It confesses that it is still doubtful as to its composition and results ; but so much depends upon its being a digni- fied, reasonable and pronouncedly respectable body, it adds, ‘‘it looks toward it with ex- pectancy tempered with anxiety.” The Regis- ter thinks that either Judge Davis, ‘‘or some man of his known and avowed principles,” must have the first place on the ticket. Du Cnaiiv’s Lecrure on Norway AND SwrpxEn.—-The celebrated traveller, Da Chaillu, will deliver one of his interesting and instruc- tive lectures at the Hall of the American Geographical Society on Tuesday next. The subject selected will be “Travels in Norway and Sweden,” with illustrated views. If these regions of Northern Europe do not possess the same interest for the discoverer as the unknown wilds of Africa, they offer to the artist and the lover of sublime ample grounds for noble emotions. Nor are they of less interest from a historical point of view, for out of these snow-clad regions issued a race of men who for ages imposed their will on Europe. The peaceful development which has marked their later progress is no less worthy of the atten- tion of the economist, and we have no doubt these various sources of interest will be ably and fully reviewed by the distinguished Jec- turer, whose life bas been passed in advancing the interest of science. We have no doubt that those who attend this lecture will enjoy a real treat, and come away amused and in- structed; Tur INTERNATIONAL IN IRELAND.—The bug- bear revolutionary society of Kurope known as the International has been trying, through its agents, to get a foothold in Ireland, Of all countries at the other side of the Atlantic these very questionable reformers will have less chance in Ireland than any other country which can be named. The soil of the Green Isle will not prove congenial to the growth of the International. The agents of the society, however, are active, and recently they made an attempt to force their opinions on a meet- ing of Cork trades unionists. The tradesmen, it appears, held a meeting to denounce the In- ternational, when the Internationalists came thundering at the doors of the meeting room. They tried to force an entrance, but got chas- tised for their pains. No; Treland may cherish Fenianism, but it will not swallow the International pill, no matter how artistisally it may be prepared with coatings of liberty, fraternity and equality, In His Element— | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 1872.-QUADRUPLE SHEET, The Press the Hepresontative of the Age— Journalism of the Past and the Present. We mark the prozress of our civilization in cycles, What is civilization but an expres- sion of our progress toward the ultimate good? We boast of our generation as though it were a new dispensation, a manifest bless- ing of God. Isit a new dispensation? Did not our fathers feel as confident and as happy in the possession of their blessings as we, their children? We have no doubt that there are panegyrics upon umbrellas and stage coaches and spectacles breathing as rare and high a pleasure as anything our modern writers have written upon vbe telegraph or the locomotive. Society has two forces, con- servatism and progress. We move in cur- rents like the ocean. There is a Gulf Stream carrying heat and life far into the region of perpetual night, and giving fertility to regions where the glacier had its home; while other currents sweep, cold and rushing, freighted with the snows of the Arctic seas. So we have classes in our society which drift for- ever in the way of advancement and growth ; who are satisfied with nothing that is, and hope ever for something better that is to be; who become radicals, iconoclasts, disturbers of the peace. We have others who dwell eon- stantly upon the memories of the good old times, and are comforted with nothing less than a century old. We remember a writing of Defoe in which the famous author mourned over the deca- dence of England. There was no longer the public spirit, the manly virtue, the high chi- valric sense that had marked the Englishman of the olden time. To this was added the pro- phecy that in a very short time England would fade out of the nations, Well, this prophecy was more than a hundred and fifty years ago. It was in the reign of the good Queen Anne. The England that Defoe eulogized was the England of the Stuarts, of the Rostoration, when Charles IL and his spaniels sat upon the throne; when the plays of Aphra Behn were performed before noble and brilliant audiences; when Nell Gwynne’s whim had more power with the throne than the entreaty of Clarendon, and when dicers and vagabonds and tramps held car- nival in St. James’ and Whitehall. Yet this was the England which Defoe regretted with honest sorrow. He saw the world with conservative eyes. Since his day England has passed from step to step in the achieve- ment of its splendid destiny, and there is no assurance but that the future will add as largely to her comfort and power and fame as the century and a half which has elapsed since the mourning of Defoe. In our own country, although we have a limited history, men