and d;snossess Brigham Young of his official

The Dispatch is not In the habit of taking sides
In politics, but trusts that it does not depart from
this rule in expressing the modest opinion that
Capt. Lipscomb was born for this very position
If Mr. Buchanan wants . man who will fight. and
who has jast as much capacity as some OF those
who have been named fer the Office, he will do
well to send out our Richmond champion We
will pi. him against Brigham Young any day IN
the year, and bet hundred to one on Martin
Whilst BY no means ill-tempered or quarrelsome
upon the first decent occasion that presents
itself, he will whip Brighams jacket of bis hide
and take captive his whole establishment. Ii the
administration knows what it is about 1t will drop
anv old political hack, who may have been named
in connection with this place, like hot potato
and take an en.erprising young American; a work
ing man, fresh from the people, and full OF fire
backbone and vim one who would go forth among
the Mormons like Joshua among the Canaanites
and who would rise and slay" from morning till
midnight, until the sword had devoured all the ms
habitants of the land
We therefore hope that Lpscomb will get the
place, convert the Mormons, break up Brigham
Youna's harem, and bring home bis scalp 1t
would be worth "ten years of peaceful life" to
see the encounter between Martin and Mahomet
The collision of the comet with the earth would be
nothing to ii.
