E-The Montpelier Argus severely
arraigns the Middlebury Women's TEN.
perance Union and annihilates the Repub.
lican party in the following summary
manner
The general cussedness Of ramrod ma
turo is now being developed at Middle.
bury, where tho Women's Temperance
Society has gone into the liquor law pros
ecuting business. a fact that demonstrates
them as possessing more brass than brains.
Do not know as we regret it, though, for
it may be the means OF convincing some
people over there that it is not best to
have the political status of that region go
one-sided. The republican party of Yer.
mont is alone responsible for our liquor
law, and those who like the law will
doubtless continue to vote that ticket
The ladies of Middlebury think they
have a right to live in decent town, and
utterly deny the right of any shiftless
loaier to start rum hole and convert the
place into pandemonium of sots. A
paper, which, like the Argus, gets its
living by appealing to the baser nature Of
its readers, could not of course, DO ex
pccted to take a different view from that
which it expresses 1t was seldom known
to view anything from the standpoint Of
christian morality and right. Its utter.
ances on the temperance question arc
perfectly consistent with those which i,
used TO put forth so blatantly Oh the
question Of human slavery. The right
sentiment Of the country was too much
for the Argus then, and it will be SO now
The idea that mothers and wives have nc
rights that q rumseler is bound to res
pect, and that they must sit dumb ant
helpless, aud see their husbands and SONS
exposed to the temptations Of intemperanc,
and falling from the high estate Of man
hood to become curses 10 all dependent
upon them. is one unworthy an enlight
cd age and christian country. No man
will for moment uphold the right tc
deal in alcoholic beverages unless he
has become mental idiot from indul
gence in them, or u moral one from read
ing the Argus. The ladies Of Middle
bury are in earnest, and when they reat
such utterances as the above lot then
consider from what source they come ant
take courage. They will have plenty o
aid, and we trust that the "cussedness o
the ramiod nature" will rage until Mid
} dlebury shall become temperance town

A New Constitution for Spain

The Spanish monarchy seeks to
strengthen itself by the very legitimate
method of providing wise constitutional
government. A new constitution has
been promulgated for adoption, which GER
tainly is very great improvement upon
anything yet known as a government uu.
der the mutiform monarchies-or better
termed anarchies of that ill.governed
country. If we except the short.lived
republican form Of government which only
survived long enough to manifest its
weakness, Spain has scarcely had a re-
spectacle government since the time Of
Ferdinand and Isabella, The new cou
stitution now under discussion and likely
to be adopted, has these features: The
senate is to consist of three hundred mem.
bers, embracing senators holding their
seats by hereditary right, containing all
Spanish grandees having incomes of not
less than ten thousand dollars annually !;
senators elected by popular corporations,
and senators nominated by the crown
The lower chamber is to have ont deputy
for every five thousand of the population
and the members ale to be elected every
five years Both the lower chamber and
the elected portion Of the senate may BIO
dissolved at the pleasure of the king. 1t
is provided, however, in such case, that
he must call new assembly within three
months after propagation.
The royal prerogatives are well provided
for, as for Instance, the king has the pow
or Of appointing the president and vice.
president of both chambers, and has the
privilege of veto. prerogativo which has
been found to be very desirable under
our best constitutional governments. Pro-
vision is made that no citizen Of Spain
can be banished, and all persons arrested
shall have the right TO be brought before
proper tribunal within three days. II
is also thought that the article embody
ing the principle OF religious liberty vii
be incorporated before final adoption o.
the instrument. Certainly without such
a provision, it could hardly meet with
appreciation among any considerable nun
Der of liberty -loving Americans, The
provision that either the Cortez or the
king may suspend constitutional guaran'
tees Of the liberty Of the subject, is the
most unpleasant matter which we have
contemplated, and perhaps that may moi
be much worse than the similar provis
ions in our own loved government
} If this constitution is what the frs
fragmentary description of it gives us tC
suppose, We may well congratulate oul
friends beyond the waters.

