— — or th see that have sprung up in the great West and grown into populous cities and States since the Mormon hegira from Nauvoo, where can one be shown to have defied the United States government, and to have treated its laws and its public officials with the contempt and inso- { lence the Mormons have? On the contrary, ‘among the most loyal States in the Union, and among those which sent into the field the greatest armies during the struggle for our national existence, are States in which the earlier pioneers had to undergo as many perils, hardships and privations in organizing their communities, in subduing the forests and the savage, and in implanting the seeds of civil and religious liberty and constitu- tional law, as ever the Mormons did in erecting their Salt Lake empire and in establishing in the heart of the nation’s public domain a religious organization the corner stone of which is a dogma abhor- rent to modern civilization and in violation of all the received rules of decent social and do- mestic life and society. Therefore the claims of these impertinent and rebellious Mormon squatters for immunity from the operations of the general laws of the country, on account of the service they have rendered in improving a barren waste, but more properly in making fortunes for themselves out of the Gentiles and the government, are idle and ridiculous. Greater hardships and more personal sacri- fices, we repeat, have been undergone by settlers in other tracis of territory, now be- come great and prosperous States, respecting the laws and fighting for the national flag, than ever these Mormon adventurers encoun- tered from the time when old Joe Smith went into the tablet business, after the manner of ‘Moses, and founded the Mormon sect, up to the moment of the conversation Brigham Young held with Senator Trumbull, as related above. ‘They bave no claims for political sympathy, for immunkty from legal responsi- bilities, nor for hardly the consideration paid to other religious communities; for thé odor of their saactity is foul, and their moral prac- tices are unlike those of all modern Christians, ‘We say, therefore, to Briguam Young and his deluded followers, that they had better accept the sensible advice of Judge Trumbull, con- sult with President Grant before they proceed ¢o extremities, accept the Jaws of Congress in regard to polygamy, as well as in regard to everything else they are required to, and either haul in their rebellious horns or prepare to pack up their baggage for a tramp to some distant country outside the boundaries of the ‘United States. You must obey the law, Pro- phet Brigham, or you must march. Uncle Sam has stood your nonsense long enough. He will tolerate it no longer. The Virginia Election—Governor Walker's Views. The views of Mr. Walker, Governor elect of Virginia, as given by him to a HeRaLp reporter the other day in a free conversation, place the late Virginia election and its results in anew light before the public. The Governor Bays that the election was one of the very fairest ever held in any State, and that as it was held in strict conformity with the laws of Congress and with the President's orders in pursuance of the laws it cannot be impeached. But he says, too, that the result, though a radical defeat, is not a democratic victory; that seven-eighths of the men who voted the wonservative ticket are as far removed from the old Northern democracy on the one hand as they are from radicalism on the other; that they want neither of these parties; that in accepting the situation they have rejected the fatal lessons of the Northern democracy, as taught them to their ruin, and that the Vir- ginians at the same time have cut loose from radicalism run wild. Furthermore, says Governor Walker, he etarted out ona liberal republican platform, and that this is the proper name of his party in Virginia—liberal republican; that the Vir- ginians are leaning this way; that demo- cracy hath profited them nothing, and that they know hetter than you can tell them where their real interests lie, The Governor says, too, that while General Grant was all right in this contest the conservatives were very earnestly opposed by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General, and that their assistance made the Wells party bold and confident, The result, however, is that the loyal leagues are breaking up, for the blacks are deserting them and joining the liberal Walker party. The special points here given from Mr. Walker are these :—That his party in Virginia is an independent party; that while opposed to the ultra radicals it has nothing to do with the Northern democracy, but desires to be necog- nized as identified with General Grant's reconstruction policy, under the discretionary powers given him in the laws of Congress. The new Southern party, then, which has come into power in Virginia is a new republi- can party, It has, too, a very fair prospect for the possession of all the other Sonthern States, which will give it an important balance of power in Congress and out of Congress against the bigoted radical republican leaders of the North. But still, if the old Bourbon democrats of Virginia have, under the Walker banner, secured a majority ef the new State Legislature, we suspect that Governor Walker will have yet his hardest battle to fight in order to establish the negro conces- sions which he proclaimed in the late cam- poign as his party platform. The real meaning of this late Virginia election can only be reached through the new State Legislature, which, under all the circumstances, is open to doubts and conjectures, MOVEMENTS OF PRESIDENT GRANT.
