WEEKLY REVIEW.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
The long looked for come at last! The
Washington Union Of the oath ult. an
nounces the appointment Of Col. Cumming
to the Governorship of Utah. He is said
to be a mano of tried integrity, having had
a large experience in frontier life, and
possessing courage allied with prudence,
energy combined with a co~nciliatory ma
ture. Nothing less, indeed, than these
requisites, is necessary to the man under
taking to perform the service expected of
him under the present circumstances
The following, we clip from the semi
official organ of the administration, shows
that his responsibilities are more numer-
.ots than it is generally supposed:
Among the difficulties to be encoun-
tered in Utah, it may be incidentally men,
.doned that Brigham Young claims a title
toall the lands in the Territory, and has
never recognized the United States sur
.veys. None Of his followers have pur-
chased lands In accordance with our Saws.
Hence, one of the delicate duties of the
federal courts of that Territory, will be to
establish and maintain the rights Of those
who mayhereafter purchase In accordance
with our laws. Not an individual in all
Utah now holds q foot of land the title of
which is derived from the United States,
and it follows, under this strange condition
of things, that all parts of the Territory
are at the present time open to pre-emp-
ton"
To aid. Col. Cumming in the accom-
plishment of his arduous task, the govern
ment has placed at his disposal and under
his direct command a body of troops, num-
bering $500 men, who are presently to
be concentrated at Fort Leavenworth.-
1t is possible, however, that resort to force
will not be necessary to compel obedience
to'the federal authorities in Utah, for,
while Brigham Young organizes the
Mormon militia, late reports state that
d~issensiOns have arisen among the saints.
The San Francisco Bulletin says
The news from Utah is Important
The little nation built up by the energies
engendered by superstition, ambition ant
self interest, is divided against ITSELF. 1
must shortly fall. All are not saints whc
are in Utah. There are 5000 'apostates
at Salt Lake, its principal city. They art
prescribed and prosecuted. They are I'm
der the ban of the church. Neither thei
lives or their property are protected
Their wives and their children and thl
things that in other nations are held sa
cred, they hobby a tenure which is lin
tied by the caprice of a besotted priest
hood. Destroying Angels paid an
authorized assassins, are the ministers o
the justice there melted out. All ar
transgresSors who venture to doubt tn
inspiration which commands a robbery O
dictates p murder. Force and fear ar
the only bands which hold It's people long
er together. Emigration is forbidden. H
who would fly their accursed rule mu.
leave behind his wife and children
Neither is his property under his contrt
nor can he take ii with him. The frui
of his OWL industry are liable to be take
from him. If he attempts to Withhold
q. them his life may pay the forfeit"
If the foregoingis a true representatic
of the state of things at Salt Lake, it
obvious that all the oppressed of mormc
priesthood will accept with joy the int
ference, of Col. Cumming, and concur Wi
him in the establishment of the reign
"hw and ORDER in hat Territory.
Mr.. Bowlin, our minister in New CIR
NADIA, is shortly expected at Washingto
More than ever an amicable adjustme
of our difficulties with that republic m;
be confidently anticipated.
We have literally nothing from Euro
worthy of record.
We close the present review by chppil
from the New York Herald a few lin
exposing, better than we could, a pl'
designed for a renewal of the polite
connections which have so long disturb'
one Of our sister republics:
"The combination that is on foot b
tween Rome, Spain and England to r
place Santa Anna in power IN Mexico,
