THE MoRMoSs AT SALT LAKE.-A letter in the
St. Louis Intelligencer, from gentleman said to
occupy responsible station in the United States
army, gives shocking account Of the private and
public crimes the domestic RIGHTEOUSNESS, auda-
cious treason and cruel tyranny that prevail in
the Mormon settlement of Salt Lake Valley But
for the unimpeachable character of the writer, it
would be difficult to believe some portions Of his
narrative. The details of mormon wickedness, out
rage not only every precept of religion and NOR
ais, but every feeling of ordinary humanity. 1t
appears that there is crime which has not full
justification among them, if perpetrated against
the 'Gentiles, as they cali those who are not mem
bers of their own sect Brigham Young, their
MAN of God, as he is profanely styled, exer
cises an unlimited command over his deuded fol-
lowers. Let but "a Gentle incur his dispeasure

hounds OF destruction are instantly on the track
The property of American citizens is often seized
and confscated, the owners deprived of their
liberty and loaded, like fclons with balls and
chains, without any trial, or even any known &C
cusation Brigham Young arrogates to himself
the perpetual right of Governorshp: and declares
that if the United States should send an officer to
exercise authority there, he would resist the at
tempt to the death. Those Americans who spoke
against him Mormonism should have their

From that moment the American emgrants be-
came the objects of Mormon vengeance.
These atrocities, and openly hostile attitudes of
Governor Young, cannot fail to be duly noticed
by the Federal authorities. Without meddling
with what is called their religion effective meas
ures should be taken to chastise their nsolence and
cruelty, and protect the honest emigrants.
Bragg and Langdon, the rival candidates for
Congress in the Mobile District, both held offices
before the election. Bragg was Circuit Judge
and Langdon was Mayor of Mobile Bragg re-
signed his Judgeship before the election, but Lang

that Bragg is good dog but hold fast better, is
entirely exploded by the result, for Bragg is cleo

Since woman put the breaches on.

Voice of the Vermont wings.

As many of The journals of the doughiace or

treasomble efforts now made m that quarter, for
violating the Constitution with force aud arms,
it may not be emss TO take look at quarter

where there never was a slave, and where Of
course, the independent tillers of the soil have
always manifested the same steady attachment
to the great Wing principle of the revolution,
Equal rights for all men"
The policy Of the State Of Vermont has new
er been blasted by the influence Of the cotton
trade. From the time her hardy SONS took the
field, under Ethan Allen, Colonies Warner, Franz
els and lierrlck. there has been a determination,
while they maintained their own rights, to re-
spect those Of other men.

less reason to blush on review of their history.

Juice Sparkling, Of Ohio in recent speech
at loledo, thus expresses himself IN relation 10
the late fugitive slave law;
The Secretary Of State has claimed recently
ia his Buffalo speech, that the Constitution re-
qurcs that fugitive slaves should be returned
Mr.. Webster IS great lawyer, but he cannot
read plain English any better than YOU or me.
The Constitution has no such provision, and
the debates, as taken down by Mr.. Madison
show that II was never intended that the free
Suites should be subjected TO the trouble or ex-
pcnse of returning the iugitNes. The Free
States simply stipulated, boy the adoption of the
Const tuition, that they would refrain from IN
terposng any hinderancc 10 the recovery OF fu
gtye slaves, by their masters, when they should
reclaim what they consider TO be their property,
within tle bounds of free territory.
The clause IN the Constitution Is prohibition
upon the free States for interfering actively IN
behalf OF the shave; and It may be considered as
suspendlng or uhrogaung so much of the law of
Nature as would give 10 the slave his freedom.
whenever he could plant his foot upon the soil of
a free State, But It Is no warrant Ia Congress
TO enact any law upon the subject, least of all one
that dlsgraees civilization and infcts pains and
penalties upon the free citizens in our free States
If they shall attempt TO exercise the commouest
acts of charity.
As judicial officer in the State of Ohio
sworn 10 support the Constitution of the United
States as we'll as to administer Justice inpnrti-
ally between the rich and the poor If called on
to act IN the premises, would set at liberty as
many fugitive slaves apprehended in our State,
under the hte act Of Congress, as could be
brought before me on habeas corpus. believe
the law TO be wholly nugatory and void, and
holding It to be a clear violation of the coustitu-
/ ton Of my country and opposed TO the genius Of
our free Institutions, could not strike down the
sacred guarantees OF personal freedom, or inaict
so much of a wound upon the sovereignty and
