Trouble in Utah.

of din interview with W. w, Drummond, Chief
Justice Of Utah, on the Sd inst, and then says
Although we were Disguised with this set of

and criminal law in the territory, has been such
as to give him IL better and probably more init

Mormon system that is possessed now by any

inhabitants to the girdle of Brigham Young,
and what the use made Of their power by that

The madern Nahomet seems to be a settled and
abiding hatred of all " Gtntiles,' as they are
pleased to sly lie all who do not subscribe to their
dogmas and conform to their unique and revolving
creed.

Mormons is almost unknown. Whatever the

Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1857-04-23
From the Burlington Sentinel.

The Montpelier Feeeman, in view of the
recent decision of the bred Scott Case, calls
for new Constitution of the United States
and says, " it is time for war, strife, anarchy
and dissolution"
The Montpelier Freeman is the pioneer Of
aboltionism in this State The time was
when its influence was felt only by the "se-
lect few" endowed by nature with vast SYM
pathetic feeling and wonderful credulity. 1t
was made the butt of ridicule alike by the
Wing and Democratic press; it has gradual
ly found friends; its principles have been
more widely dissent mated, and as insidious
poison creeps through the system, they have
permeated large portion of the body poll
tic; it has collected the fragments of the old
Wing party, and moulded them into their
present dishonorable position, 1t has so far
conquered their conservatism and admiration
for their great party leaders that utilization
with dsunionists seems blessing, and the
memory of Clay, and Webster, shame. 1t
has obnubilated their minds to such degree
that ''war, strife, anarchy and dissolution p"
seem preferable to peace, fraternal love, the
liberty of the Repcblic, and the best interests
of the slave. The monomania has ragged to
such an extent that even the voice of the Re-
publican press has been considered the " dele
gated voice of Cod" and supplemented d.
vines have imagined in their possession, Il
commission from Heaven to make the pulpit
the organ of sedition.
We ask the question, and we wish to know
lis the Republican press, in this State, pre-
pared to take this last step of the Fireman
and openly, unblushingy advocate "war and
dissolution
The freeman is down on the Supreme
Court of the United States 1t seems to
think constitutional law can be warped and
biased to suit the whims and ambitious de-
signs of demagogues. The abolition party
must certainly feel that their last prop is re-
moved, and that principles rotten as putrefac
ton originally, are now in the last stages |"
OF quick consumption--a party claiming all
the religion, all the temperance and all the
true devotion to Jefersonian principles Ought
not to talk about strife and anarchy" and
armed resistance to the laws of of the land.
What the Supreme Court has decided to be
right, neither Vermont, the Immortal three
thousand, or the ararlike editor of the Free
man can alter. Its decisions are immutable,
and the hot-brained supporters of sedition
should know by this time thas there is par
ty in the Republic, who think it best to sup
port law, and to say of America, Eao Per-

Benton on Emancipation.

The "Old Man eloquent" has now plainly
defined his position in the political world
and we trust there will be no further talk about
him. Below is his letter upon emancipation:
WASHINGTON, February 23, 1857.
| saw with amazement the abolition move
ment in our Assembly, and wrote Immediately
to Price, Lusk and others in Jefferson City,
to condemn and repudiate it. They ought to
have cut themselves loose from me before they
began new slavery agitation in the state,
contrary to my established policy. They
ought to have made known their intentions
before the election, that / might not have
been deceived by them.
Many friends told me that these persons
would turn out for abolition in the state as
soon as the election was over, but could not
believe in such thing. To add state
slavery agitation to the national agitation, at
the very moment when we were opposing ma
tional agitation was an incredible thing.
For persons calling themselves my friends
to attack the whole policy of my life, which
was to keep slavery agitation out of the state,
and get my support in the canvass by keeping
me Ignorant Of what they intended to do, is
the greatest outrage | have ever experienced.
Those who have done it have never commune
Gated one word to me in justification or ex-
PLANTATION Of their conduct, for it is something
they can neither explain nor justify. They
know that it was | who introduced the clause
against Legislative emancipation into the con-
stitution, in order to keep the slavery agitation
out of the state and that my whole life has
been opposed to the agitation of the subject.
THOMAS H. BENTON.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1857-04-23

