BRIGHAM YOUNG ON A RAMPAGE.
Brigham Young, in a recent speech
at Salt Lake City, said :" If they
undertook to try him in Gentle
| Court, he would see the Govern
ment in hell first, and was ready to
! fight the Government the rub. He
had soldiers, and rifles, and pistols,
and ammunition, and plenty of it,
and cannon, too--and would use
them. He was on it. The Cover
nor of the Territory was useless and
could do nothing. He was the real
Governor of this people, and by the
power of the Most High he would
he forever and ever. If the Gen
tiles didn't like this, they could leave
and go to hell"
