The Governor's carriage was environed with
dragons. He, no doubt, felt like Alexander
the Great, or Napoleon crossing the APPS or
Hannibal before the celebrated chemical exper-
ment with vinegar. Alas, all the Governors war
ike enthusiasm has turned to vinegar while the re-
another Alps, and vinegar has no effect on 1t.
The Governor has been waiting like patience on a
monument for the overt act OF rebellion. he pro-
feesed TO be anxious to see the people OBEY Inc
laws" but never did police spy more earnestly desire
that they should break them. He has even sworn
nromneiy at the Yankee cunning that refused 10
give him chance to begin hostilities, and justify
bis warlikc movements by some questionable act
The bogus laws wanted some tinkerng, some action
that would appear to give them vitality; but, like a
irving they had to be broken before they could
be mended. The difficulty is that the people will
neither obey nor break them. They pay no atten'
tion to them 1t is clearly demonstrated that laws
not made by the people and not received by them
are dead letters The machinery of Government is
useless and inert. The people will not even accept
the Offices. Gov. Walker is dumbfOunded. The
people are supposed to be crazy in their love for
ace princple is often sacrificed for it. But here
not even the vain and corrupt dare to brave popular
sentiment by accepting share OF the usurped power
No wonder the Governor calls the people 1anatcs
A people not to be corrupted by Office, by Federal
patronage or the threats Of determination, are in-
deed fanatics What more can be done for the bas-
tard offspring of Border Ruffiansm The people
won't adopt it. Let the President issue another
PROCLAMATION. Let him declare that the bogus laws
shall be the living laws. Let Walker issue another
proclamation. Let him again appeal for the bogus
nsurpation to the Union and Providence" Let
him muster the whole army dcsigned for Utah.
Let him set spies over the people. Let him arrest
all the bold and fearless champions. Let him throw
every obstacle in the way of the people when they
take any steps to recover their political rights In
peaceful way. Let him again declare war on the
eve of the Free State Elections. Let him culOgize
fine ballot boxes in the hands of the Border Rufians.
Let him call Free State men "TOries, and Ruff IN
umIrpers democracy" What then He will
live to learn that nothing is law, or can have the
sanctiy thereof save the egtmately expressed will
of the msiority.
