GENTLEMEN | read, the other day,
remark of yours that you supposed the late news oy
the way of Oregon, that the Mormons had declared
themselves absolved from and Independent OF the
United States originated perhaps In the departure OF
the United States civil authorities from SAIL Lake
In this suppostion you are in error. let Califor.
MIA on the 10th of December last, and we knew OF
the rupture of the civil authorities with the Nor
mons at least eight weeks before that The trip be-
tween Salt Lake and Sacramento Is often made IN
less than two weeks. There is monthly mail be-
tween Portland, Oregon. and Salt Lake also be-

all been looking for news OF open defiance on the
part of the Mormons to the authority OF the United
States. The great body of these people are English
Chartists and the rest are made up OF fanatics and
enthusiasts of our own country and o:her parts OF
the world. have no hesitation in saying that the
statement brought by the las. mai viii be confirmed,
and that the Government Will have to take some
very decided means TO subdue and restrain these
people, or they will do immense damage to LIE and
property. Besides their control over large number
Of wsrke tribes OF Indians, their numbers VIII be
greatly augmented by emigration during the ensuing
year.
To show that the Mormens are not idle, and that
they are already encroachng upon their neighbors,
ask that you will publish the following letter which
find in The Sacramento Times.
Very respectfully, ACALifoRNIAN.
