NOT loo ElNT.


The temper with which certain Over-zealous
persons are taking up the agitation against Nor
monism threatens mischief. We 90 not mean
mischief TO the Mormons but mischief to the
cause of decency and good government. Even
the President it seems to us, is strongly
tempted TO go too far in his opposition TO
the /" theOcratic power OF the Church" and to
recommend, as remedy against admitted
evils, a course of legislation which might
easily become n very dangerous precedent.
Whenever the United States Government sets
itself in opposition to any church whatever
SO far as it is church-the sharp line
of distinction upon which we have al
ways insisted between secular and spiritual
authority is obliterated, and We start
out in a new road whose end no man
can see. A correspondent. apparently in earn
est writes that polygamy is not the worst fea-
ture of Mormonism. The Latter Day Saints
are incorrigible enemies of American institu-
tons, because in their creed "things temporal
fare of no importance as compared with
things spiritual. The great object of the
Mormon he adds, "is to get to heaven. (.
"The Mormon is taught that this life is of
Every little importance as compared with the
next" III WILL bc euppOscu lbul THESE
principles, which are the fundamental be-
hefs of every religion the world ever
saw and the inspiration of every viItuous
life, are cited to the discredit Of the
Mormons; but our correspondent does seem to
imagine that people who set the eternal above
the temporal cannot be good citizens!
1t will hardly be thought necessary to an
swer such a letter. but it may be cited as an
indication of certain dangerous tendency
toward exaggeration of the rightful authority
of the secular government which it happens
curlousIy enough that many very religious and
many very irreligious persons share IN com

able consequence in the Utah controversy If 1t
lead them TO enter upon crusade against
the Mormon church, or the theocratic
power of the Mormon priesthood. under
the pretext that the influence OF the
States can take no notice whatever OF the
opinions of the Mormons. II cannot apply q
religious test to the qualifications of voters
and holders without gross violation OF
the liberty Of conscience. And If pressure
such as President Hayes suggests should
exclude from the polls and from Office the
whole Mormon population of Utah, the
original settlers Of the Territory and always
an overwhelming majority of the inhabitants
we should have n genuine ease of religious
persecution, resulting, as such violence always
does. in warming the zeal Of the victims aud
