We have received our correspon-
dence and files ofpapers from Great
Salt Lake City, to Dec, 81. The
Mormons had determined, by an act
approved on the 17th December, to
take immediate measures to secure the
admission of Utah into the Union as o
State. A general election was order,
ed to take place on the 10th Februa-
ry, for the choice of Delegates to q
Constitutional Convention, which was
to assemble at Great Salt Lake City,
on the 18th March. This Conyen-
ton was to be authorized to form and
adopt a Constitution to define boun-
daries designate the name of the
new State, and memorable Congress
in relation thereto.

Congressional enactments, the rela

look into the domestic relations of mar
and wife, and allow no Polygamist'
to come into this Union. The Flu
sionists have got to back square out
of their ridiculous position on this
subject, and will yet endorse to it;
fullest extent the DOUGLAS doctrine
of Squatter Sovereignty.
