I brigham Young, IN his conversation viii
Judge Trumbull on Saturday last, reporter
by special despatch to this paper
made two points pretty clear. viz : That tht
Mounons will not obey the law Of Congress,
against, polygamy; and that, If any Of til.
officers Of the Omitted Suites make them
selvea specially obnoxious to them, they
will attempt, in what they conceive to be {
"qujet md orderly manner" to e1pel them
from the Te11itory.'
There were, Mt least, one, and probably
two lnWs passed By Congress In 1862, aimei
1 to counteract Mormouism, but which hare
thus far remnined wholly a dead letter,
owing to the want OF sufficient Gentle
community in Utah 10 enforce them. Tht
| one was the law subjecting to $500 fine ani
| five years imprisonment "Erery person
having husband or wife living, who shal
marry any other person, whether married
or single, in Territory OF the United
States" Tho other was law forfcitiug tc

peated On larger scale, nc Il JUST Inc MN
TO do it. Hewould Ike nothing better than
that President Grant should send an army
Of 10000 soldiers into Utah Tor the Nor
mons to fced. He would like them much
better Than an immigration Of traders,
mlners and GENTLE farmers to undermine
the faith OF the Mormons md detnora.lze
their fidelity to the Prophet. Whoever
1aiscs the cry, therefore, of "wipiug out
the Mormons by war, plays directly into
Brieham,s hands in q dozen wavs. He
gives Mormonism the appearance of being
persecuted, and that, to sect, is ike the
ea13y dess and spring rains to vegetation.
He intimidates md prevents Gentle iumi-
eration, which is the OILY thing that
can change the religion Of Utah.

not proceed to murder and e1termiuate n
ncaccful agricultural nonuIation. Finding
no armed force opposing it, il can do no
more than repeat the farce we have already
