enclosing copy Of dispatch from Gov. Cum
ming dated May 2, received at the State De-
parliament yesterday. From this the President
says, there is reason to believe that our dlfcul-
ties with Utah have terminated, and the laws
are restored. He congrgtulates Congress on
this suspicious event, expresses the opinion that
there will be no occasion to make the appro-
pliation for the three Regiments of Volunteers
r.cently authorized for the purpose of quelling
the disturbances in Utah. and for the protection
Of the emigrant trains and supplies, and says
that Texas can be defended by the regular
troops now within her limits. The President is
the more gratifed because the events in Utah
will afford some relief to the Treasury, and not
require loan and additional taxation of the
people. In a letter to Secretary Cass, Gov.
