If v human beings can live oil such meagre litre—Low con tinue existence in such a famine of topics and] on such a short allow ant eof sense— is a great question, if philosophy c uid only v arch it out.

They have Sieen often a.l vised to obediince, and these fii<n; iy counsels have been ar.-wered with dS ance. Officers cf t!i f -deral government have been driven from the Territory for no offence but ari iTbrt to do their sworn duly. Others have previ nfeii'lTeim going lis re by threats ofasc -ii-. il 1. Judges have been violently interrupted in the performance of their func tions, and lhe records of the courts have been seized and eitherd droved or conceal d. Many otfier acts of unlawful violence have been open -4y cl <!med b\ lite leading inhabitants, with at least the sii-'Ht acquiescence of nearly a!! the oth: rs. 'i'lreir hostility to the lawful g vern meiit . f the country has at length become so violet.l that i; < officers be.i r ing a commosi m from the chief magistrate flbe Union can en ter the ferrit-.-ry or remain there with safety ; and all the officers recently appointed have been unable to go to Salt Lake or anyw here else in UrTi Uyond the immediate power of the army. Indv* j, lull is believed to be the condition to whitp" st ying.r.->4.ste!ii id' U-rrqi ism lias brought tiie i .i.obl n.-gi m. t'uit no one among them could express an o; in ion favorable to this . v.-i umetit, or even jiiopose to obey its laws, without exposing his life and property to per il. Aft -! carefully considering this state of affairs and maturely weighing the obligation I was oi. IT to . >v ti. • laws faithfully executed, it seem ed to me liHit a . i proper that I should make such u>e of toe iiiiidarv force af rr.y disposal as might be necessary t > protect the federal officers io u dr.g inl • the 'U i.'tory of Utah, and ia per forti.ing thrir duties after arriving there. I acc .rdingi v ord-. n. i ;. d. latchment of the army to march for the City of Salt Lake, or within reach of that place, and to act in case of need at a posse for the enforcement of tiie laws. But, ia the m usilnn tiie hatred of that misguided p aple fir the juM and legal autiioiity of the government had become so intense that they : -solved t > measure their military strength with that of the Union. Tii- y have organized an arin-d force far from contemptible in point of numbers, and trained it, it not with skill, at least with gr.assidtii! and perseverance. While the traoj.-s of the United Stales were on their march, a train of baggage wagons, which hap pened to be unorot* cted, was attacked and de •-tr.ived bv a i oi ti 'i t.f the M .r:non forces, a;;d the provisions and Mores with which the train was laden were wantonly burnt. In short, their present atlitu : one oi'decided and unreser ved enmity to the' United States and to all their local ci:k: no Tl eir determination to oppose •> nut bo: :t \ of the cuvertimenl by military : rcehasnut only been expressed in words', but manifested in overt acts of the most unequivo cal character. i\ i ow-citiz-ns of i lah, this is rebelli ui a cuinst tiie Govemmcnt to which you owe alle giancv. It is 1 - wing war against tiie L tided ■s. ales, and involves in it the guilt of treason. . Ferris! nice in it will bring you to condign, punishment, to ruin, and t) shame; f>r it U nn-.e mat!nv.:s to • : : "thai, with your limi •i J r ,;urce . v.ii i ;U succssfully resist the] tlrre of this great and powerful nation. II yon have calculated up :i the forbearance' of the United States—if you have permitted; yourselves to s' ■ use tnat tins Onvemnient will fail to put forth its strength ami bring you to submission—t-you have fallen into a grave; mistake. You have settled upon territory which | lies geographically in the heart of the I nion. Tiie land you live upon was purchased by the : United Stats and paid i -r out of their treasury. | The proprietory right"and title to it is in them, i and u>t in vou. I tail is bounded on every j side by States and Territmies whose people are ' true to the Union. It is absurd to believe that . I lie v will or can permit you to erect in their i very midst a G eminent of your own, not only ] independent of the autiioiity which they all j acknowleiig •, but hostile to them and their in-j [crests. ' . Do nil deceive yourselves nor try to mislead ; others bv nr pug .ting the idea thai in is is a ciu- j ei tie against - our religion, lhe Constitution : and laws of this country can take no notice of j your creed, whether it be line or false. 1 bat is j it question between your God and yourselves, in i which I disclaim all right to interfere. If you 3bey the laws, keep the peace and respect the just" rights of others', you w ill b- perfectly se cure, and may live on in your present faith oi change it for another at your pleasure. Every i intelligent man among you knows very well . thai this government has never, directly or in- , directly, sought to molest you in you* worship, to control you in your ecclesiastical affairs, or even to influence you in your religious opin ions. I his rebellion is not merely a violation of your legal duty; it is without just cause, without reason, without excuse. You never made a complaint that was not listened to with patience, j You never exhibited a real grievance that was i not redre.-sed as promptly as it could be. The j laws and regulations enacted for your govern j ment by Congress, have been equal and ju-.t, and their enforcement was manifestly necessary for your own welfare and happiness. You have never askeo their repeal. They are sim ilar in every material respect to the laws which have been passed tor the other Territories of the Union, and which everywhere else (with no particular exception) have been cheerfully obeyed. No people ever lived who were freer from unnecessary legal restraint than you. Hu man wisdom never devised a political system which be towvd more hi .• ;s or imposed lighter burdens than the government of tiie U nited States in its operations upon the Territo ries. But being a m i >n to save the effusion of blood, and to avoid the indiscriminate punishment of a whole people fur crimes ot which it is not pro' able that all are equally guilty, I offer now ja full and free pardon to all vvlio will submit | themselves to the authority of the federal gov i eminent. If you refuse to accept it, let the consequences fall upon your own heads. But 1 conjure vou to pause deliberately an i reflect well be fire you ivj-ct this tender of peace and ■ good will. Now, therefore, I, James Buchanan, Presi ; dent of the United States, have thought proper ; to issue this, my proclamation, enjoining upon all public officers in tiie Territory ot Utah, to b diligent an>! faithful, to the full extent of their power, in the ex cut ion of the laws: command ing all citizens .;f the United States in said Ter - ritorv to aid and a?siat tile officers in the perfor mance cf their duties; offering to the inhabitants jf Utah, who shall submit to the laws, a free j pardon fbr th? seditions an i treasons heretofore !by them committed: warning those who shall '< persist, after notice of this proclamation, in the I present rebellion against the United States, that ! they must expect no furtliei lenity, but look t > : be rigorously dealt with according to their de : serts: and declaring that the military forces now in Utah, and hereafter to be sent there, will not withdrawn until the inhabitants of that 'ter ritory shall manifest a proper sense of the duty ; which they owe to this government, i In testimony v. hereof, 1 have hereunto set ]my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents.

