" ‘DEFENCE OF POLYGAMY | BY One of the Eight Wives ofa Member of the Utah Legislatare. BIBLE EVIDENCE. Arguments in Favor of Congress Giving More Land to the Mormons, 11 TO BER SISTER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. LADY OF UTAT cat Sait Lake Ciry, Jam. 12, 1864. Dear Sisrsr:'—Your letter of Oct. 2d was received on yesterday. My joy on its reception was more than I can press. | had waited so long for your answer to our last, that | had almost concluded my friends were of- fended, aud would write to me no more. Judge, then, of my joy when I read the sentiments of friendship and of sisterly affection expressed in your letter, We are all well here, and are pros our family circle. My children (four in number) sre healthy and cheerful, and fast expanding their physical and intellectual faculties. Heallh, peace, and prosperi- ty have attended us all the day long. It seoma, my dear sister, that we are no nearer toge- ther in our religious views than former! Why is this? Are we not all bound to leave this world, with all we possess therein, and reap the reward of our doings hore in a never ending hereafter? If so, do we not desire to be undeceived, and to know and to do the truth? Do we not all wish in our very hearts to be siacere with ourselves, and to be honest and frank with each other? If so, you will bear with me patiently, while I give a few of my reasons for embracing and holding sacred that particular point in the doctrine of the Church of the Saints, to which you, my dear sister, together with a large majority of Christendom so decidedly object Imean, a “plurality of wives.”? nd happy in Ibave a Pible which I have been taught from my in fancy to hold socred In this Bible, I read of a holy man named Abraham, f God—a faithful man ted as the friend ¢ e commandments of man who kept ~Vho is repre had a plurality of wives, some of whom Book of Genesis ; ani for .

Now, God talked with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob fre quently; and his angels also visited and talked with them, and blessed t nd their wives and children He also reproved the some of the sons of Jacob, for hating amd sellin, and for adultery. But in all his communic ith them, be never con demned their fainily orga: ; but, on the contrary, always approved of jt, an He even told Abraham at he would make hi fatber of many nations, and that in him and h all tho nations and kindreds of the earth should be blessed ». 17th, 18th and 19th verses: al and 3d Verses. In later yeara ! e plurality of perpetuated, sanction ed, and provided for in the Inw of Moses. David the Psalmist not only had a plurality of wives, but the Lord himself spoke by the mouth of Ne the prophet, and told David, that He (the Lord) had given his master’s wives into his bosom, but because he hat committed adultery with the wife of Uriah, and had caused his murder, He would take his wives and give them to a neighbor of his, &. See 24 Samuel, 12th chap., 7th to 11th verses. Here, then, we have the word of the Lord, not only sanctioning polygamy, but actually giving to King David the wives of his waster (Saul,) and afterward taking the wives of David from him, and giving them to another a sample of severe reproof and pun nd murder, while polygamy is au- the word of God New Testament, | find Jesus Christ speaks very highly of Abraham and his fa He says: “Many shail come from the east 1 the west, and from the north, and from the h, and shall sit down with Abrabam, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of God.”? Luke, chap. 13, verses 28 anc Again he said: “If ye were Abraham's seed, ye would do the works of Abraham.”’ Paul, the apostle, wrote to the saints of his day, and informed them as follows:—‘‘As many of you as have been baptired into Christ, have put on Christ; andif ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs ac- cording to the promise. , He also sets forth Abraham and Sarah as patterns of ith and good works, and as the father and mother of Cithiul Christians, who should, by faith and good works, daughte: “fapire to be counted the sons of Abraham an p Sarah * * * * * According to Jesus Christ and the apostles, then, the ly way to be #aved, is to be adopted into the great Jamily of polygamists by the gospel, and then stricily follow their examples. Again: Jobn the Revelator describes the Holy City of the Heavenly Jerusalem, with the names of the twelve sons of Jacob inscribed on the gates. Rev. 21, 12. To sum up the whole, then, I find that polygamists were the friends of God—that the family and line f 8 polygemist were selected, in which all natic bieseed—that a polygamist is named in the the father of the bful Christians of cited as a pattern for all generations. of a polygamist, who encouraged her husband in the practice of the same, and even urged him into it, and officiated in giving him another wife, is named as an hon- orable and virtuous woman, a pattern for Christian la- dies, and the very mother of ail holy women in the Chris tian Church, whose aspiration it should be to be called her daughters. That Jesus Christ has declared that the great fathers of the polygamic family stand at the head in the kingdom of Cod. In short, that all the saved of after generations