From the villages which were once the seats of Puritanic propriety we receive painful intelligence of crime, besides many a tale that marks a want of religious restraint. The great West heaves with its excess of life, suspended as it were between a magnificent destiny and an ignoble materi- alism. Polygamy has planted its homes in the fertile plains that were an unknown region a few years ago, and Paganism has erected its altars of idolatrous wor- ship on the shores of the Pacific, Honest and a...ble men prefer the retirement of private life, to an expo- sure of character and person amidst the vulgar pas- sions that infest the scenes of public duty ; and, worse than all, the people are losing their faith in freedom, in goodness, and in God. Life is becoming a scram- ble for outward success ; politics are given over to unworthy management; and, unless some check be provided, the future pages of our history will describe the decadence and fall of the noblest structure ever raised by human hands.
