Salt Lake City, writes, that while the Nor
mons are afraid to run the risk of open re-
bellion, they are constantly manifesting their
spite by deeds Of petty malice, and wreak
their vengeance in more fearful manner,
whenever they Gun do 50 with impunily. II
il now certain that the deaf and dumb boy.
whose murder has, hitherto, been described,
was cruelty bu.chered BY one Of the "destroy.
ing angels" named Christensen, who is for
tunaseiy under arrest. With the Indians, the
Mormons are earnestly striving TO bring
about difficulties, while their malignity to-
ward the Gentle press is excessive. Upon
the arrival of the Presidents Message, Kirk
Anderson sent an extra Of his paper, the VAL
ley Tan, which contained it, to each Of the
members of the Legislature.
After they had read the message, Hiram
clowson, Brigham Young's private secretary,
bitterly denounced the paper, and procured
the passage OF q resolution, By which most
OF the copies OF the paper were 10 be returned
to the publisher. With cowardly caution.
however, the resolution stated that no disre-
spect was intended to the Secretary or the
Presidents Message. This resolution, COM
ing, as Ia supposed, from Brigham Young,
was passed, as they say, Unanimously !" but
out of forty papers distributed but nineteen
were returned.
III the afternoon some two or three of the
members OF the Legislature came and arolo-
gized to Mr.. Anderson for wha, had been
done, stating that they regretted that such a
resolution had been passed, and the next day
the resolution was expunged.
NV YORK WOULD TAX WESTERN PKopu.
cxRs.- The Buffalo Frprea estimates, tha,
had New York charged tolls upon articles car
ried through that State on its railroads, tn,
revenue to the State from tolls levied OF
freights which have passed over the New Yorl
Central alone, the past season, would hav
reached the sum Of $500, 000--a sum sswortl
looking for" But We predict New Yor
State will lose more than ten ten times tina
amount annually, if she levies such tolls sh
should remember that there are railroa
routes 10 the seaboard that do not pas
through New York, and tba, there 10 nm GU,
let through the - Lawrence river. A doubl
toll 10 New York State in the shape Of com
missions, profits and direc, taxation, the We.
will not pay.
CT We infer that the Cuba bin is designe
to restore and secure harmony in the Demo
cratic party through "the cohesive power 0

following from the New York Herald, til
Eastern organ Of Mr.. Buchanan. That rape
