Show the . l, u. Facta Concerning I lie FriltrnKj', , i My one ho iai-oUu-l.) Salt Lakb, Feb. 12th, ITJ. Editors Herald ; Knowing that the columns of jonr valuaMe paper are alwas pen to the public for the discussion of any wroni: arJ-.ctinc the welfare of ttts comaiuni-'y, comaiuni-'y, an J, alth -urb not a habitual grumbler, I fel myscif caiied upon to remonstrate acin-t any further encroachment en-croachment on that civil liberty which the con-tifmiiD of the United SateB of Americ-i, g'ant.-i to ell her citizens, irrefipetive id creed, color or nationality. nation-ality. Insurrccti'.'ni-.tn and plotters of rebellious strife should be punished with all the severity the law coajmand.-. andiit m upon OiU subject that 1 cravo theu6 ol your t-pace. There io in our couiuiinmy an nrauiiatioo known as the " G. I.. U,' ' or in other words,the"Geotiic Liberating Lniop." The formation of thi-t secret body, waa the coDoption of a villainooe brain, and its premature birth was the result ofad- praved character. Its members are all nip posed to be radical Gentiies. Thoy claim to number num-ber about one thousand live hundred, and bold their Djeeiioi in divers places, two or three times a week. The New York Herald's illeeitimate offspring, off-spring, Tho Kveoing Blow hard, will notify company A, B or C, that "every member will report for duly at the regular reg-ular rcodejvous seveL-ihiriy p.m., sharp." Upon the. assembling of the I members, the captain doi-s his silk hat ! and donning bis fighting cap, roll is ; called by the orderly seargont, and ! the Rev. George L. Webbfoot edifies tiie mob with a lengthy Presbyterian exhoitatioc. The FaLuibao newspaper, news-paper, King of Utah, now enters the "encampjjent," and with that majestic stride, only acquired by a sojourn in Europe as ''correspondent extraordinary," extraordin-ary," and manuf3Cturer-of-news-pIcL-ipotentiary for the great American Straddler, tho New York Bugie, he the man with owlish eyes, takes his scat beside the pompous Saint "Fat," who is always "heeled" with a bottle of his bast, the contents of which are supposed to strengthen the weary and infuse conrago into tho veins of ti'e wcak-kDced, and at the same timo advertise ad-vertise his "gin mill." Again the door opens and a f quad of "mcrchanLb" enter and seat themselves, them-selves, each awaiting his turn to report on the sayings or doings of some Mormon Mor-mon whum ihcy havo pumped during the day, always ending with "Vat ish dcr maidcr mid dcr beoplcs? Yy dond dcr lynching gommence righd avay?" Kach and evorv one anxious to have the ball open. A short timo since, this band of law-delyers resolved themselves into a "vigilanco cummittco," and no tilled three individuals to leave town within twenty-four hours. Tho men in question ques-tion did not leave, and lo and behold, last Monday tho G. L. U's , made overtures to one of these men, and now employs him in doing nothing, but, his work is to be laid out in a tew dayy. The mombers of this organization organiza-tion arc, as a general thing, men who havo been obliged to leave the States for the Slates' good. Others are similar simi-lar to tho class of rcucnades known in the South as "oarpct-'jaygers," and arc here for ibe purpose of picking up the political crumbs that fad from the tables of tho "big guns;" and to do tho dirty work of thbj band of plotters they have enlisted into their ranks of the scum and dregs ol the world's wort characters, and a moro deprived looking set has not been seen since tho days of Walker's Nicaragua expeditiou. If the Territory Terri-tory of Utah is to be governed by such a lawless band, and capital and enterprise enter-prise driven from its doura, it ia about time that all law-abiding citizens should arit-o and take such measures an will overthrow this "ring," and, if need be, banish all from this, tho richest Territory Terri-tory in the United States. I am, sir. Baden Baden. |
