NATURALIZATION - SEPTEMBER AM) .TIOX. , t:l:.,z The flrgt Monday in September, the District Court In Beaver and In Ozdf n. were both on ened 80 that all aliens who wished to taW out th eir jbj&tnn1!.tlqn papers, had ih e opportunity by traveling to one or the other of these placfs. Many persons went to these Court rooms Jrom -- .different rats7ata of privilege becoming citizens of the United States. There has bef n a great neglect on tho part of those born In foreign countries, in taking out their full papers, and it has seemed as if they "were at ease in Zion," not reabVng the respon-sibilitiat Stake, in sustaining a republican government in the Territory, as a part of the great body politic. But now the great need of strength in numbers is apparent, it will perhaps be different; and th ose who h ave been long en ough In the country, will have an ambition to ., assist in maintaining tfce liberties and rights of - the people in the choice of officers to fill positions" of trust, in the Territory, as well as a delegate to Congress. x On the second Monday in September, by proclamation of the Governor of Utah, the Third District Courtwasopened in Salt-Lak- e Ciyr -whieli gaveTa greaFmany the advantage cf becoming naturalized, without taking a trip to. Ogden. There should be no hesitancy on the part of those who are entitled to such prlvelege of fulfilling this duty; it is a sacred one, that eery man and every woman should feel bound to resp nd to. A duty each one owts to himself or herself; a parent to his childrorj', and all owe to the community in which . they reside; to sustain help law, "order, and good government in the land. - A set of rules have been adopted by the Utah Commission for the appointment and government of registrars, and the conduct of registration and elections. These rules have been extensively published, and probably carefully read, discussed and commented upn. In addition to Rule is an oath attached, which each person must take and subscribe to, before the name of that individual can be placed on the registration list. This oath or affirmation Is very obnoxious in its wording; thejjhraseologyof n is such as any sensitive, delicate, woman would shrink from hearing, and nothing but the sternest sense of duty could induce a noble true woman to subscribe to it. But brave hearted women endure ignominy, scorn and indignities for the sake of maintaining the riht-an- d God and their own conscience are their port and strength in any trying ordeal.Jebovafj ia for the right, and He alone is a great majority yet He requires every one to exercise his own all matters pertaining to life here upagency,-ion the earth.

The JEdmund'a law has been differently inter- preted by the Commissioners, who framed, the oath of affirmation, from what it was understood previously, either by Mormons or This rendering of its meaning has made some . dissatlsfaotlon, as thcfle who have not violated the law of 1862, against what is termed bigamy or polygamy, would, had it not been for this oath, have been permitted to register.

Can such things be, and how can they be reconciled with tho principles of freedom and religious liberty? If the people's party in Utah will stand together, and each one do his duty in the midst of the -- opposition brought to bear, there need be no fear whatever of losing the election. Some difficulty has arisen In regard to the registering of women citizens, and there is a disposition manif sted to reject votea of women altogether, this point will be carefully guarded, and argued in open court; the commissioners having previously decided that .. women were eligible, nnder the statute, to exercise the right of franchise.
