Governor of Utah.
The Washington Ciao,/ says:
believe we are not too premature in an
nouncing that Col. CummiNo, of Mis
souri, has been appointed Governor of
Utah, and that he intethis to remove
his family thither with the view of
nu%kiug that Territory his permanent
residence. Col. Comiwto is a gentle
men of tried official integrity, and of
large experience in frontier life. Pos..
sessing great personal courage, of a
conciliatory nature, yet prompt and en
ergetic in the discharge of duty, he will
bring to the important responsibilities
which he has assumed. the most essen
tial qualities for success in the delicate,
and even dangerous 2/1.6,1 au which has
been confided to him. The difficulties
to he encountered in Utah are more
numerous and complicated than is now
generally supposed.' Among them may
be incidentally mentioned that IlaionA
Youxo claims a title to all the lands in
the Territory, and has never recognis
ed the United States surveys. None of
his followers have purchased lands in
accordance with our taws. Hence, one
of the delicate duties of the federal
courts of that Territory will be toestab
lish and maintain the rights of those
who may hereafter purchase in accor
dance with our laws. Not an individ
ual in ail Utah lira holds a foot of land
the title of which is derived from the
United States, and it follows, under this
strange condition of tbingS, that all
parts of Obe Territory are at the pros.

B. litED,ln Philadelphia, - a few days

United States, lion. J. S. BLAcs., from
which we quote tile paragraph below:
Judge Black is one of the most powerful
writers of the day, a true gentleman and
pare patriot. He says of Mr.-Reed :
t' lie is faithful to the C.onstituti4n, fur
he never persecuted any body for Ai* re
fa4th, nor joined himself by as
inipinme oath to any band of birits ; and
his eloquent voice has been raised at all
times against the efforts of those who
would errits discord and hatred hitiree.g
the States, upon subject whit•li the Con
stitution gives to each State the right
of settling, for itself."
Mr. hiilloch preached in Rock
land, Me., on Sunday last. The crowd

! evidence of the confidence with which
the citizens regitrd Mr. K.—Exchange.

pulpit in the place of Mr. lialloch, the
crowd, we suspect, would hare been
still larger.
