Show SELECTED. THE LIBERAL PARTY OP UTAH IS TROUBLE. There is trouble amone tbe Uial Gentiles. The so-called L benil party which lately issued its maiiilesio calliin upon the auti-Moriuon elans to ra'ly tc an onslaught upon BrigSauj aod th-Church th-Church this oew-boro organizntion i.-already i.-already threatened with premature ex udcuoo. The elements are uneODge Dial, inharmonious and Dot to hi consolidated. Ladl Fourth of July thi anti church party met a; Corinae t noruinate a delepate to Congress, ant su-ceeded so well that they had twt candidates nominated before tundown. Oue of tbem tinally withdrew and leii a Radical carpet-bagger just from Michigan to go through the farce of ati election. Thai Corinne couveniion waf only a single illustration of an uninterrupted uninter-rupted career of discord. The purtj was, and still is, torn into frapment-bit.erly frapment-bit.erly hatinp each other. Wings, cabala and seltish oombinatioD3 are tht.-order tht.-order of the day. There is no bar money. nothing homogeneous, no unity or orf-'atiizitiun. They agree on noth ine but a rambling, uidiscriruin;itt-abuse uidiscriruin;itt-abuse of the Mormou hierarchy. Tv add to I be general confusion a new-element new-element begius to minele in the bubbling bub-bling brotb. The Nevada immigration immigra-tion of the past twelve months are indifferent in-different to religion did not go there u a religious crusade to annihilate or establish creeds.but to develops mines. These men are proving unmanageable. Che loud call of the newly-organized j Liberal party falls on deaf ears and I wore, ou hostile ears. Tuese miners aut honect, capable courts, judges and juries, and that brings them into antagonistic relations to the preseui judiciary also Gentile. Aud so tbe reat Liberal party which was to luiujortitiize itself by a religions en-iranehUeiuent en-iranehUeiuent of Utah, is rent wide open aud is already ciumbling ou ihe beads of its authors and owners. The "tender loot," carpet-bag element ele-ment are at open wnr with the new isomers from Nevada. The Cor-hiiit Cor-hiiit Juunuil is the orgau of the Federal others and of course Cuds -iiuple sweep for wholesale charges uud leuuuciatious against the Nevadans. It goes so fur now, as to charge that here is a scheme on foot to again con--olidate Utah and Nevada, and thus oriug Utah into the Uniou as a State, ir part of a State. These ei-Nevuda politicians "uo-v engaged in teaching liberality to the petty Jiaslern Liber-jls Liber-jls ol Utah" (touse tbe language ot the Journal) are charged with conspiring con-spiring with the Mormons to bring dbout this result, wbieh, if consummated, consum-mated, of course, would oust the present pres-ent officials. The Journal states the ease in the following extract: "When tbe project was first broached tbe "irrigators" opposed it clamor-oi.sly, clamor-oi.sly, but now they are as still as mice, fhey intimated pretty plainly at the 'Senatorial reception" that if the Ne-vadans Ne-vadans would not countenance tbe at tempt to extend the sovereignty of the United Stales over Utah tbey would be used, dumbly, in any way their new found friends aud allies pleased. There is lit tie doubt, we think, that Brigham ivould stoop to conquer Nevada, be-L-ause, once done, his patrimony would not only be enlarged aud erected iuto a Slate of the Union, but he knows he could control the whole with Lm 5,0u0 votes and the occasional aid of ibe Nauvoo Legion as easily as he now ; controls a part. But bow, in their mm, would the people of Nevada relish being Bwallowed by the Liou of be Latter-days, and digested at leis-ui8 leis-ui8 by bis priesthood? The first step of this unholy coalition coali-tion was to oust the Federal officials of Utah, because they are disinterestedly disinterested-ly and inflexibly opposed to any scheme for the advancement of Mormon theocracy the-ocracy iu the United Stales ; tho next, io break up tbe Liberal party of Utah, just beginning to crystalize into shape, and with a promisiHg field of usefulness, useful-ness, when they would have full scope aud free sailing." The Journal flatters itself that the1 prospects ot" "the coalition" are not as good as tbey were, but it is evidemly iu a humor anything hut cheerful. So the war goea on ; the Mormons look on and chuckle,and '"the uuholy coalition" continues its macbiuatioub. Gov. Woods heads tbe ins and apparently Senator Stewart the outs. Larson Register. |
