President, and he bad no doubt that it was his
fixed purpose, to remove Brigham Young and
all his followers from Office, and to ill their
places with bold, able and true men, and TO
cause thorough and searching investigation in
to all the Grimes and enormltieS which are al
legged TO be perprtrated daily in that Territory,
under the direction of Young and his confrder-
ateS, and TO use all the military force necessary
to protect the officers in the discharge Of their
duties, and to enforce the laws of th- land
When authentic evidence should arrive, if It
shall establish the facts which are believed to
exist Senator Douglas believed il would be thu
duty Of Congress to apply the knife and cut out
this IualhSumr, disgusting ulcer No tempori-
zlng Police-no halfway measures will then
answer, said he. He would not undertake to
punish polygamy by act Of Congress, brcause it
would be Impracticabe to do 50, when all the
grand and petit Jurors must of necessity consist
OF polpgamlsts. Some other and more rflectual
remedy, he declared, must be devised and ap-
piled. sin my opinion said be, "he first step
should be the absolute and unconditional repeal
Of thr organic act-blotling the Territorial gov
ernment out Of eXistence-upon the ground chat
they are alien enemies and outlaws, denying
their allegiance AID drtying the authority ofthr
1 United States" Senator Douglas continued:
/ "Ibe Territorial government once abolished,
the country would revert 10 its primitive con-
dition prior TO the act Of 1880, 'under the sole
and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.
/ OF the act OF Congress OF the 30th of April, Z

and amendatory thereof, providing for the pun
Sbmrnt Of crimes against The United States
/ within any fort, arsenal, dockvard, magazine,
/ OF any other place or district Of country under
( the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States. All offences against the provisions Of
+ these acts are required bv law to be tried and
/ punished by the United States conrts in the
/ States or Territories where the offenders shall be
first aPprehended or brought for triaI' Thus
! It will be- seen that, under the plan proposed
/ Brigham Young and his Conlrderates could be-
/ unprecedented and brought to trial. to Iowa or
( Missouri, California or Oregon, or to aav other
adjacent State or Territory, where fair trial
could be- had, and Justice administered Impair
! iiaIy-where the witness could be protected
and the Judgment of the court could be carried
into execution, without violence or intimidation.

it ceased obp under the sole and exclusive ia

professions of righteousness coupled with his
promise Of marriage, he succeeded in spduCirg
the young girl from thu path of virtue and

The scamp ought to have been lodged in the

Little else than this can be expected from min