should be saved by becoming members of a polygamic family; that all those who do not become members of it are strangers and aliens to the covenant of promise, the commonwealth of Israel, and not heirs according to the promise made to Abraham. . That all people from the cast, west, north or south qwho enter into the kingdom, enter into the society of polygamists, and under their patriarchal rule and gov- ernment Indeed, no one can evem approach the gates of heaven without beholding the names of twelve polygam- ists, (the sone of four different women by one mau,) en graven in everiasting glory upon the pearly gates. My dear aistor, with tho scriptures before me, I could never find it in my heart to reject the heavenly vision which has restored to man the fulness of the gospel, or the Latter day Prophets and Apostles, merely because in this restoration is included the ancient law of matrimony and of family organization and government, preparatory to the restoration of all Israel. But, leaving all scripture, history, or precedent, out of the question, let us come to nature's law. What, then, appears to be the great object of the riage relations? | answer, the multiplying of our spe cies—the rearing and training of children. ° * * * * * . And while a kind husband should nourish, sustain, and comfort the wife of his bosom by every kindness and attention consistent with her situation, and with bis most tender affection, still he should refrain from all those untimely associations which are forbidden in the great constitutional laws of female nature, which laws we see carried out in almost the entire animal economy. Haman animals excepted. Polygamy, then, as practice under the Patriarchal law of God, tonds directly to the chastity of woman, and to sound health and morals in the constitutions of their are . . . * . . The polygamic law of God opens to all vigorous, healthy and virtuous females a door by Which they may become honorable wives of virtaous men, and mothers of faith- ful, virtuous, healthy and vigorous children, ‘And here let me ask you, my dear sister, what female in all New Hampshire would marry a drunkard, a man of herediiary disease, a debauchee, an idler, or a spend. thrift? Or what woman would become a prostitute, or, on the other hand, live and die single, or without forming those inexpreasibly dear relationships of wife and mot if the Abrahamic covenant, or Patriarchal law of God, were ex ented over your State, and held sacred and hon- orable by all? Dear sister, in your thoughtlessne: ality of husbands as wi a inquire, “Why sa plurality of not a wives?’ To which I reply— 1. God has never commatted or s% of husbands 3. ‘Man is the head of the woma can serve two lords. 3. Such an order of things would work death, and not lainer language, it would multiply disease This law leaves females exposed to a life of single “‘plemednens,’’ without husband, child or friend, to pro. vide for and comfort them; or to a life of poverty and loneliness, exposed to temptation, to perverted’ affec tions, to uniawful means to grati’y them, or to the ne cossity of selling themselves for lucre. While the man who bas abundance of means is tempted to speal it oo a mistress in secret, and in a lawless way, while the law of God would have given her to him as an honorable wife. These circumstances give rise to murder, infanticide, sui cide, disease, remorse, despair, wretchedness, poverty, nntiinely death, with all the attendant train of jealous iea, heart-rending miseries, want of confidence in fami lies, contaminating disease, &c.. and finally, to the hor. rible License system, in which governments, caliet Chris an, licem.e their fair daughters, I will not say to play the venat, but to sdegradation far beneath them, for every «> cies of the animal creation, except man. refrain from ctioned a plarality i no woman 1 abominable excesses, and observe, in a great sure, the laws of nature in procreation ogain repeat, that nature has constituted th erently from the male, and for a different p he strength of the female constitution is ¢ / eam of life, to nourish and sustain the em bryo, t g it forth, and to nurse it on her bosom. ; ’ . * . * * . Not so with man, He has no such drawback upon hi: atreng is his to move in a wider splwre. If God at him worthy of an hundred fold in this life, of wives and children, and houses, and lands, and kin pay even aspire to patriarchal sovereignty, to re, to be the prince or head of a tribe or tribes, and Lk suam of old, be ab i forth, forthe de fence » puntry, bundreds and thousands of his own @ siors, born in his own house. 