The Tuscaroras, headed by tho Liberal band, paraded last night and convinced the people of Salt Lake that they were not dead by -ny means. After the parade the society returned to its hall and the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The experience of the 'democratic 'demo-cratic delegation from this territory to the late national democratic convention at Chicago Chi-cago has made clear to the democrats of this territory. First, That a majority of the democratic national committee and of the democratic congressional committee have committed themselves by direct bargain with the mormon mor-mon church to the creation of a mormon state in this territory on a promise of three or four votes for the democratic national party in ths electoral college. Such state of the case being evidenced by the treatment of the democratic delegates from Utah at the late national convention, where a packed committee, consisting of mormon attorneys, by chicane prevented the presentation of the gentile cause in this territory to the full committee on credentials, and to the body of the national convention. Second, That if the object of the before-mentioned before-mentioned bargain be attained through the agency of the democratic party, the result - will be dishonoring to the national democracy, demo-cracy, and wili also imperil the present prosperity pros-perity of this territory for many years to come. Therefore be it Jie.iolied, First, that it is the sense of this meeting that tne Salt Lake tribe of the Tus-carora Tus-carora society of Utah, and each individual member thereof, should make increased effort to awaken the public opinion and conscience con-science of the country to the danger of clothing the mormon priesthood with the powers of a state of this Union.
