end OF this material prosperity in Utah. They Aay
that the surrounding Territories are beginning to

Brigham fouugA rel1uons TO tho United States
differ from those Of the Cheyenne1 only In respect
Of the Yueans Of restssanco which hn cmployA-
a1Im that there u no such thing - loyalty to tho
United States among the Mormon people. The
only allegiance they know Il to brigham Young.
and Brigham Foung holds no allegiance 70 any-
body OF anything terreatftal. When the war
broke out one 1aoiety Of the Pscino coast ynlun-
teela were sent to bold the Indians In check and
the other to keep the Mormons down. Three
companies Of United States soldiers are still cn.
camped within Cannon range Of Brighatn.a "Llon
House, md the GENTLE population Of Salt Lake
City sincerely te,leye that II these
werc Withdrawn lhe5 would hare
to leave the Territory within twenty
tour hour, and abandon their property to Brig
ham Young. All Of ur1ghAM's etlofts arp now
directed to keeping the GentlIcs out Of Utah. 1t
,sfor this rcnson that he Is getting the !ard titles
into hs oNn hnndA. He Ia too wise to suppose
that the courts Of tho United States Will recognIxe
bis owneEuh!r Of there lands a anything but
trust Ills Alm Il to get the tltles in such shape
that there Will 10 neither buyers nor selIerz Of
Mormon farms except such a. he authorizes. The
death Of a Mormon farmer will not put up any
land ut auctiont because the t1tle will be ID D1iE-
hAm Young. DtscantCnt, tho ,lcsirC for chnngc,
