THE SPIRIT OF MORMONISM.

The Anti-Polygamy Society at Salt Lake has addressed an important memorial to Congress, showing that while the Mormon representatives in Washington are petitioning the Government for amnesty, and promising obedience to the law, the leaders at Salt Lake are openly defying it, and are adding to the number of their polygamous wives, while their organs are constantly abusing the court that pronounced the law constitutional. They ask the present Congress to amend the law so that conviction for illegal marriage may be made possible. It would be a disgrace to the nation if the law declared constitutional shall not now be made operative, so that the penalties against the foul crime may be rigidly enforced.—Christian Weekly.
