MORMON TITLES IN T

1t appears that among other methods of regu
lating their domestic institutions according to IT,
s,cred democratic rights defined and secured t
them by the Nebraska bill, the Mormons hav,
sequgstered the public lands Of the United States
ignorSd tho surveys, and bought and sold the soil
precisely as if they held the same by original RICH
Of proplietorship. 1t is a singular fact, to which
attention is now first called, that though Utal
has been organized for nine years, and has an esti'
mated population of from $4,000 to $4,000, moi
an acre of land has been bought from Govern
mept. NE;le in Minnesota, organized at the same
time, millions of dollars have been paid into the
Treasury by the settlers for the lands which com
prise their farms and bomestsads. The first pro-
ceeding Of the new Territorial Government viii
be TO make the occupants Of public lands pay fol
them at established prices, or offer them for sale
to other narties.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

We find in the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL of yes.
to-day a report Of a meeting held in Cedarville
Ohio, June 27th, the object of the meeting being
"to give an expression of feeling and opinion in
relation TO the trial Of Sheriff Lewis, and occur.
rences connected Herewith" The following reso.
lutiops were reported by a committee appointed
for the purpose and adopted:
Whereas, The bill of rights securing TO the
citizens of Ohio life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness, seems, in our judgement, to have been
disregarled by the Marshall acting in behalf of the
Federal Courts, and whereas, our highly esteemed
and very worthy citizen, Gen. D. Lewis, Sheriff
of this county, has been arrested under the charge
of illegally intercepting due process Of law, when.
in fact, be was only discharging his official duty
with fidelity; therefore
ResolVed, That we, the citizens Of Cedarville,
and vicinity, Greene county, Ohio, not only ap.
prove, bnt most heartily commend the official con.
duct Of Gen. b. Lewis, in bis prompt and manly
arrest of the Marshalls Of the Federal court, for
their wanton violation of tho constitution and laws
Of this Commonwealth.
Resolved, That in the attempt, now seemingly
being made to compel the citizens Of the sovereign
State Of Ohio to aid and assist SHAREHOLDERS to keep
their fellow men in bondage, we have no sympa-
thy, but utterly repudiate any such tyrannieal aud
oppressive compulsion.
Resolved, That we are ready, and hereby ex.
press our determination, to stand by and assist our
patriotic and faithful officer in any responsibility,
pecuniary or otherwise, he may have incurred in
the above stated premises.
Rssolved, That we deeply deprecate any intru-
sion upon the right of habsos eorpas, and will to
the last, in any lawful way necessary, defend and
maintain its due and legitimate exercise. as secu-
red to US by the Constitution of the Urited States
as well as that of our own State.
ResolUed, That the proceedings and resolutions
of this meeting be published in the county papers
and Cincinnati Commercial.
