old slaveholding element go 80 when news comes of large numbers of culled cussons pus sons seceding from the ther ranks of the radicals the conclusion is at once reached that terrorism either secret

democrats produce evidence of the disgust of the colored people for the politicians who have vainly undertaken to rule the of the af a r many of the darkies feel for their old masters and their c connections the cry is ku klux 1 shotgun shot shob gun peral persuasion aslon fraud frau d and intimidation but what will be lae said about the colored hancock clubs which are being formed in the south does intimidation proceed so fara far as s not only to prevent the colored people from sustaining the party at the headon national amm aff mairs affairs but actually to compel them to organize societies for the election of their political enemies one hancock club at richmond virginia numbers more than colored men there are other hancock clubs compo composed sedof of colored men in other southern bouthern states and negro writers and speakers are working in in many places for the election of the democratic candidates this will bo be surprising to northern republicans public ans but it is an undeniable I 1 act fact 1 what is the reason of this why do not the oppressed negroes in iii the south rise ag against their tyrants and gustain sustain their deliverers from bondage the answer is that beyond the severance of their bonds of slavery the republican party has not done anything really of benefit to the inferior race general prosperity has nott come with general ir freedom cc dom education has no not t accompanied the ballot and the white southerners even where they are in the minority hold the balance of f power because of their actual superiority in mind culture the habit of command alid arid the knowledge of political methods there is little danger of a divided south in the approaching presidential conflict and the colored vote will according to present appearances be s strongly democratic w without th ou t a any y grounds rounds for the radical cry of intimidation A P poor 0 OR SELECTION IT is stated stated that the utah and northern railroad officials intend to build large shops and construction works at eagle rock idaho which is about one hundred and fifty miles north of logan lagan the objector object of this no doubt is to build up a town and dispose of lots as about three hundred men will be oe employed edana ana these with their families will make quite a good start for a settlement and draw blore store storekeepers keepers and trad tradesmen esmen eslen of different kinds to the loda loea locality lity F Eagle eagie a larock Rock hoek is at the end of a section of the line these considerations are all that we know of which could lead to such an arrangement the place is one of the worst along the road for a town site ite it is a bleak and barren spot the winds whirl around there with a chronic how howl the sand drifts and finds its way through chinks and crannies and mingles with food and clothing in a manner decidedly unpleasant however the tile population of the pla pia place ce will be gritty folks ame none nae other could remain there it appears to us that logan boners offers to th the e e company 0 pany by long odds the best f facilities ac ll 11 ites for establishing their works water power is plentiful there and easily attainable mechanics and laborers can be had there or in the tile vicinity supplies of all kinds anre on hand some shops are already erected there and it would be easy to add to them them and altogether logan looks to us like the most feasible spot in the whole north gou country for the establishment of the works needed by tilt comeail company we hope the officers avill will think again

the wick edest in the world thinks that president hayes missed his opportunity when wilen he failed to tell the mormons cormons what the people think of them and that utah was a better place to fire a message at them than the white house furthermore that brave men always choose close quarters whether president hayes is a brave man or not may be an open question but there does not appear to be anything in the letter lette of the constitution which requires wres him to go 0 about getting at close 0 quarters quarter with the inhabitants of the states and territories and telling them what other people think of them if president hayes regards it as one of his official functions to missi onate from place to place reasoning of righteousness temperance and a judgement jud gement to come it

