the Government of tie United States, and to
lnurdcr our citizens Assuming at the Govern
meBt Olthe United States, and acting open de
tiance to our laws.
Under these circumstances, the duty of the
Administration is clear, and Inc had the most
Implicit confidence in Mr. Buchanans boldness
wisdom, and iiflnness, and he was satisfied he
would move straight forward iearlessly, n.the
path of duty lie was asked what his VIEWS Of
that duty were. Simply and in short remove
Brigham Young, and all other officers of the
Territory who sympathize with him in his
treason at once from Office, and send able, bold,
unflincling meu TO take their places. Send
with them a strong and efficient body Oftroops
under experienced and able officers, who will
lie able to protect the civil officers, and enforce
the law. Let us have goOl men for Governor
Marshal, District Attorney and Judges; and
then let us have full and fair investigation into
affairs there; let US know who murdered Bah
bitt who masSacred GunniSon-whO has Eeen
guilty ofall the murders aad arsons and robber-
les, and every s. ecies of crime that has diSgraced
that Territory for years past Let us have
these facts in in an official shape, le,Ore the
! President and Congress- and the country will
soon learn that, in the performance of high
and solemn duty devolvlng upon the Executive
anu NJOHHICSNj tIlSIC W Ill NC no Oi
heSitating policy. 1t will be as prompt as the
peal that follows the flash, as stem and unyield-
ing as death. Should such state of things ac-
tually exist as we were led to infer, from the re-
ports, and such information comes i'll an official
shape, the knife must be applied TO this pestif-
crous disgusting cancer which is knawing into
| the very vitals of the body polite. 1t must be
cut out bv the roots, and scared over by the red
| hot Of cio nd latt-
! Should all efforts fail to bring them to a
sense of their duty there is but one remedy left.
Repeal the @yanielaw ofNe Ia3Uo1Y on the
ground that they are alien enemies and outlaws,
unfit to be citizens of Territory, much less ev-
er to become citizens of ole of the free and indie
pendent States Of this glorious conlederacy.-
! To protect them farther in their reasonable,
disgusting and bestial practices, would be dis
grace to the country a disgrace to humanity, a
| disgrace to civilization, and a disgrace to the
spirit ofthe age. Blot it out as one of the orga-
nzed Territories of the United States--what
then? 1t will be regulated hy the law of119O,
which has exclusive and sole jurisdiction over
all territory not incorporated nnder any organic
or special law. By the provisions Of this law,
all crimes and misdemeanOrS committed Oh it,
soil can be tried before the legal authorities o
any State or Territory to which the offender
shall be first brought for trial, and punished
Under that law persons have been arrested in
! Kansas, Nebraska, and other Territories, prio,
to their organization as Territories, and hanged
Tor their crimes. The law of $50 has sole and
exclusive jurisdiction, where no other law Oft
local character, exists, and by repeating the or
ganic law Of Utah, give to the general Govern
lnent OF the United States the whole and sole
! jurisdiction over the Territory. -.. .sa ,
