BRIoHAM's THREAT.-The Dsssrsl
Ners has reply from "Governor
Young" to Colonel Alexander, OF the
United States Army, in which he
makes this dire and savage threat:
Ifyou persist in your attempts to
permanently locate au army in this
Territory, contrary to the wishes and
constitutional rights OF the people
therein, and with view to aid the
Administration in their unhallowed
efforts to palm their corrupt officials
upon us, and to protect them, and
biack-legs and black hearted scoun.
drels, w-ters and nurderers, as was
the sole intention in sending you
and your troops here, you will have
to meet mode OF warfare against
which your tactics furnish you no in
formation.
BRIGHAM TAUNTs COLONEL ALEX
AYDER.-The Mormon rebel, in reply
ing to letter from Colonel Alexan
der, stating that he considered the
troops under his orders amply sufti.
cient to carry ont the wishes Of the
Administration, sends him back the
following taunting allusion:
Inasmuch as you consider your force
am oily suff cient to enable you to come
to this city, why have you unwisely
dallied so long on Hams Fork, at
this late season Of the year2
LEAVING UTAH.-The mail carrier
between Salt Lake and California
stated that Brigham Young had furn'
ished passports to eight hundred and
forty disappointed Mormons-men,
women and children-who had avail,
ed themselves Of the Opp tunity, and
set out from Salt Lake for California
The messenger passed them about
four hundred miles from San Bernar
dino, and they were hurrying through
as fast as possible,
The Sacramento Bee had seen {
htter from Salt Lake, dated February
9, to his father, in which lie says (ht
is one of the Saints:)
We get along quite we'll, having
plenty to eat, but very little to wear
clothing being very scarce, as no goods
have been brought in here this year
and you cannot buy a yard ofgoods o
any kind, which is, possibly, done t
force us in manufacturing. = =
, We have one thousand mounted
troops, well armed, who are in the
mountain ranges, watching the enemy
and our intention is to enjoy freedom
at any cost. AS a last resort, if We
are overpowered, we shall burn every.
thing, and cross the mountains, where
we shall oe unmolested; but we never
intend to be conqured.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-04-22
Kansas Negro Suffrage.

The New York Tribune thus con.
strues the suffrage clause in the last
Kansas Constitution:
"The Leavenworth Constitution
says nothing about color or race. Ii
negroes are legally citizens, then they
vote like other citizens if not, they
don't vote. We rejoice that the Free
State men have been consistent and
faithful to principle"
That is, the Free State men are in
favor ofnegro suffrage, if is possible
to make them voters legally. Ifne
Igroes are legal citizens, then they vote
like white citizens. The Tribune re
CARDS negro suffrage a Republican
principle, and rejoices that the Kan
sas Republicans have been consistent
and faithful in introducing this prin'
ciple into their last Organic Act
Indiana Sentinel.
The Tribune might also have ad
ded, as an evidence of their consisten
cy and fidelity to Black Republican
principles, that the public schools are
open to both whites and blacks alike
no distinction whatever being made
on account Of color.-Gn. Eng.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-04-22

PThe Wisconsin Free Democrat,
a Black Republican sheet, sees moth.
ing but disaster and defeat in the
adoption of such a measure as the
Crttenden amendment. 1t says:
"We see the difficulties which sur.
round the matter so far as the Repub
licans are concerned, and we see also
the urgencies of the case so far as
Kansas is concerned. But, in the
light of principle, we see nothing but
disaster and defeat in the adoption Of
such a measure. 1t is the abandon.
ment of the principle of freedom for a
doubtful expedient, which may convert
the whole Republican organization in.
to a bulwark for slavery"
Tie Montgomery amendment took
