No people can better appreciate the day we will celebra'e on Monday than the inhabitants of Utah, for the declaration decla-ration of independence has been to ihcm a palladium of liberty, and the constitution has been their -alegard. AViili enemies at home and abroad '.viiit; to goad them into antagonism to the government of our country, they have clung to the constitution as a sailor does to his sheet anchor, believing it to be an instrument given by revelation: reve-lation: and to day there is no state or territory, from the Atlanric to the Pacific, Pa-cific, from the Great Lakes to Mexico, so tuily loyal, taken as a mass, as the inhabitants of Utah, because of this wry faith. A e have no heed to urge our citizens citi-zens to participate with heartiness in the exercises or: Monday, for their enthusiasm and celebration will be spontaneous and g"nuine. It will be the honest expression cf a peoples veneration, devotion and loyalty to t"ue republican principles, and to the memory of the glorious heroes who ,:avo such a glorious heritage to the world. |
