In our columns will be found most remarkable procla-

From this extraordinary document learn that tempo
rary government was being organized in Green River
county Of that Territory and steps taken BY officials
extraordinary they were lille gal We have often
heard it remarked that necessty knows Law, but in
this instance Governor Cumming quite equal TO necessity
by bleeding no law The fact thS Utah now represented
having Governors each In opposition to the other,
each issuing his proclamation TO the people, and both
claiming be done by authority offers for consideration
very anomalous state Of things We have heretofore
shown that Governor Young had full authority for his
proceedings federal officer and executive of the Ter
rory That he has held bis Office as such and that the
Territorial government has been in efficient and successful
operation tor several years. BY appro patton Of the general
government certain and the only question now s has
be been lawfully succeeded by Governor CummngS If
he has not then Governor Young still Governor and
any attempt of official proceeding the part of another
he Territory must only be considered in the light Of
flibuserm, which President Buchanan fepudates, and
n which Governor Young will sustain him, so far as Utah
b concerned.
The organic act of that Territory provides that the
Governor shs hold bis office for four years, and until
his shall be appointed and qualified, unless
sooner removed by the President Of the United States

The fact that Governor Cumming has not been any

It's well known that Governor Young has generously
invited these ooers into Great Salt Lake City to spend

doing has courteousy extended TO them every facility In

With these facts before and before the world,
tbs proceedings of Governor Cumming Judge Eckes and
al their the civil department in Green River
county, can only be considered as gross outrage upon
good government, and disgrace 70 both executive and
judicial administration. Governor Young and the people
Of Utah compslled 70 denounce them rebels,

least President Buchanan do, without violating his own
oath Of office s 70 cal them all home IN disgrace, and
publicly denoupce all ouch proceedings as being illegal
unconstitutional BY doing this, he will save, in this
particular his administration from eternal insmy and dis
grace, and Governor Young the necessity OF even moro

As the people Of Utah approve Of President Buchanan
views upon nbus.erers, and are qnie willing 70 defend
their rghts at home against such, they will have no
