Show A Nest of Irahoks. The Utah ''ring" is tc-iay a nest of traitors to the federal government and the country, buc'h as plotted conspiracy during '50, '07, '5S and '50 under the shadows of tne cjpitol.iu Washington; oLiy that his nest has neither the brains nor the money which that one had. In the Utah "ring" to-day are men who shout "loyalty" and "law abiding citizens," yet curse the government gov-ernment under which they arc permitted per-mitted to plot ; who traduce congress and every officer of government that fails to see as they desire, charging them with being bribed, with venality and corruption; who, when it answers their purpose, lie to and fawn upon members of congress, clerks of departments, depart-ments, and others whom they imagine may ne'p their cause in even the most remote degree ; who are equally the enemies of all tbat respect and sustain good government, and who would sink the country to perdition if by so doing they could accomplish their own base, mercenary and corrupt ends. And when wc speak of them thus, we wish it distinctly understood that they do not Lumber ia Salt Lake City twenty men all told, but make enough noise for an army of ten thousand. Their treason and rebellion have been too long hidden under this clamor, but will be exposed as certainly as was that of thn "ioyal" Albert Sidney Johnson, who came here to f-ubduo "rebel ious Mormons," while merely removing the troops away from the scene of secretary Floyd's machioations and those of bis co conspirators. |
