We were gratified to sfeas a motto for the ur '2? n? w publ icationl J us t issu ed in Logan, these words, "The' highest possible liberty to man and woman." This promises well, and we have no doubt the paper will be an efficient help in all the various directions for the benefit and elevation of all who peruse Its i areso anxious about the people of this little Territory, felt something must be done. They were not willing to let well enough alone, when all was peace and quiet, and allow the men who had filled the several offices creditably and efficiently continue until an election could be held ac cording to the provisions already made by the stat ntes of Utah," andt?o .. com municafe d wi th Congress Upon the subject and stirred that hon-- o rable body up to do something befcre the ad. point men, to fill such cilice., as would be, as tbey considered, made vacant, by failure to hold the Augu9t election. "However in limiting the tenurocf office, of men so appointed, to eight raon ths; It appea rs great-mista- kr ha3 been made, by those: who should b thoroughly acquainted with the laws of election in this Territory, 89 no provis ion i made for auy other regular election except in August, save tho election for delegate to .Congress in November. Without elaborating ur on, the matter of the term of these appointees cf Governor Murray, ono may perhaps be permitted to give an opinion concerning the authority invested in Gov. Murray to act in this moit important, ono might say vital matter. This supremacy given to cne man over one hundred and fifty thousand peorle, Is utterly at variance with all the true principles of a free government. A free Republic, according to tho definitions given by the greatest statesmen that America could ever haast, Ha government "b the people for tho -- people.' Gov. Murray may be cansiderato and act with great wisdom and prudence but what dees he know of the people, their needs and wishes over "Whom he has been authorized to exercisa such wonderful power. Tho Governor has a splendid opportunity now to manifest that nobility of character that men in high positions should p03. sess, or at least cultivate, in order to gain the love and admiration of the people; although he may esteem the regard" of this people, their pra.t ers and blesvngs of little value, yet they m?ght be a richer mloe cf genuine wealth than all he will ever receive from the public treasury -of the naticn. v x It would be well for those who are so exercised -over Utah affairs to stop and consider, before they enter the IIst3 ia a political campaign against the people who wrested these desert lands from barrenness and made them teem wi th plenty for mn and beast. -- .
