Why shouldn't there be a Mormon
revival in Indiana. when the great
Democratic party, in State Con-

attempt to regulate the moral ideas,
appetites or innocent amusements OF
the people by legislation is unwise
and despotic2 If that is not pre-
pairing the way for a Mormon revival,
we don't see bow the way could be
prepared. Why, that resolution is a
regular John the Baptist of Nor
men dispensation. We have never
heard the Ledger denounce tba

trine is debaushing. why don't tht
