My: Dear Sir :—Asl have 'concluded to r
Sign the office Of Justice of tbe Supreme OW
of the Territory of Utah, which posit or 4 as 7:
cepted tit A. D. 1854, under the admitii6ttt
Lion of President' Pierce, 1 deem it due' to
the public to give some of the reasons why I
dekso, In'the first pluce, Brigham Young Ethe
' Governor of Utah Territory. is the •icknowl.
edged bead of the "Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Aaitis," commonly called "Mor
ttiOnS," and "a.s'stielt head 'the Mormons look
to hint, and to bon alone, for the law by which
• they are to lye gevemed.oherefbre do heir Of
'Congress is by , them considered binding in j
• SeCoffdly.-1 knOw that there is a fiecretoatb
• boind ommizatiOn amongail the male: meet
hers of the: Cluireb, to •ricknowled,gej up :law
sire the /air of the Holy Priefitbood,"which '
-•:comes to the people through Brigham Young,
• direct from God, he, Young,- being the vice.
. *rent of God and prophetic successor,rifdo
sepli Smith, who was the,founderof this blind
and. treasonable Organization.
_ Thirdly. lam fully aware that there is a
set of Men set apart by special order of. the
• church to_ take both the lives and property of
persons Who may question the finth,. ? rity of
, .1 he church, (the names of Whoni I will prompt.
• ly make known at a future time.)
Fourthly. That the records, papers &c.,
of
destroyed the Supreme Court, have. beenestroyed by
order of the chuozii, with direct knowledge
land approbation of Governor B. Young; and
tthc federal officers grossly insulted for presu
tning to raise a single question about tiic
treasonable act.
Fifthly. That the federal - ufßoers of the ter
ritory' are constantly insulted, harrahsed and
.lannoyed by the Mormons, and fur those in.;
salts there is no redress. • •
Sixthly, That the federal 'aim's. are daily
•compe4led to hear ,the form ,of. the Ainerican
government traduced, the chief executi - ves'of
the nation, both living and dead, slandered
and abused from the masseS ' as well as from
all the leading. members of the'church, in the'
most vulgar loathsome find wieked manner
that the evil , passions. of man can, pOssibly
conceive.
Again., That after Moroni, Green had been
convicted in the District Court before my col-
longue, Judge Kinney, of an assault With . in
tent to commit murder, and afterwards, on
appeal to the Supreme Court, the judgment
being affirmed, and , the said:Green sentenced
to the penitentiary, Brigham Young gave a
fell afa 011 to the said Green be fore he reached
the yenitentiary ; also, that the said Govern
-or Young , pardoned a- man by the name tot
lßaker, who had heen tried and sentenced to
• ten' years' imprisonment in the penitentiary
: for - the murder of _a climb boy by the, name
'of White House, the proof shOwing one of the
most aggcavatesi cases of murder that 1. ever
. knew. being tried; and to insult the Court
..and government officers, this man Young took
his pardoned criminal with him, in proper
person, to Church on the next Sabbath afts..r
his conviction, Baker in the Meantime having
received a full pardon from ''Governor Brig
:. harp Young. These, two men, were Mormons.
Op the other' and, I charge the Mormons,
. and Gov, young in particular; with' impris
oning five or . six young. men, from ,Missouri
and lowa, .who are row in the penitentiary of
Utah, without those men having violated any
criminal law in Anierica, but they'vrera anti.
Mormons; poor, uneducated young men, on
their way to California; but because they ern
%rated from Illinois lowa or. Missouri, and .
passed b Great Salt, Lae City, they were
indicted a Probat Court, and most brit
:tally orni inhumanly dealt With, in addition
to 'being summarily incarcerated in the saint
ty prison or the Territory of Utah. I also
charge Governor Young with constantly inter
tering with the federd'nourts, directing the ,
Grand Jury whom to indict and whom' not;
and, after the Judge's charge to the Grand
Juries as to their duties, that this , menifoung.
invariably has some member of the Grand
Jury advised in advance asto his will in re
lation to.their labors, and that his charge thus
given ia.the\ only charge known ; obeyed, or
received by all the Grand Juries of the LAG
ral courts ctUtah Territory. .
Again, sir,after a careful and mature in
vestigation, have been compelled to i come
to the conclusion, heart-rending and sickening
as it may be; that Capt. John W.. Gunnison
and his party of eight others, were murdered
ly the Indians-in 185:3, under the order, ad
vice, and direction of the Mormons, and that
my illustrious and distinguished predecessor,
Hon. Leonidas Shaver, cane to nis death by
&inking peisonous liquors, given to him un
der the order of the leading Men or the Mor
mon Church, in Great Salt Lake City • that
the.late Secretary of the Territory, A . W.
Babbitt, was murdered on the phiins, by a '
band of Mormon , marauders, under the par
ticular and; special order of Brigham Young,
- Heber C. Kimball and J. M. Grant, and nut
by the Indians, as reported hy the Mormons
themselves; and that they
,were sent from
Salt Lake City for that purpose, and that on
ly ; and as members of the Danite Band, the.y_
Irene bound to do the will of Brigham Young,
as the famd of the Church, orfurfeit their own
• ices,
1
: \ The reasons, with many others that I
thighs which - would he too heart-rending
to insert in this communication, have induced
. me to, resign theoffice of Justice of the Terri
tory of Utah, and again return to my adopt
ed Statev.of Illinois. My reason fur making
ibis communication thus public, is that the
Democratic party, with which . I have always
.; -strictly acted,-is the party now in power and
tberefore is the party that sbOuki now be
• responsible - for the treasonable and disgrace
ful state of affairs that now exists in Utah Ter
ritory. I could, sir, if necewtry, refer to a
cloud of witnesses to attest the reasons I have
• given, and the charges,, bold as they are, a
gainst-those despots who rule a• r ith an iron
hand their hundred thousand souls in Utah,
and theirtwo hundred thousand out of that
notable Territory, but shall not do so for the
- reason that the Jives of such gentlemen as I
sliould designate in Utah and California would
not be sale fora single day
tau conelusiOn, sir, I have to say, that in my
career as Justiee of the Supreme Court of
Utah Territor, I have the' consolation of
knowing that I y did my duty;- that neither
, threats nor intimidations drove tin from - thitt
, ;gab; upon the other hand, I am pained to say
that I accomplished little good' while there;
that the ituditiary , is only treated as a farce.
The only rule of law by whieh the infatuated
followers of this curious:people will be goy
erned is thelew of the church, and that. ext.
anates from Governor Brigham Youn& • and
him alone.
I do believe that if there - were a man put

