Still, Abraham Lincoln opposed that
war and lost no opportunity to critieise
the policy or question, the motives of
President Polk. Was he a copperhead?
When he spoke OF the blood being
spilled in the war with Mexico as the
blood of Abel crying to heaven"

Instead of being traitors or copper
heads, men who oppose policies they

patriotic and independent American
citizenship. 1t is not for fawning sy-

ATTACK ON MAJOR YOUNG.
(Sanpete Democrat.)

Major Richard w. Young is the latest
victim of the Tribune's hate, and for
the only reason, apparently. because he
is too big a man and citizen, and is of
the opposite political and religious be-
lief from what the Tribune is. To US
soldier is a soldier, and we have
never inquired into his political or re-
ligious professions before we lifted our

achievements Won on the battlefield.
There is a city election to be held in
Salt Lake this fall, and il would have
been something remarkable if the mig
ger in the wood pile" had not showed
himself just at this time. Major Young
should be induced to accept the nomi-
nation for the mayoralty. just to give
the opposition a lesson of his strength

Because of this transition the name

The latest to incur the dispieasure of
the Tribune is Utah's soldier hero. Ma
jor r. w. Young. OF course, the real
trouble is simply that Major Young is
a Mormon. In it's eagerness to attack
the major, it accepts the statement or
one of the few malcontents among the
volunteers who was put in the guard
house for some misconduct, and a few
others who found military discipline
irksome or felt hurt because of nom

About a week ago the Salt Lake

certain special dispatch published in

correctness of the dispatch the Tribune
would pay the money to any charitable
institution to be named b. The Herald

its proofs, and the Tribune has accept
