SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 9, 1871.
The Salt Lake Herald to-day In leading editorial
denies the statement that poyoamy was not a part
OF the Mormon faith prior to the passage of the act
OF the Territorial Legislature OF Marcn 9. 1852.
1t asserts that plural marriage was practised long
before that period BY the Mormons and that thereby
four out OF thrtyninc members or that Legislature
were practical polygamists ana believed In the doc.

This argument is that polygamy was practised:
but the Herald gives no evidence that it was
approved or authorized by the Mormon Church pre-
vlous to August %, 1882.
Great preparations are making for Thanks giving

What tho Bohemian. Demand.

! The DzienniE PotsNt newspaper, organ OF the
liberals in Gallcia strongly opposes the political
pretsnaions contained in the Bohemian address to
the Austrian government. "rhe Bohemian project"
Il says appears to tend 70 the systematic d!smen-
whether that OF North America or OF Switzerland,
Eould exist for twelvemonth on the principles laid
down In this project, unless, indeed, the
future Parliaments OF Austria arc to have
no real power. The bohemian address
Speaks or the responsibility OF Ministers
And Ohancellors,' IL is true but with such an
Organization as II proposes Austria cannot exist
6nless ministerial responsibility Is treated as dead
letter II, therefore, the Bohemian demands are
mot Intended to bring about the dismemberment OF
Austria they can mean nothing else than revival
OF the absoiutism which existed in Austria up 10
the time OF Metternich. The leading idea
from which the nrst Bohemian declaration started
was that the kingdom Of Bohemia is by right an
Hnurey independent kingdom, being subject TO
hone and having the right OF managing ITS
gown aairs, unless It gave up portion Of this right
Yor the purpose OF acting In Unison with the other
Kingdoms and lands OF the monarchy. Much as
might be said about this right OF complete hdepen.
Wence belonging to the Kingdom OF Bohemia II
submitted to historical criticism, much also de.
pends on the application OF 1t and on the extent 10
(which this independence Is claimed in practice.
Either II might be t0eraby harmless satisfaction to
national vanity or it might lead to subverson OF
the very basis on which Austria has been consti'
tuted OF late.n
