Two Alternatives. Deprived of their great historical and religious leader, the Mormons must tither submit to the cru.hing out of xonie of their moat cherished religious institutions or else they must emigrate to pome island in the f Pacific Ocean where they will be beyond the reach of harm. Young's retirement may possibly make room fur the accession of me younger and more determined leader who will carry out the latter alternative. The above is the conclusion of an far-of- article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, on "Mormon" affairs, which all the prominent journals of the country feel called upon to notice at the present juncture. We wotdd respectfully ask the Enquirer, and many other papers which make similar remarks, why tho Mormons must submit to either of these alternatives so generously pointed out? Is there anything in the Constitution of our country which requires "the crushing out of our most cherished religious If institutions?" why not, should we submit to it? And if we determine to stand by our civil and religious rights and liberties, why should we be compelled to leave American soil? Tho suggestion is the offspring of bigotry and intolerance, and savors rather of the dark ages than of the nineteenth century. Who has the right, in this great Republic, to say what religious institutions shall be cherished aud which be crushed out? .And who, except mobocrats, thieves and assassins will dare propose the driving from the land of any body of citizens for supposod religious inconsistencies? Wq assure the Enquirer, and other members of the American press, that the Mormon people contemplate neither alternative, and see no need any change of iuith or locality. They have founded a State and made beautiful homes in a rugged desert, and now because a few lazy, unprind cipled adventurers covet their wealth, and raise a cry for their dispersion, shall they forsake the land they have made fruitful, and march forth as houseless wanderers? The idea is utterly preposterous, and we marrvel ,and feel ashamed that thinking men wno mould public opinion, and pronounce ir hard-earne- the great questions of the times, fhouH utter such sentiments as contained in the Enquirer, and can see jio course for unpopular religious community, but to forsake their faith or run away from their mi anti-Americ- an opposers.

This is the intelligent language of the St. Jo.seph Gazette. It the language of William Henry Seward himself.

Small minds may carp at the man who redeemed the desert from sterility and made it hum with the best organised .industrial energies and economies the world ever saw.