AHOTHER Point FOR CHIEF JUSTICE TAIET.
—The presiding Justice of theSuOeme Court
of the United Stated; rested his opinion that
negrocts were not. citizens upon thp allegation
that they have never been recognised as such
by the general government, either before or•
since the adoption of the federal &institution.
His attention-is respectfully invited' to the
following extract frOm an act or Congress,
passed in 1803, which received - the -.approval
of President Jefferson and both houses of
Congress, and has been recognised as consti
tutiot.al by all the courts of the.country for
more than fifty years. This clause, it will be
perceived, specially recognises the existence
of colored citizens of the United= States:
" ART. - 1569. No master -of, any vessel,
or other person, shall import, or cause to be
imported, any sesrra; mulatto, or other-parson
of color, not a native, a citizen, or registered
seaman of the United States, or 'a Seaman
tive of. some country beyond the Cape of
Good Hope, into any place of the 'United
States, situated in any state which by law
has prohibited, or shill pinhibit, the impor
tation of such negro, potato, or .other -• per
son of color. (Act of.Congtess, 28th Febru
ary, 1808. Ben. 1, T. F. Gordon's Digest
Edition, 1837, page 458.1. ,
Can any more conclusive evidence 1m de

did recognise the I citizenship or negroes, in

Thus it will be seen 'that Mr. Wilmot rt.,.
ceived the strongest posSible endorsement o
his course from the democrats of Pennsylva
nia, every democratic member of both House
of the Legislature, exempting three, having
roted to sustain him. ' . .
So fre