The Federal Congress would not in the
slightest degree transcend its legitimate pre-.
rogative nor infringe upon the sovereignty of
any Southern State, by making this generous
offer of compensation whenever it might DO
disposedto enamel pate its slaves. Such an
offer would not impair its right to retain Or
abolish slavery at its own will Should it
prefer, on due consideration, to put an end to
the system, it would preform in and by itself
every act Of legislation necessary to effect
that object. 1t would distribute the money
received from the national treasury among its
Shareholders in its own way and by its own
officers.
Suppose that $3.50 per slave should be the
average compensation allowed to every South
ern State for their emancipation, it would re-
quire the income from the public lands for
nearly three years to pay Maryland for man.
uniting all her slaves. In case she should
follow the example of Missouri at an inter-
val only year, about $15,0O000O over and
above the revenue from the national domain,
in that space, would have to be raised for
her. If the current Expenditures of the gov
eminent were properly economical, a sum
equal to this balance, might be saved from
the other sources of revenue If the annual
expenses of the government were limited to
$60,0O0,O 900, a surplus averaging $50, O0O,-
600 year might be realized, up to the end
of the century, from customs and duties alone.
This surplus might be loaned TO the Emanci-
patton Fund from Public Lands, should it b.
needed in any year, to pay off such state
as Virginia. Thus it might be seldom, if ev-
er, necessary for the naaion to borrow money
for carrying on this great work of gradually
extinguishing slavery. Even in case of such
necessity it would greatly elevate political
morality and promote national economy and
virtue, even to be in debt, or under the ne
cessity Of saying money, for some grand re-
productive enterprise.
The free State can afford to be not only
just but generous to the South, their CONNER.
cial, religious and political partnership with
it in sustaining slavery having been intimate
and extensive. They have had the handling
eff all the great staples Or the South. Cot
ton rice and tobacco haze constituted their
currency in trading with Europe. In this
they have mostly paid for their importations
of foreign goods which they have again sold
g to the South; thus making large profits from
their various transactions in save-labor pro-
duce. They have doubtless realized more
than half the wealth that sinews bought and
sold have ever earned in America. They
would, with the same certainly, share equal
ly with the South in all the increased wealth
and prosperity which emancipation would
bring to that section of the Union.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1857-04-23
From the Chicago Tribune, April Ill

We are told by Democrat of unquestion-
ed faithfulness to his party, himself a Cor.
ernor, that in late conversation with Gov.
Geary, he learned that that gentleman is pre-
pairing from his diary, faithfully kept during
his administration, summary of events in
Kansas, as they came under his own personal
or official observation. We are told by the
same authority that in that book. when it is
given to the country, the allegations of the
Republican journals in relation to the fiendish
atrocities practiced upon the Free-State men
by their border rufian invaders will be not
only confirmed but fully proved.
1t mill be stated, that during q trip on q -
much frequented road, soon after his arriral
in the territory, the Governor saw the bodies
of twenty sir murdered Free.State men,
Some of these had been shot or Drained, and
thrown by the roadside to rot under burning
sun. Others had been scalped as Indians
scalp their victims. One was pinioned 10
tree by bowie-knife driven through his heart
into the solid wood at his back; on his breast
was fastened written warning to all other
"abolitionists." Some were buried just be.
meath the prairie sod, their hands and arms
left sticking out of the shallow holes into
which they had been thrown. Upon Others
the nameless mutilatons of private parts
which characterize the ferocious joy of the
Indian in the moment of victory had been
committed. In all classes, brutality seemed
to have exhausted itself in insulting what
among all civilized men, whether friend or
foe, are looked upon with respect-the bodies
of the dead.
Had these things appeared in letters de-
failing events in Kansas between May and
November last, the journal publishing them
would have been suspected of exaggeration,
