EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

WHEREAS, l have this day been informed

known. have associated themselves to-
gether in Il military capacity, near Gush-
en-, and at other points in or near the
mountains surrounding Great Salt Lake

that those associations and assemblagcS are
unlawful, and directly tending to interrupt
and jeopardize the peace and good order Of
this Territory.
| now hereby order and command that all
persons so associated and assembled togeth-
or shall Immediately dispense and return to
their homes and usual aCocatlons, and that
all and every such persons who shall refuse
Immediately to obey this command and in
junction, are hereby declared disturbers Of
the public peace of this Territory, and as
such disturbcrs of the public peace shall be
arrested and dealt with according ito law in
the premises.
And hereby direct, authorize and en-
power John Hay, the Marshal elected by the
force, carry out. and execute the foregoing

L. s. the Territory of Utah, at Great
~ Salt Lake City, this ninth day of
May, A. d. eighteen hundred and fifty
nine \. Gu MMlAG,
Governor Utah Territory.
The Valley Tan, commenting upon the
proclamation, says:
This order, in our opinion, should have
been directed to Federal officer to execute,
for Governor Cumming, with the history of
this Territory before him, and especially the
records Of the last two months, should not
fail to perceive that the last two thunder
bolts issued from the Executive department
is q creased shaft in the hands Of the Nor
mon manipulators. The circumstances that
surround US and those that have preceded
are pregnant with carnage, the utter inability
Of the United States Courts to do anything
in this Territory, should at least, in our es-
timation, have called for different appoint
mcnt than that made by the Governor.
We shall! await the result Of the proclama
ton wlh no anxiety whatever, for we have
ceased to be anxious about matters here,
but at the same time firmly believing, to
use the Indian word, that it will prove "k0
.rOt.'
