IMPORTANT FR ON UTAH.
EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE COMING OF
THE Z. S. TROOPSt

we nave news from Salt Lake tlty 10 the
18th of August Considerable excitement
appeared to be manifested about the move
ment of the United States troops towards
Utah, and Governor Young had already ia
ken beligerent stand. Our extracts are
from fileNof the Salt Lake News.
Cor. Young threatens the Government
He Adntonishes the u. s. Troops TO Be-
rare-Adrice to Mr.. Buch anan.
The following is the closing portion of
Governor Young's sermon, delivered in Salt
Lake City on the Goth Of July:
What IL now the news circulated through
out the United States? That Captain Gun
nison was killed by Brigham Young, and
that Rabbit was Killed on the plains BY
Brigham Young and his DANTE band What
more? That Brigham Young has Killed ail
the men who have died between the Missouri
river and California. do not say that Mr..
Buchanan has any such idea, or the officers
of the troops who are reported TO be on their
way here, tut such are the newspaper sto-
ries. Such reports are in the bellows, and
editors and politicians are blowing them out.
According to their version am guilty Of
the death OF every man, woman and child
that has died between the Missouri river and
the California gold mines, aud they are com
ing here to chastsc me. The idea makes me
laugh-and when do you think they will get
chance? Catching is always before hang
ing. They understand, you know, that
had gone north, and intended to leave this
place with such rs would follow me, and
they are coming to declare a jubilee. Ii is
their desire TO say to the people, '1you are
free YOU are not under the bondage Of Brig
ham Young; you need wear his yoke no
longer now let US get drunk, fight, play at
cards and race horses and exery one OF you
women turn to be prostitutes and become
associated with the civilization of christen-
dom.'' That is the freedom they are endcav-
oring to declare here. l will make this prop
osition TO Uncle Sam: will furnish car
riages, horses, the best Of drivers and the
best food have, to transport TO the States
every man, woman and child that wishes to
leave this place, if he will send on al his own
expenses oil those who want to come to Utah,
and We will gain q thousand to their one, as
all who understand the matter very we'll
know. II would have been much better to
have loaded the wagons, reported to be on
the way here, with men, women and children,
than with provisions to sustain soldiers, for
they will never get here without we help
them neither do | think thatit is the design
Of President Buchanan that they should come
here. | am not going to interpret dreams,
for don't profess to be such prophet as
we're Joseph Smith and Daniel, but am a
Yankee guesser, and guess that james Blu
chanan has ordered this expedition to APP
pease the wrath Of the angry hounds who
are bowling around him. But woe, woe, to
that man who comes here to unlawfully in
teifere with my affairs. Woe, woe to those
men who come here to unlawfully meddle
with me and this people lswore in Nauyoo,
when my enemies were looking me in my
face, that would send them to hell across
lots il they medded with me, and ask no
more odds Of hell to-day. II they kill me,
it's all right but they will not until the time
comes, and think that shall die natural
death, at least | expect to. Would it not
make any man or community angry to en-
dure and reflect upon the abuse our enemies
have heapei upon US, and are still striving
to pour out upon Gods people?
1t would be hard for the people to explain
away the idea that the government of the
United States is shutting down the gate upon
US, for il is too visible; and this is what has
tens the work OF the Lord, which you are |
PRAYING for every day. do not believe that |
there is a man or woman who prays at all, |
but what prays every day for the Lord to
hasten his work. Now take care, for IL he |
does, msybe you viii not be prepared to meet
il.
.i'he time must come when there will be
separation between this kingdom and the
kingdom of this world, even in every point
of view. Tho time must come when this
kingdom must be free and independent from
ull other kingdoms. Are you prepared to
have the thread cut to day?
Now let me tell you one thing, shall take |
ii as witness thai God designs to cut the !
thread between us and the world, when an
army undertakes to make their appearance
in this territory to chassise me or TO DESTROY
nv life from the earth. | lay it down AS !
rule that right is, or at least should be, might !
with heaven, with its servant, and with ali /
its people on the earth. As for the rest, we
will wait little while to see +: but shall
take hostile movement by our enemies rs
an evidence that il is time for the thread TO
be cut. think that We will find three hun
dred who will lap water, and We can whip
out the Midianites. Brother ifeber said that
he could turn out his women and they would
whip them. ask no odds OF the wicked,
the best way they can tx it.

FaFson nroWntoM On Democracy.
Passon Browniow discourses in the last
number Of the Knoxville Wing, on the Sub.
leot OF the late election in Tennessee. He
acknowledges the fact that his party has suf-
fered complete ''roate," but at the same
time is indisposed to coaiesce with the De-
mocracy. His reason for the refusal he
gives in the following brief extract:
"We recognise in the ranks Of the Demo-
cratic party, thousands of high-minded men,
ardent patriots, and true lovers OF their
country but before We will fall into the sun.
j port OF what we believe to be the reckless
and ruinoas policy--the low dung humbug-
gerry, and vi.lainous desig of this sclf-
styled 'Nationa! Democratic party We
would see that unwashed, unterliiied, un.
