themselves to the superior race.
The whole issue involved in the war now
being waged against the decision Of the
Supreme Court is in favor of negro equal

After giving full explanation of the
facs in the Dred Scott case, he came to
the last topic upon which he was called upon
to speak, to wit the affairs of Utah:
"The act of 1850, creating the territory
of Utah, was passed on the supposi ion that
the people then residing there were citizens
of the United States, acknowledging their
allegiance and claiming the protection of
the government. Seven years experience
has demons rated state of facts entirely

If the reports that reach us from that
territory are true, and he had no reason to
doubt them, one important fact stands
prominently forth, and that is that at least
nine -tenths of the present inhabitants of
Utah are aliens By birth, who have stead

the oath of allegiance. The newspapers
are filled with accounts Of the fearful and
terrible oaths to resist and subvert the
government of the United States, to which
these wicked and deluded people are COM

that the Mormon Governor has been and
is now engaged 10 forming alliances with
hostile Indian tribes, engaging them to
join in open warfare against the govern.

our citizens. Assuming that these reports
are true, it proves that the governor him
self is an alien to the government of the
United States, and acting in open defiance
10 our laws.
