A CHANCE FOR THE "ANxIoNs AMI
ARMLEss" LOWELL GIRLs.-Brigban
Young has thoughts of compassion
towards the Lowell factory girls, as
witness the passage from his last con.
ference address:
"1he last time | was in the CITY OF
Lowell, there were fourteen Thousand
more females than males in that one
city. This is many years ago. They
live and die in single state. and are
forgotten. Have they filled the meas
ure OF their creation, and accomplish
ed the designs of heaven in brinpino
them upon the earth? No, they have
not. Two thousand good, God-fear-
ing men should 60 there, and take to
themselves seven wives apiece. 1t is
written In the Bible, and in that
DAY, seven women shall lay hold of
one man, saying we shall eat our own
bread, and wear our own apparel on
ly let us be called by thy name to
take away our reproach.' The gov
eminent of the United States do not
intend Int that that prophecy shall be full.

Coy. Walker of Florida, in his mes
sage to the legislature, closes his ar
gument against the constitutional
amendment with this passionate ap-
peal: "Alter taking out all the pro-
scribed officers, there will not be
enough left to order elections to fill
the vacancies, and military govern,
ment will become a necessity. And
who are those whom we are asked
thus to disgrace with official disfran-
chlSement? Are they not those
whose experience and abilities are
most necessary to the State in this her
hour OF trouble? Are they not those
whom we have always regarded as
the very best men in our land? Are
they not those whom we have loved
and trusted above all other men in
the state? Are they not those. in
thousands Of instances, who witnessed
the act OF secession with bleeding
hearts, and engaged in the rebellion
only out Of Difference to the will of
their state? Are they not those who
sacrificed themselves to serve theiI
state? And will their state now turn
round and repay their devotion by
putting mark Of infamy upon them
Perish forever so base a thought! If
they are to be disfranchised, let it be
by no act of ours"
The constitutional amendment has
had hard time in the lower brancl
OF the Oregon legislature. Some
time ago both branches of the legisla
ture ratified the amendment, but at
terward the house unseated two Unio1
members, and the detection of an
other Union member enabled the dem
ocrats to carry by one vote a resoIu
ton resembling the former action
This tickle Unionist, however, has
since returned to his party, and thu
latest action was a reconsideration
OF the vote which expressed disap
proval Of the ratification. So Oregor
IS among the states that have ratified
the amendment.

tunate man survived, and was carried
to Salt Lake City, where he remained

lions, last week, but retailers, with
their usual aversion to marking down
goods, refused to pay any attention to
the decline, and consumers conse.
quently received no benefit from the
change. If the present duIlness of
business continues much longer, how
ever, there will be panic in the mar
kets that will bring down the prices
with crash. Spectators in produce
have been accommodating large stocks
with the object of putting up prices,
and realizing large profits; but the
extreme dizziness of trade has foiled
them in their purpose, and MANY of
them are now obliged to sell at what
ever they can get in order to meet
their liabilities.
