The Past, Present an@ Fature ef Mermen- tsm—Waat isto be Dene? The thorough establishment of this body ot religionists, as they must be termed. in the very centre of the American continent, afford- ing, as they do, remarkable evidences of their success as a political, social, and industrial ex- periment, presents a problem to statesmen and philanthropists worthy ef the most profound , refieetion. The past of this sect, ard even the present, as it is presented to us. fully organ- ized and identified with the geners] administre- tion of the country, excites little practical in- terest. hey present the records of a distinct adventure. wholly disconnected with the gene- ral social, political, industrial and even reli- gious elements of the United States. They have accordingly been viewed as an error,-doing its fatal work at a distanec—as a disease spreading among ‘a benighted people ignorant of medical remedies. but who, fortu- nately, are so far separated from the haunts of civilization as to secure us from the dangers of contagion. The errors of Mormonism have not even excited public sttention. has it everyveen. That which is near us only is ofus anda part of us. The slavery of Africa, which prevails in a:most shocking form, and which is stimulated there by the rival feads of her petty local powers, is forgotten by the arm’s length philanthropy of our day; while slavery in the United States. modified by the infusion-into it of all the elements of civiliza- tion and Christianity, presenting fewer practi- cal oppressions, and entailing less misery, than the relation of landlord and tenant in Eaglaod and on the continent of Europe, is a never- ceasing object of sympathy and of denunciation by the same class of men. Hence Mor- monism, embracing within its theologic ‘Tange the most fatal moral diseese. aod gradually and certainly working into our political family. and constituting a part of eur political machine. has been suifered to ap- proach us. and to gain its present attitude and strength, without comment, without warning, without protest. The past, and even tke present, ie nothing. So long as it remains an isolated religious power. embowelled in the centre of this great centinent, cut off by impassable reada and hy more impassahle distances—so loug as its religion. its morals its industry. and its politics are suffered to develope on its own soil. in their own way, s0 long they are dangerous only to the deluded people who are immediately responsible. But the question reours— What is to be the future of this people? what their relations to us, socially, politically, morally ? This is an interesting and important enquiry, and much more so that the whole popular mind of the country seems just now determined to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific in iroa bonds. When that great work ehail have been accomplished. we shall tave no undeveloped interior. no exemption will then be offered us fromcontact and association with ell. It will re- veal tows a State, located midway between the two great oceans, whose social elements are at war witlrail preconeeived ideas of morality aud what is due to oivibized society. It will pre. sett us with Mormonism fully organized. and perbaps, admitted into the family of States with all its errors, enormities, and eceentricities, en- trenched behind the bulwarks of State rights, and defended by the unassailable power of State sovereignty. This is the near future of that association of religious fanatics who are now organizing in the Valley of the Salt Lake, and whose very isolation have enabled them already to dictate terms to the general govern- ment, and to command federai appointments | Its strength lies in its unity, and its unity is | the first prineipie of its theology. The government of the United States have bad to contend with difficult questions of do- westic policy. That of slavery, which holds ite position solely on the basis of State sove- reignty ; that of annexation, which divided public opinion on the subject of our constita- sione! ctpacity toaddto or take from the origi- nel serritorial limits; that of internal im- provanente, which would consolidate the fed era. and weaken ¢he State power; and of mai ty 4 1estions which involve only discussions of povistical economy ; bet now comes another etill »ware formidable, as it embraces an ele- went vbich up to this time has not been put to the ‘est of political analysis in the United Stetes. %& is Mormonimo, or the peculiar poli ico-'dligions sect which assumes the title of Letter Dey Saints, under Gov.

