AN ARRANGEMENT.

We arraign the republican party of
the nation upon the charge of hostility
to Utah, and the republican party of
Utah as being more faithful to the ma
tional organization than to the terri
tory, In all the long years that party
held power at Washington no effort
was made by any distinguished repub-
lcan in the nation or in congress to
break down the barriers which fenced
Utah out of the union completely. The
republican party here which was called
liberal those days, sat and jibed at
Sll efforts to win statehood for the ter
ritory. The party here even went so
far as to furnish the eastern republi-
cans with information continually to
the effect that the people were in every
way unworthy TOR the dignity of state
hood. The Stenhouses and others of
that kidney who were sent here to spy
out the sins of the people found among
our local republicans fitting cosdjutors
and helps in their cowardly attempts
to belittle, slander aud vIlity the peo-
pie to the end that Utah be kept out OF
the union indefinitely. The ever
growing tide of toleration of the Nor
mons was met by the vilest ISLANDERS
and these were backed up by home
testimony furnished by theparty which
is today, by means equally false and
unfounded, seeking to caiole the Utah
republicans away from their natural
democratic tendencies and the party
which finally won sta tehood for them
and to that party illustrious here only
for its long successful efforts to repress
the territory and to continue that con-
dItion of abiect vassalage which became
30 burdensome and so CALLING. The
means by which they do &c are scarcely
more dignifed and manly than were
the original means to keep her out of
the family of the states from the good
year 1855.
To throw dust in the eyes of the rank
and file of their party, the ignorant, Jun
reasoning men who follow unquestion-
ingly the tarnished and shine'be
draggled banners of the God and NOR
0ffSS r---sJo. si---- ~banselesssy charged
that the bipartisan celebration of the
first was scheme of the democrats to
flch money from them to assist the
democratic campaign. These and
other like malevolent, weak and child
ish schemes unworthy of men are
used shamelesslY and ruthlessly. They
reckon upon the narrowness, ignor-
Rnce and preiudices of their followers
90 accept for gospel the very assertions
which prove their low estimate of the
general intelligence and sense Of fair
ness of the people composing the repub.
lican party OF Utah. This is the de-
liberate policy OF the leaders of that |
party, adopted after calm deliberation |
and due consideration. We submit if |
the good people of Utah will consent to |
again be dominated by party 30 ut !
terly deprived of honest instincts and |
whose only earthly object is to ride
them into power-power to be used
only TO degrade and mislead them.
Thev IAN point to no single thing
they have ever done as party to indi-
cate friendship, or even toler alton for
Utah or h. j people. The history of re-
publican 5n is but an unbroken record
Of hostin y unrelieved by single in
stance generous trust or true sym
pathy. 1t win degrade Utah if she in
dicsteL 5y nsy 5tes this fall that she is
still 80 lost to al manly instincts as
to be v WillinC to lick the hunds in the
future. w1ich nave SO cruelty scourged
her in al -ae years of her past history.
