we got our boat in water and worked our
way west and sonthWest and continued to
work at every opportunity to westward in
hope of reaching the Labrador coast and
getting temporary relief. We were picked

Mr.. Blaine and Brigham Young.

The following account of an interview be.
tween Mr.. Blaine and Brigham Young ap.
pears in the Geographic dispatches to the
evening papers.
Brigham wanted to impress the Speaker
with the idea that Congress had no right
whatever to interfere with the local affairs of
the government of the Territory; that any
attempt at interference twas break of faith,
and said they should be left just as the organ
ic laws left them, and have full power to do
all legislation without let or hindrance. The
Speaker remarked to Brigham that the Presi-
Dental contest of 1861, was fought on the
distant issue of the right of Congress to con-
troll the domestic institutions of the Terrific
ries, and that Mr.. Lincoln was chosen on that
ground.
The Congress had exercised its power by
abolishing the relation of master and slave,
and that its authsrtty was plenary in the
premises, and the extent of its exercise,
matter of discretion that the organic act of
Utah was, by its terms subject to amendment,
alteration, repeal, and that no enactment of
the ter ;itorial legislature was of the slightest
validity of Congress chooses to annal it.
Brigham said, ''If that is your decision,
our interests and rights demand that we be
admitted as State, we have requisite pop
ulation, resources, and wealth."
sit may be true, Mr.. Young" the Speaker
replied 'that you have the necessary popu-
lation and wealth, but speaking to you with
the frankness with which should speak were
I on the floor of Congress, must say that
Utah can never be admitted as State so long
as the institution of polygamy is upheld and
practiced by the Norman church, and as l
understand by the great mass of your peo-
pie.
This remark seemed to nettle Brigham con-
siderably, but he kdpt his TEMPER and pro-
ceeded to a long dissertation relative to the
purity of the morals Of Eastern cities in COM
parison with the marals of Utah, contending
that the superiority was on the side of the
latter.
''But, Mr.. Young" rejoined the Speaker.
''what you denounce in the East is done
against the law, clandestinely, and is admit
ted to be wrong, even by those who indulge
in it. What you do in Utah is not only done
by sanction of the law, but it has the APPROX
al and command Of the church.
