which they reject ?" There are, per.
haps, twenty thousand Jews in this
country, and for their accommodation
/ it is proposed that thirty millions oi
Christians be required to bring down
their system of education to the Jew
ish standard-a modest proposal, tru-
Ily There are, also, several thous-
ands of Atheists and Pantheists-fools,
who say there is no God, and deny
any distinction between right and
wrong. Shall we then, for their ben
eft, exclude from our schools all refer
ence to God, or set up an altar to
"The Unknown God ?" Suppose a
few Christians from this country were
to settle in Mohammedan country,
and acquire the rights of citizenship,
what would be thought of the demand
that, for their accommodation, the
Koran should be banished from all
the schools in the country, and all in
struction in the religion of the land
forbidden? There is much loose talk
about the sacred rights of conscience.
Self preservation is the highest Iaa0
Of the State, as well as of the individ-
ual. A few years ago a great many
of our citizens said they were bound,
in conscience, to support the rebellion;
but the Government said to them,
"You must not do it-stop it," and
they stopped it. Oar Quaker fellow
citizens are disqualified by law, and
restrained from all judicial positions,
because their conscience will not allow
them to administer an oath. Our
law sets apart Sunday as a day Of rest,
and in some of the States at least,
cOmpels the Jew to respect it, by re-
framing from ordinary work, or
amusement Brigham Young talks of
conscience" Suppose, however, he
were to come into Ohio to live, with
his many wives, how long would his
"eonscience" keep him out Of the
penitentiury?

A New State-The Territories.

The House Territorial Committee
have reported in favor of admitting
New Mexico to the great bond OF
brotherhood-as one Of the stars OF
the bright constellation. In 1866 the
population Of NewMexico was %, SIG.
1t it is now, propably, 10000. AT
the former period there were only
1888 of the inhabitants who could
read end write, but the increase is
composed Of people from the States,
most Of whom possess these qualifi-
cations. What proportion Of the
population como under the head of
Americans, it is as yet impossible TO
say, but the great bulk of tho inhabi-
tants are composed Of domesticated
nomad Indians, with an intermiXturo
of Mexicans and Spanish. The new
State would have two Senators and
one Representative.
A proposition to admit Washington
territory into the Union as State is
also pending, and, if New Mexico be
admitted, Washington may be ex-
pected to follow soon after. The
entire population of this northwest
ern territory in 1863, was 1853,
but it is now said to be about 10000.
When these territories are in as
States, Colorado, Montana, Idaho,
Dakotah, Arizona, Wyoming, and
perhaps Alaska, will soon follow, for
with us it is the practice to open the
gates only after "much talkeo," as
the celestial would say bat when
they are once opened they are not
closed until the whole waiting flock
have come into the fold.

Wheat rowing-The Leading Produc-
ing Changes since 1S49

The following, in regard to wheat
producing, is from the Juno report OF
the Department of Agriculture:
Twenty years have wrought chang
es in the list of wheat-producing
States that arc suggestive and evon
startling. Pennsylvania stood at
the head of the list in 1849 she was
sixth in 1859; and in 1869, Of nine
leading States she stood ninth and
last. In 1859, nine States produced
less than 20 per cent. of an aggre.
gate of 173, 5000 bushels in 1869,
nine States yielded 191, 100000 bush
els and California, which is fourth
in 1869, was not found among the
leading nine of ten years ago, while
Minnesota, the seventh, was at that
time scarcely in existence as a State.
The first list is as follows
