THE "PALL MALL GAZETTE": ' ; ON "MORMONISM." The unexampled prosperity and as-tonishing success of the so-call- "Mor-mons," under the most adverse circum-stances, Is attracting the attention of all thinking men. They cannot bnt per-ceive that there is power in this "Mor-monism," and power, too, of a singular kind; but what that power Is, and whence it comes, puzzles them exceed-ingly. All kinds of hypotheses have been put forth by those who consider themselves clever in discovering the hidden springs that move mankind to Ceeulinr actions, and many predictions, these hypotheses, have been uttered, oracularly, concerning the im-mediate downfall of this remarkable " system. But all these predictions have failed hitherto, and the clever men who made them have discovered that they hafl blundered, and that their sagacity was sadly at fanlt. . However, nothing daunted at the fool-ish mistakes.of others, ihe, Pall Mull' Gazelle comes out with anew llieory on ' the spread of "Mormonism," and an old prophecy revamped about its speedy dis-solution, lie has found out why "scores of thousands of enthusiastic and energetic men" have been "drawn together" by "Mormonism," and what will cause its complete overthrow. Wonderful man! let us hear him: He says, "The attract-iveness of Mormonism has been all along two-fol- It has promised abun-dance to the industrial poor of Europe, and many wives to those who are the rigors of European marriage laws. Polygamy is the privi-lege which has drawn together its scores of thousands of enthusiastic and ener-getic men, who were ready to submit to the discipline of any sort of despotism, providing only this liberty of marrying was secured to them. How they came to accept the supernatural claims of their lender and his chief assistants, it is easy to understand now. They be-lieved in his assertions and asked no proof, just as the vast majority of uned-ucated men and women in Christen-dom, accept the simple assertions of their teachers whether lay or clerical, with no more desire for evidence of the truth of these claims, than they have for a mathematical proof of the law of gravity." thus confer a boon upon mankind, t: we are sorry to say that the F. )l. seems to be equally iu the dark, them, upon the subject which he L undertaken to write about. "The Mj monite theory as to the relation-twee-the sexes" is, thct there should: no sexual iktercour.se between the: outside of the marriage covenant, c that every woman should have the e: portunity of filling the measure of I. creation, that is, of becoming an hcaci able wife and happy mother.

"necessary evil," to I Here are two reasons assigned why people will embrace this "delusion" and "imposture," in spite of all warn-iog- o arx'i "ejtpooures" uttered by pric&ta and editors. The first is, the promise of "abundance to the poor." Will the J'all.ValC Gazette explain to the world why it was that so many persons em-braced "Mormonism" wheu it had no inducements of a temporal character to otter them? The first eighteen years of its history, is a talaof suffering, priva-tion, and distress, enough to make the angels weep. Did the Elders, who traveled without purse or scrip among the nations, have anything to offer to the poor, except the Gospel, when the Saintb were lieeing before their Chris-tian persecutors iu Missouri and Illi-nois? Hungry, weary, and scantily clothed, they went from place to place, sometime., like their great Master, without a place to lay their head; and the poor, who received them into their houses, and who administered to their necessities "in the name of a disciple " did so without any prospect of earthly reward. How much land, or "abun-dance" of any kind had they to oiler to the poor when the Saints were traveling across the great American desert, seek-ing for a home in the wilds of the mountains, far away from the wretches who had slain their Prophet and Patri-arch? Wo venture to assert that neith-er the Vnii Mall Wazctte nor "any oth-er man," ever heard an Elder in this Church, offer any ether inducement to people to join the Church, fhan the promise of Gospel gifts and everlasting salvation. So much for the "promised abundance to the industrial poor of Europe," which he considers "by far the least tempting of the two inducements." The promise of many wives, he says, is the great at-tracting power which has drawn so many thousands together. But we beg leave to call the attention of the Pull Mall Gazette to the fact, that plural mar-riage formed no part of the creed of the Latter-da- y Saints until 1S43, and that until 1S52 it was not publicly proclaim- ed either to the Saints or to the world. When that doctrine was first published the downfall of "Mormonism" was pre- dicted by editors and preachers as a cer-tain consequence; but as the voice of time has declared them to be false prophet, they now turn rund and boldly assert that polvgamy ia the very mum; of its success.
