Judge Drum I'm ond en- Mormon Mat
Our readers will recolect that some
months ago charge to the Grand Jury pur-
porting TO have been delivered by Judge
Drummond, of Utah, went the rounds Of the
newspapers, bat its authenticity was doubted
on account OF reference to law Of Con-
gress Furnishing RIGHTEOUSNESS. Judge Drum
mond has recently written letter in which
he states that the reference was incorrectly
published. but that he did deliver the charge
and referred to law of the Territory. This
law he says has never been enforced except
in one instance, and that was in the case of
. white man who had married negro wo-
man. Judge Drummond's letter confirms
the general impression in regard to the abso-
lutte control exercised by Brigham Young over
everybody and everything in Utah. He says
that no court can be held, and no law be put
In force without the aid of an army, and that
il is useless to send Officers or Judges there,
unless they are accompanied by the army Of
the United States, for the Mormon despera-
does set them at utter defiance. The recent
outrage in Salt Lake which resulted in the
burning OF the records Of the Supreme
Court and the Law Library furnished by the
Government, was committed unde- the direc-
tion Young.
He says in conclusion that the mass who |
60 out there under appointments from MIR. |
buchanan must realize that they hold their /
liberty and lives at the will of Brigham Young
and that not only he, but all his followers
are sworn enemies of the Institutions and
Government of the United States.
We should like to see the power of the
Government of the United States extended
over Utah, by the present Administration, but
Slavery be above and beyond the restrain
ne power OF Congress and the Union, We do
lot see how the kindred Institution of Polyg-
my is to be constitutionally limited or con-
rolled in the Territories by the Government,
If the United States.
