Strange Conduct of Gov. Cumming at Utah

Strange Conduct Of Gov. Cumming at Utah
The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter TO gentleman in st. Louis,
communicated to the Democrat of that
city:
GREAT SALT LAKE Cry, June 23. 1858.
You will have heard how our corpulent
Governor has been "Steptoed" by the
Mormons. He seems to be almost insane.
He takes pains to quarrel with every Gen.
tile within his reach, from Gen. Johnston.

filate with the first cuJ.throats in the
Mormon community. Ho is alternating

sons on whom he can expect to lean when
he finds hc has been fooled by Bro. Brigh.

Directly in front of me is a pile of letters
all OF which have been opened by steaming
them ill the gum on the envelope ceased
to stick, or by cutting open the ends of tho
envelopes and sticking them carefully to
gether again.
They call the present coalition of affairs
"harmony;" or at least the Governor calls
it so; but there is not Gcntile in the city
who does not sleep with revolver under
his pillow.
The vanguard of the army is expected
to morrow, and then we shall breathe frcer.
If Gen. Johnston had the supreme civil
power Of the Territory in his hands, as he
has the military, we might h We durable
peace. As it is, this pstchcd.up mess of
Gov. Cummings will cease to stick MS soon

Infamous Letter from Bucbora,

The President is not satisfied in bribino
members Of Congress, and controlling the
legislation Of Congress by official patronage,
but ne undertakes to control the. nomina.
tion of candidatesfor Congress by the same
corrupt means, all over tho country. The
New Albany (InD Tribune publishes the
following letter from Mr.. Buchanan to Bill
English, received by the latter a few days
prior to the Congressional Convention in
his District, and doubtless used by him to
facilitate his nomination. ~ -lf
WASHINGTON, July rs, 1858.
Hon. VIM H. ENGLISH:
DEAR SIR-Aware that convention e,r
nominating Democratic candidate for Con.
gress in your District will convene in n ccw
days, l cannot refrain from expressing the
hope that you may be the unanimous nom.
inee OF the convention. IF lived in your
district and had a thousand votes. Won
should have them all. Occupying the DO.
sition you do consider it essential that
you should succeed in obtaining the nomi.
nation. A failure in this would be regarded
by me as rebuke Of my Administration.
There may be some aspirant or aspirants
for the position in your way. If so you
say to them that by giving you clear track,
they will gain my favor and may expect to
be provided for in suitable manner. IF
nominated, will throw as much assistance
into your district as you may desire.
Our friend Hughes, see, has hard
row to hoe He will be literally sustained.
OF this you may rest assured.
Your friend, JAMES BucHANAv.
We are "fallen on evil days" indeed,
when President Of the United States con-
sents to append his namo to such mis-.
sive as the foregoing. II is nothing but a
corrupt inducement held out to certain par
ties, to cease their opposition to his private
wishes, and rs such deserves to be branded
with universal scorn. It's effect in this in.
stance, was decisive. When the day of the
the convention arrived, both the opposing
candidates withdrew, and English received
q unanimous nomination, when everybody
had regarded his defeat as inevitable! It
remains to be seen in what sort of suitable
manner" Messrs Cravens and Sherrod will
be "provided for" out of the Presidential
bounty; and also whether the "liberal sus.
that Hughes is to receive from
the same source, will enable him TO secure
his reelection, in spite Of the forn liable
odds now arrayed against him.

PUT ABOUT THE SHIP.-THE KANSAS RACE.
The original issue about slavery in Kansas was a
fraud perpetrated upon the country by the opposi-
ton it is therefore perhaps to be expected that
whatever relates to politics hereafter in regard to
that Territory will be tainted with the same general
characteristics present there seems to be close
race between considerable number politicians, the
crown of victory to be awarded to the who shall
be the first to get Kansas into the Union, and
with the fewest possible inhabitants. 1t is note
worthy that in the contest the great doctrine of nom
Intervention is carried to the extent of utterly ex-
GLIDING the people Of the Territory from all partci-
patton in, responsibility for, the result of the
race. This is what we call running non-interyention
into the ground, as take it the Territory alone
and not its inhabitants is to be clothed with the at
tributes of sovereignty. Rejecting for moment
that application can be made by the people next
winter, because the two months time between tho
meeting of the territorial Legislature and the 4th of
March next is quite too short to authorize and elect
delegates to State convention frame constitution,
submit it to the people, get the returns and send up
the new organization, we shall be fully prepared to
appreciate the disnterested patriotism which is now
employed in getting Kansas into the Union at the
ing session Of Congress. Meanwhile the nags en-
tered for the race are expected to over tho
ground for the amusement of the largo body of
spectators who have been decoyed to the great Kan
sas course in tho confident belief that it is to be

Quick WoRK.--We said not long ago, that as there
is no law in Kansas to authorize the election of del
egates to convention, and as tho legislature of
that Territory hold their next session in January
next, they would not have time to make constitu-
ton and get it before Congress at its coming session.
The Tribune disagrees in this wise
"The Washington Union is quite mistaken when it
insists that the question of the admission of Kansas
not come before Congress before December 1859 In the
first place. it is not true that constitution can
authorized framed, submitted and approved so as to
reach Congress at its coming session After all the
perience the people of Kansas have had in the bust
ness of making constitutions, the whole thngfrom the
passing of act to call convention down to the sub
mission Of the constitution to tho peoplemny easily be
put through in three four months"
Well, suppose you "put State organizatitn
through in four months; that will be just two
months after the adjournment of Congress. We adj
nit that your people are experts at making and
breaking constitutions but we have no faith that
you pass law, give it publicity, call an cleo
ton, conduct it, determine the result, assemble
convention, frame constitution, call another cleo
ton upon your works, get the returns and send up
your organization TO Congress- within the short
space of two months. That we never shall believe
till we it finished. 1t could not bo DONE even if
it were to save State from slavery.
