THE TAORKIKOS OF MORMOMIM.
An Englih clergyman, who left England
to join the Mormons, returned to London in
September last. He hai just published a
volume giving his opinion of the taints found
in the vicinity of the Great Salt Lake. We
quote t
"One of the most repulsive features of
Jlormoniftn is the proxy system, tins is so
destructive to every good and honest feeling
that many staunch Mormonites reject it alto
gether. 1 heard oue of the oldest deciples
sny, that nothing on earth would ever per
sundo him to believe In it, and that if ho had
a dog that believed it. he would shoot him.
Nor will any reader be surprised when he
knows what it is. 1 will endeavor to explain
it briefly. When a married man is colled by
conference to a foreign mission, he has tho
privilege, as they call it boToro leaving home,
of choosing some ono to take the oversight of
liis cattle, goods, Bud whatever ho may pos
sess; to provide for and overloik the lamily,
' nnd to becomo tho pro-leinporu husband of
the wifa."
The ostensible reason for this arrangement
is to prevent tho husband from "sudering any
less" during his absence on missionary lubur!,
eiace tho greatness of his "futuro kingdom"
depends upon tho number of childrend he has
hem. To carry out this idea, tho wife is
linudud over to a deputy husband, who main
tains bis position in the family till the husband
returns. ISase and immoral as this theory
may be, it is strongly advocuted by tho lead
ing men at tho Ureal Salt Luke. We again
quote the returned clergyman :
'Hut there is something more awful and
paralyzing than all 1 have y t narrated. 1
mean the fearful sin of incest, which is so iu
timatcly and closely connected with polyga
my. 1 could particularize instances where
mother und daughter aro married to tho same
man, anil live with him as his wives ; others,
where brother and sister are man and wife,
and son. Brigham Young, speuking once
upon this subject in tho Tabernacle, said that
he hoped the duy was not fur distant when
these principles would be more fully taught
and acted upon, and that children would be
brought up to regard each other as future
part in r , for that thus the family would be
como more compact."
As ,-a caso in point," we would mention
that some ten mouths since there was a man
at Liverpool, who held tho oflico of counselor
to the Dritish Presidency, who aided by the
authorities there nnd.the emigration luud.
persuaded a family father, mother and three
daughters, the youngest in her teens to'em
igrale toZion. They hud been a highly ro
speclublo family, and their character is irre
proachable. On arriving at their destination
the missionary demanded the three daughters
in marriage, and tho parents gave a most
reluctant consent. This man of God (as ho
styled himself) was married by lirighain
oung to these three on the sumo day, and
took them together, to his house, where he
h: a young wife already, and which house
consisted of but one room for the accommo
dation of them all. In about a year one
brought forth a daughter and another a son.
This cuiwd him great rejoicing, as he said
the sons would in timo marry '.ha daughters
and thus inalienably become the foundation
of his kingdom.
This statement reads like a fable, aud yet
there is no state of facts more easily proved.
That such doctrines should exist in a Chris
tint land, in the year of our Lord 1857, is one
of those peeueuliar monstrosities which no
amount of logic can account for. Mormonism
i-t the great evil of the day. How shall
it be got rid of, is dillicult to say. It may
le put down by force, but it will not bo put
dowu by reason; fur irmeu could reason they
would never become Mormons.
(From the Ogttriiahatg Seu'.inel J
A UOOMKD VILl.AU.
On Monday morning of last week, the
village of Brasher Irou Works, in this county,
contained a thriving and busy population.
The population of the place embraced about
forty families, tho heads of which were
mostly iu the employ of Messrs. Alexander
& Sliiiiner, engaged about their extensive
Kminilre and Machine Shops, whk'b had
built up the placo aud given it all the im
portance it had attained. Before night the
whole village, the foundry, nmchiim shops,
saw mills, and every dwelling in tho place
except six were consumed. A firo that had
previously raged in the woods, was driven by
a wind Irotn a point or two South of West,
like a hail storm, upon the doomed village.
Women at the wash-tub were compelled to
drop their work, or tumble thu wet clothes
into the cistern, to gather together their
children, and fly to tho field for their lives.
