LATE FROM SALT LAKE.-The Valley Tan Of
April 18th says of the mormon difficulties:
1.-The United States district court at Provo has
adjourned, and we are again forcibIy reminded
from the circumstances connected with It's re-
cent session, that all attempts to administer
impartiaIly the laws of the country, or even
the statutes Of the territory. in this community,
by federal officers, are vain and futile"
The mormons are determined to submit 10
church authority only. and consequently use,
and will make use OF every stratagem, every
article, and will unhesitatingly resort to any
means to accomplish their designs, and to pre-
vent the assertion of the supremacy of the
civil law in the territory"
1T is our firm conviction that if the Judges
are not sustained and the army is removed,
we may bid adieu to all safety or protection OF
life or property for American citizens in this,
the heart Of the American republic"
The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1859-05-25

We learn from the Jetfrrscnian, published at
Sparta, Bienrille parish, that on the oh inst
the democracy OF Claiborne met in convention
and appointed delegates to the State convention
to be held in Baton Rouge this day They also
passed resolutions endorsing the administration
and complimentary to the hon. ]. NJ. Sandige,
for his course in congress. The Jeffrrsonian
saws ''the waters were considerably troubled in
adopting basis OF representation TO their par
ish convention in August next; from what we
saw and heard, we dc not hesitate TO say, that
old Claiborne stands fast, and will be down on
Douglas and squatter sovereignty"
