purchase provisions for the tIoops, hid given him
the strongest assurances of the acpful Intentions
of the government, and that tn troops would o.
ly be employed posse eomitatus when call. d
by the cTvii authority to aid in the execution of
thu laws
There is reason to believe that Gov Young
has long contemplated this result. He knows
that the continuance of his despOtic power de-
ponds upon the exclusion of all settlers from the
Territory except those who viii acknowledge
his divine mission and implicitly obey his will
and that an enlightened public opinion there,
would soon PROSTATE institutions at var with the
the laws both Of God and man. He has, there
fore, for several years, in order to maintain his
independence been iudustriously employed in
collecting and fabricating arms and munitions
of war and in disciplining the MormOns for mill
tary service. As Superintendent Of Indian AT
fairs he has had an opportunity of tampering
with the Indian tribes, and exciting their hos
tile feelings against the United States This,
according 10 our information, he has accOmp-
lished in regard to some of these tribes. while
others have remained true TO their allegiance,
and have communicated his intrigues TO our In
dian Agents
He has laid in store Of provisions for three
years, which in case of necessity, as he informed
Major Van Nliet, he will conceal ''aud then take
to the mountains, and bid defiance to all the
powers of the government"
y great part of this may he idle boasting: but
yet no wise government Will lightly estimate
the efforts which NAV be inspired bv such phren-
Zjed fanaticism as exists among the MOrmons Of
Utah This is the first rebellion which has eX-
listed in our Territories and humanity itself Te
Quires that we should put il down in such a man
that it shall be the last. To trihe with it
would be 10 encourage il and render it fOrmid-
able. We ought to 90 there with such an impos-
ing force as to convince these deluded people
that resistance would be vain. and thus spare
blood. We can. in this manner, convince them
that we are their friends, not their enemies.
Ia order TO acc prnpish this oiiect it vii
be necessary according to the estimate Of the
War Department, to raise four additional re-
gimeEts; and this l earnestly recommend to
Congress. At the present moment of depr-s-
sion IN the revenues of the county | am sor-
~ to be Obliged to recommend such a measure
but | feel confident of the support OF Congress
cost what it may, in suPpressing he ins urrec-
tona nd in restoring and msintanng the 50
vereignty Of the constitution aud laws over
the Territory of Utah.
l recommend TO Congress the establishment of a
territorial Government over ArE0nia iucorporariag
with it such portions OF New NJ exico as they may
deem eXpeiieu'. / need scarcely adiuCe Hrru-
ments in support OF this recommendation. We are
bound 10 protect the lives ard property of our Cit
zaus inhabidog Arizona, and th.se are now with
out Efficient protection. Their TT sent number is
already considerlhe, and IA rapiiy increasing
norwith taudng the cistdvantages und which
they labor Besides, tba propos d T, rrtory is be-
iPvei he rich min raj and a. ricutura r, sour
