POLYGAMY IN UTAH.
The American correspondent of the London ‘ Times ’ telegraphs the following passage from a charge delivered in the United States Court at Salt Lake City by Chief J ustice White. Speaking ot polygamy, he said ;—“ We had better look it squarely in the face, distasteful as it may be to some. Let us govern ourselves by right reason and manly discretion in dealing with it. Polygamy must be suppressed iu this Territory. Mormonism may survive, and, relieved from it, would stand unshackled as every other creed of religious worship shielded and protected by the Constitution ; but if Mormonism cannot separate itself from polygamy it will be to it the bridal of death.”
