The United States mail arrived in this city on the even

m the contract time which is sixteen days from Cali
fornia to this place 1t brought no news OF importance
from the Pacific coast except that reported in the
California papers generally that Governor Cumming, OF
Utah, had been baptized and was now negotiating Tor
"snirtual"
There longer any necessity for Disgusting the fact
that the leading Of this community sanguney expect
the admission OF this Territory into the Union as state
during the next of Congress for 1859. What
their hopes founded upon have not been able def
nitely But the following are some Of the
reasons that have induced this belefFrst they claim
that they hundred thousand popuation second
g that hey law abiding people and third, that the
government or Congress Of the United States have
right OF these facts, to withhold from them State
government If these statements are correct (and Nor
feign 20 believe them), then they are unquestion
ably entitled matter Of right, TO state government
should they ask for one that is republican in form
But these statements correcr have been looking
searching record of the of the Territory,
which is claimed was taken few years ago, but have
been able yet find Whether there is any
such record | have means OF knowing But
this matters not From the estimates OF reliable men from
Of the Territory TO the population OF
and settlements throughout the Terrific
ry would not be wrong in saying that tue permanent
population OF the entire Territory does not now exceed
fifty thousand souls and the census of the Territory
taken should not be surprised to find the
manent population less than forty i've thousand These
conclusions arrived al from data furnished by reliable
But admit, for the sake of Mormon veracty that
there a population in this Territory of one hundred
thousand souls, that they lawabdng people, &c,
be forgotten that nearly one half OF this popua

with the Mormon government as has been conducted by
the Prophet Priest and King and determined 10 leave
the Territory the roads shall be TO Missouri
and California next Bet II there Is population at
present only fifty thousand souls, and half OF that
number shall leave the Territory within the next twelve
months which every man who with the and
learns their feelings and purposes must admit, then
State government granted by Congress would have 10
be kept up by population Of twenty i've thousand souls
who already reduced TO state OF almost absolute
poverty various systems of taxation that have been i'm
posed upon them by ambitious and designing men, in the
shame Of the Lord" And, moreover that class OF the
population that have determined TO cut themselves loose
this holy system Of ensavemen and 10 leave the
Territory Americans with some few exceptions while
the population that would remain here chiefly foreign
born and unnaturazed, knowing nothing about the INST

workings They have no love for the chief
Executive by whom their necks have been snatched from
the halter that they by their own ueasonabie
acts had prepared for themselves, OF Tor that
government which secures TO them (would they
obey mandates) life liberty and the pursuit Of happ
ness
