Salt Lake correspondence of the
New York Times, under date Of the
I'd inst, processes to disclose an in
trigue under which the Mormons are
arranging to abandon Salt Lake and
take possession of New Mexico, and
thus get into the Union under the
bill fori its admission as a State. The
movement has been on foot for con-
siderabA7 time. Several Mormon
elders were secretly dispatched to
New Mexico to reconnoitre the
country and begin the work of pros
elyting among the superstitious ma
tiyes. About the same time the au-
thorities of the church at Salt Lake
gave orders to all young priests to
begin the study of the Spanish Lam
guage, the book of Mormon was
translated into Spanish, and the dis.
ciples went vigorously to work
studying it. Preparations were next
made to gain possession of large
tracts of land in New Mexico, by the
purchase of some of the Spanish
grants outright, and an interest in
others. In case of the passage of
the bill for the admission of New
Mexico as a State several thousand
Mormons will be at once hurried into
the Territory in time to vote. The
bill of admission provides that it
may come into the Union at once
upon the adoption of resolutions
without further action by Congress,
and these people can make a consti-
tuition which will render it almost an
independent sovereignty, under the
plan of keeping out the Gentiles. III
the scheme succeeds it will turn New
Mexico wholly over to the followers
of Brigham Young, and the long,
sought kingdom Of Mormon will be
at last established under the author
ity of the Government Of the United
States.
