GOVERNOR CUMMING.

GREAT SALT LAKE CrIT, July 2, 1858.
70 The Editor Of de Union
SIR: The papers received in the last two or three
mails contain letters and statements IN reference to the
movements Of Gov. Cumming his first trip to Salt
Lake City at variance with facts.
Much is said of Col Kane's movements and doings
among the Mormons. Letters written ut s'Ca,Dp Scott
and statements of travellers assert that Gov Cumming
left Camp Scott for Salt Lake City April 9Th in pur
suance to positive arrangements entered into by'o T.
L. Kane and the Mormons This statement is untrue in
every particular. Col. Kane admitted that his mission
was failure.
Gov. Cummings intentions Of making an effort to
visit Salt Lake City soon the roads would permit
was no secret to his confidential friends
Consequently in pursuance to his previous determine
ton, Gov. c. left Camp Scott for Salt Lake City
April g. without any previous arrangements with any
one. 1t is trne Brigham Young notified Of the
Governor intention Gov. G. motives for attempting
to to Salt Lake City and endeavor the du
ties of his office without militsry escort his full
confidence in the moral efficacy of political nsttu
ton, and also appreciation of the wishes of the admins
aton to resort to every peaceabc to induce the
Mormons to yield to the laws of the United States
Gov Cumming, by his bold and patriotic movements
last April he's, in my opinion, prevented civil war, the
loss of many lives, and expenditure Of millions. The
Governor has by his manly secured the entire
hdence Of the people of the Territory.
Yours &C., TRUTH.

Prom Chicago Daily Democrat, Jaly 2s.l
The Douglas organs in this State especially the Times
from which the Others generally take their fire. had been
for months past denouncing the Washington Union
the central organ Of tho democratic party merceRay
sheet which actuacd not by principle but by greed
and which totally unworthy Of notice by all demo
crafts throughout the country and entirely without po
ca influence OF any kind Every article that appeared
in the Union support of democratic principles and de
mandatory of Douglas denounced ruthless at
tack upon democrats, and written with the intention OF
dividing the democratic party This abuse continued,
after it became known that these articles in the
Union not only inspired by Mr.. Buchanan but, il
asserted, even written by his hand. No doubt
Mr. Buchanan thought that If honorable for Judge
Douglas to write articles for his organ in Chicago
personally assaing Mr.. Buchanan when opposition
candidate for the presidency, it perfectly allowable
for him to assail Douglas through his organ in Wash
ngton when he had turned traitor the democratic
party and its principles.
Notwithstanding however, all these denunciations OF
the Washington Union by the Douglas men as m,rce-
nary organ without influence, principles, &C.. &c. the
Douglas newspapers in this State short time since per-
petraed forgery and fraud upon that paper which is in
excellent keeping with their mode of political action.
They got article inserted In the Douglas organ in
Washington-the denouncing the action of the
national democracy in this State and characterng their
convention as boiling irregular &c. This article was
Immediately copied into the Douglas papers throughout
the State heraded by leaders announcing the conversion
of the Union to Douglassm and calling upon both wings
of the party to lay aside all former differences and rally
to his support.
Thus the paper which was denounced AZ mercenary,
without influence &C., short time previously au-
ded to the SKIES and the words which supposed to
fall from it received with rapturous applause by
their acts then, these deaners of the Union. and
its influence the central organ of the democratic party
gave the lie to all their former denunciations
AS soon however, the Union discovered the for
gerry that had been committed it promptly denounced
the fraud and gave cheering words of encouragement to
the regular democracy of the State Again the
he was REM thcir
former denuncaton the Union and the President
again assaulted as unworthy of credit and totally with
out influence and the upon the regular democracy
again renewed bitterly before In another column
will be found the article of the Union to which al
ude We print it for the benefit of democrats who
generally see but one side of this discussion.
