these so-ealled extraordinary expenditures are

Z" States and avcnge the murder of the
"prophet Joseph Smith"
We have this upon the testimony of one
who has taken the oath, and do not all the
facts In Mormon history show that ii is
more than probable that the statement lie
true We know that Mormonism IL max
ing rapid strides In wealth, power and
numbers is it, therefore, wise policy to
defer the inevitable struggle Docs not
wisdom, rather, dictate that the monster
shall be grappled with at once ? We de-
luded ourselves, for years, with the belief
that the threats of the south to secedc were
mere bragadocio. The south dcluded 1t
self with the idea that we, ut the north,
were q set of cringing towards, would,
yield to all of their demand, would let the
Union be dissolved without lifting a finger
for its preservation. What those decisions
have cost the country may be seen in the
devastated impoverished SOUTH the deso-
OF taxation and the enormous public debt.
There we're reasons, perhaps, why the dclu-
sion should have existed in that case. The
north and south did not properly appreciate
each other and did not take pains to inform
themselves az TO the facts. With this Nor
mon question it is different. We know the
facts, and have known them, to n greater
or less extent, for years. We arc pledged
to solve this problem and to dispose Of this
question forever The longer it is deferred
the more difficult II will be. Mormonism,
political Mormonism, is nothing more OF
less than treason 10 and rebellion against
the United States. II has been growing
and increasing these twenty years, when il

HOPE AT LAST.

It would seem that Congress had, at last,
lctakcn itself to consider the subjects Of
rctrcnchment and reform, and that there is
an earnest attempt on the part of some Of
the leading members, at least, to decrease,
rather than to increase, the burthens of the
increase of salary act hangs fire, and that
m additional appropriation Of four or five
million of dollars has been made to the
navy department, but, as we have said, the
trenchmcnt, the cutting down of estimates,
and no increase of taxation. Instead of
passing the bill, asked for by the secretary
Of the treasury, looking to large increase
of taxation. reports were presented from
Tho o"'>'.'''''o"o nm concentrations and wava
and means calling for large decrease in
the estimates. These reports were in the
form of resolutions, and passed the House
without division. The resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Dawes, from tho committee
of ways and means, covers the whole
ground, and instructs the heads of the sew
eral departments "to revise their estimates
of expenditures for the next fiscal year
with the view, in the changed condition of
the country, to the reduction thereon and
to report the same to the House, to the end
that AL possible efforts at reduction be ex-
hausted before new burdens be imposed on
the people" This is wise and statesman
like way of meeting the question. The
secretary of the treasury asks that the peo-
pie shall be burthened by forty million of
dollars of taxation, which is answered by
the demand that the expenditures of the
government shall be decreased by more
than that amount. To start with, the fact
was shown that the estimates for the cur
rent year exceeded those of last year by
some fifteen million dollars. Items, almost
innumerable, are pointed out, that would
he cxtravagant at any time, but which are
almost an outrage upon the people in the
present condition of the country. 1t was
clearly shown that instead of this extra
taxation, more than that amount could he
saved without detrimcnt to the interests of
the country. The prompt passage of the
resolution indicates the feeling of tho
House, as it certainly does of the country
and we have, moreover, the pleasing as
surancc that at least thrce-fourths of the
members are in earnest on the subject, and
mean retrenchment and economy. We
trust so. If Congress will accomplish
these results, we can forgive them fol
much Of mistaken and wrong action.

to me that, admitting all he does Of the in