In creasing year by year, and consolidating their March, 1894, the first general anti-masonic con- power on the basis of the revelations communi- vention y as held at Le Roy, in Genesee county, cated by their great prophet and seer, is as cer- tain as that Brigham Young is their and our chief Now, the question recurs, what is to be the future of this singular people? Are we willing to admit them into the family of States, with all their moral here~ sies and their superior loyalty to their see’: over the democratic principle of absolute sy'b- mission to the popular will, which is the cor aer stone and foundation of the republic. If not, how is the remedy to be applied and the, ‘evil to be eradicated? This involves the question of the political and religious rights of a portion of our people. The constitution guarantees thefr exemption from penalties ¢m account of their religious opinions; and, »;hatever those opinions may be, and-howst<r repugnant to the general sense of the comaunity, they may demand protection in their promulgation, and there is no power in ¢he yrovernment to with- bold it. It is plain, then, that Mormonism, if at all, must be eradicated by what Mr. Clay would have called ‘the inevitable law of popu- lation,” snd the contact of opinion which springs therefrom. The great remedy for pri- vate or public evils in this country, of recur- ring popular electiors, exists in the free and volustary interchange of views—in contact and association. Lega! penalties, enforced to re- ferm moral evile and individual habits and opinions, is the remedy of fanaticism, and the first cousin to that morbid philanthropy which, in times past, employed the fagot and the fire ‘to exterminate religious heretics. No such remedy is either applicable or possible in the case of the Mormons of Utah, and it is difienlt to. see but one means of modifying, and finally changing, the currents of popular delusion which exist there. Their isolation is their strength. They are growing daily more formidable and powerful, by the utter non-intercourse between them and us. The longer this incommunica- tion exists the stronger and bolder they will become. They have a convenient theology: which discloses the requirements of the church only for present consumption. The future is a sealed book, which can only be opened and in- terpreted by their prophet. Thus the mind is continually charged with hope of something new and beneficial to all the Latter Day Saints, who are promised ultimate dominion in this world. and almost infinite knowledge and power in the next. This is the clastic theory of the Mormon church. and under it has bean planted one of our territorial governments. If the currents of emigration could be turned into Utah they would, in five years, sweep away every vestige of Mormonism as an organized political power; and. without this remedy, it is not easy to see how it is ever to be removed: The more powerful error of any kind becomes— especially of a religious character—the more fascinating and sacred it is in the eyes of its followers. The blood of its martyrs become® the seed of its church. and persecution only adds endurance and energy to its votaries. There is, indeed, but one species of reform applicable. and that is by daily contact and association with others of different opinions. | How can this be secured in Utah except by the Pacific Railroad? Commerce is an efficient moral reformer, and it may yet exercise its missionary service in Utah. Communication and trade are expoun- ders and interpreters of men’s righte as well as of their pecuniary interests. This view of the great railroad project to the Pacific, invests the central route, by way of the South Pass and the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. with extra- ordinary interest. and it will be likely to en- gage the attention of that portion of Congress. which leoks to the future as well as the present of our domestic relations and character. It is anotLer phase of our national progres. calcu- lated, perhaps, to engender alarm in some. and to excite the embers of persecution in others Meanwhile. we have only to look on, watch and pray. and trust confidingly to manifest destiny, which, though it may sometimes engender evils, is a marvellous disinfecter of morals, and with all a political and religious reformer. New York State Politics—The Whigs and their Leasers The reminiscences of the editor of the Albany Evening Journal, (Thurlow Weed.) some of which we have recently published in the Heratp, with the %&plies of the Albany State Register and Buffalo Commercial ddvertiser, organs of the Fillmore or national whigs, shew that there isa deep and pro%ably irreparable breach in the whig party. It is also evident that ir. Weed, as the organ of the Seward fac- tion. is anxious to widen the breach in the party~-hence his recent publication of his re- miniscences, which are so well calculated to excite the anger of those whig leaders with whom he is now at variance, and whose con- fidence he formerly enjoyed. The feud in the whig party, which the Seward organs now seek to encourage or instigate to effect a final separation between the two sec- tions. is not of very recent origin, and at whi’:h delegates were present from twelve of the vestern counties. They recommended the cal’\ing of a State convention at Utica, in Au- ast following, and appointed as a general cen- tral committee, Samuel Works, Henry Ely, Frederick F. Bachus, Frederick Whittlesey, and Thurlow Weed, who were continued by subse- quent conventions, and with the addition of Bates Cook and Timothy Fitch, held the station as long as anti-masonry had a separate exist- ence as a party in this State. At the general election in November, 1828, the anti-masons supported John Quincy Adams for President, as Gen. Jackson was a Mason. Several of the western counties were represent- ed in the Assembly by anti-masons, among the most prominent of whom were Millard Fillmore, Philo C. Fuller, and Robert C. Nicholas. The anti-masonic candidates for Governor and Lieu- tenant Governor received over