Elder JAS. BRowE.
Can the President sIalke Himself
-, A King2 aa.

The country has gone on SO long now
without any attempt by an occupant of
the Office Of President to assume greater
an6 more permanent power. that our
minds are nnaccustomed to think Of such
a thing. To many the bare idea OF such
a thing being possible has never occurr
ed and if it does suggest itself 1t is dis
missed as absurd.
With some of the leading spirits that
rocked the infant cradle Of American
Liberty and laid the foundation of our
Government it was far different. Pat
rick Henry one of the foremost Of the
noble band of patriots-was filled with
apprehension and alarm at the PROPOSE
tion to bestow so much power upon the
Chief Executive Magistrate. Addres-
sing the State Convention Of Virginia, he
sail:
oIf your American Chief be man of
ambition and abilities. how easy it is for
him to render himself absolute! The
army is in his hands, and if he be man
of address, it will be attached to him, and
it will not be the subject of long medita
ton with him to seize the FIRST suspicious
moment to accomplish his design; and,
sir, will the American spirit solely relieve
you when this happens9 *+* Can
ne not, at the head OF his army, heat down
every oppositionp Away with your
President! We shall haue King; the
army ,ral salute him monarch; your mill
tia win leave you and assist in making
him King, and fight against you; and
what have you to oppose this force p
What will then become Of you and your
rights? Will not absolute despotism
cnsue?" -: p" '''s 8 oa
Itmust be confessed Fiat 1t has very
bad look for the army to see It's Lieuten
ant General, at the very first attempt oi
the Presiden: to usurp military control
over State, demanding OF once from
Congress and from the Cornmander-in-
Chief authority to outlaw and to murder
one-half the citizens! .''l'i '-@g
If this thing. is not met on the very
threshold by such rebuke as will war;
the usurpers that their attempt is hope
less, we may soon find military despot
ism established in every State of the Un
ion.-N. Y. Sun.

What they Think of Alfonso in

A letter from Havana, dated Jan. s,
Gays: There is some enthusiasm in the
towns by the Spaniards, over
the accession Of Alfonso tue Twelfth
Among the better informed classes Of
Sraniards here, the opinion ris quite
general that the proclamation of Alton
so has been premature, and that it is
very likely that he will be compelled to
abandon Spain again before the year
expires. There is no change in military
affairs. The number OF available troops
is barely sufficient to prevent the insur-
gents from undertaking any movement
Of magnitude in the Cinco Villas dis.

ment belongs to that body Of troops,

1t is to be hoped that .tllcl Seaate will
substitute for 1t something which is
neither a cheat nor nuisance,
There is probably noionc thing about
which the people OF the State are more

this compensation to fair standard, or
stand convicted ofincompetency to deal

The Latter Day Saints.

Ed. SPIRIT: In reading the public
Journals of the day, we find they are la
boring under a mistaken notion withare
gard to the "Reorganizei Church Of
Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints" or
ganized April 9th, A D. 1860, at Am
boy, Illinois; and are thereby liable to
do US injustice. gi4.s Il. III
1t appears to he the impression that
the "Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints Is branch,
or in some way connected with that
abominable, corrupt institution at Salt
Lake. No greater mistake than this
can exist. ....i}.au s4s. .s
The reorganized church has no rela-
ton! to, nor connection with them. We
utterly deny their authority, we receive
no members from the body, only on
faith, repentanc ana baptism. Neither
is the reorgauized church composed of
those who belong to that, sink OF cor
ruption. There are in the reorganized
church those who were connected with
the church in the days of Joseph Smith
the martyr, who utterly refused to have
any part with that body presided. over
by Brigham Yonng after the introduc
ton of their base system Of polygamy,
which was followed by a system oflying,
perjury. and cunning counterfeiting, and
|is fast terminating in open collision be-
tween them, and the authorities of the
country. There are many who belong
to the reorganized church of Jesus
Chris. OF L. d. S.,that formerly belonged
to other denominations.
In relation to the body in, which
Brigham Young tries to hold controll-
ing influence, as soon as those among
them who love the truth become ac-
quainted with the true state o: affairs,
at Salt Lake, they forsake them, and
many of them come to US and seek ad-
mission into the reorganization, but in
all cases are required to enter by the
door Of baptism.
In consequence Of this, we have more
knowledge of their corruption than any
other people could have. Many OF those
to whom they have revealed their secret
iniquities expecting them to partake in
| it, on finding out their true character
have left them Immediately and come
and Joined the reorganization,
We think we speak advisedly, when
we say that the time is not far. distan,
when every person who is in any way
connected with them, who respects
truth, decency, righteousness, and gooc
order, and before whose eyes istne feal
lof God, will separate from them, whether
in Salt Lake or elsewhere, and let tht
corrupted and corruptors share the fate
that awaits them. so so

A INDUSTRIOUS rRErENcE

A former application OF Gov. Kellogg
of Louisiana, made to the President for
military aid four months since, is used
as the pretext of this invasion of the
legislative chamber of Louisiana. That
application had its effect at the time the
President issued his proclamation Of
warning, and the people submitted
There were four months of peace. A
new state of things has risen, and if it
was attended with danger of domestic
violence the President should have been
requested to interpose. But 20 SUCH
request was made-in fact there was no
danger on which to found the request
/ 1t is nonsense to say that turning five
members out of the Legislative chamber
is protection against domestic vio-
lence How long is such an application
as that made by Gov. Kellogg in force !?
If good for four months it is good for
forty-good for century.
Great stress is laid upon Sheridan's
! assertions that the whole State of Lou.
isiana is given over to lawlessness and
anarchy, and that murder is the natural
and usual form of death in that State.
This is solemnly denied on very high
authority. hahza Ga 9afg
The wrong done has no possible ex-
tenua,ion Iregard this question solely
as solemn question of constitutional
law. No1matter who desired the inter-
ference of the military, it should moi
fhavc been given but in the way of the
Constitution, otherwise it. is an act from
which no citizen has right to withhold
This condemnation. 1t must be rebuked
the instant it is perpetrated. The evil
must be crushed in its infancy, while its