1 of God, who is full of the spirit of the » J untied worth onverse with Jeho. vo) ch ella Wav Som OF God, aud to assopiate with aagels | relation to the four wives ot | twelve patriarchs, namely :- te spirits of just men made perfect—one who will adulterated and eternal truth—is more worthy of a hua- | dred wives and children than the ignorant slave of pas- sion, or of vice and folly, is to have one wife and one child. Indeed, the God of Abraham is so much better pleased with one than with the other, that he wonld even take away the one talent, which is habitually abused, neglect ed, oF put to an improper use, and give it to him who has ten talenta, in the Patriarchal order of family government, the | him, “‘calls him lord,’ even as Sarah obeyed and honore t Abraham. She lives for him, and to increase his glory, atness, his kingdom, ‘or family. der affections are centered in her God, her husband, and her chillren. The children are alvo under bjs government worlds without end. “While life, or thought, or being lasts, or immortality endures,’? they are bound to obey him as their father and king. He also has a headto whom he is responsible. He must keep the commandments of God, and observe his laws. He must not take a wife unless she's given to him by the law and authority of God. He must not commit adultery, nor take liberties with any women ex- cept his own, who are secured to him by the holy ordi- nuances of matrimony. Hence a nation organized under the law of the gospel, or, in other words, the law of Abraham and the patriarchs, would have no institutions tending to licentiousness; no | adulteries, fornications, &e., would be tolerated. No | houses or institutions would exist for traffic in shame, or | in the life blood of our fair daughters. Wealthy men would have no inducement to keep s mistrosa in secret, | or unlawfully, Females would have no grounds for | temptation in any such lawless life. | Neither money nor pleasure could tempt them, nor poverty drive them to any such excess; because the door would be open for every Virtuous female to form the | honorab'e and endearing relationships of wife and mother, in some virtuous family, where love and peace and plenty would crown her days, truth and the practice of virtue, qualify her to be transplanted with her Rinily circle in that eternal soil where they may multi. ply their children without pain or sorrow or death, and go on increasing in numbers, in wealth, in greatness, in glory, might, majesty, power and dominion, in worlds without end O, my dear sister! could the dark veil of tradition be | rent from your mind—could you gave for a moment on the resurrection of the just—could you behold Abraham, | Isaac and Jacob, and their wives.and chidren, clad in the blcom, freshness and beauty of immortal flesh and bones | —clothed in robes of fine white linen, bedecked with precious stones and gold, and surrounded with an off- siring of immortals as countless as the stars of the firmament, or as the grains of sand upon the sea shore, | over which they reign as kings and queens for ever and | ever—you would then know something of the weight of which are recorded in cob, the mothers of the ese did burld the house those words of the sacred w: of Israel O that my dear kindred could but realize that they have need torepent of the sins, ignorances and traditions of those perverted systems which are misnamed “Chriati- ity,” and be baptized, buried in the water, in the like- # of the death and burial of Jesus Christ, and rise to newness of life in the likeness of his resurrection, receive | his spirit by the laying on ot the hands of an apostle, according to promise, and forsake the world and the pride thereof? ‘Thus they would be adopted into the family of Abra- ne his cons and daughters—see and enjoy for he visions of the spirit of eternal truth, which bear witness of the family order of heaven; and the lories of eternal kindred ties; for my pen can never describe them, Dear, dear Kindred—Remember, according to the New Testament, and the testimony of an ancient apostle, if you are ever sayedin the kingdom of God, it must be by being adopted into the family of polygamists—the family of the great Patriarch Abraham; for in his seed, or family, and not out of it, ‘shall all the nations and kindreds of the carth be blessed.’ You say yon believe polygamy is ‘“licentiousness— that it is “abominable,” “bes “the practice cnly of the most barbarous nations, or of the dark ages, or of some great or good men, who were left to commit gross sins.”? Yet you say you are anxious for me to. be converted to your faith; end that we may see each other in this life, and be associated in one great family in that life which bas no end. Now, in order to comply with your wishes, I must re- nounce the Old and New Testamenta—must count Abra ham, Jeaac and Jacob, and their families, as lic wicked, beastly, abominable characters; Moses, David and the prophets no better. I must look’ upon the God of Israclas partaker in all these abominations, by m in fellowship, and even as a minister of uity, by giving King Saul’'s wives into King Da vid's bosom, and afterwards by taking David's wives from him and giving them to his neighbor. Imust consiter Jesus Christ, and Paul, and John, as either living in a dark age, as full of the darkness ignorance of barbarous climes, or else wilfully abomina- ving polygamists, and repre- the faithful and rulers in ble and wicked in fellowshiy senting them as fathers o! heaven. t doom them all to hell with adulterers, fornica- or else, at least, assign to them some nook or heaven, as ignorant persons, who, knowing but little, were beaten with few stripes. While by analogy I must learn to consider the Roman popes, clergy and nuns who do not marry at all, as fore- most in the ranks of glory, and those Catholics and Pro- testants who have but one wife,as