high priest and guardian, chief saint and
soldier, prophet and protector.
To allow the continuance of his rule as
civil Governor, was to link the United
States Government. through its Official,
with the barbarism of bis ecclesiastical
doctrines. Using his position, not to for
ward the interests of the United States
Government. but to build up as o~rganiza-
ton utterly and Numerically opposed to
its doctrines, be has ultimately attained
such power as warrants him in throwing
of all allegiance to this Government, and
-audaciously proclaiming tha.he is Cover
nor of Utah by Divine appointment. II
is somewhat pardonable that the London
Times should sheer at the effect of our
"cheap Government which, represent
ing over "twenty millions Of people, cam
not put down the rebellion Of a small
State. the whole population Of which
men. women, and children do not
amount TO much more than a hundred
thousand" 1t has not been, however,
from the want of the power, but from an
excess Of. stupid forbearance on u part,
that t'an infamous nest Of M~ormonites'
have crowed over us.
If patience In this matter ever was a
virtue, which we have always doubted, 1t
certainly has no claim to the metaphorical
or philosophical designation now. We
are glad that the President thinks so, and
heartily concur in the views he puts forth,
and the promptness he recommends in the
premises. The President holds that hui
mainly demands the strong arm of the
United States in Utah, and that only by
Its presence can a useless efusion of
blood be saved.
Since the Presidents Message was de-
livered to Congress, the news from Utah
confirms, IN its most rebellIous phases,
the accounts of Mormon opposition which
we had previously received. The deter
mination to resist the entrance of Cover
nor Cumming and the officials appointed
by the President, is confirmed by acts as
well as words. Does it not seem ridicu-
lous for an American citizen to hear that
the duly appointed governor and officials
of a United States Territory would enter
the sphere of their duties eff possible.
We see it stated that the last news
from Utah has greatly excited the people
of California, and that they desire tc
conduct the war against their Mormon
neighbors. 1t is evident that California
could cooperate very effectively with the
United States troops in the movement
on the doomed Territory.
The sooner the recommendation of the
President and Secretary of War is com
piled with by Congress, the regiments
raised, and the United States soldiers
brought face to say with the Latter-D Day
Saints, the better.

International Reciprocity.

President. Buchanan has caused a
splendid silver trumpet TO be presented to
Captain w. McLennon, of the British
ship Star, for his gallant and humane con-
duct in rescuing the officers and crew of
the American schooner Northern Light
from shipwreck. The Charleston Cou-
rier says the trumpet is of the most beau
tiful workmanship. Beneath the mouth
piece is an engraved figure of the Dol
phin, directly below which, and enriching
the neck of the trumpet, is a silver rope,
and along the body are representations Of
the ancient gallien. One side of the bel
bears the American eagle, encircled by a
wreath, while on the opposite side is en-
graved the following inscription "The
President of the United States to w. w.
McLennon, captain of the British ship
Star, for his noble and ~disinterested con-
duct towards the captain ard crew of the
American schooner Northern Light"

Utah..

The Presidents Message is distinct,
fOrcible, and peculiarly graphic, on the
Mormon question, covering all The ground,
and indicating the only measures equal to
the emergency. Matters have gone to
such lengths, thai. it is, in our opinion,
'hoping against hope' 10 expect or dream
of a p~eaceable subjugatiOn of the Nor
mons to allegiance. Unsuitable ambition,
based on ignorance and guided by irres-
possibility, in the. head of Mormonism,
and lust, rapine, and fanaticism in the
body Of the organization; it is not to be
expected hat either one will easily yield
to the other the jurisdiction of that law
and Christian order which is the natural
enemy of both.
Brigham Young and the Mormons. the
prophet and the saints, are respectively
and mutually the growth of congenial and
accommodating vices, as sinners are the
soldiers of evil, and evil the offspring of
sinners. They are to all intepts and pur-
poses a unit in their. opposition to, and
~depredations upon, the United States and
the citizens thereof. Young relies fol-
success. on the fanaticism of his followers;
and the latter, from the depths of their
superstItious bestiality, look to him as ht
one light which is to guide them through
all opposition Ignorance and immortality
which may render an individual acoward
have exactly the opposite effect when
thousands are actuated by an Identical In
d~ividuahty. Unity is strength. Under
the effect Of combination, shy ignorance
becomes blatant arrogance, and the in.
.sulting menace is quicky followed by the
defiant blow.
For Brigham Young to change his pc.
Icy of bullying the United States, woult
be to ~unprOphet himself before his people
In the impunity with which he has beer
allowed to disregard law and order, TIT

The essence of popular sovereignty and q
first principle OF genuine democracy 10, that
governments are instituted solely for the ben
eft of the people, and have no other duty but
TO enact and execute their will in protectin.
their rights. This position will hardly be called
in question by any one. Z.
Our city governments, therefore, 10 wstch
over and protect our rights and interests as a
local community. For this purpose il was in
stituted, and for no other Now wish to know
by what right our citizens are made partners
in the liquor trade? Soon after our city
governmel was organized, oae Of its officers
said: /" We have money in the treasuy."'-
"We have taken hundred or two dollars for
lic.nses.' We have read of a spendthrift,
who on being sent to school and not having
money enough to snit him, sold his books and
wrote to his father, g Rejoice with me Father.
for now the books support me- Selling the
books was way to get money but not exactly
the way to accomplish the object Of going to
school. Selling licenses, too, . rather down
hill way of making money. ss ss Is t,t,ss
IF the last thirty years in the history of our
country has taught us anything, it is that for
every dollar that we receive for license to sell
liquor, we are taxed at least ten, to support
the poor and execute the criminal laws vio-
lated in consequence of its sale, to say nothing
of the general shabbiness and Incidence that
mark the region of the groggery.F BY what
principle, then. are citizens, as such, made
partners in this reckless and rninous business?
Can any one tell US why grog selling should
be a city Institution, while arsenic, strychnine,
and other things both good and bad are left at
the discretion of private citizens, and to folL,w
the ordinary coiirae Of trade2 Is it on account
OF some hereditary folly that formerly pervad-
ed the public mind and has not yet fully pass
ed away? ltused to be thought that alcoholic
liquors were necessary to the highest deyelope-
ment Of human health and happiness. But
this notion has long since been set aside on
the best medical authority. If any are still
ignorant on this subject, why will not some of
the medical fraternity who recognize it their
duty as good citizens 10 be ever vigilant Of
the welfare Of the community" give some
counsel or this subject, either "to those in
authority" or " through the public press?o
A "contagioul disease" prevails in this
community which has destroyed ten, where the
small pox has taken off one, and is producing
the most woful effects both on body and mind,
Of many of our fellow, citizens, among whom
may be found some who are most valued
amongst US. Where is the medical profession
that il does not let its remonstrance ring in the
public ear, till the ravages Of thus most de-
structive epidemic is effectually and finally
checked? ~ i3., yf. ~. A CITIZEN.
