" BÄIQHAM Y0UNO ON WHINING WOMEN MaJfAOlMlVT OF DUArPOTJITED WIVEI EMANCIPATION OF TU K HAREM. Sar.uon Pr )acbe4 by Hrlgbam Youn Nor.l.,1, injur It ia frequently happening that women say that they are unhappy. Men will aay, "My wife, though a most excellent woman, has not aeon a happy day aince I took my scoond wile;" "No, not a happy day for a year," saya one ; and another has not seen a happy day for five yeArs. It ia aaid that woman are tied down, and abuaed ; that they are misused and have not the liberty they ought to have ; that many of them are wading through a perfect flood of tears, because of the conduct of some men, together with their own folly. I wish my own women to understand that what I am going to any ii for them as well as othera, and I want those who are hereto tell their sisters, yea, all tho women of this community, and then write it back to the States, and do aa you please with it. I am going to give you from this time to 6th day of Oc. next for reflection, that you m.Ay determine whether you wish to stay with your husbands or not, and then I am going to set every woman at liberty, and ?ay to them, "Now, go your way my women with the rest;" go your way. And my wives have got to do one of two things; either round up their shoulders to endure the afflictions of this world and live for their religion, or they may leave, for I will not have them about me. I will r;o into heaven alcne rathr thin have scratching and Gghting around me. I will set all at liberty. "What, firat wife, too! " Yes, I will liberate you all. I know what my women will say ; they will say: "You can have as many women an you please. Brigham." Bat I want to go somewhere and do something to get rid of the winners; I do not want them to receive a part of the truth and spurn the rest out of doors. I wish my women, and brother Kimball's, and brother Grant's to leave, and every woman in this Territory, or else say in töeir hearts that they will embrace the Gospel the whole of it. Tell the Gentiles that I will free every woman in this Territory at our next conference. "What, tht first wife, too V Yes there shall not be one held in bondage ; rtll shall beset free. And then let the father be the head of the family, the master of his own household ; and let him treat them as an angel would ttmi them ; And let the wives and children say amen to what be save, and bo subject to his dictates, instend of their dictating to the man instead of their trying to govern him. No doubt some are thinking, "I wish brother Brigham would say, what would become of the children." I will tell you what my feelings are ; I will let my wives take the children, and I have property enough to support them, and can educate them and then gie them a good fortune, und I can take a fresh star.. I do not desire to keep a particle of my property, except enough to protect me from a state ot nudity. And

I would ear , wlvea you aro wi to mv children, only tlo not

them iniquity ; for if you do send an elder, or come IHV I toll rill teaoh them th gospel. You tench thorn lifo and salvation, or I will sind elder to instruct them. Lctovorv mtin thus treat his wives, r keeping raiment enough to clothe hla body; and say to your wives, "take nil that 1 have rum De set at iioeny , but if you atay with mo you shall comply with tho law of Oodi nd thai too without any murmuring nnd whia e a s . irt it t I . t n,nK' ou mw"1 mm" UXP mw " I lud in every respeet your shoulder to walk 0 1 without any grunting Now recollect, that to-morrow I urn golt liberty.

It la th duty of overy rl eoua man and uvery woman j.i para tabernaeloa fur all the aplrlla ihvy can. denen, if my women luave, I will go and search tin others who will abidu (ho celestial law, and h l all 1 now have go whoru they plensu ; though I will send lite BMftJ to them. Tins is the reason why tho duett me of plurality of wivoa was revealed, that thu uoblo apirita which mo wailing for tabernacles might bo brought forth. If tint men of tho world were riuht or If they were any where near right. there might uot be IneBecajeUy whieh there now is, Hut (buy are wholly rjiw ii up to idolatry, and !. all manner of wickedness. Do I think that my children will he damned? No. I do not, for I am going to light the de II until I aavo them alt ; 1 nave got my sword ready, and it is n iwo cdgt I I havu not a fear about that, lor 1 would almost I ashamed of my body If it would boget a child that law of Ood. Ol a.W a. a a a would not abide tinlgh I may have some unruly children. i am iroiug to ask j ou a good many things, and to begin with. I will ask what is your prayer? Do you not ask for the righteous to increase, while the unrighteous hall dooreatu uiid dwindle away? If ua. that is the prayer of every peron that pny at all. The MetlrodiaH pray for it, ;ho Baptists pray for it, and the t'hurh of England und all the reformers, the Shaking Quaker not excepted- And if the women belonging to thin church will turn .Shaking Quakers, I think their sorrows will soon be at an end. Sisters, I am not jokintr; I do not

throw out my proposition lo banter asked me il your feelings, to see whether you will ner lL.ason, leave your husbands, all or any of perfect in you. But I do know that there is noL;j s),e w