next in order of salva- tion, glory, immortality and eternal life. Now, dear friends, much as T long to see you, and deat | a8 you are to me, I can never come to these terms. I feel | as though the Gospel had introduced me into the right family, into the right lineage, and into good company. | And, besides nll these considerations, should I ever be- come #0 beclouded with untelief of the Scriptures and heavenly institutions as to agree with my kindred in New Hamyshire in theory, still my practical circumstances are different, and would, I fear, continue to separate us by a wide and almost impassable gulf. For instance, | have, (as you see, in all good conscience, led gn the word of God,) formed family and kindred h are inexpressibly dear to me, and which I can ring my feelings to consent to dissolve. and virtuous husband, whom { love. We children which are mutually and inex- y dear to us. And besides this, my husband has seven other living wives, and one who has departed to a better world. He has in all upwards of twenty-five chil- dren. All these mothers and children are endeared to me by kindred ties—by mutual affection—by acquaintance and association: and the mothers in particular by mutual and long continued exercises of toil, patience, long suffering, and sisterly kindness. We all have our imper- fectians in this life; but I know that these are good and worthy women, and that my husband is a good and worthy man; one who keeps the commandments of Jesus Christ, and presides in his family like an Abraham. He reeks to provide for them with all diligence; he loves them all, and seeks to comfort them and make them happy. He teaches them the commandments ef Jesus Christ, and gathers them about him in the family circle to call upon bis God, both morning and evening. He and his family have the confidence, esteem, good will, and fellowship of this entire Territory, and of a wide circle of acquaintances in Europe and America. He is a practical teacher of morals and religion; pro- moier of general education: and at present occupies an honorable seat in the Legislative Council of this Territory. Now, as to visiting my kindred in New Hampshire, I would be pleased to do so, were it the will of God. But first, the laws of that State must be so modified by en- lightened legislation, and the customs and consciences of its inhabitants, and of my kindred, so altered, that m: husband can accompany me with all his wives and chii- dren, and be as much respected and honored in his fami- ly organization, and in his holy calling, as he is at home, or in the same manner as the patriarch Jacob would have been respected had he, with his wives and children, paid a visit to his kindred. As my husband is yet in his youth, as well as myself, I fondly hope we shall live to see that da: For already the star of Jacob is in the a ney; the House of Israel is about to be restored : while « Mystery Babylon,"’ with all her institutions, awaits ber own over- throw. Till this is the case in New Hampshire my kindred will be under the necessity of coming here to see us,or, og the other hand, we will be mutually compelled to ft the pleasure of each other's company. . You mention in your letter that Paul, the Apostle, re- commended that bishops be the husband of one wii Why this was the case I do not know, unless it w: saya, that while he was among Romans he did did. Rome, at that time, governed the world, as it were; and although gross idolators, they held to the one wife system. Under these circumstances, no doubt the apostle Paul, seeing a great many polygamists in tho Church, recommended that they had better choose for this particular temporal office, men of small families, who would not be in disrepute with the government. This is precisely our course in thore countries where Ro. ran institutions still bear sway. Our eldera there have but one wife, in order to conform to the laws of men. You inquire why Eléer W., when at your house, denied that the Church of this age held to the doctrine of pla- | rolity. Tanswer, that he might have been ignorant of | the fact, as our belief on this point was not published till 1852. And had he known it, he had no right to reveal the rame until the full time had arrived. | God kindly withheld this doctrine for a time, because of the ignorance and prejudice of the nations of Mystic Pabylon, that peradventure he might save some of them. | Now, dear sister, I must close; | wish all my kindred and old acquaintance to see this letter, or a copy thereof; and that they will consider it as if written to themselves. I love them dearly, and greatly desire and pray for their salvation, and that we may all meet with Abraham, Tsaa jacob, in the kingdom of God. Dea r, do not let your prejudices and traditions keep you from believing the Bible; nor the pride, shamo, or love of the world keep you from your seat in the king dom of heaven, among the royal family of polygamists. Write often ani freely. With sentiments of the deopest affection and kindred feeling, I remain, dear sister, your affectionate sister, BELINDA MARDEN PRATT. pall, Nashua, N. H. Mrs. Lydia Ki P. S. My kind love to your husband, and all inquiring | friends.

