in 1873, when the production was over

TUE TWIN RELIC
The first Imblie arraignment of
Mormonism and its social abuses by
politiCal party, may hu found in
the platform of principles adopted
-by the Convention that nominated
JOHN C. FasmoNr, in 106. In that
platform polygamy is voted as a twin
relic of barbarism with slavery. DA
VID Virtotoi was the reputed author
of the phrase ; and iSo far as We know,
and as we have reason to believe, he
was the author. The Mormons were,
1 and are to this day, the defenders of
slavery., They knew well enough
that crimes are mutually dependent.
A blow at slavery was a blow at a
demoralizing influence, and any step
in that direction involved a step fur
ther. The Mormon leaders" knew
that the moral sense of the American
people, once aroused and vitalized
in action against slavery, must logi
cally proceed further and deal with
other , departures from social and
moral-,rectitude. Hence, Mormonism
and Democracy were allies then, and
so have continued to be ever - since
The people of ittali were in sympathy
with the rebellion during the war,
and for the reasons just given.
The President has arraigned !po
lygamy in his Message, and as may
be supposed, the arraignment has
stirred up the Mornion leaders to
revolt—in words, at least. The lead
er upon whom the _Mantle of BRIG
HAM YottNo descended, has already
sounded the key-note of revolt. He
says that good
. citizens Must obey
the taws and respect the rulers, but
h£ adds that Clod's law ordaining
plural marriage is. a higher law than
acts of. Congress. polygamy was a
feature of ancient society, but we
seek in vain for any divine authority
for it. It was tolerated then in the
Orient,'and is tolerated now among
rude peoples. But manythings are
tolerated in this wdrhr which are not
in accordance 4/fith moral law.
And unless it be assumed that every. ,
thing permitted is divinely ordered,
there is no warrant for saying that
polygamy was commanded by the
Almighty. To admit such a doctrine
is to condeinn the whole civilized
world as in revolt against the law of
00 in that particular.
The only way to deal with polyga
my is to treat it as we treat any vio
lation of the law of Monogamy.
- Utah must be condemned to a state
of perpetual pupillage,unless its pea
pie conform their social institutions
to the law of the ln& The Govern
ment of the United States cannot
afford to become a party to such a
gross violation of morals. It is of
no moment whatever how many rev
elations/ the Mormons pretend to
have received, for the question relates
to established order, which must be
maintained. - With the religious be
lief of a sect, the Government has
nothing to do. The Mormons can
believe in one or a dozen gods ; in
Joe Smith or Sam Jones as prophets;
or they may become fire-worshippers,
if that seems to be good in their sight.
But they cannot be, permitted to turn
back • the tides of eivilizetion, by
borrowing the imperfect social sys
tems of the ancient world and mak
ing the Republic a party to the reac
tion. Hence, it becomes the duty of
the people to urge repressive meas
ures as
torn
polygamy. It Must
be torn up root and branch, and.giv
en to the Mmes. -Should this COn
gress presume to admit Utah as' a
State with a constitution silent about
plural marriages, or allowing 'such
;marriages, the Demeemtic party need
never again present itself before the
kmerican people and ask for favors.

charges, that borne of our Granger friends
are inclined to believe it has been bought