like Defoe are forever dwelling upon the past. Ob, forthe simplicity of the early fathers ! Oh, for an hour of Washington! Oh, for the era of good feeling when politicians were vir- tuous and public men were honest and brave! Oh, for Andrew Jackson and his manly Ameri- can character! We have these laments daily. Carl Schurz echoed them the other night when he addressed Mr. Greeley and a large crowd of curious and noisy democrats at the Cooper Institute. From the cheers that greeted his lamentations we have no doubt that there were many who believed what he | said, who regarded him as a true man mourn- ing for the past and the irreparable, and not a cunning adventurer making political | capital out of the emotions of his audience. Yet these emotions have a beauty and gravity that should not be despised. It is pleasant to feel that time will dim and color and throw a soft tint over what now seems so harsh and bard; that it will clothe the unseemly, glaring cathedral stones with reverence and majesty and the beauty that appeals to the soul and finds expression in prayer; that there will come a time when Americans will see in Grant not a mere vulgar, drunken, stupid sot, who stumbled into the Presidency very much as Christopher Sly became a Lord, but a great captain worthy to be named and remembered with Washington, We honor the feeling that worships the past. It comes from reverence. Next to truth and love nothing is more becoming to the soul than reverence. But still we march on! We worship the past and welcome the future, Whe we mourn the past and shrink from the future it is not well with us. Far rather a cheerful, buoyant, hearty acceptance of the day and its work, | and doing it. Nor should the variety of our achievements content us. We shall become, oh, friends and brothers, as much “old fogies” to the merry boys who tease us for pocket money as our fathers are to us. It may be sad, but we also are foreordained “governors” and “old gentlemen,” and we shall be discussed at clubs by downy-faced young men, and our allowances criticised and disputed, and irreverent nephews and cousins will look wistfully at the Heratp column of deaths and wonder if we shall ‘cut up fat.” Young Harry Plantagenet was not the first prince who stole to his father’s bedside and tried on the crown. If there are footprints before us on these sands of time, surely there are footsteps behind us. If we do not march ahead we shall be trampled in the press. We do mighty deeds, but those who come will do mightier, To take an immediate and familiar illustra- | tion, look at the Heranp. Fifty years ago our fathers found the news in a dingy, heavy | sheet, without vivacity, enterprise or origi- nality. The editor who had a thousand readers | was happy and prosperous, and he gloried | over his stupid pages and mocked the still earlier days when editors were put into the | pillory and the weekly news-letier went out in | the post. Here is a newspaper with nearly one hundred pages of printed matter, a volume in itself as large as the New Testament, and sold for less than what would have paid the postage upon the dear old forgotten gazettes and | couriers, Every column is full of life. Sixty ! colamns of adve ements, for iustance, which mirror the world over more clearly | than the more welcome news n tive, Some people are apt to regard adve encumbrance to the journal, but no journal is complete without them. the world speaks to the world, We see in these columns the true barometer of business. We know whether trade is dull or lively, what our friends and neighbors propose to do, and what we must do ourselves to com- isements as an Here pete with them, If we were all idlers in this world we should be content with the story papers, the romances, the en- gravings in Ldarper and tho letter press of poetry and narrative. But to the active man the newspaper has nothing more valuable than its advertising. Theso sixty columns embody the words of New York speaking to New York, Here is the great exchange. Here all New York comes, anxious and greeting, every man with business and desires, seexing a neighbor who may accommodate him. And every man hath business and desires, as Hamlet tells us, ‘‘to-day we want something, to-morrow a friend is in want, a third day the stranger ;” and so we seek this vast exchange and are satisfied. There is a philosophy in the advertising columns of a representative news- paper that deeply interests the world, Tho lesson that it teaches is that we come more closely together. In the olden times men as- sembled in the market place to hear the last gossip, to learn the tidings from the wars, to seek a serving man, to find « purchaser, to make a bargain. The market place of New York will be found in the Heratp. It is astonishing to see this marvellous growth, to compare this printed volume, which we lay upon more than one hundred thousand breakfast tables this Sabbath morn- ing, with the dingy sheet that our grand- fathers received at midday, with “‘thirty days later advices” from England. But even this example of our civilization, splendid and grati- fying as it is, is only a cycle in