We have fallen upon pleasant days in Washing- ton. The hall of the popular branch of the national legislature is the centre, if not of attraction, at least of comicality of the drollest order. For twenty- four successive hours that dignified body has been | engaged in the highly important and deeply in- | | teresting business of calling the yeas and nays on every conceivable motion, and to all appearance it will be necessary to call in a reserve of clerks with | sound lungs and stentorian voices to continue the operation, as the gentlemen who have been engaged in it since yesterday have, like some superannuated cantatrices, lost their sweet voices for a time, and require repose. Now, an honorable member rises in his seat, and moves that the House adjourn ; then another honorable member moves that when the House adjourn it adjourn to meet on Monday ; and, then, still another moves that there be a call of the House—and the yeas and nays are ordered to be taken on each of these motions. That operation generally consumes from twenty to twenty-five minutes; and as these three motions of themselves can be kept up ina rotary movement ad libitum, it is thus in the power of the minority to impede and baffle regular legislation, There is occasionally some variation in the question to be voted upon, which prevents the proceedings from becoming too monotonous. For instance,a member asks to be excused from voting, and on that the yeas and nays are ordered. The chair, perhaps, rules that the motion to be excused is not in order, and to that decision an appeal is taken, and the in- teresting process 0! House on that important point is gone through. uestion from time to time points, and occasionally jokers, in these constitution having a bit of fan from some of the sl, _ the game is kept up as if it were the pleasantest pastime that ever children of a smaller or a larger growth indulged in. In this mode of peeps have the opponents staved off the issue for the last twenty-four hours. When the House met yesterday, the Chairman of the Committee on Territories moved that all debate on the bill should close at 12 o'clock on Friday, and on that asked the previous question, shutting off all discussion on the motion. The lead- ers of the copes suggested to make it to end on Thursday of next week, so as to afford a fair chance for all members desiring to express their views on | the bill to do so. There are two hundred and thirty- four members in the House, and, as a general thing, all are desirous to put on record their views, for or against. But, as yet, not one-fourth have had a chance of doing 80; and it was on behalf of the other three-fourths that an extension of time was solicited. The Pacific road bill comes up under special order on Tu y, but a general consent would have been given to its postponement for another week. The friends of the bill, however, re- fusing to accede to that proposition, its opponents resolved to put_in practice all the parliamentary tactics which would enable them to procrastinate the consideration of the bill indefinitely. And then began the amusing one act farce, which has been in course of performance for the past twenty-four hours, and which, in all probability, will not ap- proach its denovenent until Tuesday morning, when, as I said, the Pacific Railroad bill comeg up, and the | Nebraska bill must be laid aside. The scenes in the House during the course of the | night were highly interesting. Some members who could not resist the stealthy encroachments of the drowsy god, were sacrificing to that divinity in every possible attitude. Some lucky fellows got possession of the dozen or more sofas ranged outside of the bar, and slept in comparative comfort ; others stretched themselves on the thick velvet carpet, and, ever and pared orc up to answer to their names; others contented themselves for want of better accommodation, by assuming the or- dinary attitude of sitting in their chairs, with their feet on the desks. One honorable and comical gen- tleman, hailing from Alabama, stretched his long figure right upon one of the desks, and with his hat over his face, snatched brief glimpses of the land of dreams. A gallant member from Philadelphia, who was not one of the watchers, started up on one occa- sion, and asked to have his vote recorded. “ Was the gentleman within the bar of the House?” asked the speaker, “before the second name after his own was called?” “I was asleep, Mr, Speaker,” retorted the colonel, amid loud laughter, “and wakened before the second name was callei.” It was thought by the Speaker that the rule spliced and the gentle- | man’s yote was recorded. Mike Walsh suggested to | the colonel, as he was again sitting himself to re- * pose, that he had better declare a half dozen votes in advance. But, as under a strict construction of parliomentary law, there were doubts as to the le- gality of that proceceding, the suggestion was not , acted on. While Morpheus possessed a respectable number of sacrificers in the legislative ranks, there was an- other equally potent divinity, worshipped by Chris- | tion and Pagan alike, who was in no sense neglect- | ed. Corks were drawn to his honor in great num- bers, plenteous libations were offered on his altar, | and the smoke of the fragrant weed was puffed