to their orders. 4 iVe do not share in this
bttt ire of .the opinion that - the
editor is like those knight-errants in the
age of. chivalry, who, from motives of
philanthropy, love of adventure or fond
ness of strife,
started out slatted in mail
and-sword in hand to fight the battles of
the' weak or ,redress dui . wrongs of the,
poor In the discussions that have taken
place of late on the subject:of freight dis
crimination, the railroads. Seem to be get
ting the worst of the battle ; and it is not
at all strange that this valiant editor, in
pity for the weakest side, sbouki throw
I himself with his erhole soul into the thick
est of the tight as their great champion
and defender.. Manlius, almost siegle
handed, saved : ; Rome by mounting the
walls of the capitol and hurling the as
saulting colunin of Gauls. from its battle
ments ; so thiti knightly editor hopes ,his
name will go down in history as the man
:who saved the railroads* .from the attacks
- of the farmers and shippers 'in Hie East.
Mr. Barris Lewis. ,in giving hell
Teeny . before theWew York IA
Committee on lisilivads, declared th
the freight discrimination practiced•
them virtually placed his farm .
the banki of the Mississippi. In -
tieing ibis statement, the editor saikit
was allbosh; that Mr. Lewis would / not
sell his farrnfOr five bin:A - red dollars per
acre, whereas land equally,gixid mould be
bought on the banks or-the Mississippi
for ten dollars per ac editor, probe
ably, does not know hostp Mr. Lewis
values his farm per ac*-Sny tterlihan
we do ; but if he , values it at that sum, it
isbecause he has ibeconia attached to it
by long residence, by its nearness to
churches and schools and good neighbors;
or, perhaps, because he expeeta to sell it
off for-viiiii,g,e.lots. Certafn it is, that his
farm is not worth that mach for farming
purpose' : to raise grat4 hay, horses,
hogs, . cattle, or dairy p - rWucts, or any
thing •else that is extensively produced in
the great West. • With tower rates of
freight to the seaboard, the Westein
fanner, alreacly'having the, advantages 'of
a richer soil and fewer obstructions to-the
plow, can easily drive Mr. Lewis—and us,
too—frirm every Eastern market. If dis
tance is measured by, the amount of the
freight bill, then ;She Illinois farmer is
nearer to:the New - York and Philadelphia
markets then we are. - Emphatically, we
say that Mr. Lewis was correct: railroad
discriMingtiou i: as placed his farm—which
he suppoited to be in the Mohawk Valley,
and ours, which w e thought was on the
banks of the Susquehanna—so far as
freight is concerned, on the western bank
of the Mississippi.
The editor tries .to jusiify the conduct
of the rprdroads by the action of the gov
ernment in establishing the rate,' of post-;
age. He says that -a letter ie co:lVeYed
from Elmira to Alaska, a distance of sev
eral thousand miles, for three cents ; a.,7 l d_
from Elmira to Horseheads, ,a - distance Os
two miles, for three cents. - If the goyim
ment charged a'larger sum for a shorter
distance, then his argument' Would be
nearer the point; and altheugtf it would
not excu,sathe railroads, (as °tie wrong
does not justify another); it would show
,chat the railoiads were rio worse than the
government. ' Due theintelligent editor
and ex-Postmaster of Flrruira ought to
know that; the goveminent does not pre
tend to perform theimail service for the
people on business prineijiles. The mails
are carried to the distant points of the
Union, and into the Oarsely-settled re;';
gions of the West sand of the South, at a.
loss of - several millions of dollars per A

