(Jinn sys the Territory. Brigham Young
was appo it the first Governor on the 20th Sep
tember,.lB6o, and bas held the office ever Mine.
Whilst Governor Young has boon both Governor
and superintendent of Indian affairs throughout
this period, be hira beim at t h e same tiro the head
Of the church called the Latter-Day-Saints, and
professes to govern its members and dispose of
their property by direct inspiration and authority
from the Almighty: Isis over bas boon, there
fore, absolute over both7Cliureb and State.
. The people of Utah, almost exclusively, belong
to. tits, - church, and• believing with' a fanatical
spirit that bets Governor of the Territory by di
vine appointment, they oboy his commands as if
these were direct. revelations from Heaven. If,
therefore, be chooses that his Government shall
come into collision with the Government of the
Uhitird States, the members of the Mormon church
will yield implicit obedience to his will. Unfor
tunately, existing factsilieve but little doubt that
such is his determination. Without entering up
ou'it minute history ofsteCtirrences, it is Sufficient
te 'say that.all the casein - Ira the United States,
judicial.andnxectitii.e with the single exception
ollikilit4ian 11444; Gave funnd. it necessary for
tie it Awn personal Safety to withdraw from the
there no longer remains any Gov
ernment in Utah, but the despution of Brigham
Young. This being the condition of affairs in the
Territory, I could not mistake the path of duty.
As Chief Executive Magistrate, I was bound to
'restore thesupromacy of the Constitution and laws
within its limits. In order to effect this purpose,
I appointed a new Governor and other federal of
ficers for . Utah, and sent with them a military
force for their protection, and to aid as a posse
rotations, in ease of need, in the execution of
the laws.
With the religions opinions of the Mormons, as
long as they ramOned mere opinions, however de
plorable in themselves, and revolting to the mor
al and religions sentiinents of all Christendom
had no right to interfere. Actions alone, when in
violation of the Constitution and laws o f Uni
ted 1%116, become the legitimate subjects for the
jurisdiction of the civil magistrate. My instrue
tions to Gov. Cumming have therefore been fram
ed in strict accordance with there principles. At
their date, a hope was indulged that no necessity
might exist for employing the military in restor
ing and 'maintaining the authority of the law ;
but this hope bestow vanished. .
Gov. Young has, by proclamation, Icclared his
determination to maintain his power by force, and
has already 'committed acts of hostility against
the United States. Unless he should retrace his
steris the Territory of Utah will be in a state of
open rebellion. .He has committed these acts of
hostility, notwithstanding Major Van Vliet, an
officer of the army, sent to Ctah by the Command.
jog General to purchase provisions for the troops,
bud given him the strongest assurances of the
peaceful Intentions of the Government, and that
the troops would only be employed as aposse OPLI •
itatua. when ealled on by the civil authority to aid
in the execution of. the laws. •
There. is reason to believe that Goy. Young has
lung contemplated this result. He know, that the
continuance of bin despotic power depends upon
the exclusion of all settlers from the Territory ex
cept those who will acknewleke his divine mis
sion and implicitly obey his will; and that an en
lightened public opinion there would soon pros
trate institutions at war with the laws both of
God and man. He bas, therefore, for several
years; in ofler to maintain his independence, been
industriously employed in collecting and fabricat
ing arms andmenitions of war, and in disciplin
ing the Mormons for military service. As super
intendent of Indian affairs, he has bad an oppor
tunity of tampering with the Indian tribes and
exciting their hostile feelings against the United

Indian agents. lie lies laid in a store of provi

as he Informed Major Van Vika, he will comical
"end then take to the mountains, and bid defiance
to all the powers, of the Government."
A great part of all this may be idle boasting ;
but yet no wise Government will lightly estimate
the efforts which may be inspired by such piston -
sled fanaticism as exists among tho Mormons in
Utah. This is the first rebellion which has ex
isted in our Territories; and humanity itself re
quires that we should pet it down in such a man
ner that it shall be the last. To trifle with it
would be to encourage it, and to render it formi
dable. Wo ought to go there with such an im
posing force as to coo vince these deluded people
that resistance would be vain♦ and thus spare the
effusion of blood. We can in this manner beet
convince them that we aro their friends, not their
enemies. In order to accomplish this object It
will be necessary, according to the estimate of the
War Department, to raise four additional regi
ment,; and this I earnestly recommend to Con
gress. At the present moment of depression in
the revenues of the country I ant sorry to be oblig
ed to recommend such a moasiuw; but I feel con
fident of the support of Congress, cost what it may,
in eupßressing the insurrection and in restoring
and maintaining the sovereignty of the Constitu
tion and laws over the Territory of Utah.
I recommend to Congress the establishment of
a territorial government over Arizona, incorpo

they may deem expedient. f need acireely ad

property of our citizens inhabiting Arizona, and
these are now withoet efficient protection. Their
present number is already eonsidentble, and is
rapidly increasing, notwithstanding the disadvan

posed Territory is believed to bo rich in mineral
and agricultural resources, especially In sliver and
copper. The malls of the United States to Cali

whole extent, and this route if known to be the
nearest, and believed to be the best, to the Pacific.
Long experience has deeply convinced rue that
a strict construction of the powers granted to
Congress is the only true as well as the only ale
theory of the Constitution. Whilst this principle
shall guide my public conduct, I consider it clear
that under the wer.inaking power Congress may
appropriate money fur the construction of a milt
tary.rond through the territories of the United
States, when this is absolutely necessary for the
defence of any of the States against foreign inva
sion. The Constitution has conferred upon Con
gress pOwer to "declare war," "to raise and sup
port armies," "to provide end maintain a navy,"
and to call forth a militia to-orepol invasions."—
These high sovereign powers necessarily involve
important and responsible public duties, and
among them there is none so sacred and so in
pen:Live as that of preserving our soil from the
invasion of a foreign enemy. The Constitution
has, therefore, left nothing on this ,point to con
struction, but expressly requires that "the United-
States shall protect each of them [the States,)
against invasion." Now, if a military road over
our own territories bo indispensably necessary to
enable us to meet and repel the invader, it fol

possess the power, but it is our imperative duty
to construct such a rood. It would be an,absur

power to make and conduct war, nod' at tho same