forth | in volume sufficient to satisfy even a Turkish Bac- chus. Pages were reckless in the general license ac- corded, and mischievously tormented the troubled dreamers, dexterously attaching long cords to their ankles, and pulling them by main force out of their visions and off their benches; and, to cap the cli- max, a quartette of literary gentlemen might be seen in the corner, squatting,a /a Turque, and in- dulging in the intellectual game of ‘‘old sledge.” And so the small hours of the night p: and the gas gave way to the light of day, and Au- rora, inall her May-day beauty, peeped in on the unwonted sight, and beheld the jaded legislators persisting in the ite of yeas and nays; and when, in the course of the morning, pretty ladies began to pop in their sweet faces, their olfactory nerves were regaled with an odor which must have hoes & | suggested the necessity of eau de cologne or a qui retreat. ws Yea AnD Nay.

Ingratitude is of rare occurrence among honorable men; but from soulless corporations it is to be expected, although Sey ane composed of creatures who profess to have soul A paid fire department is the ostensible of the press; but your chastisement is their motive, because you have clung like brothers to your chief ‘stor dls their maledictions. Their first Object is to render you obnoxious with the People. And how would they effect this? Not by honoral means, but by branding you indiscriminately as thieves, even while some of am Japloos, te the name of a humane God, to be extricated from burning ruins, and when the thrilling cries of your deceased comrades could be heard in their editorial closets; and, when extricated, (some dead, and others apparently in their last gasp,) these editors | | send you, editorially, to the hospital or to Green- testing the sentiment of the | pe if wood asa gang of worthless thieves. They thus cegrade and lacerate the bleeding hearts of your distracted kindred; and to make sure of their vic- tims, living and dead, they devise a hellish plot to entrap your noble Chief Engineer to testify ; fore the coronor’s jury was most Seely, Perret by almost every press in the city. And these editors do all this to operate on the people, and in favor of a paid fire department. ; iremen, you do not merit this degradation and this cruel persecution from the press, (the safety of whose costly establishments you watch with such sleepless vigilance,) simply because you have con- scientiously testified your undeviating devotion to your chief, who has shared your perils for so many years, while those who would degrade and destroy you are sweetly reposing on feather beds, and mak- ing glorious perilous labors. The editors prate about the thievish prpentsicn of tiremen, a8 though there were no thieves amon, the editors; but the editors must be a most infernal set of scamps, from their glowing accounts of each | other. And these editors prognosticate no more thefts if the firemen are only paid ey fat salaries, and are called brigadiers, or brigade firemen. These brigadiers must come direct from heaven if there be not, here and there, a devil among them. Louis Napoleon elected himself Emperor through his fire brigades, and other similar political organizations; and Matsell, backed by a large portion of the press and the politicians, may have some mischievous game in view, for he is in his shirt sleeves for a fire brigade. Brigadicr Matsell! How that would sound. Anda brigadier of two departments, viz.: the fire and the police. ©, there’s much in that. Did not Matsell once attempt to wear a white fire- man’s cap? and did not Anderson make him take it off? And did not Matsell order a general alarm at the firein Forsyth street the other day? Oh, fire- men, why will you repose on a volcano? Much is said by the press of the independence of the police under its present organization. But does not Matsell report the trembling policemen for mis- demeanor to the Mayor, Recorder, and City Judge, whose action is fimal in their removal ? This power in the hands of Matsell is a lash, and enables him, in connection with his captains and lieutenants, to control the city. How easy for a police captet, un- der instructions from Matsell, to silence the clamor of political opponents at the polls, and to incar- cerate, a the Tombs or station houses, until the election is over and the votes are “‘ satisfactorily” counted,) under the pretext of disturbance, all those who dared oppose Matsell’s candidates, and the can- didates of Matsell’s friends pee tony press and the liticians. And if we had another powerful peli- ical organization in the form of a paid fire depart- ment, or Napoleonic fire brigade, that would har- monize in its action with the police department, and with the leading politicians, and with the press, at.d with the insurance and other corporations, what weuld become of the right of pract suffrage in the ay of New York? It would exist only in name. With power equally distributed among the nations of Europe, there would be no cause for war. Nicho- las thinks he can resist all Europe in arms, hence the present war, What maiuly preserves the union of the States, is the equality of representation of States in the American Senate, threugh which the reserved