FROM SALT LAKE CITY.

Tho following extract from the Desert Nems,
the organ of BRIGHAM YouNG shows the contcmpt
with which the mormons disposed to treat
pubhc opinion i'll the Suites against them:
"Weare fully aware that President Buchanan
ana his Cabinet cannot be presumed to know the
QUALIFICATIONS OF al who are bounding them for
oihcc AMI clutch at the spos and arc thereby
liable TO have their best intentions fr.,stratcd..
But they do know that Utah unanimously and

Excellcncy Brigham Young be continued to be

and proven to bc most worthy. And what Amcri-
can citizen, haTing due respect for the consi-
tutional rights and welfare of the people, will so
much as nsk for the appointment in Governor

intelligent person, unnaddcncd by party FRENZY,
unconamnated by love Of office and spoils and
possessed of only tolcraLc respect for The r:yhts

officers III Territories. save those indicated by tho
choice Of the people dwelling therein. Any roy-
ernncntal appointments for Territories more than
for States, is 1T best but relic Of barbaro,s colo
NAL usage"
Again the same paper remarks-"Do they
fancy that we, American born and ruisc. are moi
familiar with what is our due! DO they even
wildly Imagine that we do not most ,horouphly

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

Ih" elections recently held in Iowa. Kentucky,
TENNESSEE, r,xus Alabama aud North Carolina.
have resulted in favor of the Democrats. RoI.
tiNS, Know. Notln, candidate for Governor of
Missouri, is probably elected. This result hns
been brought about by n union of the BENroN
Democrats nnd tho Know. Nothing pur!y.---
STEWART, the Dcnocr,ic candidate, was viulcnt
enemy OF BENTON, and hence the BENTON wing
OF the Democracy refused to support him. The
emancipation party OF st. Louis, supported Itor-
L'Ss. From this fhc,, it is argued by some of our
Northern exchanges, that the triumph Of ROLLINS
is II triumph, Of frcesnsln in Missouri. Rollins
success mny be attributed, in a great measure,
to the blundcr Of the Democratic party, nonina-
ting STEWART, who may be a true Southern
Democrat, yet lie was born in the North. and
ducs not own single slave; and what is more,
he was notb by far, the equal Of ROLLINS in ability.
The fact Of his being nonslavcholdcr and Il
Northern man by birth, were adroitly handled
aguinst him, by his adversary, during the canvas.
ROLLINS, although he received the lrccsoiI vote,
is " Southern man by birth, and the owner of a
large slave property in Missouri

BANKS.

The Charleston Erening Ne~s, in m article
upon the Banks Of this State, has the follow.
ing:
"Now, as to the increase of charge on the
banks let lis make approximate estimate
The sum in specie in oil the Charleston Banks,
according to the ComptrolIer's last return, was
s9l3, G2l their circulation was sI,7I2,45I-
IL. This is n little less than one dollar in spe.
Gle to five dollaIs in paper and although no,
much below healty proportion, the aggregate
of both specie and paper has been too much re-.
dnced, III the view that the circulating notes of
the city in period of active business is about
$G.000,000. The circulation of the country
banks amounted on the lst of July to 3,GOs, ,235.
rs and their specie to si6G, ,G9GoG, about one
dollar in eight: The aggregate capitals of the
city banks and country banks respectively are
100000 and S;3,70O,0 900. AS regards their
aggregate capital then, the proportions are not
quite So per cent OF issues TO capital for the city
banks, while the issues of the country banks fall
short Of their aggregate capital by only s9I ,764-
25. If we add to the above the deposits rcspec-
lively, for they in reality constitute SO much nd.
diiion to bank capital, the disproportion of notes
to specie of the city aud country banks will be
largely increased, for country banks have scarce
ly any deposits"

BAIL REFUSED

The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Ereni"g Ne,cs says that Justice DAVIDSON
gave his decision recently rcfuing to admit Mrs
CUNNINGHAM to bail; but she still remains ut
the slaughter house" i'll Bond street. Her
house Is continually surrounded by large mum :
Der Of PERSONS principally womeu who arc loud
IN their denunciations against her. If her fatc
lay in the hands Of her own sex she would be
hung drawn and quartcrcd without delay The
sympathy expressed for her unfortunate daucht-
crs and younger children is OH the increase, and
it has been suggested that contribution should
be raised ior them. Mrs. c. has exhausted all
her means in her defence, and as it is not at all
likely that The Surrogate will decide in her favor,
the children will be totally unprovided for du-
ring her incarceration
