From Mormondom.
We have the Kanesville Frontier Guardian of the 24th ult. It goes the straight Whig ticket for the then approaching (since past) Iowa election, so that we trust Mr. WRIGHT for Congress, ob-tained a satisfactory vote there. The leader says:
"It may well to observe that there are some who are Democrats in principle, who belong to this community, and feel like voting for the Loco-Foco ticket. Let us ask them a few simple questions:
"1st. Are you willing to cast your votes for men who have been guilty of robbing you and your friends of their most sacred rights at the ballot-box? We answer, No!
"2d. Are you willing to cast your votes for men who perhaps in the halls of legislation will declare themselves prepared to lead a band of outlaws to drive you from your peaceful homes? (as Dr. Sel-man, Speaker of the Senate of the Legislature of Iowa, did last winter) We answer again, No!
"3d. Are you willing to vote for men who in the halls of Congress declare you to be 'Aliens and foreigners, roving gipsies, outlaws, minors, and not twenty-one years of age.' We answer, no!
"4th. Are you willing to vote for men who are willing that you should be taxed (and do tax you,) for the benefit of the State, without granting you the right which is conferred upon every American citizen, the right of representation? Read the above and ponder. It is the very cause which your forefathers fought, bled and died for, 'The right of representation.' Let every voter reflect and con-sider well before he casts his vote for any other than the one which has been regularly nominated, for if you do you will regret it.
"Don't forget that the first Monday in August is the day! Every legal voter is expected to be on hand.
“George W. Wright, the nominee for Con-gress, is the person who defended our rights in the last Iowa Legislature. Remember this when you go to the polls."
—There is a good deal more such talk—all to the point, including cautions against split tickets, visiting grog-shops, and voting for candidates who connived at the stealing of the Kanesville poll book. We guess those who stole it will lose more than simple interest by the operation.
—The Editor states that Horse Thieves abound throughout that region—one A. J. Cassner having just been arrested, who says he belongs to a gang of eleven, who have been doing a thrifty business. Cassner escaped from the constable. The follow-ing Apostolic counsel is given to the Saints on the occasion:
"We would suggest to any person or persons that have harbored any of this gang of thieves, or fed them, to stop it, if they do not wish themselves to be in any way identified with this gang of scoun-drels.
"Persons who have horses had better keep their fire-arms in good order, and if they see a thief taking off their horses to check him by shooting him down."
The brethren are urged to provide promptly for the Education of their children. The Editor re-joices that a Meat Market has been opened at Kanesville. He gives the following good advice to his farming readers:
"The period has now arrived to sow your turnip seed, to cut hay, &c. Remember the scarcity of the latter this spring. We hope that our friends and brethren will pay particular attention to El-der Hyde's counsel in the 11th No. of the Guar-dian, respecting this, and other matters in connec-tion equally important.
"The Bishop says that he is ready to receive your offerings and tithings whenever you feel disposed to place them within his reach. Would it not ap-pear like the commencement of the Millennium, to see every man bringing his tithing to the store-house, shaken down, pressed together and running over? The Lord hath promised to such, that he will open the windows of heaven, and pour out blessings even to abundance. The Lord's acts are liberal, and he takes delight to see his Saints follow his example.”
Another article states that Morality is on the in-crease; while the following seems to have consider-able pungency:
"TRADING POINT EXPEDITION.—We sincerely hope that all those who were engaged in the late expedition to Trading Point, may hereafter observe more strictly the ‘Mormon Creed;' viz: 'To mind their own business,' and let others do the same.—We believe that the aforesaid expedition was en-tered into, by those who went, with a view to ben-efit both places, and see justice administered to the party concerned. However, we think had the parties drank less whisky, before starting and on the way, they would have been able to accomplish their object much better, and with less noise.
"We are not in favor of horse thieves going at large in this country, when known to be such, nei-ther are we in favor of Lynch law being enforced; but that such characters should be treated as the law directs. We must say (with due deference toward the Legislature of Iowa) that the law in this country is in a very crippled condition; and we hope that the wise men in the Legislature, will consider our case, and see the necessity of es-tablishing a Circuit Court in this county, for the benefit of its inhabitants, so that thieves, and other desperadoes, may receive that punishment which they so richly deserve. We are daily pestered, on the frontier with vagabonds, who are too lazy to work, and too thievish to want, and too wicked to do any good, except guarding grog-shops, and, in the performance of that duty, they slip in, and get drunk, and then some person has to take care of them. Look out for such men, and let the scorn and contempt of an injured public make their hell so hot that they cannot stand it."
—The following is all the news we can find from the Salt Lake country:
FROM THE PRESIDENCY.—We clip the following extract from a letter written at Great Salt Lake City, April 13, 1850, by the Presidency of the Church, to Elder Orson Hyde. The extract is brief, but it comprehends a great deal, and our brethren and friends would do well to read it and treasure it up:
"We have not much to say, or not much time to add to what we have written. It is a very busy time with us. The weather is fine and the breth-ren are very busy putting in the wheat, and from present appearances, we shall need double the hands at harvest we now have. We anticipate a visit from you (Elder Hyde,) this summer, and hope you will bring many reapers along, for we shall need them. The public works are languishing for help, and we want the Saints at home.
"Push the Saints to Zion, and persuade all good brethren to come, who have a wheelbarrow, and faith enough to roll it over the mountains, &c.
