Lat. and interesting advices, both oGicial
and private, have been received here from
Great Salt Lake City, which show that the
treason OF Brigham Young aud his dsluded
followers Is every day becoming more and
moro open in its manifestations, while the
record OF social crimes is swollen by many
facts OF the most startling character. With

Of pol'gsmy, and the disgusting bruta,i,ies
aud indecencies Sowing from that polluted
source, IL would seem that not the half has
been told. The thoroughly organized sys.

concerns of Mormondom, has rendered il