It is worthy of note, also, that the Legisla
tu're that winter was Whip in both branches;
yet this resolution was introduced hi one
branch by a democrat and urged through in
the other by a democrat now U. S. Senator.
David Wilmot, true to his democracy, has
occupied the same ground ever since ; but
the party which then endorsed him has falsely
deserted the noble stand it then took, aposta
tized (ruin the faith of its founders, and shame
lesslY renounced all the good Which it did in
its better days.
Elopement of a Priest with his Penitent. .
Among, the items of foreign .news by a
.
late arrival is the following:
1 .
One morning last week -every newspaper
office of Paris was visited by a govern
ment Messenger., who, in breathless haste, I
forbade them to print a - word - of the news
which had just arrived from -Meaux. s The
grand vicairt had fled with one of his fair
penitents, Mad'lle Vaequerin by name, and"'
one of the most beautiful girls in the place.
What makes the affair .io terrible just at this
moment is, that this intrigue of the grand
vicaire, which forms one of the accusations
upon which Verger based hiss proofs . of - the
, corruption of the clergy, breaks out just as
Verger and his damning proofs were begirt
nine to be forgot, .The young lady, who has
refaml the mosk.brilliant offers of ina,rriage, -
and who i 4 pmseised of a large f_ rtune -in .
her own right, has, by the advice'of her, par
amour, who is supposed to have been her
lover ever since she firm attended his, oanfes
sional, five years ago, only waited until
_her
coming of age and the transfer of her money
from the hands of her relations into her own,
to take this extraordinary and decided step.
The grand .vicaire is a - tall, handsome man,
of good family. The fugitives have landed
in England—and rumor declares . that the
reverend father has written to his bishop,
announcing his intention-of throwing hisr , e ,
aux ortees, and threatening, on the first sign
of persecution or annoyance ou the .part of
the eteksiastical 'authorities, to issue. 4 pubi
lie confirmation of all the !‘ horrible .mlutn
nies". which were auppressed in Verger's tai,
al.
WUrish Paulk, a citizen of Alabama,
was killed in 1855. by the,collition of two
trains (on one of which he was a passenger)
on the Southwestern railroad in that State.
Subsequently his relatives sued the railroad
company fo; c datnagi* . and a few days ago a
jury gave a verdict against the company for
$20,000. _ -

Extraordinary Trial of Strength
The - Trov Times of the 6th, recounbattlit
singular trial of strength, which took place in
that city on Saturday 'evening between Jos.
Madison, "-the east-iron man," and Proles
sot. Carl, "the strongest man America."
The challenge for a trial Onri•C)ngth, sent by
Carl, having been accepted, it large'asserably
witnessed the -performance.
"Previous to the trial, Prof. Carl gave an
exhibition of magic and ventriloquism, 'per
formed his celehmted.gnitar and drum solos, -
balanced sixteen chairs upon his chin, and
performed other feats calling fur an
. exereise
of strength, which must have wearied him
somewhat. Mr. Madison then appeared—
liehlan anvil weighing two hundrM and four. r
teen pounds upon his breast, while. two men
struck upon it with sledges -„ held an- anvil
upon each knee ; broke a number of stones
with his fist ; bent a bar
.of iron one-fourth ,
of an inch thick by striking it over his arm;
and held an anvil weighing about two hun
dred
-pounds upon each arm, while men struck
upon it i% ith sledges. Prof. Carl then ap
peared, held the anvil upon his breast; bent
the bar of iron "almost double upon his arm ;-
held the anvils neon his arms, &e, for a
longer period than Mr. AladiSon hail done.
Ile then took the large flint stones which luta
been rejected by his rival, and hammered
the' to pieces, signalizing his performance ,
by cracking in two a flag,-stone about large
enough t) serve as a stepping , -block for a
.door. After this, he heldd - 4ne of the .heavy
anvils over his head for forty-one seconds ; 4
lifted- . a sixty-pound weight upon his - little
floger, and swam it :aroinal his heal ; and
held two men on his hair,- while - he whirled I
them about, top-fashiou, until their feet stuck
out at an angle of forty-five derrrees.
"Mr, Madison was then Tilled out by the
audience, luid requested to, give an account
of himself., Ile excused himself in the Mat
ter of the stones, by saying that' his rival
was in constant practice, while he hail not
broken a Stone for a year.. Being urged to I
swing the %veleta about his head, he tieclined
to do it, on the score of inability, and
'ps'ro
lessor Carl had not held the ..anvils on his ;
knee. In short, he virtually- - in:knowledged'
himself a whipPed man." • • •.

