Important from Salt Lake.
Judge SincIdir threatens to Quarter the
Troops IN Great Salt L0ks City.
Correspondents N. Y. Herald

GHEAr SALT LAKE Orr, q. T. April %.
In my last letter I informed you Of the
threat Of Judge Sinclair that he would hold
court in this city during May, with three
fourths Of the army now at Camp Floyd quar-
tered in Union Square, resdy to carry out his
orders.
An express from Camp Floyd arrived here
on Sunday night with the intslligence that
two regiments were coming to the CITY to
make arrests, and it was expected that they
would have orders for forced marches, to
come in upon US unawares. Immediately on
Governor Cumming being made acquainted
with the report and circumstances, which
leave no room to doubt Of the plans Of the
Judges, he notified Gen. d. B. W Giles to
hold the militia in readiness to aot on orders.
By two O'Clock on Monday morning Eve thou
sand men we're under arms. Had tho United
States troops attempted to enter the city the
struggle must have commenced, for the Gov
ernor is determined to carry out his instruo-
tions. What has deferred their arrival here
we know not; but now that this plan is
known, watchful eye is kept on the Damp,
and the shedding Of blood seems inevitable.

carefully revised, to which will be added
nearly ten thousand new words, table Civ

This will be an interesting
and important feature. There are many
hundreds Of terms that cannot be defined by
words SO as to convey clear and definite
idea. A pictorial representation places the
matter at once before the mind in the exact
manner desired. The specimens Of cuts
which we have seen, are of the most excel

satisfactory display Of any language was
never before compiled, and certainly but few
books Of more general use and interest were
ever printed.

a Test OF their sincerity /.

The Democracy pretend to be good deal
exercised because of the adoption OF the two
years amendment to the Constitution Of
Massachusetts. Yet that party, not in any
state or territorial capacity, but in it's no
tional capacity, attempted to deprive the
foreign-born citizens Of Minnesota Of any
participation in the formation OF State
Government. That was an outrage greater
than the people Of Massachusetts have been
guilty Of. Massachusetts impairs the rights
Of no person now citizen. She only ap-
plies the rule to those who are to come in
hereafter. The proposition Of the Democra-
cy with regard to Minnesota was to deprive
peraons already citizens Of their just and
proper franchises, as we'll as oil who were
thereafter to come in. In that attempt they
were defeated by the Republican Congress-
men. But We heard no thunders ofindigna-
ton, nor even any mild rem onstrance, from
the Democratic press, against this effort Of
their representatives.

II Republican Party organized In X an.

The Republican party was organized at q
great convention at Ossawatome on the 9th.
A sound and forcible platform was reported
by Mr.. Ewing, (son of Hon. Thomas Ewing, }
and after much discussion, unanimously and
enthusiastically adopted. A more eloquent
and comprehensive document, more exactly
and satisfactorily explaining the aims and
spirit Of the party, has not appeared under
the auspices Of any convention in the States.
Henceforth the Republican cause and the
Free State cause in Kansas are substantially
one, and together they are bound to triumph
over every obstacle, as the Free State cause
has hitherto triumphed over the violence of
Border Rufhans and the arms and intrigues
of two Democratic Administrations. Such
is the upshot and outcome of deliberate Of
fort, organized and led on by Douglas and
Atchison. by force and fraud and party pow
er to reduce that great region from her high
and hopeful position as rich, free territory
to the dullness and degradation Of slavery.
Five years of incessant struggle, originating
in that effort, have resulted in the substantial
establishment of freedom in Kansas and the
disorganization and destruction Of the party
that attempted to abase her.

In the present conflict, the sympathies Of

vor Of Louis Napoleon. 1t would cause al
most Shrek Of delight to see the war ter

that popular rights and national liberties are
to be established and defended under his
