In the course of his letter, Judge
Drummoud says:
Really the only law that can be
enforced in Utah Territory is the law
of the Church, and that law is given
to the people by Brigham, from time
to time, as the Saints become wise
and capable of enduring more light
The laws of Congress and the Federal
authority are wholly disregardcd by
the Mormons, and the Federal officers
are treated as spies of the Federal
government and enemies of the Nor.
mons. Hence, sir, you can readily
see that it is utterly impossible tc
to bring the law to bear on these men,
when all the jurors, witnesses, &c,
are Mormons, and wholly subject to
tho will of Brigham Young, whose
will and power are supreme in this
territory. What the government
will do with these tratiorous dcs-
peradoes | cannot divine ; but certain
it is, unless different course is pur-
sued it is useless to send officers there
who can do no good. No Court can
be held, and no Mormon brought to
Justice without the aid of a strong
army. This, | am sorry to say, is
true but practical experience has
tanght me this solcme truth, which |

A WORD FOR YOUNG MEN.

Life is the stage upon which man
plays his several parts in the worlds
great drama and in starting thereon
nothing can be more essential than the
formation of correct moral habits
With these men may reach the highest
goal of human ambition-without
them he is made victim to the evil
promptings of a naturally depraved
heart
1t is an easy matter to take the
downward course. Natural, as we'll
as artificial means, abound to give a
timely help. Besides the natural inn
pulses Of an evil heart, art, by her
skillful allurements, serves to ensnare
a multitude of the unwary. Intem-
perance is a most successful snare to
cntice youth into the downward course,
and never was there time when the
recital of drunkenness and debauch-
cry has been oftener heard than the
present. Scores of the young are
gradually led Oh to brutal excess by
the pleasant effects of it's moderate
use, little dreaming that the chains of
q cruel tyrant are entwining them
selves with their very being, and that
they are becoming in reality the slaves
of momentary inclination. But it is
not our object to give lengthy dis
scrtation on the evils of intemperance
still it is Il subject which should be Of
vital iterest to all, for human life can
not present more sorrowful picture
than an immortal being who has vol
unfairly destroyed that portion of his
nature which alone distinguished him
from the brute.
Youth is the time when firm princi-
Piles of morality should be established.
Soon it viii! be too late in life to make
resolutions, and moral principle is as
necessary for man as the helm is to
guide the ship amid raging winds over
foaming pillows.
| Now, while the warm current of life
courses with electric speed from the
full hearts to the willing hands Of
youth, now is the time to SOW either
seeds of vice or virtue, and whatever
course is resolved upon, whether down
wards to the depths of Stygian dark
ness, or upwards to the society of an
gels of infinite intelligence, an impe-
tus will be given that decides our in
dividual destiny, for habits establish
ed in youth maintain their rule through
life.
Mans energies are subject to his
habits. If he is habitually inclined in
any direction, in that direction you
will find his best efforts concentrated.
If While in youth principles Of true
moral excellence are SO firmly cstab-
Ilished as to enable him to shun tho
cesspools of vice and immortality which
ever present their alluring forms to
battle with conscience and good res
olutions, if such principles are thus
firmly installed, then his mental and
physical powers will be taskcd to ele.
waiting the human mind above the de-
grading tendencies Of popular vice
rather than add one more to the length
ened list Of those who live, die, anc
dying are forgotten.

everything. The future of St. Louis
belongs to her workmen-to her
mechanics--to her merchants-to
her manufacturers-to her artlzans,
in short to her true democracy, for there
is no other democracy than that OF
labor. They have in their hands the
hereafter to mould it as they will. Let
them be wary in action.
1t remains to be seen what use the
great party which has just achieved
a victory so unlocked for by the
country-so confidently expected by
th.mselves-will make of their tri-
umph. Will they encounter the fatal
delays of Canne? Will they give up
the ground they have won, and return
to their tents with no longing for con-
quest? We trust not. We trust that
what they have now done for them
selves, they may hereafter be induced
to do for others. We trust that, as
they have gained a battle in their
own persons, they will not hesitate,
hereafter, to aid in lending their
strength to gain a battle for their
friends in the State likewise. Push
on the phalanx Of victory. Nutl9
retorsum restigIc.'
Let men everywhere know, here
after, that st. Louis has made proc
lamation inviting the people Of the
world to come and settle in her midst,
assuring them of protection in person,
property and opinion. She is hence
