JUNE iv 1 3:1:1:1: 10. 1874. Tin: ULoiv fTi:i3Ci:s. The hows of the passage, in the Ucuse of Representatives, of the bill, appears in San Francisco pnpers under the head of "A blow at l'o-i:ir- i4 polygamy in Utah." This is a mistake. The "blow" is aimed, primarily, at the constitution-i- d rights of a whole Territory, and ultimately at the liberties of the nation. It the bill becomes a law it establishes a preceicnt for Congress to deprive the people of the Territories nf a voice in the management of their local alfairs; to pass enactments in vio lation of the Organic Acts given by Congress to those Territories; to con trol and appropriate the local revenue of the people; to make religious belief a test of qualification for jury service; and to give power over the lives, Tberties and properties of citizens iuto the hands of irresponsible :iipoiiitec3 of the Federal Covern-ii- n ;it. Neither the framcrs of that bill nor the majority who passed it car6 anything about polygamy. The rapacious horde ut the back of the nicve-ii- k iit are not all afflicted with excessive morality. Their private lives would not bear the light of public .scrutiny. It is lust for tho property of tho men who have redeemed I 'tali from its uative barrenness, and desire to harass and destroy a thoni, 'which urge on tho ravenous hirds of prey who croak for special legislation. And the cause of tho "Mormons" is the cause of the whole people of the United States Admit the right of Congress to make such provisions .is are incorporated in the Poland bill, and the Constitution is a dead Its spirit is gone. The instrument. heutiments which inspired its venerated authors are trampled into the mire. The rule of royil masters is fulf tituted for the service of popular representatives, and the people become subjects instead of sovereigns. The bill is a virtual voice of encouradventurers, agement to carpet-baand the unprincipled crawling vermin who food by sucking tho Hood of tho body politic. Let the bill bo read iu the liht of the Constitution, and with the supposition that it is intended for any other part of the Union but Utah, and the and nature of the infamous document will bo apparent to every .poison. . If it is anrm.d that it is framed for special action on the Mormons only, the argument itself should bf sufficient to condemn it as partial and unjust. And tho reflecting mind will readily perceive that what can lo permitted with. a view to suppress or injure one religious body, only requires opportunity to be hurled agaiust another; and that sectarian animosity and sectional strife are introduced nationally by the Poland l i.l, the , fruits of which, if they spring forth in Utah, will certainly make bitter food for the whole people of the United States, before many years have passed away. 1,1 Tho bill, then, is a blow, not merely at polgyamy, but ngiinst popular rrivilogc, local represenation and control of revenue, trial by, a jury of peers, law, liberty and constitutional rights, and strikes ostensibly at the bead of Utah, bnt really and tiuly at the b;dy of the nation. g office-gambler- The Dirt SUnger true to its charmanliness to take acter, has not the DEEP. back its slander, but reiterates An air navigator named John II. the charge this morning with its terrible had a Shearer, journey among usual beastly language.

One of the deacons had to come to the rescue with the statement that "the preacher put forth subjects beforehand, not as texts, but as baits to draw his hearers, and, haviug gotten them there, be preached to them the genuine gospel, without reference to the subjects announced beforehand as topics of discourse." It is a new idea to fish for souls with a lie as bait. But it may be right according to the gospel of charlatanism.
