Is it not to Ui re in and seek to become like, in moral character,’ the Lord Jesus Christ? How many at* there in this nation who do thus ? How manr. even in the church, are there Hut consciously, and resolutely, and coa -tantlt strive "to briug themselves into Lrfect subjection to the law of Christ ? If this is too much to ask, or to expect of (he nation, how many arc there who have e ren a settled and honest intention to govern their outward life, without devoting their heart, according to Christ’s precepts ? How muj among the people ? llow many among the rulers? Why the church itself—which is always the best of the land—is s >dly deficient in firm and pervading Christian principle ; vhat can be expected Irom the rest of the people ? . . Let us l°°k into this matter a moment. Be*in with the top. Look at the President! Look at the Capitol, and all who are in it. Some high and noble souls—many who have soniejhigh and noble traits; but how are they, taken a! in all, amt year by year ? How far from Christian, both in public and private life. We should not dare look too closely at the conduct, or the hearts of the men we set on high to represent our nation. Look at our State capitals and city halls, and see what manner of doings go on in them. Dare the most whitewashing reporter 1 say that such things prove the Christianity ; of our nation ? Look at our law schools, our medical schools, our West Point. Sodom was scarcely less Christian than these places are. except when now and then God’s Spirit enters the door and cleanses them for a season. Happy is it for human nature that the Holy Spirit can dwell where thou and I, reader, could not endure life. Look at ‘‘society.” Is it with its glare, its hollowness, its pride, its lies, its weari ness at morn, and its fever at night—is ‘•society” Christian ? Look at “philanthropy.” It calls man divine; and it calls Christ “the son of a peasaut sire”—is “philanthropy" Christian? There is a true philanthropy whose baso and whose lifeblood arc the love of Jesus Christ, and man for whom he died; but this is not that which the many really self denying and zealous helpers of man, that are on every side, Reel. Look at literature. The very religious papers, while they on the one side have Christian teaching, on the other have covert thrusts and slurs at the truth, if nothing worse. Are these Christians? Books, large and small—stories, long and short—are made on purpose to poison with infidelity the minds of our people. This, besides the thousand isms that, having no thought for or against Chris tianity, are merely heathen. Our school hooks are heathen. Christianity is as systematically kept out of them as politics are kept by some ministers out of religion. The mass of our scholars—arc they Chris tian or heathen? And the churches— where is there one that contains not one or more known and felt trangressors, that has courage and fidelity enough to try and expel him ? Listen to the conversation of the people. How much do they speak to one another of the Lord, or the thing that he loves ? How many, even of those that would like to feci free to speak at all times such things as the Lord loves to put down in his book of remembrance? Is the conversation of our nation Christian or heathen ? And, lastly, look at the family. How ntany times is that which should be a little heaven rcal’y much more like a little ™‘- The parents unjust, violent, un living; and the children impudent, selfish, quarrelsome. Who does not know' more r| ich families than lie would like to point out ? is there who knows, intimately enough to be a good judge, more than two w three families really leavened and controlled, from father to youngest born, '■ Christian principle ? Are the families "f our nation Christian or heathen? «is a startling thing to look this subject ' a the face. We are not a Christian oation. Britain is not a Christian nation. ere is no Christian nation on the earth—■ '•■is, if we use the name as Lie from whom *c take it would use it. The world is waiting' yet. The true leaven is working, )U J. " le world's will has never yet, in any nation, been lully turned towards Christ ; JJ I that occurs, how can there be a •rnitian nation?

Is there any sane mail win*, believe that, in tho sight of God or in tho face of reason, it is not honorable for a man now to be tho father of forty children as it was ill those earlier times, when it is admitted God revealed Ills mind with tho utmost plainness to His people oil the earth ? I am satisfied that those who talk and write most against us aro ignorant of us, and the workings of “Mormonism,” so termed. If they were to visit ns, unpreju diced, they would soon discover thnt we are not the degenerate and ungovernable people they have been representing us to he. They would find large numbers of bright, intelli gent, nnd healthy children growing up, dcarly beloved and cherished by their parents, who love, educate, and promote the happiness of their oilspring, and aro bound by the most sacred and holy ties to love nnd cherish each other. They would find, too, industry and harmony prevailing in our midst. Hero public opinion declares the adul terer should suffer death ; elsewhere, if wc can believe fbo writer, married and unmar ried indulge in practices too wicked and degraded to contemplate. While men who should he the protectors and guardians of woman’s honor and chastity, hire her to ruin and disgrace, and their bad deeds arc passed by as a thing of no moment. In defamed and maligned Utah, ladies arc respected, virtue preserved and chastity guarded witii the strictest care ; aud trust ing, confiding woman is cared for with the tenderest and most delicate regards. I am safe in saying that there is not one in every fifty of the ladios of our Territory who could possibly be induced, in tho face of all the malignity so unsparingly heaped upon thoir husbands, fathers, and brothers, by pseudo regenerators, to exchange situa tions with the ladies cither East or West. Nay, famine aud the sword, through which ordeals many of us have passed, would fail to induce them to do so. All wc. nsk is, let us alone. Wc are harming no one, and desire to live in peace, undisturbed in pursuing the duties of life —in “minding our own business;” and if others will do the same, they will have a steady and profitable employment. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND MENT. The following is the proposed Article of the Constitution, which must be adopted by the Legislature belore the State can be represented in Congress: Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America , in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, That the follow ing articles be proposed lu the Legislatures of the suvcrsl States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three fourths of said Legis latures, shall he valid as a part of the Constitution, namely : Arti le —, Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are cili zeiis of the United States and of the State wherein they re side. No State shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any Slate deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. See. 2. Representatives shall bo appor tioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of President and Vico President, or for United States Representatives in Congress, executive or judicial officers of a State, or members of tho Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such States, being twenty one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any w r ay abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the’basis of repre sentation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty one years of age in such State. See. 3. No person sha 1 be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previous y taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United Slates, or as a member of any State Leg islature, or as au executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof; but Congress may, by a vote of two thirds of each House, remove such disability. Sec. 4. Tho validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debt incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for services in sup pressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned; but neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave ; but all such debts, obligation nnd claim shall po held illegal and void. See. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. Passed June 13, 1860. We believe that the adoption of this Amendment by five of tho States now under going reconstruction is needed to make it a part of the Constitution. - • • [Advertisement.] For the Cure ol Fever Ague, Dumb Ague, Chill-Fever, Intermitting Fever, old Mismanaged Agues, Had Effects of Agues treated or suppressed with Quinine, Cholngogue Arsenic, and other deleterious drugs, Humphrey's No. 16 is superior.