thirty-three thousand votes. In 1829, the anti-masons elect- ed twenty-seven members to the Assembly, and polled about 67 000 votes, In 1830 they united partially with the Adams men, or national re- publicans, in the support of Granger and Ste- vens for Governor and Lieutenant Governor; but the coalition was defeated by the Jackson party, who also succeeded in electing their can- didates over the same opponents in 1832. Here, probably should properly terminate the history ot political anti-masonry in this State, as after the election in 1832, the distinctive name of the party was in a great degree merged in the union or cealition of parties, which united party became soon to be designated as the whig party. Mr. Seward was the first gu- bernatorial candidate of the whigs in 1834, when he was defeated by Governor Marcy. against whom however, he was successful on a | second nomination, in 1838. Jesse Buel was the unsuccessful candidate of the whigs for Governor in 1836, Besides a President of the United States, in the person of Mr. Fillmore the anti-masons have given two Governors to this State, in William H. Seward and the late John Young, alsoa Lieutenant Governor, in George W. Patterson. and a large number of members of Congress, State officers and State Senators. The influence of anti-maronry upon other political parties has been marked, and probably will not soon be effaced. It is doubtless one of the main secret causes which prevented the election of Mr.Clay to the presidency. The anti-masonic leaders refused to support him for the nomination at Harrisburg, for the election of 1840, and his defeat at the election of 1844 may be attributed to the numbers of anti-masons who then voted the abolition ticket in this State. It is difficult to fix the exact time when the coolness commenced between the respective riends of Governor Seward and Mr, Fillmore. We should eay that it was at the presidential election of 1844, when it was understood that Mr. Fillmore would be placed on the ticket with Mr. Clay, as the candidate for Vice President. That nomination, it will be recollected, was given to Mr. Frelinghuysen, although Mr. Fillmore received the votes of nearly all the delegates from this State in the National Whig Convention. We then understood that Gover- nor Seward was indifferent on the subject; but some of the New York whigs charged the de- feat of Fillmore, as a candidate, to the in- trigues of Weed and others with whom he usu- ally co-operated. At the State Whig Coaven- tion, in 1844. Fillmore was nominated for Gov- ernor, and care was tnken to exclude from the electeral ticket the peculiar triends of Gover- nor Seward. It will be remembered also, that at the whig State convention in 1846, when Joha Young was nominated for Governor, the result was effected by the influence and exertions of Sew- ard and Weed, against those whigs who were op- posed to union with the anti-renters. Mr. Fill- more’s name was used on that occasion, asa candilate against Mr. Young; but it was not understood that he was displeased with the no- mination of Young. which was then generally expected to secure the votes of the anti-renters, without which the success of the whigs was im- practicable. The dissensions in the whig party, which in- ercased after the election of Mr. Fillmore to the Vice Presidency, and his subsequent elevation by the death of Gen. Taylor, are well known, as are their effects on the last Presidential election. It remains to be seen whether the fend will be so violent and extensive as to cause, in combination with other circumstances, the dissolution of the remains of the whig party. Axorier Ptatvorm—Masiresto er Tite Youna Men’s Democratic Unton Onve.~-We have received the address of the Young Men's Democratic Club, defining their position. It was adopted August 2¢th, and at the same time the resignation of Mr. Brady as President, was accepted, This movement they consider neees- sary, the Club having been brought before the public in connection with the late meeting of it may be traced to other causes than the question of anti-slavery, or free soil. It may be interesting to our readers to draw upen our oWn recollections of past events, and authentic records of political parties and events. to state a few facts which will throw some light upon the present condition of the whig party in this State, which have placed them ina position that probally disables them from taking ad- vantage of the bickeriogs and dissensions of their political opponents. It fs a curious fact, thet both Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Seward owe their political success And preferment to one prominent capse, namely— their connection with the anti-masonic party, which, nearly » quarter of @ ceutury since, oc- cupied a prominent position in the polities of this anda few other States, and became the basis of the whig party in this State. Mr. Fillmore was first elected by the anti-masons of Erie county, to the Assembly, in the fall of 1828, and Mr. Seward was chosen to the Senate by the same party in 1830.

The ad- dress claime that the Club has always support- ed the principles laid down in the Baltimore Convention of 1852. They think they have never given the public any reason to doubt their adherence to these principles, They ‘maintain an endire’ coutideuce in the sineerity and patriotism of all who rallied beneath the banner of the united democracy upon those’ principles,” aud are willing to leave the task of grumbling at the acts of the administration to the whigs, if there are avy. The Clab ap- proves of every act of the administration. and the members “plant themselves immoveably upon thie constitution and the Baltimore plat- form. and,unfurling that banner which has never waved over a field of disaster or defeat, except when borne by trembling treason or Inke-warm selfishness, devote themselves to the work of consolidating into a better than Macedonian phalanx the veterans aud recruits of the great democratic army.” Their motto is “The united © dramatic version of ‘Bleak House,” written by J/ Er Durivege.
