welt as to citizens states everli everywhere here to see se that hat there is is no portion of our territory in ill which a peaceful I 1 settler may nol not till his fields field arid and reap his harvests in in peace arid and confidence we have given the civil law a fair or rather a grossly unfair trial in utah we have haie not only tried it it long enough but too conr long it has failed to accomplish its objects which are protection of I 1 life ife and property and the punishment arid and pr prevention of crime the re remedy medy in such cases and let us add the constitutional remedy is is direct martial law when the courts and police become powerless it is tile the july duty of f every government to try what the army anny can do to supply their place and prepare the way for the restoration of legal authority auth onty there has never been a clearer case made out for the proclamation of martial law than the mormons cormons have made out for us in in utah and we do most ear car nestly urge upon to follow the advice of the secretary of the interior and proclaim it it put the army in ill possession of the country bring home hoino ill the e in suited judges the u useless
