Show The mektinu of tho anti-Stateitcs last night was fairly attended. Judge llobcrtson was chosen chairman and Mr. Tullidge secrotary. Judge Haydon, Mr. Gould and Dr. Cougar spoke, and Geueral Maxwell went upon the stand just as our reporter left. At the eon-oluuion eon-oluuion of Dr. Cougar's speech, which was tho only one that departed from I the stereotyped Institute harangues, a proposition was made to raise money to sendju.lgo Haydon and Mr. Harri son to Washington to lobby against j tho admission of the State of Deserct. i Fr. Cougar offered to bo one of twenty to pay $100 caoh for this purpose, but1 the other nineteen were wanting, pr. Con gar also said, to the credit of his intelligence, that he couhi live in Utah whether it remained a Territory or became a State, and ho evidently considered con-sidered the progiiostu'itioDs of the two first speakers, as to the terrible consequences that would follow aduiii-tion, aduiii-tion, as nonsense. There was but little lit-tle enthusiasm at any time in the as-,-euibluge, and what there was was smothered by the money proposition. L'r. Congar was nettled that men should bo in sympathy with a sentiment senti-ment that they were uuwiiliug to support sup-port by a contribution in cash; and stid that if they would not contribute coin to give etfeot to their opposition to a State, he hoped PesenH would be Admitted. |
