Your memorialists, the Legislative Assembly OF
the Territory of Utah, respectfully pray your hon

Your memorialists believe that the appointing of |

of self government, and opposed to the genius ana

THE MASSACHUSETTS AND Nova SCOTIA TELEGRAPH
BILL PASSED The HoUsE.-Boston, April 5.-The bill
to incorporate the Massachusetts, and Nova Scotia
Telegraph Cable Company came up in the House
last night, and without debate passed, to be en-
crossed by nearly a unanimous vote.
The House has nobly shown its power to resist
the lobby influence from New York, which has been
brought to bear upon it to an extent unparalleled
in the history of the legislation of this State The
grossest Misrepresentation have been resorted to
to defeat the BILL but thanks to the integrity OF the
House. it has withstood them all, and has legislated
for the interest of Massachusetts as against New
York dctation.
Over six millions six hundred thousand dollars o
capital and property in Boston have asked for th
bill, and there also large and influential petit
lions for it from Salem, Lynn Gloucester, &c. NO
e a dollar of Massachusetts, capital appears to Oppose
it, and under such circumstances it hardly seem
e possible that the Senate can refuse to pass thu
new bill.
: In the House last evening Mr.. Merrill, of Boston
presented petition in favor OF the bill, OF which
/ the following is copy:
