The Nnos, in speaking of the Presidential nomi-

learned who the thousand and other parties
have nominated for the next President, neither has
any one had the kindness TO inform them to which
party they belong, SO they are not prepared to

The following letter is addressed to the editor by
Mr. d. 81. Wells, who adds to his name the initials
8. p W., but their Specification does not appear -
If, when the brethren are handling their thou
sands, and, in various ways advancing their indi-
vidual interests, they can rest unmindful Of the
public works, and not contribute some available
means whereby they can be prosecuted with vigor,
IkAow Of good reason why the authorities of the
shsrch should involve the nselves il debt to sustain
and carry them on. The works will most probably
be suspended until such times as the brethren can
feel and understand that men cannot live without
eating, emigration does fill the Streets nor labor
be performed without men, or the means to pay
others with. There are many men engaged with us
that would prefer to devote themselves to the
works the brethren will bring in leather cloth,
hats and shoes, to clcthe the men, and glass, nails
paints ola, lumber, timber, shingles, iron, steel,
tools fer workmen, meat, butter, cheese, groceries,
and vegetables fer them to eat and every other ar
aise necessary for the support of the men and the
prosecution Of the works, then no money will be
needed, and they can be sustained.
correspondent Of the Ne,os, from Ohio, thus en-.
dorses Governor Young and the Mormons in gene
rail-
"Whether Governor Young, or any other Mormon,
has sixteen, or sixteen hundred wives, / know not
and care less. ! suppose he has no more than he
makes toerable provision for; "a thing many Of his
haDderers do not do) Notwithstanding the shame
sally outrageous conduct Of the general government
IN refusing to pay him his salary, and dishonoring
bis paper, yet do know, that to all outward APP
pearances, at least, orderly and decent people
have never seen; and during the few days have
remained In your city, have had frequent cause to
blush at the contrast presented between the pious
Sso called1 people Of the States, and the wicked
The following we think very wise municipal
enactment, and worthy the attention of the city
authorities of New York :
Each animal running at large within the
limits Of the Corporation, is liable to be sold
ut auction for five dollars fine, costs and damage
which may be more than the animal is WORTH
and if the citizens will not take care of their
animals, and keep them where they belong, their
neghbors and the officers of the city must do it for
them for the gardens must be preserved; thousands
Of saints coming who will want vegetables.
Brethren, keep your stock out Of the streets, and
save cost"
BY the following announcement it would seem
that the editor of the Ne,cs smacks of the Yankee
he expresses himself willing to swap copies of mis-
paper for any article, useful or otherwise, where
there is q lack of money
CAN saints, on arrival in the valley, can procure
the Ne,rs, with or without the back numbers. If
yen have not the cash, you have other things which
win buy the Netcs, and do yourselves and the press
good; call at the Post Ofhce.''
We take the following extract from the grafton
delivered by Hon. Geo. A. Smith, at the celebration
n the fifth anniversary of the entrance Of the Msr
mons into the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. being
The oath of July. After abiding to the persecu-
tion which the Mormons had suffered before
their emigration to the territory, the speaker con-
tinued.-
have looked upon scenes that are calculated to
Etir up the stoutest heart without shedding tear;
but cannot look upon the procession of this day,
and consider the blessings that now surround THE
people, without shedding tears of gratitude that God
has so kindly delivered US out of all our distresses,
and given to US liberty To be sure, after work
ing our way into these valleys, making the roads
through mountains, seeking out the route, and CON-
ing here prosecutions did not cease enemies
were like the good old quaker, when he turned the
dog out OF doors; said he, Sc won't kill thee thou
hast got out Of my reach ] cannot kill thee but
dog and somebody supposing the dog to be mad,
shot him. So with after robbing US Of millions
Of property, and driving cruelty from the land Of
our birth after violating every solitary law of the
government, in which many Of the officers were
paxtakers expelliDg us into the wilderness, where
they thought we would actually perish and there
II not to be found in the history Of the world, a
parallel case Of suffering that this people endure
raised, 20 hnish, as they thought, the work of de-
struction and murder Without guide, without q
knowledge g the country, without reading even
the notes Of any traveller upon this earth, or
seeing the face Of being who ever set foot upon
this land, were led by the hand of God, through
his servant Brigham, threading the difficult passes
OF these mountains until we set our foot upon this
place, which was, at that time, desert, containing
nothing but a few bunches Of dead grass, and
crickets enough TO fence the land. We were more
than one thousand miles from where provisions
could be obtained, and not game enough to support
nm Indian population we set down here, and we
called upon God to bless our undertakings We
formed government here, and governmentbas been
in existence in this territory of Utah for five years
! now want to ask few grave questions upon THU
subject. IL is customary for the general govern
ment to extends fosterin hand and parental tc
all new territories When we first settled here, thi
was Mexican territory but it soon after aoquir
cd by treaty, and became United States territory
-Four years and half government has been sup
ported 1ere governmental laws and regulations have
been kept up. enquire, has the government Of tbs
United States ever expended enc dollar to support
that government No with the exception OF tn,
United States officers in the Territory little oveI

ings, and 81, 900 for library. Has the Legislative
Department ever received one dollar Z No. Ant
