Show Published .very Wednesday and Saturday. FKAXKLIN D. IUCUARDS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. " t OC.Ii:, UTAH. Saturdaj Morning, Feb. 19, 1870. That Precious Kill. We perceive by our eastern exchanges that "Mormonism" in its social and political phases is a very popular topio at the present time in the United States. The report of the chairman of the Committee on Territories in relation to Utah, has provoked many and various comments from the pres, and the general feeling is that the "Cullom" bill is a compound of folly and wickedness. The following clippings will show how the mutter is ; viewed by many members of the "fourth estate:" "Our special from Ogden this morning gives insight into the general feeling ot ths people of Utah over the Cullom bill now pending in Congress for the abolition of polygamy. It also shows the certain effect of that bill in uniting the people of Utah in solid phalanx around their old chief, Brigham Young. With the passage of that measure, all disscn-iion- s among the Slormon people will appear liko frosts of the morning, and the last chance for the downfall of Mormon ism will be, sacrificed to the mad and miserable coercive schemes of tealots who are as incapable of wisdom as they are known to be devoid of honesty." Thu bill meant war. World. "This is what the World says the Cullom bill means, and we have not the slightest doubt of it. And war, in our opinion, will never accomplish tho objects for which it is organized. All fanaticisms in religion thrive under . persecution,, and gunpowder never yet shot religious belief out of the hearts of any people." 'Many influential journals oppose the Cull om bill for the abolition of polygamy in Utah, m prlncipleas well as on grounds of expediency. It is given out that even our "Gentile5' friends in Utah consider it en ''extreme measure, and it is our opinion that It is as unwise as it will certainly prove futile." "Any law which is not backed by the moral sentiment of the community is a failure. It lacks the executive force necessary for its execution, If appealing froaa civil .machinery to soldierly force, the Government attempts to enforce the law with a strong hand, then wo msy look for resistance and eventually the destruction of the finest property in ihe Territory. This bill will conso the Mormons, and quickly heal the little differences and breaches, wtich recently appeared on the surface of their society. Congress cannot legislate any man' religion from his heart." This bill which the World eays, "means war" pretends to be aimed against polygamy but the real motive which is the secret spring of this stream of bitterness spurts out and shows itself . . iu Sio. 82. And It it further enacted, Thut tho President of the United States is empowered aud directed, when in his judgement it shall be ncccesaary to enforce the laws of said Territory, or the convictions and sentences of the courts thcroof, to send such a portion of the army of the United States to said Territory, as shall be required therefor, and in case a suflLiont portion of said army c uinot with safety be detached from duty in other portions of the country to accomplish the same, the President is and directed further, to aocept and receive into the military service of the Unite J states, volunteers to the number of not exceeding forty thousand, and for such term of service as he may deem proper, not exceeding two years. And the Secretary of War is directed and required to make such rules and regulations for the movement and transporta- thns of the troops, and the enlistment' of volunteers, as shall be necessary. business is flat in all this western and a big body of troops is the country, ' only' chance which despondent speculators caa sec for mercantile salvation. It ie notorious that this serpent's egg was laid in Utah, though hatched in Washington. Broken down pettifoggers s, and eecdy joined with salesmen to' bring the "thing" to light; and now they are trying to wiggle, jt through Congress covered iip in a blanket of puro intentions. It Is siiclj a dreadful thing, you know, tht'sman should marry more wives than one, and that socioty should receive them with honor. The "correct thing" is to seduce as many as you can, and pretend to bo horrified at vice; to gratify Ittsi fX "lovely woman's" sole expense, and shut our victims entirely out of the charmed circle, of "society", to perish in the shades cf sin' and woe, If statesmen' desire to purify society, jiriil really1 feel scandalized at plural marriage, why sot try to make section 13 of this pfeci'ot'S bill, of universal application '. throu'gUout the United Slates, inaJLetul f spcaifel application to poor ' office-scjker- semi-bankru- pt little It.vn. And &a it further enacted, That any man. in said Territory, who )uill after this act goes into effect, live r cohabit with cue wxman ft more, other .than "his lawful, wife, as hiti wife r wives, shall be adjudged guilty of the crime, of coueubumgc, and upon convie-tiii- n thereof, rb'M he punished by fine uit exceeding one thousand dollars, and by imprisonment in the penitentiary at &E 13r hard labor, not exceeding five years, and in all prosecutions for the violation of this section the alleged concubines of tho accused shall be competent witnesses to establish or disprove the charge: Provided, That no statement made by any such witnesses shall be used against, admitted, or allowed to effect tbum in any manner in any case whatsoever, and an indictment charging said crime to have been committed with more than one woman, will be sustained by proof, showing the same to have been committed wiih only one or more. Suppose the above quoted section be embodied in a speoial bill for the District of Columbia; just funcy what consternation would come upon those gorgeously-attire- d ladies who may be met frequently in the lobbies and little rooms at the great Capitol ! How many of those legislators who. are interested in the Utah bill would make practical acquaintance with the walls of the Stone Jug! Or rather let us ask, would there bo one We do not aocuse, we left outside? int errogat e. Honorable gentlemen merely who have such a strong desire to pelt Utah for her alleged crimes, read the "13 Sec." carefully and then, "let him that is without sin among you cast the ' ' ' first stone!" is Gentlemen, this a day of revelation and a time is coming when men's secret acts and motives will be proclaimed upon the housetops. An army ! an army ! Send an army to Utah. That's whot's ths matter. No matter what it costs tho Government; no matter what trouble it causes the Mormons; in fact, the more tho better, only let us have a chance to make something, for we are really "out of luck" and nothing but anij army will give us a chance to "makA a raise." Even tho Collector of Internal Revenue for this Territory, as we see by the papers this morning, wants an army that be may be able to collect taxes ! What next? If we were not daily adding to our subscription list, and making our paper such a complete success, we might be tempted to join In the cry, and ask Congress to send an army so that we might be able to sell the Junction. . Whilo all this clamor and noise assails tho ears of Congress, Utah is quietly minding her own business, improving the country, enfranchising the women, educating the children and calculating to do right under all circumstances, according to the will of God and the Constitution of our country, i . H t .: ; i " Our Salt Lake Letter. SaltLakb Citt.
