temporal condition is better among the Nor
mons than it was il the Old World, and tley
never learned any thing but submission to tie
dogmas OF the Church and the mandate OF its
apostles.
Polygamy was not part of the Mormon
creed as promulgated by Joe Smith. He ex-
pressly denounced it, and his widow
and sons have discarded the Salt
Lake Mormops because of the adulterous
Practice committed in the name OF the Church.
brigham Young is the founder of the poly
game feature Of the faith. Young has four
brothers all belonging TO this church and
having pluraiity OF wives. Thus is llcen-
tiousness everpleading the cause ofpolygamy,
and women are compelled to consent 10 it ON
the pain Of eternal damnation.
The writer quoted above says:
One-third of The entire adult male popula-
tiOn of Utah is now practicing polvgamy and
in Salt Lake city the proportion is larger. 1t
hangs like terrible pail upon the mothers,
wives, aud daughters of the Saints. Not only
those who have been enfolded in its Shiny em-
brace mourn from day to day their hard lot,
out those who have thus far escaped its polU-
ton, know not how soon the spoier may enter
their hresldeS, and narrowing anxiety dlm9
the luster of their eyes and traces its shadows
upon their faces.
tits an outrageous and blistering shame
that in the last half of this enlightened CEN
tnry. and in our own conntry too, this whole
sale prostitution should be practiced, and our
laws against such fagrant crime should re-
main dead letter on our statute books! But
we believe this institution is destined to 90
down AMI that before long. 1t has been well
said that zone gentle family in a community
of polygamists is better than thousand SER
mons against this colossal crime. One happy
cheerful wife, confident of the undivided al
fection of her husband, is like an angel OF
light in the region of despair" Many such ex-
amples will soon be introduced into that re-
gion by the Pacific Railroad and monnonism
mus. perish. Let this "twin sister of human
bondage" breath is last. And we hope Brig
ham Young may live 10 witness its dying
struggles.

over the earth. Thus are seen all
along the track of time, especially in
the earlier ages of the world, mont.
ments of Gods displeasure at sin.
In some of these events, the hand of
God was visible. God talked with
man. Others were in fulfilment of
prophecy, showing his hand not less
visibly.
Now, that God, in His wisdom, has
ceased to talk with man "face to
face" and to speak to him by His
prophets, as of old, is it rational to
conclude that He has ceased His
government of the world We are
too prone to look to second causes.
God is ilnmutable. Although not
cognizable TO our senses, He reignS,
nevertheless, and His hand is not
less, than ever, IN erery erent rhich
takes place: and His administration
has a special reference to orr we'll
being as moral agents, destined to
live forever.
1t becomes us, therefore, as PEG;
pie. to recognize in those affective
dispensations, national and indiyidu-
al, His corrective rod; to humble
ourselves and turn from our evil
ways. Then, and not till then, may
we hope for any considerable meas
ure of prosperity.

Mr.. EDITOR:
In the last issue of the Canton Maj
is communication on "The Stu
alton" characteristic of its author
Tracing, graphically, the history OF
events from the termination of the
late war to the present time; and
ascribing our deplorable condition
TO its legitimate causes, H.. con
cludes his article with a number
of suggestions, by way of advice,
replete, alike, with sound views OF
political economy, aud correct prin.
ciples of christian philosophy.
Among others, of which all are
eminently practical, there is one,
especially, which ought to be deeply
engravcn on the mind of all people,
viz: Fear God ~; and in this con-
nectiCn is sentiment worthy to be
written in letters OF gold, namely,
"Ne permanent prosperity can be
attained without a healthy state Of
public morals, founded on Christian
faith" This sentiment recognizes
the doctrine of Divine Providence
the great truth that God governs the
world; a truth illustrated in the
dealings of God with man from his
earliest existence to the present hour.
The history of every nation which
exists, or has existed, is in proof.
that God not only approves Of virtue,
and disapproves of vice, but that
He places His signature on the one
aud on the other. Witness, for exam
pie, the flood which destroyed the
"world of the ungodly." Behold the
fate of those wicked cities, Sodom
and Gomorrah their site-the Dead
Seals a perpetual and melancholy
memorial of Gods wrath. See his
dealings with his chosen people-the
Israelites-in their journeyings from
Egypt to Canaan, and all along their
history until it eliminated in a grand
catastrophe-the destruction of their
beloved city, the overthrow of their
national politv, and tier dispersion
