We fil way feit to be merciful to Tullid-je in con-equenee of his metitai infirmities. Kven when he toll us in the presence of witnesses that he knew nothing of "William and E:ias" hav in any revelation?, and in two week-after week-after "solemnly teit.l.-d ' is public punt that he had known fur mouth tout they had. we pa-sed it as an exhibition ex-hibition of int-ntal aberration. And when he .said to us, ju t previous to start:ng east, that he "had done wiih damned religion of every kind,"' and was merely after money ai,d would follow his p'ole-sion as a ''literary man," we concluded that he would do ho, if he didn't have another cr zy streak, which, it seems, unfortunately he auain has. The Washington Chr"viJe, of July fjth, pub i.-he- a lengthy notice ol ''Lectures ou Utah Affiirs." in which ''Wr. Edward V Tuliidge" is the principal Cirurante. saying ; "Trie senators and representatives, to whom he is rec on mended, have n ran ed tin-Mr. tin-Mr. Tuilidge to open his mis-ion to the nation on Mormon affairs in l)r. Newman's ehu ch on next Thursday evening, at 8 o clock, ou which occa sion Dr J. P. Newman, chaplain of the senate, has kindly c iiisented to take the chair." So the (.;reat "intei-lectu "intei-lectu ili-t" has a 'mis-ion, ' and it is "on Mormon affair';" and it would be well if he lilleil it with more credit to him elf anl his party than the last "mission'' he undertook. But what will the aspiring Eiias and the am bitious William, witli the others whoo f-ou!s th ist fur leading eminence, say when they learn that the ( lir nkle, and doubtless the Iwarncd Doctor and eminent legislators, consider them very small fry, and Tullidgs the great w.ia e of the party "lie was the first man who struck agrinst the theocracy of Brigliam Young in his own dominions." He "was the first mormon reformer." "As early as 1864 he established an indepeudent press iti Utah" (Oh, uuy!) lie swayeu the councils of the "ew Movement;" and he "is now on a tour over the American continent to help to create a sound public opinion on Mormon Mor-mon affairs before any further legislation legisla-tion thereon " All of which the( liro i-ii i-ii le doubtless swallows as gospel truth with the greates imaginable ease. As Tuilidge wil soon be ' played out," it may be that an apology is necessary ne-cessary to our readers lo: devoting so much space to him ; but out of respect for Mr. Colfax and the senators and ' representatives who are being fooled in l this way, we cou d not do other; and then, Or Newman has particular claims upon us, seeing t' at he has stripped and trained for a polemical contest, and has announced his deteimi.iation of coming ail the way from Washington Washing-ton to catt Lak city next mom h, to convert the poor, benighted inhabitants inhabit-ants of Utah back to the faiths whicu long ago the majority of them were convened Horn. |
