Well: the mails, as the postmaster in.

himself; the northern mail was taken
out by Mr.. Steele, early in the evening,
after lie had told us it would not 90 ont

the office before at that hour; il was
safe enough at the tavern until our pa

the Post Office; the young man could
be walked up to put it back-could be
walked twice by us, to get the papers
in-but could not be walked when the
stage went out; he could alDays be
walked before; somebody carries the
bag back, after it had been gu, five or
six hours, and but few hours before

Steele is anxious to know who carried
it back; the driver says he did ii bv

What n pictured What chapter of
accidents! VIVA, consistency! T.E
We have taken considerable trouble
and been al some expense TO trace this
matter up, and see who was TO blame,
and we have shown that either by de-
sign or the gross negligence of Mr..
Steele, both VIC and our subscribers
have been ontrageously imposed on; all
who wcre interested in the northern
mail. Qhe most important one for
twelve monthly have shared the Same
fate. The mail could have been gotten,

was determined our papers, containing
the message, should no, leave here by
that mail, and before we are done with
the subject, and without we are verv
much mistaken. we shall ge, evidence
10 establish this fact more fully, as well

Messrs. Frink q. Co., Mr.. Seele's EN-.

investigation on their part, of the facts

THE MORMONS.

Among other memorials and petitions
presented TO the Senate on the 3lst ult.,
was one from citizens of Kentucky,
claiming to be the legitimate success.
ors of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet,
oblocting to the establishment of the
Government of Deseret, and charging
the people Of the city Of Salt Lake
with reasonable designs, they having
taken secret oaths TO avenge the death
of Joe Smith upon the nation. and to
pursue that design until the end of time.
Mr.. Underwood read, in connection
with the memorial, an extract from a
statement made in the 81. Louis Re.
publican, which stated that the citizens
Of Deseret were lawlessly trying citi.
zens of Missouri on charge of aiding
The expulsion of the Mormons from
Missouri-that they were exacting du
ties upon the effects Of California emf
grants passing through their city. Mr.
Underwood thought the statement gave
coloring to the memorial.
Mr.. Douglass said he had seen the
statement, and Intercepted Rabbit, the
Representative from Deseret, who OK
planned, saying, that the citizens of Sal
Lake having formed a government
found II necessary to establish mean.
Of revenue, and had imposed a duty
upon all goods brough, into the city
whether Mormon or not, but no duty
was exacied on goods going through.