the growth of the Heranp. We could no more stand siill to-day and live than our fathers could have stood still, The Heratp of 1900 will be as much in advance of the paper we print this morning as this journal is in advance of the Heratp of 1840. We answered the demand of that day, as we answer the demand of to- day, as we hope to answer that of 1900, The world is rapidly passing under the dominion of the newspaper. The telegraph carries its words to all lands and brings tidings from all lands. In time the telegraph and the editorial writers will absorb the fountains of the press. Even now it is almost an axiom that nothing not worth telegraphing to a journal is worth printing. The special correspondent has gone off in the stage coach that carried the political editor, the partisan writer, the “organ” of administrations and parties, gone forever into the blind cave of eternal night. The ten lines we print by cable this moraing take the life out of the ten columns that are coming over the plunging seas: to bo printed two weeks from now in the minor newspapers. We have debates in Parliament reported as fully and almost as clearly as our debates in Congress. The telegraph has driven out the post office. Every morning’s newspaper is becoming more and more completely the history of the day preceding it; and that would be a daring imagination which could divine how completely and thoroughly this office would be filled in the next generation. As it is the age advances, and, true to the duty we owe to the world, we advance with it, Scintillations of the Religious Press. Our Observer (Presbyterian) friend wants to know ‘How to Raise Money.” We answer, talk with old ‘Probabilities’ at Washington. He will tell you “‘how to raise the wind.” In the same paper we find a suggestive article about ‘Lady Teachers in Japan.” Let our New England schoolmarms go to Japan. There they will sooo learn their ‘‘peas” and *‘quenes.” “Saving the Lost” isa very good idea, as we find it suggested in the Odserver, in con- nection with a ‘‘Home for Friendless Women.” A home for the friendless should always be encouraged, but a home for friend!ess women— oh! could there be any better charity? Help it. The Church Weekly, a religious organ that adopts the motto of Cavour, the great Italian statesman—‘‘A Free Church in a Free State,” announces under the heading of the ‘‘Lection- ary,” which word means, according to the Church and State (we do not find it in Web- ster), ‘‘many advantages over the habit of a lawless selection of Scripture readings in public worship.” A “‘lectionary” will doubt- less become a feature in future, when our religious friends haye something new to talk about. <A “lectionary” has, we are led to understand, ‘‘many advantages over the habit of a lawless selection of Scripture readings in public worship.” Cannot the Scriptures be read by some of our people without their being considered ‘‘lawless?” Would their reading among the Swamp Angels of North Carolina be considered ‘lawless A pretty little paper called The Cross in- dulges in some pleasant remarks about the “Press and the Pulpit,” in which the ‘‘ten- dency of the work of the Reformmation” is cleverly discussed. The Jewish Times, the Catholic Tablet, the Catholic Freeman's Journal, the Jewish Mes- senger, the Catholic Boston Pi/ot, the Presby- terian Zoangelist, the Golden Age (‘to whom it may concern”), the Hebrew Leader, and all the rest of the religious papers so welcome to our religious press table, furnish us with assurances that in their several spheres the work of religion, morality and virtue still goes on, and goes on gloriously. the “Old Catholics? of sermapy. Dr. Dollinger a Dr. Dillinger some time since brought his lectures on the ‘Unity of the Christian Churches” to a close, These lectures of the venerable professor, when first contemplated, it was thought would work wonders for the “Old Catholic” cause in Germany, but the results thus far have proven otherwise. There is evidently a lack of harmonious action on the part of the leaders of the Church reform movement. The convention of last September showed such to be the case, and the subse- quent manifestations of the more advanced reformers, such as Fredrick, Huber and others, offer additional evidences in support of the fact. Dr. Dollinger’s own declaration “That the future belongs to the younger gen- erations, not to the older,” suggests the idea that he is not prepared wholly to go the lengths that many of those with whom he is associated are anxious to attain, His lectures, which are reviewed by our Munich correspond- ent on another page of this morning's HERALD, cannot possibly have realized the expectations of bis co Dillinger reached his highest pinnacle of importance when he pub- licly and decisively took his stand against Rome and the decrees of the Council. The boldness of the siep produced surprise when the years of the learned Doctor were taken into consideration. This point gained, what aborers, Catholic” movement, he now falls behind the more youthful and more vigorous men with whom he is laboring in the cause of reform. His late lectures picture the