on the Invasion Of Utah by the o. 8. Forces.
The New York Times contains some interest
2ng news from Utah. The Mormons are CIV
sing utterance to dire threatenings, drawn forth
oy the approach Of the troops towards the Ter
sitory. Brigham Young has made two infam-
matory speeches to the Saints" declaring it
30 be the duty of the faithful to resist the Efforts
gut forth BY the Government for their exter
nination and stating, in positive terms, that a
separation of "the kingdom from every other
kingdom is close at hand-in other words, that
the act of Government in dispatching troops
againct Utah is to be considered fair ground
Tor refusing to yield obedience to Federal laws
Brigham, moreover, asserts that, should Gov
eminent send other officials to Utah of the
same stamp as those who have heretofore been
commissioned, "they will require more than
twenty five hundred soldiers to protect them
from Mormon fury" We make the following
extracts from one of Brigham's speeches:
"The time must come when there will be q
separation between this kingdom and the king
doms of the world, even in every point of view.
The time must come when this kingdom must
be free and independent from all other king
doms. Are you prepared to have the thread
cut to-day?
Nov, let me tell you one thing. shall
take it as q witness that God designs to cut the
thread between us and the world, when an
army undertakes to make their appearance in
this Territory to chastise me, or to destroy my
life from the earth. ! lay it down that right is
or at least should be might with Heaven, with
its servants, and with all its people on the
earth. As for the rest, we will wait little
while to see; but shall take hostile move
ment by our enemies as an evidence that it is
time for the thread to be cut. think that we
will find three hundred who will lap water, and
we can whip out the Midianites. Brother He
Der said he could turn out his women, and they
would whip them. ! ask no odds of the wicked,
the best way they can fix it.
But woe, woe to that man who comes here to
unlawfully interfere with my affairs. Woe,
woe to those men who come here to unlawfully
NEEDLE with ne and this people. I swore in
Nauvoo, when my enemies we're looking me in
the face, that would send them to hell across
lots, if they meddled with me, and ask no
odds of all hell to-day. If they kill me, it is all
right; but they viii not until the time comes,
and | think that I shall die natural death-at
least, expect to. Would it not make any
man or community angry to endure and reflect
upon the abuse our enemies have heaped upon
us, and are still striving to pour out upon
Gods people?"
