Show an oittiLi: com: t hazy. 1 1 1 iiolKii ud relates au anecdote con cvrultig Iho ancient orscha which Is aprous of oar times. II Is told that lieforo going lo tattle against Cyrus, tho Lydlan king folloaed the estau-lUhed estau-lUhed custom of consulting hlsprscte, which lit Its wondrous wisdom Informed In-formed him that by his giving Utile tu Cyrus a gnat kingdom would to uverlhrown. This swiiied to Iho mind of tho mighty Cmsus a sure testimony that he w.is going to wlu. Hut tho conflict did not eud that way, and he mam led muih In his grief, asking tho orsile why It had deulvcd him. Vhereiiion the oraclo answered, that a great kingdom had truly Win overthrown, but II was tho klugdom of Crusu.. Ue have an editor In this city who Ispractklug at this tort ol oraiulir Jugglery, eicept that for tho astute lUlililngof tho undent fraud he at-Urupts at-Urupts to substltutu an tiuiAralleluU mendacity and lmH)rtlnnice, (sirely ol his own treating, l.ver slticu the iiiolloiioflho new division of political politi-cal parlies mis tiilkid uf from the "l.lbi-ral" fclaiids)liit, ho has Men making the political sky lurid with curses iiion the heads uf the "Mormon" "Mor-mon" Church, whom hediclarcd had made u turvt oomact by which the "Mormon" votes wi-ru M liedlvldeil up between tho ltepubllcaus and Demociats; lertaln town wards, ier-sous ier-sous or what tut having U-ou "sit aside" or "ordained," using his favor-expression, favor-expression, to vote for this or that party according to the said compact. This "bargain," as ho would make believe, citeudM even t Washington, ct rtaln Congressmen being already pledged on tho strength of Its U In carried out, to atcheaieforadiullllug UUhataHUte. This our modern oracular w mder has been reiterating to his blind fol wert with a joslllveness that would Justsfy the Impression that the written contracts signed 'and sialcd liy which this great "Infamy" has htensetln motion, were already com pletcd and In tho archtvis of hit paper. Hut something seems within the sstlwttvo hours to have mrtoorless luddleil his brain, and forgetting tho declarations about tho division cun-trsit, cun-trsit, and the rest of the seen t Urgalns by which the "Mormons" were to iet cure statehood, lie rats up a lingo In tlieearsof the Itepuhllcuns by which we learn that those "Mormons" who, ai cording to Ills repialed declaration, have "pleilgeJ Ihelr video to Iho Ite-piibllcin Ite-piibllcin party," ea apart of Ihe contract con-tract for statehood, were making ready on election day to turn Iheuiselvis over bodily to the D-min rals. If all the hideous features which this editorial uondiacrl t pretends todlvlne In Ihe hi ails of the "Mormons," with In the spice of a mouth or a neck, could be collected Into a single hoto gra h.whata moastor of contradictions II would make' If It were not for Iho pnpilar legend among a certain class, thst ha Is "glflc.1," the editorial utterances of this person during the past six months would berjulle enough In tho hands of a designing enemy to causa hlm to be taken under pubtlo care for Imbecility. The name of being a genius seems to have Urn construed by him as u sort of jopnlsr license to talk like fool. Ills Increasing aoilety to make overy thing "Mormon" out to bo wholly treacherous and criminal has put monsters mon-sters In hlsdriams that are running bl in crsry. |