old Professor leaning towards Rome, and hia idea of the unity of the Christian Churches is the return to the fold of Catholicism of all now outside the pale. Storm Signals in the West Indies. The success of our Signal Service observa- tions has provoked honorable emulation in other countries, Krom the West Indies we have interesting intelligence of arrangements to provide meteorological stations there for the previson of those flery meteors and cyclones which issue from the tropical seas and strike into our own Southern territory. For along time Governor Rawson, of Barbados, an able and Intelligent observer and meteorol- ogist, has been at work in taking the rain re- turns from all points within his jurisdiction, and has done much for science in other fields of research. He is now earnestly agitating and organizing a full system of stations for such weather reports ag those of the United States and England. Barbados lies a few miles west of the region in which West Indian hurricanes appear to be generated. This island, standing just outside the Windward Antilles, which form w crescent-like ram- part on the eastern side of the Ca- ribbean Sea, is designated by nature as her own “sentinel, or as a bea- con in these seas;" and from its geo- graphical location is the chosen watch- tower from which science may look out upon the storms of the Atlantic. The enterprise and sagacity of Governor Rawson will forge another and all-important link in the great round of physical investigation and the long- desired international weather system, which will give unity and utility to the meteorological labors of the Old and New Worlds. The Heratp bas long advocated the exten- sion of such scientific observations, whose value to commerce, navigation and our mate- rial interests can hardly be magnified. We bid Governer Rawson Godspeed in his great work, As the Governor happily says, in his message to the Legislative session, ‘“‘It is in the anticipation and prevention of coming evils—in the arrest of their growth and the eradication of their germs, as well as in a prescience of approaching changes and a timely provision for meeting them—that the superiority of modern legislation in civilized countries consist: The Bolting Republican Movement—Too dinte tor 1872—Too Soon for 1876. “It was the remark of a celebrated Roman Consul,” or very well might have been, that the promises of outside politicians should be taken with a liberal sprinkling of salt. But the outside politicians at the Cooper Institute were as cautious in their resolutions as they were loose and generalizing in their speeches. They have set up the merest skeleton of a platform that ever emanated from a new po- litical organization. They believe ‘‘that the political actions of individuals and conven- tions should be left free from the influence of political patronage,” which is the old cry of the outs against the ins from time immemorial. They think “that business men should not, under fear of unjust official interference with their affairs, be compelled to pay tribute for political pur- poses ;” and so say we all, They hold ‘‘that public offices are created for the public con- venience, and not for party services ;” and yet we cannot doubt that if these men should get into power their first reform will be a division of the offices among themselves, according to Marcy’s famous maxim, that ‘‘to the victors belong the spoils.” They declare that ‘‘the triumph of republican principles is of para- mount importance to the country,” but they want anew deal under a new President—any- thing fora change. They go for sweeping reforms in all the departments of the govern- ment, and they believe that the one term principle for the Presidential office will con- duce more to that end than any other meas- ure,” And this is the Cooper Institute platform of the liberal republicans—a display of empty disbes to tempt the palates of hungry men. Nothing here of protection; nothing of free trade ; nothing of the despotic policy of Gene- ral Grant against the constitutional rights of the Ku Klux Klans; nothing of amnesty ; nothing of the wrongs of the blacks or of wo- men’s rights; nothing of the violation of the national honor in those sales of second hand muskets to the French; nothing of St. Do- mingo, Cuba or Mexico—nothing but declara- tions against Grant, but anything to secure an omnium gatherum of free traders and pro- tectionists, and all the outside odds and ends of the country for his defeat. And upon this feeble pronunciamento these reformers of Cooper Institute, headed by the protectionists of the 7ribune and the free traders of the Evening Post, are going to Clncinnati, They are there to nominate two bolting republi- cans—one for President and one for Vice Prosident—and, if acceptable to the democratic party, the democracy are to take them up and run them in if they can. But in making the fight of this coalition a personal fight against Grant where is the per- son who can stand against him? It is agreed that no democrat will do—a conclusion which cuts off Chase, John Quincy Adams, English, Hoffman, Church, Parker, Packer, Hancock, Pendleton, Thurman, Hendricks, and