Tlio Telegraph informs us, iliat the Cabinet is now in session, deliberating upon the best method of disposing of the Moimon dilllcnlty. Urigham Young, tlio High Priest of the gigantic superstition which has reared its unsightly head iu far distant Utah, calls tlio Faithful together from tlio Mecca-temple of Morinonism in Salt Lako City, and bids deliance to the uowcrof tlio "Genliles." Tm i pndent, criminal, mandating, God-daring, this modern Mahomet invokes the sword to avongo the slightest infringement of his governmental authority, and challenges lite President to commence the work of deposition. He claims to ho s^'e Governor, of Utah, as well as solo PropNet of IJeaveu, and stands npon the law and the testimony as sot down in the book of Mormon, said to .have been dug up by .Joseph Smith, Jr., in tho neighborhood of Palmyra, N.

Tho question, \>hnt- shall bo dono with the Mormon*, or, rather, what shall be done with Utah ? is becoming one of the vexed questions of the day. Nlormonism, instead of waning, is every month . waxing falter, and like Jeshurun, has begun to kielf in a innntior wlimli sKu-lu Ilm loa is* i*.? ! of'the "Gentile#." IjSpfiiltMy!, England Northern Germany; Sweden; Norway, ami the North, have nil contributed to swell the numbers of the followers ofBrigham Young aiul Orson I'mtte. J'roselyting has gone on famously, so famously, indeed,- that the disciples of Mormonism arc to be roMiid prcachipg the doctrines of ihc "new rcvolajjon" in the gay nml enlightened eapitol of Franco. Thousands ipako their way every year over the vast plains and towering mountains of the West, to Salt Lake City, to listen to the oracle's of the Temple and witness their bogus mirnolep, its thousands in years past flocked daily tQ a certain carpenter's shop in Tottenhnnj-court roadvLoudon, to see the cradle which stood ready to receivo tho new-born Messiah, so soon as Johanna Soulhcolo should have brought liiin forth. Mr. Fillmore commenced bungling, nnff tlio Pierce-Marcy Administration bungled terribly in this Mormon business. Political tyros could have done bolter. Vacillation and impolicy wcro evinced at tho outset. and continued to tho uxjurnlion nftlwnrl terms of oflico. The Mormon chiefs saw tliis, ami with the shrewd vision q( wily and sagacious moo, for sagacious and w ilv they are beyond question, regarded litis display of l/oderul weakness as /i happy omeu.? They communicfttod their contidoneo to iho laity ; fortified their houses, and fell themselves securo in their capitol. The appointment of Col. Steptoo lo tho Governorship of Utah. and tffe humiliating backdown of that gontloman, was properly appreciated j i) that nuartor. " Frnnois, of'Anstria, is a goo8P," said Nnpolcdn. "'What istl'.rtt!"

The chiefs of the "Saints" may have been slandered and misrepresented in iryiny respects, yet it is barely possible that thin should be the case. Wo aro inclined to tho opinion that there is considerable discontent among tho dupes of Brighnm Voting, and that a man of nerve, tact and discretion, backed by an ample armed force might eft'ect a segregation of these mnlcon tents from tho chiefs.

The President has. j so far, evinced a tardiness in tlio matter,! which will induce us soon to nlaco him in ^ the category of the bunglers who have preceded In in. Sonic of t?io newspapers take a queer view of this Mormon a Hair. They ponnec j upon (lie peculiar institutions of Utah, and are dreadfully irate because they do not comport with those of tho Atlantic States. Softly, gentlemen. Polygamy and the Hook of Mormon havo nothing at all to do with tho political aspect of the matter. Tho question is simply this: shall Brigham Voung and his followers assert and main- I tnin n llirdinr law I linn tlin pnimliliitlnn I shall tlioy be com pel lod to respect the edicts of that instrument, nnd (ho lnws properly emanating from it ? Shall the " Later Day Saints," while l/tah is in a territorial capacity,. seluct-ihefr own rulers and defy the General (Juvcrument to dppopo them, or shall tho rre&idon't, in pursuance of plainly vested powers, nominntn n innii (it fnr 11? position; nnd accordingly place him, to- ] gether with tho judiciary and subordinate otlicors,iu the administrative ofliecsof Utah? The Constitution recognizes no particular j religion, but extends its protection aliko to all. It guarantees to every person, whether in a sovereign Slate or a Territory to woiship Ood according to the dictates of his conscience, and to hold whatsoever faith he plcnses. Even tho Atheist is protected in his diabolism, nlthongh his religion is to recognize no Supreme Intelligence, And the Deist who discards the Hible. Religion was purposely scpaiated from politics by the wise framers of the Constitution, though ri i.i)o v/onvcmion was composed of men ol various religious denominations. We know iruii polygamy is hekl in abhorrcnce by the Cbiistian world, and justly so, too, but it h a feature of the Mormon faith, and if (hey think it does not violate the decrees of Providence, nnd choose tJ take the responsihi' ity, their light to do so cannot be calle.i into question by the political wot Id. A different view of the subject is nil moonshine. Why, !wk nt it, !t is assumed I hot Mormonism is antagonistic to llepublionnism because it may, if permitted to exist, estab l lish n theociaticnl government. The Abolitionists affirm that our peculiar institutions nre antagonistic to Itepublicahism.and therefore. slavery, they say, should be demolished, utteily annihilated. Now^ we contend that it is not, that our institutions Jo not in me least concern them, nnd further, that we have a right to extend it over the Ter- ! Miotics, if the majority of the people there- J ir? shall see fii to sanction the extension.? ! Tho Terriloties are the common property of nil tho Statos, nnd as such, the people, in the formation of State Oovornments, shall determine what institutions they will have.

