An Abolition Disunion Senator
Attacks General Nc Cook


Mr.. Sumner; the notorious Abolition
Disunion. Senator from Massachusetts,,
made an indecent attack yesterday upon
Gen. McCook. of this city, and upon the
Provost Marshal of Louisville, because
they, like sensible. patriotic men, devoted
to the Union aud the Constitution, and
to the best interests Of their country.
have surrendered fugitive slaves to their
owners. Sumper, q number of years
ago, when asked by Senator il he would
obey that clause in the Constitution which
declared fugitives from service shall be
surrendered, replied, "Is thy servant a
dog that he should do this e.hing?" He
considers man a dog who obeys the
Constitution. This man Sumner also in
dulged in bitter vituperation Of Generals
Hooker, Buell. and Halleck, as he had
previously of others of our best officers.
He is constantly pouring Ere of slang
into the rear of our Generals by his
shameful and ribald tongue. He is an
open advocate for the destruction Of the
Union, and yet he is allowed to get mp in
the Senate day after day and assail those
who are fighting for it in the field, risking
their lives where he would not hozard the
most minute portion of his cowardly
person. "e s+ fl ese pifa- sEt

British Abolition lmpertinence

i The last. steamers news from England
contained IAN item to the effect that a
| tdepntation from the British and Foreign
Anti Slavery Society had waited on Mr.
Adams, the american Minister in Eng
land, and expressed the hope that the
restoration of the Union would be found
ed upon the abolition of slavery as the
true cause of othe strife."s ,.o., ss4
If they had said the abolition of Aboi-
tionism, they would have bit the truth ex
actly.- Slavery has just as much to co
with the strife-caused it just as much
aud no more than money causes the rob-
berries of the world It would be as sens
ible to abolish money in order to pu,
down robbery. as it would to abolish
slavery for its connection with our trou-
bles. The way is to hang the robbers
and put down the Abolitionists as well al
the Secessionists.
The call of the deputstion was . grea,
piece: of imperlinence, which the Ameri
can Minister ought, but did not have
spirit enough, to rebuke. As the New

The Latter-Day Saints.

We feel grati6ed at the passage by the
House of Representatives of the bill to
prohibit, prevent and punish polygamy ia
the Territory of Utah-makiug the fact
of having more wives than one in that
region an act contrary to the Constitu-
tion. That the bill will pass the Senate
and receive the signature of the Presi.
dent, we do not entertain doubt; and
then it will follow that our friends and
fellow citizens the Latter~day Saints,
must either turn loose their supernumera
'ry spouses. or prepare to feel the ven
geance of highly moral aud justly out
ragged people. That body of men re-
siding not more than two or three thous-
and miles from us-and with whom we
have hourly connection by magnetic tele
graph-should be permitted to practice
such horrible crimes, and set SO evil an
example, is most 'intoierable and not to
be endured;" and we sincerely hope thst
the President-than whom none can be
more thoroughly convinced that one wo
man is enough for one man-will declare
war Immediately, call on the ministers of
the Gospel to blow the gathering trump
let, and send on highly recti6ed army,
made up of such troops as the Rev. Col
Moody enlisted and for the sake of their
eternal welfare, turn the surplus wives of
Utah into grass widows us rapidly as
possible. fs@ eoE 60 9ee+ Il Gss
The President will doubtless, 10 this
case, precede the entrance of the army
into the enemy's country by q proclama
tion of universal divorce. rsThen. the
/ wives"--to borrow, with o slight altera
tioD, the words of an eminent writer on
civilization--"near our armies, will come
to us; those in the interior will know in q

opportunity offers. prepare to take them.
Instantly the armies that confront you
must run home to protect their families.
and must stay there. aud your enemies
will disappear Then all will be peace
and love and harmony and union.
We expected this me asure. but we con

one great political aud moral evil was

Our Market.

Our market is very poorly supplied,
and prices are very high. This is attrib-
uiable to the fact that a great many
market-people are prevented from COM
ing in by the gueuiIas. We wish to
remind the poor that this state Of things
has been brought about and is kept up
by wealthy and active Seccssionists in
this city, who countenancc the guerrillas
in their outrages, and who could put a
stop TO their operations in this county
tomorrow, if they chose. These men do
not suffer for they have means to pay
three or four prices, and they can get
supplies privately, but the poor suffer
severely. Let the blame rest ON the
guilty. They shall be remembered
