uTAHS APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION INTO THE UNIoN.-The Deseret News-the organ ot Brigham Young, and of the other Mormon patrlarchs-contains a long history of the ex- perienccs and tribulatons of that sect in the far of territory, closing as follows:
 We have successfully met the hostile red men; we have with like fortitude and success nearly passed through the scarcity caused by the drought and devourer of the past season. and severity ot the winter of 1855 and '56; we are now patiently laboring upon scanty meals, to secure our crops from the parching rays of a burning sun, while the produce of many fields has already furnished sustenance and vigor to our enemies, the insects, and that of numerous other fields is entirely scorched up in spite of all our efforts.
 In view of these facts, aside from many others ot kindred nature, and also of a con- mercal, political and constitutional character, shall utah's present appeal to Congress be un- needed or neg glected? She is asking for admis- sion to the Union, after the form of the most approved and customary precedents; she is widely known to eminently possess the only two qualifications prescribed by the constitu- tlon for new States, viz: "A substantial civil community, and republican government;' she Is occupying a region which others would flee from; she is tamely submitting to the privation of many equal rights, amid all other hardships; and now when asking, what is hers of right, the privilege of extending the area of State govern ment, civilization and toleration over region of wild mountains and desert plains, is it pos sible that in enlightened an age the first voice or objection will be raised against her request?

BELLIES IN DIsTEEss-A correspondent of the Providence Journal, writing from Newport, R. l., on the 11th inst, says:
 The last hop was a tame affair, for want cf beaux. Of these the supply is shockingy small, snd fortunate is the lady who has one at command. Certainly, there is everything to tempt them to enter the saloons for on all sides We see beautiful girls, on whom has been lavish ed all that affection and wealth can command, n many are blazing with diamonds and other jewels. But who would dare crave the right to maintain one of these treasures in the same style with anything short of mint Such thoughts are not to be cherished for moment by man of moderate means and so the bellies iangulsh and sigh for attention, while the gal lants drown their discontent in the fumes of a cigar and the crack of a pistol

A RICH POLITICAL JoKE.-We have private authentic advice of an amusing but indicative mistake, of which Fremont was the victim. In New York city, the free soil candidate went on board the steamship " Orizaba" to say "adios'' to some California bound friends. A gentle. man who was with Fremont said to Padre Vii Jill, the Nlcaraguan minister,who was on board, "Allow me to introduce your excellency to the next President of the United States," (makiDg a motion towards Fremont, but not calling him by name) The Padre stepped forward, raised his hat bowed, and said, '" am very happy to see you, Mir. BUcHANAN!"-Bost Pilot.

his friends, but the esteem and respect and con- fldence ot hls opponents. regard Mr. Bucha- nan as the man of all others for the times. anu l hall his nomination as the first step taken ,o wards return to the old, but not less wise policy of placing the conduct of the .overn- ment in the hands of statesmen. Possessing strong and we'll balanced mind, comprehensive and yet conservative in his views intimately acquainted with the necessities of the country and familiar with all questions of domestic and foreign concernment; firm but conciliatorv in his character, and entering upon the high trust With the avowed purpose of surrendering it at the expiration of single term, thus having no other ambition than to promote, the welfare of the republic and secure to himself an honora. ble niche in the temple of national history, am deeply impressed with the conviction that the election of Mr. Buchanan would be in all respects most suspicious event. His whole life Is a guaranty that under an administration directed by him. we should have repose The announcement of his success, in my judgment. would dispel the clouds that hover over our re- latlons with foreign countries, and restore that sense of security which is so essential to con- mercial people, while at the same time it would with equal certainty calm down the angry waves of internal strife which now threaten to devastate the land. I may be disappointed in these anticipations, but in Mr. Buchanan there Is assuredly hope of safety. Elsewhere I see only continued agitations, violence and final shipwreck.

IIVIII IIIe bOstnn Eos Hon. Rufus Choate's Letter.

We print to-day noble and brilliant letter from the pen of Hon. Rufus Choate. In it he presents hls reasons for voting for Buchanan We hardly need commend letter from such a source and of such import to our readers. It will speak for itself in its scathng rebuke of the geographical party, and iu its kindling appeal for conciliation and union. It is worthy of it's distinguished author and of the present crisis and cannot tall to exert a powerful influence so clearly and forciby does it delineate the paramount duty of the patriot in the present conjunction of political affairs. Read it. one and all, and resolve to follow its patriotic coun- sels.
 Thus another veritable Daniel Webster whig has sunk minor things of prejudice. of opinion aL1 oi personalityin behalf of that political ac ton which Is calculated to preserve the insti- mt'ors and to promote the welfare of our com mon country. The list of such men is already large. May t be iarser So let the good work % on Let the patriotism and intelligence. and the common sense of the land rally to the rescue. Let all who would follow the Union counseis of Jefferson and Hamilton; of Madi- son and Jay; of Jackson and Webster; of the man who stands first among the foremost of patriots, of a WASHINGTON, welcome every noble word for harmony. In this way quench the fires of fanaticiSmi In this way light up The fires of patriotism Resolve that the geo. graphical party shall die such death as to be a lesson and warning for all time to reckless poAticanS, who, to promote personal erds, hes- tate not to make holocaust of evervthiug dear t0 common country.