rome pome attention they further arraign the peoples peopled party for failure to encourage general immigration but on the contrary by its attitude and policy repelling the te immigrant not of its party and giving him to understand that he is not wanted in utah in any capacity we would like to know how much these very tery liberal individuals who are such adepts at faultfinding t and fault manufacturing have done towards encouraging 0 immigration in of any kind ind how M many any people mormon or non mor mon 12 have they induced to too settie settle in utah how much money have they expended to promote general immigration how many agents have they sent out and how many books pamphlets and other literary works nave lave they ther issued with that ob object in view why their course all along has been such as to drive away cap eap capi to deter people rich or poor from coming to utah the stories they have concocted the rumors they have caused to le be circulated the influence they have exerted at the seat of government have all been of such a nature as to prevent the influx of population and to frighten men of means from investing in utah interests when the territory has been at rest with no disturbing element in motion except that which is so appropriately called Liberal reports have been sent gent all over ovet the country by letter and lightning conveying the idea that the turbulent mormons cormons Mor mons were about to commit some overt act either of rebellion J I 1 it treason bloodshed or in the nature of anarchy and the baseless canards canaras were the work of these precious liberals who now complain that the dominant party has not encouraged cou raged general immigration by the gross falsehoods which they habein have industriously sent forth aided by pious professors of spurious religion they have made multitudes believe that utah is in a chronic stame state of internal disorder and that it is not safe foran for an outsider to venture into any of the mormon settlements tle ments their fictions of ruan guau an ites destroying angels and other liberal stretches of vile imagination agi nation have been repeated abroad as solemn truth and have caused utah to be hated and shunned through prejudices thus created and these devisers devi sers of mischief and revelers in slander now turn round and talk about not encouraging immigration in would they not be a nice set for the mormons cormons Mor mons to pick from when men are wanted 11 to fill positions of public trust but what llave lavo lave the wor mormons cormons Mor mons done towards encouraging immigration more than an any other people on the continent with the same means they have gathered the poor by thousands every year before fore the advent of the railroad they sent hundreds of teams with men and provisions annually to the missouri elver eiver to haul over the plains the poor who had been aided to cross the sea by their money given when cash was scarce and dollars were few and far between and with the building of the great highway the work of immigration was fir further ther continued and still goes on as the emigration statistics of the country abundantly terlly testify the perpetual emigration fund is fa a standing testimony to th the efforts of f the mormon people to aid in the cause of immigration and their liberality in this direction is without a parallel but the complaint is this himml immigration is not general it is only mormon immigration well have we who raise the funds fund snot not the right to choose the objects of our benevolence if these thesel liberals were ever to subscribe to a fund for immigration would they help heip one mormon out of the thousands who wish to come tome here we think not we came here as a reil rell religious body to worship and serve god in the way he had appointed and when by his providence we prospered and gathered means enough for our support and to spare should we have been j justified us before god or in common sense to refuse aid to our co religionists who longed to gather with us and use nse the means to bring in in people who had no sympathy with the chief object of our lives and labors why th the complaint of these liberals is the most arrant nonsense but then that and wilful perversions form theli thelt sole stock in trade mormon money has gone to promote mormon immigration no one wishes to deny that arid and no one can point to any liberal money that has gone for any kind kid of immigration but ut w while mie ile this is the fact people of other creeds have been perfectly free to come here and make their homes many have done so and some have made their fortunes how much did some of these same I liberals who talk about our repelling immigrants not of our par party ty 11 have of this worlds goods when they arrived here and who has attempted to hinder them from coming here or to make a living after they came this territory has been just as free for immigrants of every party class and creed as any other part of the great west and there b has as been no difficulty here with non mormons cormons be they OL liberal Iberal or otherwise but that which they have made themselves no one has interfered with their politics or their religion but they have interfered with ours and used their utmost power to lorina bring evil bovil upon us even to our total destruction truc tion they have signally failed every time and are filled with anger and chagrin in consequence and their address is a mild dish of their bollings boi bol lings over the immigration we have aided hided and encouraged has not been crowded in beyond the capacity of the territory to absorb and support as in some other places elther neither Nl have we induced general gendral immigration to leave by thousands as in california to perish or foot it back to the states penniless and tempted to crime the thousands we bring here annually speedily find homes employment and eventually comfort and the few who become dissatisfied are free to go whither they will if there is one thing more than another in which fair minded people no matter how much they dislike our ways and faith can safely give us credit it is for our grand system of immigration it is the be best the most efficient and complete on earth and has won encomiums from able statesmen in both hemispheres we bring here all we can consistently assist and that thae can be safely added to our growing community andia and if the liberals want so go many keople people of every kind and class brought rought here that wages will be reduced below a living rate to the pecuniary advantage of the capitalist but the detriment of the populace and to the introduction of all the elements which disfigure the cities of the gentiles let them spend their own money and adopt their own policy to deflect it and not expect i us to do so we trust the mormons cormons Mor mo mons have too much good sense for anything of the kind and feel satisfied that these liberals libertis understand it in this light and merely make their complaint in this respect r to swell their bogus arraignment of the dominant

territorial form of government is is an anomaly in our national system and is a great stretch of the powers conferred upon congress and the executive but it has some features of a republican form of government chief of which is the popular legislature elected by the citizens and endowed with power over ali ail all frightful subjects of ae legislation isolation subject to the revision of congress but what can be thought of a proposition to take away from utah that feature which is the main token that the territory is not a satrapy anub a jeub j eject act province of a monar monarchial chial
