England must not think, because Mexico is

in Utah, comes to the following wise conclu-
sion We have our own theory about the eff
feet the railroad will have upon this Terri
tory and people. and we feel assured that
time viii! bring us satisfactory evidences of
its correctness. We may say, however, that
if the railroad affords easy facilities for those
who are not Latter Day Saints to emigrate
to this Territory, it also presents equally
good opportunities for them to take their de-
parturc. The Same railroad that brings them
can, with equal ease, carry them away again.

SCHUYLER CoLFAx-AN INCIDENT
: here is an incident in the life of Schuyler
Coifax which will be viewed now with es-
rccial interest. On June 81, 1856. Mr.. Col
FAX delivered 4 remarkable address on the
Bogus Laws OF Nebraska" which was a
-o.d-for-word quotation. clause after clause,
ri the infamous code of that territory, with
explanations Of its operations. One clause
in this monstrous system of laws declared it
to be q" illegal for any person to say tina, i.
was wrong to hold slaves" and subjected
that offence to the penalty of wearing a
tall and chain to the ankle" To give point
10 his speech, Mr.. Colfax produced from
his desk one of the regulation iron balls
reiehing thirty pounds, and apologizing for
tee six feet of chain belonging to it. MI.
Alexander H. Stevens, the subsequent Vice
President Of the Confederacy, desired to in
srect the article, when Mr.. Colfax courte-
ousiy handed it to the gentleman, and
obliged him to hold It while the South Beaa
printer explained its use.
This reniniscence illustrates we'll the war
vi ich SO short time ago the friends of free
dom were necessitated to wee against slar-
c-y and the brutality of the system ttey at
tackled. Mr Colfax's practical method Of
a-gumart, and his shrewd but courteous
-':ategy. forcing Mr.. Stevens into the posi-
on of an assistant lecturer on the barbarism
- slavery, are eminent characteristics Of the
Isan.-Phi2a. Press
