That wo pledge ourselves to support the nominees of said Convention, and al of the Senatorial and Congressional District Conventions. . ! J?m,3d. That we believe the present State Government to be impolitic, extravagant and tending to impoverish the whole people of the State by its high salaries and fees, and by creating so many unnecessary I offices: and to effect a change we recommend the election of men to the Legislature who are willing to serve the people at the old per diem, and of so reducing the expenses of the JState Government in every department, and of replacing the prt-sent system of Townships and Township Government by our old cheap system of County Courts, a system that was built up by the wisest and purest men that ever lived in any country cr age. !

These reasons are:! 1st. The cum ber of Mormons is greater than that of the in habitants of Khode Island or of Delaware. 2d. Their pruspcrity. They have no fear of the poor-hu.e. lid. Their religion enthusiasm. Their leadtrs are anointed wen God's' prophets. 4th. Their history, i 1 hi, full f tragedies, they learn, if they learn ; nothing t-L-e, 5th. Their fears of temporal and bf hpiritu.-d cnalties. Nine-tenths of the 3!ormons feci that they hold even their lives at the pleasure of their church, t'.th. Their general ignorance.; 'Any culture which stimulates free thought and free inquiry U discouraged, if uot prohibited. , 7ih. Their co . operation iu trade, by which no pr)G?s go out of the church. Sth. Their sjsteui for managing all property. Tin. allows the ap-:irai:ee hut takt away the reality of private property. Oth. Their vigorous propagamtMiti. J Ins promises to per- " Tade the world. lOih. Woman suirrage; this in creases the personal influence oflirlgham You:ig. The sarue writer gives the following reasons for decidingthat the rucc of Mormnnisni, though swift aud strong now, will be sht : 1st. Our Government U determined that it own laws shall be executed iu Utah. This brenks down the prestige of the Mormon govcrnn.cut. 2d. The ccrtaiuty that this d termination will be successful. The Kai.Iroad puts I'tah under the prompt and efficient oversight of U. S. officers 3d. Gentiles are Hot-king to Utah and do not be- ,come Mcrmons. These are at present reckless and vicious, but they prevent the discipline of Mormonism from being. tflVctive. 4th. The force of public opinion. Tourists, having ready access, abound in ULih, aud the Mormons are -.becoming sensitive of the criticism of the Geu tiles. 5th. Polygamy is a weakness. To give it up is to renounce j what has been for many years recommended as a special grace. To re tain it is to curse the community with confusion in family ties and family rights. Cth. The .schisms which have broken ont and are ready to break out. The sons of Joe Smith have claimed to be leaders, and that away from Young, and now the new party uGolleitr$" is giving a great .deal of trouble. 7thJ The Mormons are nsking, Who shall .succeed iri?ham Young? He is in -his seventieth year, and has neither the will nor the wish to nominate his successor. . There is Savages of Dogs, j : r: We hare been much interested in that.portion of the Agricultural lieport for .March and April, whieh concerns dogs and - their ravages. . From 417counties reports have been received of the destruction of about one" hundred thousand head of sheerx It is estimated that throughout the country during the past year all of five hundred thousand sheep have been killed and , as many more initired bv docs, involving an actual loss of two millions of dollars. I In the 24 counties of North Carolina reported about six . thousand sheep have been killed, on an average of 250 to the county. . Supposing! that, in ninety counties the average holds, then N. 0;has lost during th past year 22,500 sheep which at a valuation of $2 per head amount to $45,000.; It is a very remarkable fact that' although this evil has been brought to the attention of the Legislature of North Carolina time and again, it has never yet devised a remedy for: the" eviL Would it not be better, we most earnestly ask, to transfer this annual tax of $45,000 from the owners of sheep to those of dogs, j It may be done, and ought to be done. The dog Is the atjgresor why then should Dot the 'owner foot the bill? ,'If a tax of one or two dollars were laid on every do in the State, a fund might be collected large cr.oucrh to oav for all the sheep destroyed. Ther State of New Jersey enacted at the last session of its legislature an excellent dog law, the pro-' visions of which are 1. 1 A tax of 52 is laid on every dog and, -3 on every hitchl 2. The owner to place on each dog a collar with his name and address. 3. Dogs are to!be registered and num bered in the office of the Clerk of each towuship. 4. That no damages shall be collected by the owner of a dog killed while in the act of destroy- ing cattle, 6heep or poultry. 5. The taxes col lected in each county ori dogs shall be held as a fund out of which the owners of stock destroy ed or injured by them shall be remunerated, and the balance to be used for educational purposes, under the direction of the county school super intendent.

A scattering volley tr two. succeeded bv a scamper to get out of the way of the Canadian troops before somebody gets hurt, is not exactly the best means of conquering a populous and .wealthy country.

In our comments on the card, which had been published over Col.

This county was visited with? heavy rains last week, which under the crrcu in stances, were very acceptable. But the blessin was not unmixed, as the rams were so stron-as to wash a great deal of soil from sloping fields. We learn that Allison's creek rose higher than it has done for many years. Lawrence's mill dam was washed away, and we are told of a fence being carried away which had stood for thirty years. In short, last; week's rain was, as we have heard it expressed, a "real toad-straniiler." lorkciUe Luqntrer. j F.
