brigham Young Excited.

At latest accounts Brigham Young was aw-
and told in very pathetic terms how, according
to his instructions, the principal Mormons
opened their houses to the United troops who
were quartering among them last winter-and
how these troops made love by wholesale to
the Mormon wonderland how deplorably
successful they were. Brigham Young says:
Past experience has taught the brethren that in
future it viii probably be the best policy to let SOL
diery quarter among themselves, and am perfectly
willing.
Ifpersons come here and behave IKE gentlemen,
they shall enjoy their rights, and will enjoy ours
or fight to the death. As to again suffering the
wickedness and misrule of foul spirits that come
into our midst, and are treated by gentlemen,
/ will not.
do not know what shall say next winter II such
men make their appearance here as we're some last
winter. know what think / shall say if they
play the same game again. Let the tconea be eUer
50 bad, SO help me God, we will STAY them.
What especially maddened Brigham, was
the fact that quite number of the Mormon
girls concluded to follow the bold soldier boys
on their march to California, prefelring the
land of gold and the soldiers company, to the
harems of the Salt Lake Palestine. Brigham
says:
! The men who coaxed them 1.-THE girls) away did
not intend to take them to California If anS offer
to do the same thing again in these mountains,
Judgment shall be laid to the line and righteous
ness to the plummet; I" and they shall say that
Brigham does not lie.
In the course of speech on the 18th July,
Brigham throws down the gauntlet to the Gen.
tiles in the following style:
| We want none of their money, and if they are
not disposed TO send it here, care nothing about
their moneys coming; and this proves to me, and
should to you, that do not care about mans get
ting one dime appropriated to this Territory. But
we will send delegate who win do no hurt; and il
it were not that the hue and cry of treason against
the general government" would be made, we would
not send delegate at all or were it not that they
would say, "Now you have proof sufficient that the
| Mormons mean to secede from the Union, as they
have sent no delegate" and thus hatch up pretex
for commencing fresh hostilties against US.
| Though may not be Governor here, my power
viii not be diminished. No man they can send here
| will have much influence with this community, IN
tess he is the man of their choice Let them send
whom they will, and it does not diminish my infu
ence one particle. As said the first time ! spoke
on this stand, my Goyernorship,' and every other
ship under my control, aided, and derive direct
advantages from my position in the priesthood.

We see no more reason for suspecting a man of
being a foreigner because his name is Medary "
than because 1t is McGinty. ~ Union aud Aneri-
can.
We do, though. In the first place, the for
mer individual was appointed by the Pierce
administration to foreign mission. That OF
itself is sufficient to generate a suspicion that
be is foreigner. Secondly, he failed to com
ply with the law requiring Office holders to
give in their place of birth to the authorities
vf Washington. That is an additional fact
tending to generate a suspicion that he is a
foreigner. Third, he drew $4,000 outfit, re
fused TO perform the service, and the public
records, as far as we have been able to learn,
ford no evidence that be ever refunded it,.
al these things are reasons for suspecting him
Of being foreigner, though the Union denies

Col LEADBETTER-Dedr Sir: Your note of the
18th is now before me; you say that at the request
of some of my friends, to which you oh eerfully
comply YOU wish to ask my opinions of the present
self.styled American or Know Nothing organization
for publication. You know, sir, am not and never
was politician. My mission through life has been
to proclaim the unsearchabe riches of Jesus Christ.
I am not now and never have been unmindial of
the blessings and privileges which as an humble
Baptist minister enjoy. My great fears that these
blessings and privileges will in great measure be
denied to children, prompts me for this one
time to overcome the repugnance have for poti-
cal notoriety Again, l know that my days on earth
are but few; and you have thought proper to ask
this favor of me- cannot well refuse to comply with
your request. For many years have had fears that
this glorious Union of ours would soon come 10 an
end. In contemplating upon this unpleasant sub
iect my eyes have turned to each of the oil parties
but in them have been enabled to find nothing
calculated to revive the Responding hopes OF all old
way patriot pilgrim The perpetual star in
each was overshadowed with Northern fanaticsm
and old Southern disunionism; but turn from this
give it 10 you as my dying opinion that the great
conservative, constitutional principles now offered
to the American people for their support by the
American party are the ones that etfectually
suppress AbolitiOnism on the one hand, or dis
union on the other, and they are the only ones that
can or ever will bring back this government to its
original purity and perpetuate ii forever Oh that
our Heavenly Father may reign and rule IN the
hearts of the people, that our glorious Union may
descend as u legacy, pure and untarnished, to our
children.

entertain for my complete recovery; they vain.
