Secession is now SO commonplace a subject ss hardy
to attract any attention, but there those among M
who are playing at mimic patriotism, and amuse them
selves with spoutns bombast 1t woud be bard to ssR
who are not goog to be MsorGenerals and Bngsdier.
Generals on JefFs staff. Every nincompOop that ever
thumped "nigger" for the duness of hs bootbiaek-
ing thinks himself thorough master Of the science sf
war and man enough to teach the Winfield Scots and
all such small and insignificant Northern Generalt
something they have yet dreamed Of when once
they got there.
To tell who has gone, who is going, and who has yet
to go, would give to these notoriety they would
be glad Of but in which shall not crafty them. Ii Is
enough they all going and when they get there
hope they may be put to hard work, for more ncOr-
rgble set of loafers than these nigger drivers
are hard to find JEFF. has to depend upon such ma
teria as that which floats away from this place. he mag
well be sick from anxiety.
Mr.. Francis II. WoOtiOn Of Maryland, Secretary Of
the Territory of Utah. and Acting Governor pro tem..
has us immortalized his name by tie publication Of
the folio wing letter. addressed TO Mr.. Lincoln:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, GREAT Salt LAKE CIrr,
To HE Erceleney ABRAHAx LINCOLN Prsdss' Of the Ua'd
SIR: Having been appointed by President Buchanan
Secretary of the Territory of Utah accepted the trust
and have endeavored TO discharge my daty. since
then Gov. Alfred Cumming under leave obtained, has
left for the States. In accordance with the provision
contained in the third section of act Of Congress,
entitled "An Actto establish Territorial Governments
for the Territory Of Utah, am now the acting Gov.
ernor of Utah. The recent course OF Jour Admnistra-
ton makes it inconsistent with my sense Of duty 70
longer hold office under you, and accordingly tender
you my resignation.
As am the only Executive officer In the Territory,
will remain until relieved by my successor, whose
arrival hope will occur speedily.
FRANCIS II. WOOrTON,
Acting Governor Of Utah.
In any place else than Utah, such document would
have excited interest; but beyond filling up Local
column it has none. The Church organ does not
deign to notice it. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Lincoln
will be careful as to his appointments to Utah. The
people here have had enough of bad ones not that they
complain--no not theyi they pleased, immensely
co. and by should not they be The ofceholden and
in general in the Territory failing objects
of their scorn and the butt Of their ndcue. know
nothing that contributes largely TO the influence of
the Mormon leaders as the imbeety and absurd fol-
lies of men who have heretofore prsted about Unce
Sam, and their intimate relationship with Mr.. Bu-
chsnan. That dreaded little finger Of Bngham's is now
no longer looked for but if he only consented to hold
up names, his devoted followers would find fund
of merrment even on Sunday and at the Tabernacle,
and the rdiculed could do nothing but bear it. Let
Mr.. Lincoln give US of bis stamp and charsc-
ter if he gives any; mean men who won't roll in tho
gutter wrigge, spluer and play such fantastic tricks
as these have done. 1t is threatened that Brigham
will be Governor yure soon, by appointment or else
by the will Of the people.