rights of the States are chiefly protected. And what will preserve the city of New York from conflagration, and best protect the ballot box, and promote the best interests of the city, will be for the | press to be far less ping in‘ its desires for universal power, through its advocation of, and sub- sequent intimate connection with, the leading offi- | cers of dangerous political o1 ions, which must ultimately result in their absorption of the right of suffrage, and perhaps in the destruction of the city itself. Let the press and the public organi- zations studiously move in their respective spheres, like the States and the general government—a serious collision, or too friendly intimacy being equally fatal to both, and to all concerned. The press has power enough, and quite as much ‘as the people can safely allow them. The public cor- rations have more power than is consistent with e public safety, and the purity and exercise of the elective franchise. But I repeat, that with a police department, and paid fire department, and other | ic C01 tions, and the press all united ina ed object, have mercy on the city of New ‘ork. Farewell, then, to the right of su: in this city. The paid firemen and the paid policemen, nly or tacitly sustained by the press, would ite! block up and control the passages leadin; to the ballot boxes, permitting (as many of the police do now) only those to vote who could give the countersign. Thus fearful consolida- tion of power in the first American city, might lead to the most deplorable results to the whole covntry. We have not existed eighty years as a republic, which is a very riod in the silent and trackless footsteps of centuries, The American eagle might fall to-morrow from his pro- jecting cliff, never to rise. destroyed, the Roman empire. So with Athens and Alexandria, and other ancient cities. Paris, through poli! organizations, rules France. These sions, controlled bya bold,reckless, and ac- complished leader, can make France a republic to- day and a despotism to-morrow. London, tl h public corporations, which were ally stolen from the people, controls the British empire, on whose oe mae the sun never sets. And why should not New York, with similar organiza- , tions, and controlled by a crafty, irresponsible, un- scrupulous, and unbridled press, ultimately reduce the whole count salage? Some of our leading and most honorable statesmen will tell you that the city of New York controls the national conventions of either party, and the national polities, through half a dozen eae political scamps, located in this city and Albany. Firemen of New York, and other citizens, are yeu prepared to incur these perils? If not, arise and resist the superhuman efforts to disgrace and rasp and hold with giant strength the little you have left of the right of suffrage; ok Gn undying firmness and affection to your neble organization; resist the attempts to saddle this tax-ridden city with an additional tax of near! $1,000,000, for the pe! of a paid fire depart. ment, avert the possible contingency fthat some mushroom scoundrel may, at no remote day, haughtily dispense the curses of monarchy or wi tinted ois tie the Ele of your ots Hanited Jd tire department, composed of 9 lim! number of hired mefccnaries, could not protect this city co effectually as a A rg system. It could be ee ag the Yeading cities of Europe, where the habitat! are com) of bricks, a, marble, and other su ces im, fire, but not in New York, where almost every edifice is a pile of shavings or combustible matter. More- over, hired civilians are the same as hired soldiers, Both work for pay, and not for public utility and renown. But the volunteer firemen of New York are as zealous and courageous as the soldiers of the Revolution, while paid firemen would evince the slothfalness and cowardice of the British in that memorable contest. Any man contending for lib- erty, and his wife and children, can easily rend to Be gat three cowardly mercenary combatants; and a volunteer fireman of New York, panting for deeds of valor, and the respect and love of his fel- low men, can effect more than half a dozen paid lazzar. ni, who go to their perilous task as slaves go to the field. For years the press of New York has disgusted and insulted the firemen by striving to make the kK ople believe that the police were more efficient at res than the firemen; and most of these puffs are | written at Mateell’s and the captains’ offices. We now begin to see the motive of this. The motive was twofold. First, to make the police system po- pular with the people—and it has required an im- mense deal of puffing to make it even tolerable with the people. And secondly, to prepare the people for another police organization, in the form of a paid fire department. We shall not pecenag tte past, but will recur to the future files of the preSs, and we will venture the prediction that, ere many days, it will be | publicly aunounged ‘pat poor Matsell hag either have secretly ividends from your gratuitous and | Rome ruled, and finally | tod iam and degrading vas- | broken his thigh ata fire, or had his coat burned entirely from his back, or that he has saved the lives of seventy-five policemen by ordering them down