Slavery In Utah.

The fact stated in the following
extract from letter of Limestone y
said to be Hon r. II. Stanton
the Washington &C correspondent Of
the Maysville Express, is certainly
new TO US, as we suppose it will be
TO a greater portion Of our readers:
1T is not generally known that
tho Territorial Legislature of Utah,
has passed law authorizing slavery
in all respects as it exists in Ken
lucky or any other slave State. /
have the statute, and emigrants are
allowed to bring their slaves to the
territory and hold them aud their
children by the same title by which
they were held in the States from
whence they came. The only re-
straint upon their sale and transfer
after they come to the territory is
the consent of the slave. The de- |
yelopment Of this fact, has occa-
stoned no little excitement among
the abolitionists, and | shall not be
surprised if an effort is made to Sc
cure the disappproval Of tae law by
Congress. Mormon laws and prac-
tees are likely yet to provoke much
animadversion throughout the coun-
try"

Mr.. Editor: The Democracy of this
County. in pursuance Of the appoint.
ment of the Central Committee made
ome time since assembled yesterday in
convention. for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for county offices, to be
filed a, The coming election. Owing to
a misunderstanding on the part of the
several Townships, but three or four
Township Conventions had been held.
consequently regular appointed dele.
gates could no, be had but from about
one fourth of The County.
By motion. persoas from the several
unrepresented Townships. who happen
ed TO be present, were admitted TO cast
the votes for their, several townships, as
delegates.
Alter several ballotings. L. A. Good.
fellow was nominated for representative.
The unsuccessful candidates were. II. E..
Robinson and A. j. Richie. The next
balloi'ng was for Clerk, resulting in 20
votes for Jacob Webb and 81 for John
Phillips. The 3omination was however
in reality with Mr.. Phillips, as there
were three votes cas-, for Mr.. Webb to
which the township casting them. Bluff
Creek. was no, entitled and which leaves
Mr.. Philips the regular nominee and as
such will take the field. 10 this nomi-
nation we feel confident the whole dem
ocratic party will most cordially respoud.
Considered as merely a citizen, John
Philips is unexcepnonable, and when we
come TO pass upon his qualifications for
this office scarcely ar exception can be
taken. Everything considered Mr..
Philips is beyond question better fued
for the Office than any other man in this
county. To the present incumbent, tbs
thanks of the public are due. having uni
formally performed the duties of his Of
flee with fair ability and a, the same time
maintaining that reputation for accomo-
dasion which he always had. How the
delegate from Bluff Creek township ever
came 10 cast six votes, when the town
ship was only entitled to three, we do
not say. L. b. Perry, was nominated
Tor prosecuting Atty, there being no other
candidate.