D ■ •■■r, Esq., Governor of the Territory of Kurt sos, Lcco/nvton. SIR : I transmit to you a copy of the act of Congress approved May 4th, ISoS, "for the ad mission ofthe Slate of Kansas into the Union.'' Your duties under this act are of the most deli cate and iu>(K>rtant character, but they are clearly and distinctly defined by the act itself. (Afier stating the main provisions of the act it proceeds:) I rider the second section of the act, yourself the District Attorney, the Secretary of the Ter ritory, the President" of the Council, and the Spea'mr >f the House of Representatives, are i constituted a Hoard of' -ommissioners to conduct j this important election. The President has en i fir.- Co.;.'nice that so fir as in yo'i lies, the c i lection will oe fairly and properly conducted. "i our j :vv -rs ami your duties are sufficiently | P ;llt ! out by the Act, ar.d by your previous ! instructions. It is greatly to be desired that ; tr.- • ( out issione.s sho'i!/ act in concert in all Ike proceedings. The President above „// things desires, that there should be a fair ex pression of the popular iri!l on this important '/uesf'.on: and that any person who may ad tempt to commit I ■ j muds punishable under the .del, , mnj be pro . cde l with the utmost rigor of the lam. It is to V Imped tliat the people of Kan sas, reimv'' 1 1, nn ail outside influences, may be left to decide the question for themselves, whether they will immediately come into the Union under the provisions of the Act, or will remain in a Territorial condition until their population is equal to the number required for a Representative to Congress. fn< ;>ed her, .villi you will receive four cop ies of the act referred to. one of which you will send to each of the Commissioners named in the act, in ord-r that I hey may be properly inform ed of their designations. At the same lime, you ari.'i provide for an early meeting of the Commissioners, so that Hie , election required by the act may take place without unnecessary delay, and that all suitable arrangements may be made for this purpose.— The President earnestly hopes that these ar j rangements may be successful in securing a free and fair election, and tiiat at the present impor- I tout crisis, the peace o! the Territory may not | be interi uptml. | The act for the admission of Kansas ought to i be extensively circulated among the people, be cause the question to he decided by them is one of vast importance, and may involve the welfare and prosperity of their tine Territory for a long period of years. For this reason, whilst the act very propel ly prescribes that the day of election shall he at as early a period alter the proclama tion as is consistent with the notice thereof to the people, the intervening period ought to be 1 sufli, i -ntly long to enable them to thoroughly tin ' island the question in ail its bearings and con.- vpjences. I shall have ten thousand copies <T the act print-,| in this city, and foi warded to you for immediate circulation. You will not probably convene the Board un til after the appointment of a new District At jt rm y ! ; the I'eiritury. A nomination for i this purp so will he sent to the Senate on Mon j day next. Shoui I you deem it advisable, you ! are at liberty to publish the whole or any part iof these instructions. The President wishes to I give every assurance to the people of Kansas, ' that he desire.- above all things, that there shall be a fair ex pre.-.ion of the popular will at the : election: and that the result may he to produce j peace and harmony among themselves, and pro | mote their lasting welfare. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. literary ladies were lately witness es-in a trial. One of t!;e;n, upon hearing the usual questions asked, what i> your name ? and ; how old you ? turned to her companion i and said, 'I do dot like to tell my age ; nut tliat I have any o!j ction to its being known, but I don't want it published in all the newspapers. • W !i, taiJ the witty Mr. S., 4 1 will tell you how you can avoid it. You have lu-ard the ob jection to ail hearsay evidence: tell them you i don't remember when you were Lorn, and all ; y n wof it is by hearsay.' The fuse took and the qnestion was not pressed. r;y-"E!iza, my child," said a very prudish old maid to her pretty niece, who would curl I t r hair in beautiful ling'-ts, "if the Creator had intended your hair to be curled, he would have done it himself."