stairs just as the fatal crash was about to come; or, fancy- ing himself Chief eer, he has actually struck a genera! alarm as in Forsyth street. Or it may be an- nounced that Captains Brennan, Leonard, or some other daring policeman has quenched a tolerabl, large conflagration before the firemen arrived; ani that at the same terrific fire, they saved the lives of several men, women, and children, at the imminent risk of losing their own valuable lives. ‘This base stuff, and these monstrous lies which daily fill the columns of the preas, concocted by the lice department as early and valuable news, may Roos rendered the police department a little more tolerable with the people, but, at the same time, it has created a breach and a deadly hatred between .the policemen and the firemen that will not be effaced while the present race of editors shall exist. And if they would atone for the mischief they have thus created, and would have more friendly relations subsist between the police and fire departments, the sooner they stop suc! Siaguating nonsense the bet- ter for them, and for the “a large. H. Branog. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONBY MARKET, Sarurpar, May 13—6 P. M. The bulls were decidedly in the ascendancy to-day, and there was quite » demand for the leading fancies, at the improvement. At tho first board, Mlinois Central bonds advanced one per cent; New York Central bonds, i; Delaware and Hudson, $<; Canton Company, %; New Jorsey Zinc, %; PeansWanta Coal, 34; Cumberland, ; New York Central Railroad, %; Panama Railroad, %; Cleveland and Toledo, 3; Erie Railroad, 3g; Harlem, 134; Reading Railroad, ; Hudson River Railroad, ; New Haven Railroad, 34. The improvement was pretty gene- ral. At the second board there wasa very active mar- ket, anda further rise was realized. Cumberland went up 5 per cent; Nicaragua Transit, %{; Hudson River Railroad, %{; Harlem,'%{; Erie Railroad, 4%. New York Central Railroad, fell off { per cent. We have received a circular, reviewing the financial movements of the Cen- tral Railroad Company; but it is merely a weak invention of the enemy. It no doubt has been put forth by some bearclique in Wall street, for the purpose ef depressing the market value of the stock; but it will probably have an effect just contrary to that anticipated. We should not be surprised to see the stock advance in the face of it. It is a silly affair, and hardly worth noticing. Mining stocks did not participate in the general im- provement to-day. Im referring to the Lindsay yester- day we should have said, that within tho last few days arrangements have been made by which the Lindsay is extricated from the embarrassments which have borne down the stock within the last few months. A small number of new shares of stock have been issued, and were taken up at once, by the old shareholders, at 75 centsashare. By this means, all the money required to put the mine in working order has been raised. Mr. Schoonmaker, a gentleman who has long been favorably known in connection with mining enterprises, has ac- cepted the Presidency of the company, and a portion of the machinery has been erected. We are informed that advices have already been received here, to the effect that a piece of gold weighing 63; Ibs. is on its way to this city from the mines; and when the whole of the machinery has been erected, we have no doubt that similar consignments will be of frequent occurrence. The capital of the Lindsay is now only $750,000, divided into 150,000 shares; at the rate gold properties are selling, it should be worth more than $100,000. The Georgia Gold Company’s stock continues to sell at 15. The property of the concern is situated in Lump- kin county, Georgia, and contains decomposed quartz veins, bearing gold. It has been examined by Dr. Jack- son, who has given his opinion that he never saw quartz in so advanced a state of general decomposition. The company is organized under a special charter from the State of Georgia, with a capital of half a million, divided into 100,000 shares, of $5 each. The President, Isaac H. Smith, who is also President of the Gold Hill, has visited the mines, and is confident that when the machinery is erected, the mines will pay a two per cent dividend every sixty days. The following were the bids at the Mining Board :— ae North Carolina. 234 Hi 36 143 1% The trustees of the old Bank of the United States have issued a notice, stating their intention to make a further. dividend out of the assets in their hands, to the creditors of the trust, namely—the holders of notes and post-notes, and deposits mentioned therein. Said dividend will be declared on the 30th June next, at the officeof the trus- tees, No. 70 Walnut street, Philadelphia. Those con- cerned are notified to come forward and prove their re. spective debts or demands before the time thus appointed | for making and declaring said dividend. ‘The warrants entered on the books of the Treasury De- | partment, Washington, on the 11th inst., were :-— For the redemption of stocks sees $5,874 30 For the Customs............ ee, ++ 1,676 61 Covered into the Treasury from miscellaneous BOUTCEB «.....seeeeeeee 37 For key Like the Wa De; at. igri) » ‘or re-pay’ for rar Department.