cessation to th everlasting whining of many of the women in tl ry; I am satisfied that this is the case And if too woman will turn from the commandments of God and continue to despise thu order of Heaven, I will pray that the curse of thu Almighty may be close to their heels, and that it may be following them all thu day long. And those that enter into it and are faithful, I will promise them that they shall bu queens iu IJeaven, and rulers to all eternity. "But," says one, "I want to have mj paradise now." And says another, "I did think I should bu in paradise if I was scaled to Mr Brigham, and I thought I should bu happy when I became his wife, or Br, lieber'. I love l you so much that I though I waa going to have a heavei'. right off, light here on thu spot." What a curious doctrine it is, that we aro preparing to enjoy ! The only heaven fo- you is that which you make yourselves. My heaven is heru laying hu hand upon his heart. I carry it with mc. When do I expect itin its perfection ? When I come up in the resurrection; ihm 1 shall havu it, and not till then. But the woman come and sav, "Really Br. John, and Br. William,' 1 thought you wcro going to make a heaven tor mc," and they get into trouble because a heaven is not made for them by the men, even though agency is upon women as well as upou men. True, thero ie a cursu upon the woman that is uot upon the man, namtly, that "her w lo affecti QBjf shall bu toward her hu land," and what is tho next ? "1. shall rule over you." But how is it now ? Your desire ia to your husband, but you strive to rule over him, whereas the man sh uld rule over you. Some may ajk whether that is the case with me ; go to my house nnd live, and then you will learn that I am very kind, but know how to rule. If I had only wise men to tulk to there would bo no necessity for my saying what I am going to say. Many and many an elder know no better than to go home and abu-. good a woman as dwells upon this earth, because of what I have BOsVl this afternoon. Aru you, who act in that way, lit to have a family ? No, you are not. and never will be, until you gel good common sensu. Then you can go to work and magniiy your callings ; and you can do the best you know how , and on that

I will promise you salvation, I n no other principle.

Ho has been absent for j several weeks, exploring Southern Kansas, commissioning civil officers ! and arresting lio Mate men. He claims thu credit of having restored iie.w , mid ouiet io that distracted ni lion of our territory, hiving driven out the armed bands of marauders that for some time have Infested that region, with the exception of nc band of thieves who, having come up from ' Arkansas; are committing deprcda- ; tions in the vicinity of Fort Scott, j robbing from every one. The Governor had ordered a comp tny of troops! to be stationed in that neighborhood, i to drive litem out. A rich sceno transpired in the Ex ecutive Office, this afternoon, and it was my good fortune to bo present at me time. I hu uuvimor was in convenation with I Mr rappen, of Lawrence, who.

Tappan replied that they denounced him for not arresting the five hundred murderers of Buffbn, as well as Col. Harvey's men at Hickory point, and have them inc'icted and imprisoned as murderers, thu same as thu Free State men had been dealt with by his ordt The Governor said that "the company among whom the murderers were, belonged to the militia: were called into the service by the acting Governor at the time; that he hnd no authority ta interfere, and that he had offen d I reward of 9600 for the apprehension of the murderer, and he had been arrested and was now in prison awaiting trial, costing him 8700." Tappan expressed surprise that the murderer was in prison and that hu had not heard of it. The Gov. said: "You don't hear anything in Lawrence that I do, that shows a disposition to punish all parties that commit offences." T. protested against the insinuation, and stated that the people of Lawronce would give him credit for all he did that was fair and just, land now that it was known that a pro-slavery IVinn B , . i I , I . 1 i . , .

The chief magistrate of this Territory was astonished I shall not soon forgot the expression of surprise depicted upon his countenance at that moment, while he stood looking upon tho different persons in the mom with a wild and earneat gale. At laat he thundered out. "Hew in the devil eould hat man be released on bail, be waa committed on charge of murder. He baa bed no trial. The Grand Jary found a true bill against him. It is an oatrage. No free tat man woetd have been admitted to I, d. and you know It. I will investigate the matter with- , inn my name dtach have an'afteet.

The amount of bail is ton thousand dollars and 1 would give that fur biro at any time, he is a good fellow." The Governor, indignantly: "There It is gentlemen.

They had displeased the Governor, and the wayjto get out of it was now the great question. Marsbai Donaldeon aoon arrived. The Governor made a statement of the great outrage, and ordered him to arrest thia man Hays, as soon as possible, mid bring him to Lcc mpton. Donaldson was surprised, and he wae soon in private council with Titus, Jones and Woodson. His excellency walked he floor, occasionally breaking out in a loud voice, denouneing the release of the cowardly murderer, and what he waa going to do about it. The Governor is getting into hot water. He haa a careful eye to hia reputation. Wants lo leave a name behind htm. Ambitious, a strong will, but not a strong character. He is in a tight place, and the termination of this arf&ir will show whether it is his determination or not to prosecute pro-slavery men a well as members f the other party.

Pulaski county, which gave 246 votes for Treasurer, now tains out 800 majority for Buchanan, Union county, which never gave 1 ,000 votes, now rolle up 1400 majority for Buchanan.
