Another meeting of persons claim ing to represent the minority in Salt Lake City, was held last evening in Hussey's Hall. It was reported, by the "Committed of Conference," that fifteen Mormon gentlemen had been written to, for the purpose of securing their aid in effecting the object desired, but that only one response had been received, which was from Mayor Wells, to the effect that the proper place to make nominations for city officers was at a convention of the people. A number of ''Resolutions" were then pissed, after considerable squab- Wing, which, boiled down, are in anbstance, that the Mayor should be petitioned to permit an investigation of the books of the Collector, Auditor and Treasurer, by a committee of forty-fire- . A full ticket was nominated for City Officers. A great deal f ''buncombe" was indulged in about taxthe "rights" of the payers, the contempt with which their demands had been received ,and the necessity for help from Congress. Seeing that the city records are not locked up from the public eye, but open for inspection at proper hours, the resolutions are nothing bat 'gasf" of a Tery poor quality. And seeing that the city oficera are elected by tho majority of votes at the polls, and not by "fifuen' prominent and influential citizens," the labors of the committee were as ridic-nlsu- s non-Morm- as they were fruitless. Frothing about congressional interference, if the majority do not in corporate in their ticket the nomina tions of the minority, is all of a piece with the general threatening and Muster of the clique of disturbers, who want to fill all the offices and run the whole machine of government in the Territory. Imagine a handful of Democrats declaiming and breath- ing out threats, and invoking the aid of tho Government, because tta Re publican majority in a city would not put upon their ticket and vote ioto office their political enemies Would they not bseoaie the laughing fctock of the country ? Yet this is just the position of the agitators at .Salt Lake. The rights cf minorities should be respected. But who can respect a g knot of abusive, politi cians, who ara scheming to obtain power over ' the majority for private ends and personal profit? How can the majority be expected to resign their legitimate position and rightful powri, iat) the hand of men who have hitherto acted in a Spirit of the bitterest hostility to them and their taost cherished institutions? Who demand everything, but yield noth ing? Who propose "compromise, Who talk but mean surrender? 1 inib and act tiger? Who pretend ;miity while they plot fur war?
