timent on the subject among the Mormons
themselves that the voice Of the majority
of the people will pronounce against polyga-
my. Popular sovereignty will outroot
the evil. For the past year or two family
after family has left the modern Sodom, in
order to escape the odous thraldom of the
/ church, while Gentle families have 20 ne in
to take their places as citizens of the Terri
tory. 1t is easy to see how system thus at
war with civilization and Christianity must
give way and disappear. 1t needs no Con,
gressional legislation to do it.

THURsDAY MOANING, .JANuARY !. 1aao.
THE aTAp-poLHa PARTY

sss a
On the 2lst Of December, Thomas g. Davidson,
member Of Congress from louisiana in the course
OF short speech in the House, denominated the
Black Republican party the 7 Tad-Poleu party
saying that they were bat embryo beings, at
present in their first stage Of political existence,
and possessing no vital qualities except such a., !,
when developed, would make them perfect frogs
or, to drop tile smiie, ultra Abolitionsts There IL
world Of truth In what Mr. Davidson so quantity
expressed. a modern Black Republican is but a
political chrysalis that the first ray of political sun
shine must inevitably worm into an Abolitionist.
However strenuously they may deny IT. however
carefully they may seek to conceal it, the prin-
clples enuneiated by that at present powerful
party in the North, if carried out to their legt
mate results, must lead TO conflict with the
rights Of the South, and must end, if they prevail,
in the eventual abolition Of fsayery wherererit now
exists In the Republic. So far, therefore, as the
South Is concerned, il makes little difference
whether Garrison, Fred Douglass, Abby Kelly
are selected as the leaders Of the Republicans, or
that party chooses to follow the counsels of
Seward, Greeley, Grow or the Washburnes The
end of both classes Of these men Is the same but
Garrison and his confederates seek I, arrive at
that end in bold and direct way, while Greeley,
Seward 4 Co. striving to accomplish their puf-
pose by circuitous and subtle policy. Ono wishes
to knock you down and take away your slave by
forces the other desires the privilege Of persuad-
ing your slave to knock you down himself and
escape-or, failing in that, to make the slave so
disaifected and contiImacioss, as to be constant
source Of annoyance and to hedge in your right Of
ownership with 50 many disadvantages and risks as
70 destroy all your enjoyment in your property,
and compel you, in selEdefence, to send him away
yourself The Soatherner, between the Abolition
lists and the Black Republicans, has about tho
same choice that the eel did, when consulted
about its preference as to the manner of perform
ing the ante,enlinary operation of sknning. It Is
settled thing, between both, that We are to be
fayed but we can exercise our choice with res
pect to the manner Of having the hide taken off,
1t is not at all wonderful, then, that the South
views the spread of Republicanism with as much
distrust as she would that of avowed Abolitionism
