The NIormons and their Policy

The telegraph reports that Senator Trumbul
of Illinois. recently visited Brigham Young ut
Salt Lake, and held n conversation with him ON
the policy OF the Mormons. During the inter-
view, says the telegraph, he told the Senator
that he would probably hear of some Federal
officials being put out of the Territory. If it was
done he might be sure it was for good and suff-
cient reasons. Judge Trumbull advised him.
before taking such n step, to make known his
grievances to President Grant, who will not
permit a violation Of the law to 90 UNPUBLISHED.
He said it will not be safe to modest public officers
in the discharge OF their duties. Brigham Young
said that Grant had removed only Mormon officers
in Utah, and for no other reasons except that
they were Mormons. Brigham further declares,
that they would not obey the law of Congress
prohibiting polygamy, because Congress had no
right to interfere in their matters. Judge Trum-
bull replied, declining to discuss the subject, but
said that the law, at all events, must be upheld
and obeyed. Young's declaration caused consider
able sensation among the members of the party.
The Mormons treated the excursionists with the
cold, constrained politeness that repels rather
than invites advances"

from Old Testament examples, and plant them
selves upon it as of divine right and religious
duty. 1t is equally certain that the United
States cannot much longer permit an institution
in violation of law and so incompatible with the
spirit of the age and the genius of our people to
exist. On the subject of polygamy, argument
has been closed for centuries among enlightened
nations, and in all the States and common-law
communities no odense is more deprecated or
rigidly punished. The Mormons, therefore, liv-
ing under the laws of the United States, cannot
in decency be allowed, under the plea of religion
or conscience, to do that for which other citizens
are punished as felons. 1t is n pity that they
cannot see this and correct the evil, for in truth
they have done much, under the management of
Brigham Young, to deserve the good wishes of
mankind. A more Industrious, frugal and tenn
perate people can nowhere be found, and we
should be sorry to see them in such defiance of
as to bring sure destruction upon the pleas
ant places they have rescued from the desert,
We would add here that all the Mormons do
not believe in or practice polygamy, and that
the question comes to n final issue with
the United States authorities. it will be found
that a portion, perhaps a majority, of the Nor
pons will condemn the tencts and practice of
the leaders of their sect. The conference between
tile Mormon President and Senator Trumbull
that a conflict will soon take place, the
result of which will doubtless be that the Nor
mons will be worsted, and compelled to conform
10 the laws.