the whole democratic Presidential muster-roll, from Chase down to Andy Johnson. The coalition, in order to invite instead of frightening off timid republicans, who recoil from those ominous words, democrat and democratic party, must confine itself to the anti-Grant republican schedule, and this is limited to Sumner, Fen- ton, Greeley, Scovel, McClure, Cox, Dav is, Trombull, Logan, Gratz Brown and a few others. Can any one of these, under the shield of republican principles, even with the support of the democratic party, cope success- fully with Grant? No; the coalition comes too late for 1872, for the elections of 1871 and of 1872, so far, fought upon the merits of his administration, show that the country is for Grant, Let us suppose that the coalition ticket of Davis and Fenton or Gratz Brown and Gree- ley is set up at Cincinnati, and that the demo- cratic managers have accepted it, are you sure of the democratic masses? Will not the suspension of the party be the dispersion of follows? Admittedly the leader of this “Old | the party and the gain to Grant of a consid- erable share of it? Will not the confasion incident to this experiment of Keeping back the name of democrat, and of keeping always in the front the republican name, disgust the honest old liners and carry them over to Grant or keep them at home? Clearly, in our judg- ment, this passive democratic change of base in 1872 will be more advantageous to Grant than was the clamor for a change of base in the heat of the battle in 1868. The proposed opposition coalition under the republican flag comes too late for '72 and woo soon for ‘76. There is not room for two national parties on the same general platform and the same party flag, and the loose militia organization of the anti-Grant army will be outflanked and fought out, as was General Lee by Grant's veterans from the Wilderness to Appomattox Court House. The State of Deseret—The Last Chance for Mormon Polygamy. There is a fair prospect of tha country again being occupied with the aiggpaton of the Mormon question at the national capital: The irrepressible Prophet, Brighaia, ,6xhibits unmistakably a determination to have’ Utal admitted into tho Union as a State, while, on the other hand, the parties opposing this Statehood are marshalling their forces to give him battle, From all appearances the conflict upon which they are entering will be waged with great earnestness, and quite likely, too, with considerable vindictiveness, While such extensive preparations are mak- ing for a fight a review of the positions of the belligerents and what is likely to result from such a contest is both timely and appropriate. On the Mormon side there is but one argu- ment adduced for the admission of the ‘‘State of Deseret” into the Union. We outnumber, says Brigham Young, in population other Territories which were advanced to the dig- nity and position of States; we are perfectly able to meet the expenses of a State govern- ment; and ‘‘we demand,” adds his apostle Pratt, that our sovereignty be recognized. After this follows the threadbare allegation that the federal officers in the Territory of Utah have always been hostile to the Mormon leaders and have sought to embroil them in trouble with the parent government, and that the liberty and lives of the apostles and proph- ets are constantly endangered so long as federal rule is continued over Utah. To properly impress Congress with the im- portance of these statements Brigham has caused the people of Utah to go through the routine of creating a State government, and has delegated his favorite apostle, Elder Can- non, and two ‘‘Centiles” to bear before the nation’s representatives a memorial praying for admission into the Union, together with a constitution ratified by the people. These documents have already reached the Commit- tees on Territories and have been printed for the use of Congress. On the manner of doing things Brigham has greatly improved since the Utah mines have drawn near to him politicians from both the Eastern and Western States, and little fault can be found with the order in which the ‘‘State of Deseret” has been created. But while all this is frankly admitted there are other points on which the opposition to this Statehood must be heard. The “national party” in Utah, as the oppo- sition are styled, represent that no free State, in the republican sense of the term, can pos- sibly exist in Utah at the present time, and they, therefore, pray Congress to continue over them the federal Territorial organization until an increased population and the changes which the development of the country is cer- tain to make have time to operate upon the Mormon mind with regard to their obligations as citizens of the United States, and thus war- rant the change from Territorial tutelage to State sovereigaty. The strife in Ulah is not the contest of nombers, or the Mormon victory would at once be secure. It isa battle for principle ; it is, in the language of Chief Justice McKean, ‘‘Vheocracy versus Federal Rule.” Ona small scale Utah to-day is the counter- part of the Papal States, with