Utah.

We have dates from Salt Lake, Utah
Territory, to the first Of March. The
news is unimportant, except as relates to
the unamiable temper which the report OF
the appointment of Colonel Steptoe to the
Governorship had produced in Brigham
Young Brigham rants and raves over
the prospect of his removal, and abuses
the United States officers that have been
sent to the Territory in the flthiest lang
uage. There is considerable cunning ex-
hibited in the following passage extractc d
from a speech made by Brigham to "the
Saints:
Ifthe gallant gentleman who is now in
our midst had received the commission
of Governor of this Territory, as was re-
ported, and had accepted it, would have
taken off my hat and honored the ap-
pointment; and this people would have
been just as passive and submissive to
him as ever they could be to me. This
[ will warrant and vouch for.
But for man to come here and in
fringe upon my individual ghts and priv
ilcges, and upon those of my brethren.
will never meet my sanction, and | will
scourge such an one until he lesses: I am
after him. But 1 will say, to the praise
of the gallant gentleman referred to, il
there was going to be a gentleman called
upon to be our Governor, there is not q
man under the Kingdom of God that |
would listen to sooner, and fell more con-
fdence and cordiaiity toward, than to him.
| wish this need of praise could be award
ed to every officer in the Government, but
it cannot. We have some Of the most
corrupt, damnabic, mean curses here that
ever disgraced the earth-gome who even
wish to carry the holy sanctuary in one
hand and a jug of wiskey in the other,
and follow a., and have saint trail
behind him to bold up their garments to
prevent their drabbling.
Notwithstanding the ambiguity in this
speech, one feature stands out clear and
palpablc. Brigham plainly intn atcs that
10 interference with Mormon customs will
be submitted to, whether it proceeds from
the United States government, or any 9TH
cr source. Time. however. will test this
resolution. Nothing is clearer to our
minds than that Mormon polygamy will
yet be suppressed: and the sooner the
saints" realize the immincGce Of this re-
suit, the better for them.

The San Francisco papers say that Ah

that arrived in California, in 1850, and
has always been engaged there in the
brothel business, recently sailed for chi

brought from there, year ago, eight wo-
men that she had purchased for forty dol

each. She has from time to time sold