WHAT MIGUT 11F. EXPECTED.—The fol
lowing curt and insuiting note was returned
liv•Ctief Justice Taney to the editors of the.
Onal Intelligencer, who had applied to
`him for a copy of his infamous decision in
the Dred Scott case. It is just, what might
have teen expected from such a source:.
"-ChiefJusiice Taney returns his compli
ments to the editors'of, the National Intelli
gencer; and, in reply to their request, begs
to infiorm them that he does not prepare opin
ions for the use of juvenile debating societies
or of political newspapers.; tie would 'add,
that when his opinion is filed it will be pub,

who alone has the right of publishing its de•

" OLD DEMOCRATIC Butts."—The . Berks
county (Pa.)School IZeport- is a curiosity.
We clip the fi)llowing.. •
" In one district not a scholar.in the school
could tell me in what - county he lived, and
when 1 held up nollbrook's five inch globe,
the oceans of which are painted blue, and
asked what it was, a large boy at least seven
teen wears of age; replied, .$ a bird's egg "
" Soon after this I visited another of an up
rorious character. There were several iglants
here, who were trot old enough according. to
law, to be admitted. The teacher said she
had been informed by a director that the pa
rents oflthese babies would pay- her for ta
king care of them, and very artlessly inquired
of me.what she ought to charge."
P.ASSUORE Wit.i.Lutsois CAsE.The,action
for damages brought ttgainst Judge John K.
Kane in the Court of Common Pleas of Del
aware county, was some, time since argued
ulfon demurrer. To the declaration claiming
damages judge Kane put in five special pleas,
setting forth his ofkice,the proceedings which
mowed, and justifying his entire conduct.—
The plaintiff replied de injbria to these pleas,
that the defendant had committed the acts of
his'own will and without cause. -
The . Judge's Counsel demurred
_specially .
to the replication on three pleas, and joined
issue in two of them. The, argument on de
murrer was held in December: - On Satur-.
day Judge Haynes gave notice that he decid
ed against Judge Kane, so that the replication
stands; and the ease will go to trial on . the
. general' issue, and wilt be tried some time
,during the present summer.:

shall ever be given to the world, it will prove
a record-of heroic achievement such- as cat
hardly be paralleled-in the annals-of

'NArtoxfq. Stss.:—A friend who heard a
sermon preached by Rev. Gkmge . Landon
recently, says he referrA to the subject of
national sins something in this way :
Suppose the President does wrong, is that
a national sin ? No ; that is the President's
sin. Suppose Congress passes an iniquitous
law, and the - President approves it, Is that a
national Sin No; that tst he sin of Congress
and the Pre;adcut. But suppose, after such
a law is enacted and sanctioned by the-Pres
ident, the people too sanction and sustain it,
then it becomes a national sin . . , Boinire, my
friends, hOw you give your sanction to wicked
laws, and thus 'help to bring upon our count
try the penalty of national sins.
trgr'A. word in the ear of the. editor of
the Honesdale Herald. Mr Grow did not
have a free passage to Europe in one of the
'Collins Steamers, but paid his fare both ways,
like any other passenger—besides havingvo
ted_in every instance againzt the Collins:PP
'propriations. That -story of the free pass
age" is a coinage of JOhn P, Sanderson's
side-door' Know Nothing organ, the Phila
delphia Dia/ Arms, which is evidentlyunder
.pay to coin lies to be re - tailed by the ntore
shameless of the Buchanan country - .ne
pers.
The Slave-breeders' organ in Mont
ri;se seems to have lost •its hattied of Know'
Nothingism; and fraternizes with the Fill
more,hranch of that party as cordially' as do
the sham Democracy of New York. The last
issue of that paper contain's aliont a column
and a half from the New York 'Express' and :
the Philadelphia 'Daily NeWs,' two of the vi

Nothing sheets 1.1 tly country. The stuff thus
copied may suit the Democrat's,' readers,

!Use themselves to their Irish-

Mr . A person directly interested - in -die

Slave-hulding Judges of the Supreme Court