demands it * for public, convenience, and

and enterprising pioneers' who who have gone
beyond the borders of civilization to find
a home, and could not; have any mail
facilities without it, Its object is to
cement and strengthen 'the Union by
making all classes feet that they receive
advantages from the National Govern
ment. •=..' : ' , .
He says:' "The Legislature has no
more.right to interfere in the management ,
of a railroad-osthan it has in the manage
ment of coal mine or a-cotton factory."
That depends altogether on the fact
whether the coal mine and 'the-cotton fac
tory are operated by conniallies who have
outaino acts of incorporation from the
,Legislature ; in such case, the Legislature
has a perfect, right to ipterfere- in the
management of them all : Railroads, as
common carriers, are su , feet to interfer-•
erica from the Legislate e, whether they
have obtained any speci privileges from
the State or net.
• Again he says: "T o Legislature has
no right to interfere in the business man
agement of anything withal *the State. does
not - own." A , man of his intelligence
ought to know that the Legislatures of
several Western States lid interfere in the
business management of railroads hy es
'tablishiag more equital . rates for freight,
( )
and,,that the Supreme curt of the /hilted
States decided those laws were constitii
tioual. If he knows this,- he must be one
of those persons soe4tituted by natnre
that they cannot helibelieving their own
opinions are-of greater authority than the
decision of the Supreme Court.
No lawyer who values his reputation at
the worth of a 4 strait will say that the
Legislature cannot interfere in the man.
agement Of a railroad, if their manage
tnent is wrong. If he means that the
Legislature ;138 no moral right to' inter
fere, that will depend - altogether on the
practice of the railroads : whether their
charges are just and eqeal to all in pro
portion to the amount fof service per
formed. "Thus Faith the Lord, keep ye
judgment and do justice." If they always
do right anif are impartial in theircharges,
the Legiilature has no moral right Wan
terfcre; ,hint if, on ttte contrary, they favor
-the grcal shipper, the great manufacturer,
coal operator or merchant at the expense
of the Small shipper, manufacturer, coal.
operator or merchant ;—in other words,
if they favor the rich and reckless at the
expense of the poor and - the cautious bus
iness man ; if they invite the great and
the influential to ride in - their cars„ free
and drive out,the poor who cannot pay,.
then it is the moral duty of the Legisla
ture to interfere and establish justice.
The Advertiser, on account of its ability
[ to furnish nines, has obtained a large cir
culation in Northern Pennsyliania, and it
is- a great -pity that- its teachings are so
unreliable and its influence frequently
exerted on the wrong side. Within a few
years past it has advocated 'running the
street-ears on Sunday, attacked.the free
academies of , New York, stirred up the
Free Masons with a sharp stick; and cen
sured Dr. Quell for preaching against sin.
The editor probably means well, 'but in
an argument depends too much on his
imagination for his facts and on his own
assertions for evidence. He says he is a
member of a Christian Church, and no
doubt be is a good Christion, but be
would be a better editor if he would
always keep cool and not pitch headlong
into questions which he don't understand,
and then flounder and slosh about like a

z yvASHINGTON LETTER.
' WARIMIGION, D. C., Dec. 8, 1879.
After a session of four days the Demo
cratic Congrirc' bad to take a recess nail
next week, end the prohabilitieeare that
on or about the 26th, an adjournment will
be bad to the first or second week in Jan
uary. The appropriation committees
haveliotigot tokviork yet, and the man
agers do not.seace anxious to push busi
ness. One excuse for a long holiday
recess, perhaps, is that . members want to
go to Philadelphia to participate In the
reception - to General Grant. It - will be a
grand affair. But the fact is, the Demo
:crate alirlry willing poitpone all
legislation#Jong as possible, in the helm
of thereby avoiding fatal legislative errors.
Financial legislation will be given the
session, notwithstanding the
President'icxecommendation. A' canvass
of the Republican members has -been
made, and the result is that they are
almost unanimously against; any legisla-
Reis that will disturb the business boom
or
into
the party. We propose to go
into the next campaign without any
drairback to success. Speaking of this
subject, reminds me that the man who
appears likely to bo Chairman of the Re
publican National Committee—William
E. Chandler—has arrived in town, and it
is announced that he has come , to stay.
If he conducts the campaign next year, it
will be a red=bot one.
A good deal of interest is taken in the
meeting of. the Union League, called in
Philadelphia next week, and many lead
ing Republicans will go from here to take
part .or to confer with the managers of
that potent organization, which will have
an important place in the work next year.
-/The Louisiana election slioWs that the
kuklux are still alive and a verrimport
ant part of the Democratic organization.
It is probable that the ; Brigadiers would
have kept them quiet 's little longer, for
policy's sake, had it not been for fear that
the Republicans wouldcarry the State.
But the exigency called them 'into service
..again. They hanged , ' several colored
leaders in time to spread terror among
the voters, and thereby were enabled to
carry strong Republican dristricts with
out votes. This is another point for the
Republicans; to make a note of.
rife Buckner. bill, so called, which re
quires the national banks in certain States'
to keep one-half their legal reserve in
gold and silver, is intended to effect a dis
tribution of the surplus coin in the Treas
ury, and to rglease tbellegalgOer notes
now held by the banks!,
Secretary McCrary says that some
Democratic Senators, will oppose his eon
finnltion as United States Judge, because
he hoe stalwari Republican.
The Brigadiers in the Senate aro Touch
troubled abcu# the matter of pationak,e,
and. are trying to deiise means to increase
it. In :a few months_ they ll be more
troubled. IllovrAnn.