The case of the Moimons is exactly in point, and the render cnn at once see thnt we must accord to them thesnme piineiplea in the formation of their State Government which wo demand for ouraelve*, and that no institution established in Utah, which tfocs not conflict with tho supremo law of the land, though it be abhorrent to our nense of religious pro prieiy, furnishes ? reason for tlie non-admission of Hie Territory. Wo cannot net upon tho more presumplion that a theocracy in Utah meditates the destruction of Republicanism.

Failing iu everything else, abolition fa j mvueism is seeking to depreciate the institution of slavery by false arguments as to the relative "prosperity" of tho Northern nnd | Southern States, addressed to the cupidity rather than the patriotism of the people.? I Population is estimated as wealth, and not 'i i _.! i i inc fuiiininiiive MiiH iH'iiuence anu oomrori | of thoso who constitute that population. \ i The starving prices of labor are never taken | | into account, so there is "population," and I upon this basis a dozen Massachusetts chim ney sweeps or factory operatives, working for the pittanco necessary to bear subsis| tance, are counted as equal to a dozen in; dependent and prosperous Tennessee ngrij cuiturintR or mechanics. It matters not with then) how many hovels of porerty there may be in the prospect, so they are looked ,.n,m I... ll?? n..1.w.A-, ,.f ??..! k . j and these poor and demoralized masses r.re | deluded into the belief that Southern slavei ry is in competition with them and constitutes the great curse of the country. It has been with deep regret that we hftve seen many of the Know Nothing papers of the South echoing this cuchOo song or Abolitionism, to the effect that "populai tion" is the great desideratum to be arrived nt in free government, ns constituting the ' true basis of prosperity and happiness with j the people. Tho most prominent among the number nro (lie National-Intelligencer, | the Unltiniore Americnn, Richmond Whig i and Louisville Journal, countenanced and i copied fiom by the Nashville Banner and ' other papers in Tennessee. Tho condition of "poor old Virginia" is j regarded b}' these professed philanthropists as deplorable in the extreme, and sbe has. therefore, received the largest share, of their mawkish sympathy. They speak in feeling terms of her exhausted and waste lands ; her unprogrcssivc population ; her heavy debt, nnd the heavy tide of emigration that is setting off for tho open territories of the W est. The inference Ueducible from all litis is, in abolition phrase, " the cursc of | slavery." The frank and manly coursc of the Democratic papers of the North, upon this subject, presents a striking and pleasing con I traM. National, bold and patriotic, they I y'cld no truckling subserviency to anti-slave* j ry fanaticism, but make for the South a dci fenco against these assaults that have been | encouraged by n portion of our own journals, I f..n 1 i!.:? i 11 1 j <?3 mi! <tuu uiicuixiiuuiiiii us we cuuiii miiKC fbr ourselves. Prominent among this class of Northern Democratic papers are the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Uoston Tost, the New Yoi'k l)ny ' Ho'-k, rnd the Journal of Commerce. Wo havo ]>een led to these remarks by n recent article headed " Southern Progress" I in the last mentioned journal, defending the j | slave States against this character of as- j j saults, from which we make the following j j extract : A 'ending element of their nggrosMvc 1 plans is denunciation. Their mnxim is to "spare no arrows." There are journals in this city which take the liberty of participating in this spirit of calumny, and they ?;Xport it to Europe, fco thai the people there are mfcied.