existence Many have doubted, and
those doubts have been expressed various
ly. The blind cropping for light and the
vagaries Of religious experience in all
ages have illustrated this doubt, We may
be free from it, but many are not. The SO.
called science which asserts that there is
no existence beyond this life has rendered
the perplexities even greater, Where
shall we find an answer to this doubt
Christ is that answer. He is revelation
of what that doubt denies Once give
assent to The evidence which witnesses
him as divine and the difficulty is over.
Then fundamental doubt is impossible.
Second Can the divine and human enter
into relations with one another. The
vagaries of the pagans have only
disclosed desire to have this problem
solved affirmatively. Question philoso.
ply upon this subject and she answers
only doubtfully or negatively. Where
shall we find an answer In Christ
God was tabernacled in the flesh and
that is the answer. We know not how
but we do know the reality.
Third. What is to become Of this com.
pick being, partly flesh, partly spirit
which we call "myself." This problem
has agitated mankind through all ages
Where shall We look for an answer? The
souls answer is only that it has longing
for something higher and beyond Ash
science and she replies, 81 do not know
Some mysterious life principle passe,
away from the body at dissolution, but
further | cannot tell" Is there no trace
Of recovery of this body2 II can fine
none" But we can find an answer il
Christ, in his historic existence.
Fourth. Is there really any common
center Of the human race? This question
is perplexing one. Science has answer
ed it both ways and it is still an oper
question. Ethnology, our sclfshness
nationalitios, compilations, religions
wars and jealousios have rendered tn
perplexities still greater. And we or,
out with great earnestness, Is there an
brotherhood Of interest in humanity
Yes there is Christ stands among us
brother to all He unitcs mankind in
universal brotherhood. In conclusion
then, is not the claim viadicatcd tina
Christ is the light Of the world? TIL
closing was a practical enforcement of tn
lesson taught.

factory is, il it will explain, in a
tangible form, the connection the higher
authorities OF the Mormon iniquity had
with the transaction. Lee ought not to
escape, but if the responsibility for the
crime rests back of him, as is generally
supposed, it is of the utmost importance
that it be fully fixed and the guilty par
ties punished.
The details OF the terrible affair are
given as follows: The murders took
place in September, 1857, eighteen years
ago, A party.of emigrants numbering one
hundred and forty with women and chill.
dren were passing through the southern
portion Of the Mormon country with their
wagons and animals on the way to the
southern portion Of California. When
near Mormon settlement they were sud-
denly attacked by what was at first sup.
posed to be Indians. The emigrants at
once formed "corral" by driving their
wagons around in circle, and from be.
hind this barricade made gallant dc.
fence for two or three days, when Nor.
mon bishop" came to them and promised
that if they would give up their arms
they should 60 on their way in peace
knowing that the Mormons had the In.
dams under complete,control, and not sus.
pecting the treachery of tho former, the
emigrants acceded to the proposition. Nc
sooner was this done than the Indians
recommended their firing and did not stoI
their bloody work until all of the now I'm
armed emigrants were murdered, excep
dozen or twenty children who were tax
en- by the Mormons to bring up in theil
church. 1t is expected to prove tha
more than half the pretended Indian
were Mormons 1t can easily be showr
that by far the greatest portion of tn,
plumber Of the emigrants was taken by
the Mormons TO their settlement
An attempt was made by Unite,
States officials to punish this dreadful
deed, but Brigham Young, who was thel
and for years aiterward in the fulnes
Of his power, forbid all investigation int,
that as well as into host of other muir
ders undoubtedly committed by his au
thority or sanction. A monument erect
ed by United States officers to mark tn,
spot Of the massacre was torn down b,
the Mormons. President Buchanan, il
1858, made feeble attempt to asser
the authority of the Government. III
sent the 9th Regular Infantry, with SOM
additional force, to Salt Lake City, bu
as on their arrivarS echo Canon, few
miles this side of the city, they found
force Of twenty thousand Mormons, unde
the command OF Lieut.. General Wells O
the Mormon militia, prepared to oppos
their farther progress, they came to a halt
Here the United States troops wer
tainted with cowardicc, and grossly in
suited daily by the Mormons. Col. AL
bert Sidney johnson of tho 9th Infantry
who commanded, quietly prepared for tn
attack. He and his men were furious
and would have scattered the vagabond
who opposed them to the four winds, Blu

been made a courier arrived from Blu
