Show A LULL. There seems to be a lull in the anti-"Mormon" agitation in the east. The convulsions are over and a semi-comatose state has supervened. Sectarian shriekers, pious petitioners to Congress, demagogues and editors are finding it difficult to keep up the excitement, which has pretty well subsided, or seems for the present to have done so. When the billows of popular excitement cease their surging pressure on Congress, there is a probability that the outrageously unconstitutional legislation now pending will fail to pass, and there is even a fair prospect that Hon. [Honorable] Geo. [George] Q. Cannon will gain his seat. |
