POLYGAMY.

For more than q hundred years
our government haa dealt with the
Indians, and now it is proposed to
do Justice TO the remnant BY edu-
eating their children. For nearly
as long the evil Of slavery was treat
od ns a necessary one, and III that
time this most progressive of all ma
tions presesented TO the world the
strange contradiction Of Christian
culture and a degrading hcathcnish
custom For years there has been
rapidly expanding among the noun
tains of the Far West this affection,
which is but an outcropping Of the
degraded condition Of remote antiq-
uity, and ut variance with the prin-
ciples OF our government. The bet
ter element OF the American people
are not only hoping and praying but
working earnestly for the ameliora-
ton of the Indian condition, and
an increase of his opportunities.
Although the eradication OF hunan
slavery conyulsed the nation IN the
very throes of death, Che government

Tit harmony In the republican party
OF Missouri is quite touching to behold.
Mr.. Chauncey l. t'Illey is the chairman
of the state executive committee, and is
opposed to holding a state convention.
He say some pretty hard things of
those republicans who do not agree
with him-for instance, that the Van
Horn crowd are relics OF the whisky
ring. &c. In return the Journal
remarks: 1.-THE republicans of Missouri
are impatient under the yoke which
Dictator Filley has for years kept upon
their necks, and they do not intend to
wear it longer. They believe the time
has cems to compel him to lay aside the
lash which he has so long lourished
over the party. He must take his place
as 3 republican worker and be content
to carry out the will OF the majority. or
he must 60 overheard. The fact is Mr..
Filley has become a political crank. and
he is no longer fitted for a leader. His
abuse OF leading republicans, and his
assumption OF all credit for advantages
heretofore obtained by the republican
party in Missouri owe its opponents,
are the veriest nonsense, aud may be
passed over as the rawlings of a shallow
egotlst who imagines the world would
come to an end at once il he were not
here to direct it's affairs. The republic
cans of every congressional district, and
Of every county. if possible, should as
speedily as possible demand that a call
be issued for u state convention. That
once assembled a quickly relegate Mr..
Filley to the place where he beiones-in
tho ranks" The st. Joseph Herald says:
-''Ihe simple TACT is that Mr.. Filley, as
chairman OF the statc committee, sets him
self in defiance of the will of two. tn: I'd 3
Of the republicans of the state. and by
refusing to issue a call denies them the
right OF holding a state convention TO
determine upon a ticket. platform, or
course OF action" And he Springfield
Journal observes:-"There are no indi-
yiduals anywhere clothed with the
authority to determine that the Repub-
lican party shall abdieate. Whatever
may be the opinions OF tho members OF
the state committee. they have no war
rant for arbitrarily refusing to permit
the republicans Of the state to meet in
convention and determ,ne Tor themselves
the policy to be pursued. We favor a
convention because we want q state
ticket to support F; and thus IS the feeling