In one hour forty-three buildings and from
$7.,000 to SltMVIuO worth of property were
reduced to ashes, nnd forty families made
houseless and homeless, without food or
clothing, and without the means of employ
went. The placo was surrounded by flames
on all sides ami it seems miraculoas that
none perished in the sudden nnd overwhelm
in? calamity. Tho nieu who went to the
woods to contend with tho I'.amcs there, and
that was the case with most of them, re
turned to find their houses a heap of smoking
ruins. Hut two or three men tared even a
coat, and a few of the peoplo of the village
anything except whut was on their persons.
Kvery building connected with the Iron
Works was consumed the clerk in the store
having merely time to put the books and
papers in the safe before he was compelled
to fly.
The Sentinel stutes that tho call fir aid
has not boeu unheeded. Villages iu the
immediate vicinity have dor.o nobly for the
relief of the sufferers.
Tavist It Again. Another Artie expe
dition, undertaken at Lady Fruuklin'sexpensa
is announced. The screw steam yacht Fox
has been secured for iheexpedition, which will
be conducted by Captain Mc'Cliulock, It. N.,
who has leave of absence for eighteen months
nnd will sail about the last of June. The
possibility of finding any of Franklin's party
ulive at this long period since their departure
daes not seem very flattering. Uut the sci
entific men of England are desirous of finish
iu ; a great geograph'c 1 enterprise, and 1 eace
they in I the present undertaking with large
S'il c.iptions. The expedition, under favor
Able circumstances, will not occupy more tin n
eighteen months. And in that time, accor
ding to high authority, the whole remaining
portion of the coast line and the adjacent re
gions cau be thorouhly explored. The various
Hritish expeditions alono have explored 0600
(Miles of the coast, leaving only 370 miles to
bo explored, and this in tho section where
the vessels of Fruuklin's expedition are very
conclusively shown to have been aboudoned.
Three times the extent can be explored in a
year. The daugers ot this service are showu
to be less tbau that of any nnder the British
Admiralty. Aud this fuct is further confirm

it li one of the noblest characteristics of
an era that the people think and judge for
themselves. The mental training received at
our Common Schools and Free Academies',
fit them for this task. They are taught to
investigate, to analyze, to take nothing for
granted until they have tested and proved
its truth. Hence, if the "voice of the peo
ple," is not "the voice of God," it approxi
mates infallibility more nearly than any opin
ion limited to a single class possibly can.
Apply this rulo to the remedies for exter
nal aud iuternal maladies introduced in all
parts of tho Olobo by Professor Holloway,
and what is tho result. For every one human
being, who places confidence in any other
medicine, at least one hundred rely implicitly
upon his I'll Is and tJintment, and prove the
faith that is in them by using these remedies
to the exclusion of all others. Look at an
other insignificant fuct. Among the class of
medical dogmatists, fortunately for mankind
diminishing every day, who deny the eflieacy
of llolloway's preparations, scarcely any two
ogree. The prescription of each practitioner
differs us widely from that of his neighbor, as
it does from llolloway's. Submit any case,
ordinary or extraordinary, to a hundred so
culled "regular physicians," and you will have
as much confusion of opinions as there was
of tongues in Babel. Dootor Pcpletusw.il
recommend blistering, bleeding, sudor. lies and
blankets; Doetor Bracernp will prescribe
quinine and jellies and throw the doors and
windows open. Tho patients pcrplexod iu
tho extreme or rather perplexed between
two extremes will perhaps try both, or pos
sible adopt the idea that a sytem involving
such contradictions cannot bo worthy, cry,
with Merrutio, "a plague ' both your houses
1 am sped."
Certainly when we God that ono half of tho
adult population of tho known world have
used aud approved llolloway's medicines, and
that the remainder are subjected to hundreds
of modes of treatment so opposite to each
other that no two of them can by any possi
bility be right, we may Taiily conclude that
the verdict or tho consistent half of munkind
is correct nnd true,
Tho time has passed, nover to return, whon
the dictum ol theories could outweigh incon
trovertible facts. If thousands of invalids
who have exhausted the materia mepiea and
consulted the lights of all thu Medicnl Schools
iu vuin, recovered by the aid of llolloway's
remedies they must necessarily take prece
dence of all others. They have done so
wherever they hare been introduced. They
are not the pet medicines of a clique, or a
class, or single community. Mankind is their
their putt on, the whole habitable globe the
theatre or their triumphs. -Y, Y. Saturday
