1,Ho. Eonr IL observe in the .or.Isces.<ra
Chri>ti1n -tdrscaft for April 4, an extract from
m exchange, to the effect that deputation of
the Latter hay Saints lad hcca to Sauroo, on
ted to attend the conference in Au,bay. H.,
April lc,h, 1T should have been 9Th, rot lGth,i
with vieE to claim the priesthood.
Apropos with that item Of ncws, will men-
lion thut there is u report current about this
ci:y, though believe it has not found its :say
men hare had q meeting or meetings to arrange
for inviting +*Joscph" and his mother to make
this citv their permanent future home, and the
headquarters Of the new organ3zatioa. It is
said that one gentleman hes made quite liber-
at offer Of town lots in donation, Is m induce
ment.
cannot say, but consider myself as having re.
liable information that some such measure Is on
foot. Tic object Of this movement is said 10 be
desire to infusc greater spirit and nctisity ntu
business, espccis ly iu real estate.
This, / presume, is tile lease in regard to
some Of those whose nan,es hare been mcn-
siderable real estate, and wonld, no doubt. he
glad to make sale Of it on fair terms. But there
a1c others, who have been Morn,cus in time
past md j. is not possible but they mny hc look
ing furth :r than to sales Of real cstatc- he this,
however, as it rnay, some Of our citizens speak
fayorablJ Of the project whilst there ere others
who are much Opposed tolt md fcar that if such
! measure he accomplished, there may ben rep
eti.ion in Iowa, Of scenes witacssed in Missouri
| and 11linois.
| The movement is Jet in its irc:ricncy, and
! may proceed no further than little city talk;
! but it it should be carried into effect, Judging
! from the past history al tho Mormous, It may be
seriously feared that the result will be NEST dis
ustrous TO our city and county, cveu ifit should
| at first seem to promote business life and pros
| peri.y.
There is now a Mormon population Of over
ono thousands souls in this city, end cansid.

Mormon emigration, after all, for them to gain
sufficient preponderaucc at the bal!ot~bo1-
especially by the aid Of \ little denagogueisu,-
10 take Ill the civil offices out Of the hands o1
dominion Of the "Saints.' As yet, VIC hare nc
fears-thc Lord rulcth over alt, and even the
wrath Of man may be made to praise him.
