The disposition of the people of Amerca seems to have the general direction toward either reiligious, political or socialsensations which are of periodic action and take the form of a velcaao im according to the symptomatic condition, or the circumstances arising in the national system, the diagnosis of which erup-tion'it is as difficult to accurately de-termine as the result that may ensue. The Chinese were first encouraged to migrate to the Occident and their advent was loudly heralded and ap-- ; plauded because they could serve the purpose of the time. They were docile, tractable and their employment economical: their services were sought, for precisely the same reasons that the negro was introduced to the cotton and rice plantation of the south; for expediency ability, convenience and supposed pecuniary advantage. The agitation the negro problem began on an assumed great moral principle and continued until that race has not only leen relieved from tht thralldom of slavery but has been endowed with the highest privilege of man by the gift of the elective; franchise, which makes his decision, as expressed in the ballot box, equal to the greatest and most gifted in the land. His vote can counteract the effect of the judgment of the Issuecl mwuiwg,. (Mowdaya fwrj Junction Pbistino Associatioh Incorporated.) . OJtct xmtA tOt lf& Srttt, fcfteww Totrng and ftomklM.

YQ AMY PETITIONS ANTI-PO- L An Idaho- - exchange makes the statement that petitions have been numerously signed and forwarded to members . of Congress by ladies of every section, and of nearly every locality in the Union, beseeching Con- gross to enact such laws as will make Faw of 1862 effect-the ami. . Tlie number of these- petitions b already up into the thousands, and till they come, Among them are ' two from the ladies of Idaho Territory one of which is front the ladies f Boise City. These two last named petition have bee received by Senator Mitchell, with several others from various sections of Oregoa, From which it appears that the "surviving twin" mwt go. What with the act of 1862, the trial of George Reynolds and the- upholding of the law by the Supreme Court, we thought the enactment "effective" enough for present purposes. What is it tiifct tnose females wh have signed as above stated wanlt It is already shown that polygamic can be J tried and convicted under the law as it stands, and that no mortal power Fiort. of the Executive pardon can .. prevent the punishment being Hn summated. Is not this enough?. Or if not, why not specify whatr'else is demanded? If it is desired t extend y - : - the punishment substituting hanging for imprisonment and banishment for fines, for instance why not it in those- petitions- and not make a request as that the law of 1862 be made "effective." It seems to us that these ladies are IF the track. They are sated with stories of the enormities attend- . ing the prrctice of polygamy in Utah, just as the Abolitionists of the North used1 to cram themselves with the imaginary outrages constantly perpetrated upon- the blacks in the South In their mind's eye they per- haps see their sisters in Utah groaning under the bondage forced upon by - so-sta- - . mem trie lords oi - creDy ation, and their mental ears are no doubt constantly assailed by the exn clamations and clamors of the polygamous wives and children of Utah which burden every breeze. : And something ' must be. s done. Undoubtedly. The male of this benighted Territory who 'wield the despot's rod of iron over the persecuted and despised females who- - form, a half or more of the "Mormon" church, must be punished, and in their punishment the system which they preach and practise must be scattered to the four winds. We would advise the ladies who are so solicitous for the welfare of their sex in Utah, that the "slavery" of which thev' complain exists only in their imagination; that polygamous marriages are generally entered into with the expressed or implied assent of both the contracting parties; that coercion is never thought of, and that the woman who marries a married man is always aware of his social , status. That - condition in life which parties enter into freely, voluntarily and intelligently, con tains cone of the elements of slavery or despotism, and if ignorance, darkness or superstition are the basis upon which the polygamic system rests, it strikes us thai books, newspapers and other methods of enlightenment would go further towards producing the change so eagerly sought than would executions, imprisonments, banishments or fines. The "Mormons" do not intrude their religious system upon the highly moral people of Idaho and Oregon or any other portion of this pure and upright nation. They are content to-- confine their practices to their own communities, leaving even their members free and untrammeled in their choice of acceptance or rejecwoe-stricke- sav-'age- " tion. With the attrition produced with the civilized, enlightened and moral outsiders, polygamy must dwindle and eventually die if it be so inferior to the methods arrayed against it as is claimed;, for in the sharp conflicts between social practices and publicly advocated doctrines, the fittest will in the end survive. Give us less instead of more law; or at least, be-- ! fore adopting the latter plan, obtain a few signatures from some of the "unfortunates" who are subjected to the "bondage" complained of. by contact :;ea t.-n.- 1 ' LCAOINQ HOTIL, Ogden City, .Ci;-:ia- f the i lias teen: lodged in tl.e re;.:fi iirr a. fcr aft eta vears.
