Show Destroying Credit The lying reports circulated by tin sensation and unprincipled presa concerning a flairs in Utah are having a most damaging tflect to the territory, terri-tory, financially. While the uu-p uu-p rem est ponce and quiet reign here, people in the cast and wrst are led to , tmiitva tint uxtreme lawlesJnrss pre ' vails, and neither life nor property is safe. A well known busiucfts iun of this city who has heretoloru purchased pur-chased goods in the eastern market on. time, and has always promptly met his obligations when due, informs in-forms us that he recently received notice fiom a house with nhii.h he has dtiiilt larguly, that "owing to the unsettled htute of affairs in Utah," his orders horeaftttr must be accompanied accom-panied by the cash. Two or t! ree-iustanccs ree-iustanccs have? also come to our knowledge where eastern capitalists were about to invest in mines here, but the senseless howl has frightened them. If there were eter a time iu the history of Utah when absolute peace prevailed, it is now. We undertake to challenge any other section in the Union to show a belter state of affairs than actually exists iu Utah. The courts are in operation, all required power, and the masses are industriously at work at their respective re-spective avooationt. Outiide the sanctums of certain renegade editors, there is naught but peace aid harmony, har-mony, and an earnest desire on the part of all classes to develops the resources re-sources of the country and restore commercial prosperity. A few days ago it was published in our disreputable disrep-utable morniDg con tern, and a feeble I excuse for a paper at Ogden, and was telegraphed throughout tbe country, that the "Mormons" of Cache valley were arming tbemielvee nnd drilling secretly, preparatory to "cleaning out" the Gentiles, and a lot moie jf similar sim-ilar balderdash and lies. Already seme f eur exchangee have reached us with ; exciting comments on this canard, ' I and thus the object of tbe scoundrelly riginatori of the story has been ao- complisked. This is only one of the many falsehoods put in circulation ' every week by the unprincipled adventurers, ad-venturers, and which aie so seriously affecting tbe financial status of the territory. It is the duty of business men here to publioly deny these scindalj on Utah. They owe it to themselves and and tbe poople to do so. Everybody here knows they are false and those who circulate them are base scouu drels ; but people elsewhere e.innoi know bat these fabrications are true, except thore is a prompt and trustworthy trust-worthy denial. |
