Show A STATK. '1'he maioifactory is no-v at active work, seeking to spread the iniprc-M.-n that the (Jennies of l:tah are opposed to the admission of this Territory as a State. It is the same old htury '"how Urribly the Mormons will pro-ecutt; the ien-tiies, ien-tiies, with all the machinery of a State government in their hands" neglecting neglect-ing to tell the world, however, that no people, Gentile or Mormon, could suffer suf-fer more than they do at present under un-der this carpet-bag regime ! The Centiles of Utah, are thoroughly thorough-ly disgusted we know: and wo refer to tho active business men of the Territory Terri-tory to sustain us iu this position, knowing they would prefer Urigham Voung, with all his wives, lor we know ; ho has capacity, and wants, really wants, what wc deire to secure-peace. secure-peace. Those who claim to be ''UciilileH, and the next moment call themselves "liberals," havo been the curse to this, as they would bo to any community, commu-nity, which endured their presence. Resinning by apostatizing 1'rom the Mormons, gathering a crumb of comfort com-fort hero and there from Heating humanity, hu-manity, their eyes arc blind to the progress pro-gress of the hour, and like a rattlesnake rattle-snake in tho August sun, they strike at sound. They know that their political doom is sealed were Utah admitted as a State: they know too, full well, that in a political contest, they arc not oven a corporal's guard, and that when they came in contact with the serried ranks of either of our great veteran columus, they would go down in tho dust. They vainly claim to command and yet they know not how to obey. Wc assert : 1st. That a Stato government is tho only remedy from which we can expect relief. d. That the great majority of Gentiles Gen-tiles in Utah aro in favor of a State. od. That overy legitimate business interest or pursuit languishes under the "bowlings" of a very few men. -tth. That the only class opposed are the officers who would go out of office, some half dii7.cn "rcm.(?ade.s," and a lew barnacles who think they own this country, and because they have lived out of tho world a few years, claim to "know it all." The objection ma-e, that tho Mormons Mor-mons would hold all the offices, is no objection at all: provided, they are qualified for the position. The issues then, would all be State and national! And the political parties, with their watchfulness aud their anxiety to divide the spoils of office, would be a barrier to any ism, bo it Gentile or Mormon: and if the Mormons Mor-mons would unite with the outside business community in tho selection of officers, good government would be secured, and long suffering Utah would at last enjoy an "era of good feeling, dawn of abetter day."
