Mfsdirected Clemency.


We imagine but very few persons in Callfornia
will now assert approval of the clemency ex-
hibited by Mr. Buchanan toward Brigham Young
and his chief officers. 1t was mistaken Glenn
ency to pardon those tratorous scoundrels, after
spending ten or fifteen millions Of dollars in
transporting army to Utah for the xpress
purpose of forcing the Mormons to resi- t the
authority of the Federal officers. As t had
been guilty of treason, they should haze re-
ceived that punishment due traitors. Instead
of hanging Brigham Young, however, and his
chief officers, they were suffered to 60 unwhip-
ped Ofjustice. When did traitors and murderers
ever escape thus before? Speaking on this
matter the S. F. Herald, says;
The Saints themselves were the very head
and front of those manifold and indescribable
horrors, and yet the Government refrained form
striking the black-hearted wretches Terms
were made with traitors who would have adorn-
ed scaffold in every other country on the
globe. Even Brigham Young himself, the arch
demon of the whole fendish crew, was permit
ted not only to dwell in safety as before, but to
continue, as far as possible, his former iniquit-
GUS course.
