country; that while the "land We live in was purrA.,
by the United States" it was paid for By yUr sx...
and blood and that the deserts that surround aIs..
on them the immortal records Of our unswervine ana
patriotic devotion.
People of the Uned States, we are your srov.
citizens and claim with yon fair play in the ba,or.
arena We are not guilty that we choose dsrkpsss
rather than light or shun close examination ofAl
the charges brought against MS. We covet invest.
CATION. We have sought il for years What apsks,
has ever been offered for it, refusal What exc,ss
can be made now II is very late TO be sure ba, IA,
golden bowl though full is net YET oyertlown n,
silver cord though hapy lis extreme tension is ng
vet broken. There fair reasons 10 set aside ths
verdict already pronounced and give us an impartial
trial.
The calm quetude that for eleven years had perya.
ded our mountain home and made the wilderness pa.
radse has at length YIELDED the ground for while TO
the more acceptable rantings Of civilization; and
fair opportunity is offered to contrast the barba-
ritv Of Utah in its secluded geneness with the fash.
iorable revelings of her morallLers.
IL can no longer be argued that reign of anaticL
terror prevents the opportunity for an impartial nves.
,igaion. A proudly accoutred garrison presents ihs
bra7en arguments OF lis artillery IN defense Of 40
appointed committee. Two thousand bayonets pro-
tect the evidence; while four gallant squadrons are
ready to the Territory in search OF the fearful
testimony.
In calm submission to the ungodly desecraicu of
our peaceful homes in the desert, we demand and
await the investigation to follow which should have
preceded our condemnation.
We do not thrust away nor scorn the pardon Of our
Chief Executive. We accept the amnesty, bat deny
the guilt. We are at peace, good, honest, hearties
peace with the nation but is it just that rpula-
ton should unscrupuously be buried with tho
hatchet :
We deny the charges collectively and singlely upon
which the crusades against us have been grounded.
We acknowledge not single act or thought tha, wS
treacherous to the sacred principles of American
liberty.
In the darkest epochs of our sad history the eyid-
ences of our patriotism found emblazonei in iGl
and indeble characters. Defcnseless and suffering
have we abandoned household treasures, whenour
country called for our strength, and the hghwsysof
the nation bear the tracks of weary marches Ws
bore her flag in triumph through the territory eiher

To OUR FRIENDS ABRoAD.-Through cmenm-
stances at present useless 10 mention, and conduct
probably unknown to u.s. since June last but few le'-
ters have been received by persons holding important
positions in our community aud many of the lettss
then received were in a bad condition when saw
them. While our postal facilities from here TO Ms
souri, remain as they have for more than year past,
do not feel justified in committing any important
business communications to the care of that mail nor
have we done 20.
Whether letters and other mail matter will any moro
certainly reach their destination if forwarded 10 by
Panama and California, remains TO be learned; but,
for the present, We carefully avoid committing letters
To either route, aud would commend that course To
friends abroad. in all matters of the least mpor-
tance, until the mails are more reliable.
We can let the mails alone and avail ourselves OF
other channels for communication, while present
abuses exist, which will not be freasoRabAe.
II postal affairs throughout the Union can not bs
managed any better than they are, it is time 10 abo-
ish the present system and leave the Transmission Of
letters papers drafts &c., to untrameled indvifusi
competition and enterprise, TINT all may rejoice and
profit in being rid of Department which rests Ike
an incubus upon this great Republic.
