Be . more difficult thing to accomplish
than the removal Of the Seminole Indians
was to our Government. We give the
latest invention on the subject from .
Boston Yankee, and while the Govern
ment and the religionists of the country
find themselves unequal to the task of
putting down the monster (MOrmonism)
it is left to the prolific brain of a de-
scendant of the Pilgrims to invent the
plan. Here it i:
"a Boston publishing house v i'll soon

''Unele Toms Cabin" awoke the world
TO the horror of slavery. Thus does the
novel writer become of importance TO
the State-a last resort when all other
agencies fail those who would rid the
world of wiekedness"
This invention Is not very complimen.
tary to the almighty power OF truth
We suppose after the novel gets good

public mind is inhamed sufficiently, thai
President Arthur will convene his Cabi

not freeing the Mormons, but putting il
a state. of slavery as Lincoln did TIN
white people of the th-about eigh
millions in number.
If the Cabinet would enslave tn
Mormon men, especially the leaders, AM

will go, and then ont of the Treasury o
the United States, until they could fin

Cor Arthur fix up a territorial constitu
zion, as he did for Mississippi, and max
them adopt it, of their own free viii
but under federal power? This thin
might have been done long ago and tn
moral and religious people of the Unite

wives as they please. Let us see ho'

also Of David Dudley and Cyrus W. Field.
THIS little work, published at pittsville,

trait oi Mr.. Sedgwick, representing him
as wearing tho old.iashionod queue, while
the portrait In the House gives picture

This discovery brings to light another,
equally interesting, in regard to the one
speaker, the place for whoee portrait Is still
vacant That speaker Haa, as indicated
above, Nathaniel Macon, OF North Caro-.

members for mis- portrait brought to light
tho fact that he had atCaiily refused during

tho sketch summarily destroyed, which
was done. This, 1t seems, was not bis only

unmarked by any monument except pile
