A CUMMING, Governor, Utah Territory"
There lie general disposition to criticise this
proclamation and letter with severity Apart from
their faults of STYLE it is alleged that the Governor
has no right TO pretend doubt that Brigham Young is
the originator of the other proclamation TO which
aluson is made, and the nstigatOr of all the subse-
quent acts Of Mormon rebellion. Young sent a
copy of that proclamation to Col Alexander't
camp over bis own signature, and his letter was
open TO the Governors inspection. A6fdae,ts were
also submitted TO Gov. Cumming which prove that
Young commanded the destruction of Government
property, and the documents found on the person
of Stowell, Taylors Adjutant mot on Taylor him
SELF, complete the proof of treason.
Gov. Cumming, sm persuaded, has not been
long enough on the theater Of action to feel such
Indignation ss the reasonable acts Of the Mormons
have excited in those who have been smarting
under them for the last two months. Time will
urquestionably enable his Exeelency to realize the
emergencies of our situation more fully than be-
lieye that be now does. II be had come to the
Territory at the time originally intended, and had
perso1sliy and minutely observed the development
OF the Mormon rebellion, doubt whether such
PROCLAMATION as the foregoing would ever have been
issued. The statement would certainly have never
been made, tina, his Excelency ia detained here at
Camp Scott in consequence Of the loss of ami
msls during the recent snow.stOrm. Other and
gra7er causss, it 10 notorious, have contributed to
