THEIR DESIGNS ON ARIZONA.
A Dangerous Power i'm h Republic.

The MormOns Lav planted colonies in
Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, and New Mex
leo, and now hold the balance of power in
the former Territories, being able to die
tate the policy of their delegates to a
greater OF less extent. The New Mexico
colony, though small, received great en-
enlargement through Axtell. Most Of the
converts from the Southern States were
sent into that Territory. The deposine of
Axtell temporarily thwarted their plans in
that direction, but their designs on Arizona
are becoming more apparent. Within the
past two years at least | 900 Mormons have
been colonized in Maricopa county, where
a movement is now on foot for the removal
Of the capital from Prescott. Apostle
Snow, and John W. Snow, are now in the
Arizona settlements for the purpose of en-
gineering this scheme. With Utah already
in their possession, and three other Terri
tories virtually SO, it can easily be seen
that a dangerous power is growing up right
In the heart of tae Republic. Polygamy
has been too long regarded as a joke by the
people of the United States, but the
iniquity of the institution may become
more apparent when they are brought face
to face with it, as they were with slavery.
