PERHArs, after all, we shall have to
rely on the fashionable drcs,makers to
deal the death blow of polygamy. A
salt Lake City correspondent says that
one of the chief causes of disiilection in
Mormondom is the introduction of FASH
ionable dressmaking and the consequent
creation of taste among the Mormon
women for fnery. They have discovered
that where man has half dozen wives
II is impossible for him to foot all the
millinery and dressmaking bills, and con
scquently number of the ambitious
have become warm advocates of mon.
ogamy, as they perceive such taste en-
ables them To crafty the dress propensity.
Very few of the Mormons are able to pay
for the fashionable costuming of five or
ten wives. Before bustles aud other
paraphernalia were introduced the saints
had AN easy time, AS their wives dressed
in the coarsest material. Let Utah be
colonized by fashionable drcssmakers, by
all means.

Our African popuIation,

The African race in this country have
their freedom, and equality before the law
with The white man, but they are not con
tent A conspiracy covering nineteen
counties il Georgia, has just been discov-
cred, which was to have been carried into
effect on Friday Of last week, for the MUIR

while the handsome women were to be
reserved for a fate worse than death.
Eighty Of the ringleader have been ar
rested and win be tried. The discovery
was made through the confession Of one
Of the cOuspirators. This diaboIical plot
exceeds anything in that line which has
occurred since the bloody Nat Turner in
surrection in Virginia. The excitemeut
in Georgia is very great but peace and
order have boon maintained.
At negro convention recently held in

The white people Of Georgia, nerved to
desperate resolve by these demonstrations
Of murdcrous design by the negroes in

the dreadful ordeal, resolved to make short

ringleaders and prevent an actual out.
break. One shudders to think Of the
slaughter which might have been COM
mitted, but which was happily prevented
by the timely discovery Of the plot, plot
which had il been attempted, must have
resulted in the annihilation Of every
negro within reach Of the Infatuated
white pOpulace. The Governor ofthe State
acted with great prudence, and as the
ringleaders are in prison and will be
brought to justice, the danger to the peace
Of the State is now over The affair ha.
left behind it, however, feeling no way

The Geological Garden, Of Philadelphia,
is very justly an object of pride to that
city. The prime motive Of those who
founded it, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
was to add an attractive, instructive and
perfectly innocent place Of amusement aud
recreation to the city Of Philadelphia.
For the qualification Of thousands Of her
citizens who have no other time to visit it,
the Garden is kept open on Sundays, and
there are those who would close il ON those
days. Such illiberal and unreasouing Sab
batarians belong to that class Of moralists
who have zeal without knowledge, and
unfortunately are hindrance to the very
cause they would advance.
