WASHINGTON, May lS.-The government
intends keeping a large military torce in the
Salt Lake valley, and will make Salt Lake
city depot for stores and equipments
Even if the late Utah Intelligence prove true,
the supply train will be pushed on and COM
muuication established and maintained DO
tween Fort LeavenwOrth and Salt Lake.
Neither our government nor Lord Napier
has received accurate information concerning
the recent visitation Of American vessels
by British cruisers. 1t is supposed that the
latter have exceeded their instructions, or the
published accounts have been very much ex-
aggeraied. Ii the transactions are a. alleged
il is believed they will not be justified by
Great Britain Our government has ad-
dressed "a letter 70 Lord Napier, and will by
the next steamer forward instructions to Mr..
Dallas on the subject.
The Setate committee Of fore On relations,
who have the matter under consideration,
will further all the measures necessary to
prevent a repetition of such outrages. The
President will shortly send to Congress the
few documents 10 the possession Of the gov
ernment, but not, as has been reported, with
a rec0mme ndatOry message, as the facts are
not sufficiently authentic to justify such
communication.
Tie House committee of elections have de-
cided by ore maj ,rlty, 10 favor of the admis-
sion Cf the Minnesota members, and will send
10 their report on Thursday.
Government has not yet received any con-
frmation of the late Utah intelligence
There seems little, if any doubt, however.
that Gov. Cumming and the other federal Of
f:ers bad gone to Salt Lake City, judging
from the circumstance that Col. Kane, few
days previous, had reached Fort Scott, after
probably having an interview with Brig.
ham Young. Colonel Kane had no written
distractions but letter from The President,
IN which be expressed bis confidence III the
discretion and ability Of that gentleman, and
recommended hln to the friendly consIdera-
ton Of those to whom the letter might be
shown, or something to that effect. 1t IS
suopo.e |, for the government has heard moth
ing from Col. Kane, tba, he had such con-
versation with Brigham Young as induced
the latter to invite Gov. Cumming TO Salt
Lake City. with view to conference.

ing committee is made the opecial order for

4 gentleman who Is we'll intormed in re!a-
ton to the Mormons, and who bad Just ar

Gen. Jackson. "second Section"


A contemporary says: such Is the tyranny
Of party in this country, that every deser'
ter from it is ordered to be shot as SUMMARY
ly az General Jackson ordered the six mil
itismen to b. shot, 'uuder the secono Sec
tiop."
When General Jackson was q candidate
for the Presidency, his name was often men
toned derisively 10 connection with 1.-THE
second section" The Crawford men in "a
and the Adams men in '28. endesvored to
prove the readiness of the Old General, by
his own words, to bang his enemies, under
the second section" But the evidence was
TO be found in declaration contained in bis
famous letter to Mr.. Monroe, written in 1917,
and NOT in any word or act concerning the
execution Of the six militia ueu, about which
80 much was said at the time.
General jackson, 10 his letter to MIR. Mon
roe, said, if the Hartford Convention had
been held 10 bis military district, be "wouid
have punished the three principal leaders OF
the party" Il am certain" said the Gene
raj, ian independent court martial would
have condemned them uEder the second Sec
ton IF the act establishing rules and regu-
laticns for the government Of the Army OF the
United States"
The second section of the act of Congress
under which the General would have tried
the members Of tue Hartford Convention,
reads as follows:
SECTION SECOND. And be it further enact
ed, that 10 time OF war, all persons DOT citizens
of, or owing allegiance to, the United States OF
America, who shall be found lurking as spies
IN or about the Notifications or encsmpments
off be armies Of the United States, or any one
of them, shall suffer death, according to the
laws and usages Of nations, by sentence OF
general court martial"
The papers opposed to General Jackson
seized upon the declarations IF his Monroe
letter to show that he was man whose ideas
were go purely military that be would trans
mute q traitor into spy, and would punish
treason, not by the civil cour;s, but by a
Court Martial one who. in any great crisis,
would convert the whole country into one
grand camp, and would reduce almost every
thing under martial law.
But many distinguished gentlemen who
thus defined his character, afterwards be-
came his ardent supporters and admirers.-
