Show now ana then A palpable and manifest change has bas already place within tho past six months in the public sentiment in this territory both in relation to the result of the war for the union which is to us firt first and foremost in importance and as to the probable speedy development of the immense mining interests which nrc ire every day being prospected assayed and brought into specific and tangible form before the community we hall bail both these omens ofa of a regenerated utah with pleasure and trust hit the time has gone by forever when men can stand up lip before any people in the basin of ilia great salt lake lahe and talk so near the verge of as it was tit at one time quite the fashion to do but while we are arc mainly rejoiced in this fact which may possibly be to a large extent accounted for by the evident success and continued advance of our victorious soldiers at the east our efforts are arc encouraged and our confidence in their success enhanced by the biily increasing hold that the richness of the mines already discovered and the certainty of a constantly increasing discovery of a body of vast metallic and other mineral wealth seems to have talen taken on the minds not of outsiders and strangers to the territory merely but of the actual population now here bar both facts speak well for the good sense and pound found judgment of the people who are not in any way to be held responsible for the vagaries of those who have hitherto held themselves as their leaders and for whose wild theorizing harangues semi dis loyal utterances and about the impossibility of working mines in utah we warn the world outside that thy people are not to be deemed answerable the remark is frequently made in our hearing bearing im that utah now is very dif different from what it was a year two or three years ago ago and this not merely by the ilia so called gentile population but by br persons who anil fally believe in the mormon faith of all ranks and condi conditions tiong in society but bat who have the sense to see the he actual condition of things to know when their condition as to comforts cas has been ameliorated and the tact to tale take aa advantage vantage of the opportunity which the present emergent state of the territory now offers them persons who in short uc their own eyes instead of thoo thoe of another and who deem their own brain and judgment a better criterion for forming a conclusion than those of other folks whose interests are arc in cheet appo opposition ution to their own that our paper iris ins accelerated to say the least this his result is not a question of doubt that it is succeeding in the ilia regeneration of affairs in utah tile the facts before us render self evident and it is as it ought to be a source of self keif gratification that in the pursuit of our duty here N we a have been able to contribute to a result so fraught with benefits not merely to tile the Teni tory alone but of tho the united states of which it forms an integral part |
