THURSDAY, JANUARY SO, 1M1. il "i-gae ■BJgaLiiJL- » ksjli TUB ADVANOB We felt aura when we took charge of the Advance that we tonld be ready by this issue, to en large the paper, htitanotheu disap- po^iitweat has bee<l added to onr oonataatly increasing list. We fail ed to got the mule rial "needed, he cause if was not ou hand where we expooted to obtain It; aad we Im*e to look elsewhere. U is more mor tifying to ui than to auy one oLe. for we delight in prosntuesi*. fit may, and the spirit of onr con-, tftitotiou frhat#rer il maj- as to re ligious toloamce, polygamy fa a blot tpnn oor history, shameful and disgraceful in f|i character, bane ful m its infnoijk.es, and in its mor al at»pe. t, as an institution tolera ted by tbe government, a standing insult to tbe .Almighty, under wi ioho guidance aad protection wo profeee to gottni, aid it ought to be extirpated. er Oonuuaiiitn aad InutlfraUn l/ownififiieir, predicted by *u imminent clergyman a few yeur* ago is, in fulfillment of his proplte- ey, already getting a f>ot hold in America, and menacing the peace, property, ami lives oi'tlio people in its strong bolds. This institution, if sncli we may tall it, is not, in our opinion, of in digenous growth; or ii it is, iv rapid pevelopnient in this couatry is tlv result of au influence that curnss with iuifoigratiou. The retort of cuiieut events in the old world is l «tdp,iad with re ports ot the doing* of this element, from which, as shown by Mr. Byers in his letter, copied on our tir^t page two weeks ago, our immi grants largely cou*o, which should lessen the ardor ol immi^rationist; yet, individuals and corporations continue to enterprise for ils en couragement. We repAn^ it, it ia a mistaken policy that Books a denser popula tion than we have in the near pro* pcct by natural increase; und a su icidal one that court* a promiscu ous immigration from foreign gov ernments It will ceartainly prov disastrous to our most cherished institutions it it succeeds. Utah and NoimonUm Gov. Murray of Utah lias issued a certificate of election to Hen. A. G. Campbell instead of to Geo. Ij. Cameron, as dclogato to congress from Utah, which was rather unex pected to Mr. Campbell. lie expresses himself as not par ticularly jubilant over the decis ion, as, being determined not to waver, but tojlend his best endeav ors to es-tiblish republican govern ment in Utah, where there is now no government but the most abso lute oligarchy that the world ever knew, ho expects to be ostracised. While lie docs not hope, by dis franchising polygamist, to wrest the balance of power from the hands of the Mormon element, but thereby to place the two distinct classes, Mormon and Gentile, on the same level, and let the future rest in the hands of those that obey the laws. He thinks an attempt by the government to enforce a law a- gainst polygamy by force of arms, w ould not meet with any serious resitance, as the very institu ions of Mormonism render them cow ards; and that while their leaders wrould exhaust all resoursces to control legislation, they dare not attempt armed resistance with the Mormon element, devoid as it is of the spirit of independence or or resistance. B. th: question ©fr.aietaue-; *u, Against the.posrtivaly wrong, or .erratic, aft ft .-rah-rlcd un sparingly, by opposites and neu ral* in whatever department of life’s intercut* they may be related. Rut we are not sure tlmt the im pre tested are possessed of lose inanl’- ness than some who condemn them immoderately. The eecular world admire! ihn character ot such a man as wus Bt. JW ; aud in pro portion to the manliness of the in dividual admirer. He wue intensely positive, and in that fact is found the reason loreaid admiration. A positive character in the wrong, is only manlinets gone astray ; and as such ie a dangerous foe to any interest with which it is in conflict; b»t if it* direction can he changed, it becomes a formidable ally; but we ur* not prepared t* admit that the world is so much less cursed by negation*, (those who are not manifestly bad, or wrong, only be cause of imbecility or oowardiee), a* *oine seem to think. It is a correct philosophy, that one is negatively a foe to that which he does not befriend, if it comes within rang* of his action, lie mmt “gather with/’ or “scutt. r abron<V’ Ho cannot bp with and from at Hie same time. Ii we are right, in the preceding proposition, it i* apparent that the balance of power may rest with thase negative creatures who go with the drift; and consequently the world cursed by their being in i*. To illustrate, and at the same time apply onr moralizing on this line, let us suppose a community, forty-five per cent, of which is composed ot well disposed persons; endeavoring to effect some impor tant socinl, educational, political or other reform, all ot ‘them inde pendent and learloss spirits, that dare to act for the best regardless of the multitude; and forty-five par cent, of positively and fearless ly wrong, oppose them, while the remaining ten per cent, are incapa ble of independent action, and mov ed by ouftBide pressure whenever they act; and wa sec that this sand- whiched nothing-patch may deter mine tho question of success. Oas es in point often como under our observation. Again, a community or society may, by tho aid of all its members can render, accomplish some desir ed end; such as building a good school house, supporting a first- class school," establishing semo in dustrial enterprise, koeping up church institutions, or else commendable; but a few are 1 cowards or imbeciles, and while they do not oppose, they give no assistance, and consequently there is a failure. Ho is a poor “gipe,” who has no flattering unction to lay to his heart save that ho does not oppose any thing good. He does no good un less, like the nail under the car penter’s blows, ho is driven ; and then ho deserves no credit, just as be ie.’iertws from positive wrong, only because he is afraid to commit it. *A liv ing dog,” kiokad, cuffed and exc- eratad **i« better than a dead Mon,” loathsome aad linking, however nobl* he might be if aliv*. We would nay to our young rea dera: while yoa cherish docility, and attend respectfully to the ad vice of your superiors in wisdom and experience, cultivate an iad*. peudence and poaitiveness of aharac ter, that buspaaks a mauly spirit, ready to h«ar and discharge the responsibilities that are rightfully yours. Don’t be content to live to no purpose, and to die without be ing missed from the walks of use fulness. G1CNEAL NEWS. J«-f!sr»oa Davis and his aife anti daughter will sail for Europe next JUBS.