the difference that the successor of St. Peter has actually been a temporal sovereign, while Brigham as yet only aims to be one. The Stutes of the Papal See were never more under the absolute government of the Holy Father than the Utah settlements have been under Brigham Young ; and to admit that Territory into the Union now would not only be to restore Brigham's prestige, but it would clothe him with a power which would enable him to carry out un- checked every whim and fancy of his fickle faith; and of this the loyal citizens of Utah have a fearful dread. Very unfortunately for Brigham, the means he has used to create this new ‘State of Dese- ret,” though iutended to present an appear- ance of fairness, bear evident marks of a very doubtful morality. When the Convention was called for the purpose of framing a constitution for the proposed ‘‘State” about a dozen Gentile gentlemen were nominated along with the faithful Mormon brethren. When the election day arrived the usual Church machinery was set in motion and the people voted the “‘straight ticket,” giving even to General Connor—the man of all men whom for years Brigham has most dreaded—the same number of votes as those given to the most faithful and honored of the apostles. The purpose of this policy was too easily read. In the Convention, too, the claim to growing liberality and change in Brigham’s policy exploded over the discussion upon the voting at elections, The very objec- tionable procedure of numbering the tickets of voters, by which every ballot cast is trace- able, was maintained with all the tenacity ® the past. This style of voting might not be objectionable elsewhere, where men dare to exercise their political rights unchallenged ; but in Utah to ‘“‘scratch a ticket” is a certain evidence of ‘“‘apostasy,” and, with the terrors of the Church hanging over their heads, such a sentiment as freedom of election is a bur- lesque. The constitution now presented for the acceptance of Congress was ratified by the Mormon people of Utah in that style of voting, and to this wrong was also added, it is asserted, the unchallenged voting of girls in their early teens, the voting of wives for absent husbands, and the voting of uonatu- ralized foreigners, &o. The Gentiles took no part in the election, regarding it as a perfect farce, Determined that nothing should be left undone to procure the admission of Deseret into the Union, the fifth section of the ordi- nance preceding the constitution reads, “that such terms, if any, as may be prescribed by Congress as a condition of the admission of the said State into the Union shall, if ratified by a majority vote of the people thereof, at such time and under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Cunvention, thereupom be embraced within and constitute a part of this ordinance.” This is virtually submitting everything to Congress! Congress has, there- fore, but to dictate, and Brigham and the people are ready to obey. Were this real it would certainly be very good. Oar Washington correspondent has pointed out the uncertainty felt at the seat of govern- ment over this sudden humility on Brigham's part. It reminds one of Rictelieu’s observa- tion, ‘He bows too lowly.” It is incompati- ble with the lofty claims to independence which for over twenty years have been asserted with such pertinacity, and it throws a strange glare gger the Utah rebellion of 1857-8. Brigham must not complain if his repentance is doubted. He has preached too much and too loudly against the nation and prayed too often for its overthrow and utter destruction for us to accept all at once his conversion to loyalty. The national party of Utah have their delegates on the way to Washington, armed with memorials and documents, to confroat the Caurch delegates and to evidences before Congress the great wrong it would be to the Rocky Mountain country to admit Utah into the Union, This delegation is a fair representation of the wealthy and loyal men of that Territory, and most of them thoroughly acquainted with Mor- monism and its past history. There is no doubt that they will have a warm welcome at the seat of government; for the feeling is very general that until Utah has been purged wholly and entirely of this foul blot— polygamy—and has done everything to bring to justice the murderers who have gone un- punished in the Territory, and who have been protected by the influence of the Church, there should be no talk of a new State. In past years the Mormon delegations to Washington have only had Congressmen to fight, who knew too little of the people they, had to deal with; but Mormonism, split up and divided as it is, with some of its wealthiest men, its best scholars and writers in open hostility to the head of the Church,, now waging war in deadly earnestness, is new phase. It is Greek that meets Greek now, and there can he little doubt that victory will perch upon the banner of civilization and, progress. A State government was the first and is the last dodge, and is the last chanve for the perpetration of Mormon polygamy; but the trick is too shallow to be entertained for a moment by Congress.
