topic in political circles. The Breckinridgers are
ready to accept, but the Douglas are holding
back and nothing will transpire until the meeting
of their committee tomorrow. Some of their
leading papers are opposed to the scheme, and it is
said Judge Douglas himself does not favor it
The Herald, in noticing the call for the meeting OF
the Douglas committee issued by Dean Richmond
| the chairman, says:
This call, which has gone out to all of the State
| Committee, summoning them at once, shows that
| the leaders of the Douglas Committee are going to
take action at once, and that, too, without waiting
as long the Breckenridge Committee did before
they called their committee. What will be the pre-
else result of the deliberation of this committee
| time alone can tell, but Mr.. Richmond declares
himself unequivOcaly in favor of some amicable
| rangement. His concession will not probably be
enough to satisfy the Brecknridge politicians, but
his friends believe that it will be sufficient to meet
the wishes of the rank and file of the party. With
this shall have to await the official action of the
committee on Friday
1t is said that Douglas counsels against all fusion
and declares that if they unite in this State it will
defeat him in his own. No fusion is his cry and
that increasingly. 1t is the same to every person
who calls upon him.
Richmond and two or three other members of
the Douglas Committee have been busy the entire
evening consulting their friends in New York and
those sOournng here in regard to the proposed fI-
sion. large number have waited upon the Dem
ocratic doctor and given him their views as to the
condition OF the patient, and as to the kind OF
treatment necessary for speedy recovery. Nearly
all have advised yielding something to the Breck-
inrdgers, some advising the acceptance of the ul-
timatum of Green's Committee, others to only d.
vide the State ticket and still another class to put
five six leading Breckenridge names on the cleo
toral ticket and leave the State ticket untouched.
From the feeling manifested last evening among
the politicians that gathered around the St.Nicholas
and Fifth Avenue Hotels, it was plainly to be seen
that they would not yield ten men, Green Tucker
associates fear nf
Ositon being accepted Richmond and associates do
not consider them worth that price.

full numbers, Mr.. Colt, of Pittsiied, being promi
nent representative from the western portion of the

The absolute declination of Hon. John ii. Cliff
ford, of the office of Governor, which came to the
State Committee, has upset all feelings with re-
gard to that position. The State Committe has no
other man.

speeches were made by the President and by Otis
Kimball and Samuel II. Gookin. The main import
was for fusion, but fusion is not entirely popular

TEE MoRMoNs have no present intention of leav-
ing Salt Lake Valley. They are busy erecting in
every settlement substantial buildings for council
houses, court houses, meeting houses and school
houses. Grist and saw mills. nail factories, foun-
dries, and every kind of machine shop, are becom-
ing common. A few miles frOmthe city, Brigham
is laying out nursery, with a million trees, which
he calculates will in ten years turn him in many
dollars. The building of the Great Temple has re-
commenced, and every spare team is hauling the
massive rock from Cotton road into the city. OF
the magnitude of this edifce readers will
form some notion from the fact that the foundation
alone cost sixty thousand dollars, and contract
has recently been concluded for the hauling of the
rock for the basement story, distance of tie n
miles for eighty thousand dollars. The build
ing is to cover an area of 81, $50 feet-Ner0ark
