Show UTAH AS A STATE. The .movement Lo admit Utah to the Union as a Stale has already taken I practical shape and form in bolh houses of congress. They will provide that from and after the admission of Utah, : marriages shall be governod according j lo the laws of tho United Slates, but, that the marriage relations, as now existing in that Territory, shall not be i disturbed. Mr. Grant's polygamic necessities, I and Utah's golden opportunities, blend ; , into what should be instantly made a harmonious and successful effort lo set-' : tie all vexed questions in Utah by ils : admission as a Stale. Our most earnest ear-nest appeals to the people of Utah: 1 aro renewed, for them to accept with- ' out hesitation, the conditions on which i alone they can hope for either peace or ; prosperity. Lot them, with charac- i (eristic Qrmness and candor, and with 1 no reservations, either as a people or : individuals, seize their opportunity, and do whaL it is wise aud right to do, 1 1 under the circumstances. It is evident that the measures to , , admit Utah which are already prepared ; will pass congress, if Utah will accept ; the conditions which they will pre- ' scribe. To reject them would be ccr- i i tain suicide to that people, while to i accept thorn would be their wire deliv- I erauee from the haled thraldom which they now suffer. Wc per.-oually call ou Rrigham Young, George Q. Cannon, General Well?, George X Smith, and other great and good men in Utah, lo grapple grap-ple with events and ordain their own luture peace, prosperity and great ness. Omaha It rail. |
