We berin almost lu fear that the terrible scenes
of cruelty, devastation of peaceful homes and IN
discriminate hunting down of men, women and
children, which disgraced Missouri few years
since during the expulsion Of the Morlnons from
that State, are to be reonacted IN Illinois. Tbs
history of those deeds has never been, and prob
ably never Will be- written; but enough of their
atrocities has been heard from casual rccltals OF
eyf and car witnesses 20 make the soul s!cSe1
with horror at their contemplation. We arc not
tue ap,logists of Joe Smith or Of the nummcries
oi Mo-monism: we arc ready 10 admit that The
existence of that sect in the shape which 1t would
seem Smith is bent imPartlng 10 1t, l. iraught
viii, danger. and should be looked TO b. the proper
power; but in the name oi common humanity We
sand t,p for tleiivcs and security ol helpless wo-
menand innocent children. The Executives OF IL
lino;s and Missouri have had loud and fair warn
mo bv the 1aectin.s in Carthage, Warsaw and
81. Louis. of the dreadful scheme Of arson and
assassination that is going on to e1ternlnate the
Norinons and ii they permit this monsirou>
crime OF the sacking OF i city. The murder o'
mon in cold blood, and the sacrifice OF w"mer
and children 10 the demoniac fury of AN inti 'In'd
mob. they will nor, they cannot he held gu'''ies>


There are nrher means By which The course Of
the Mornoas If uniawfu! or destructive OF the
rights OF others, can be rc-tr.ined and pu' i>hed
bat even il hcre he no immediate legal redfe~s arc
murder, rapnc. dcsaIa'lon, the brant OF civil wsr
bnrle,. among those who should be friends and
neighbors--arc these suitable substitute for a
litc time and patience? Let Tie citizens OF IL
lnois look 10 their rotes when next they approach
the ballot box and examine well for whom and
ior what principles they are cast, and they can
restore the Government of their State 10 hands
that will remove their grievances and reassure
them IN their rights, much, much more speedily
than they can rebuild one log hut sacrificed to
brutal war, or atone for the blood OF single hu-
man victim.
