Show GOVERNOR SERIES OF THE article bearing tho the name of governor murray which appears in the tho worth north jn orth american review for january next is substantially a re ra of the untruthful statements which form the chief part of his report to the secretary of the interior that report has ap feared in full in this paper we therefore do not reproduce the article A paragraph or two will abe be sufficient to show the nature of the tho whole communication governor murray starts with thib this assertion that the country has resolved to goh geh at the bottom bottona facts in utah alf airs fairs and to reform the social and i crl cri status of that territory is a fact patent to every observer of the currents of popular opinion and popular sentiment this la Is just juat exactly what t the he country it if by loy that term is ia meant either it its leading minds or the mas maz es of the people has never done nd hab has not yet resolved todo to do the bottom facts concerning utah have not been reached or attempted to be reached there Is ia more ignorance about utah affairs in the united states than in regard to any other subject of public interest travelers who come here are amazed at the situation sa 00 different diff erent to that which they have been led to suppose sup eup pose pobe and the articles that appear in the pa pers and the discourses that are preached in the pulpits exhibit a must astour astounding iding lack of knowledge territory Is it not a fact that the ideas entertained in regard to the mormons cormons Morr Mor mons are derived from the statements of their most moat uncompromising enemies Is it not also true that the popular notion of the meaning of mormonism sms Is summed up in the word polygamy if the country wanted to get at the bottom facts inquiries would be instituted among those who are familiar with the system called mormonism and jtb JIB authorized exponents printed and personal would be consulted but the general method is to give credence to every foolish story particularly if it Is salacious or startling and ignore all that is brought forward in refutation it is rare that a newspaper or a magazine will print anything written to correct the publio public mind and show the falsehood of rumors that become current the press parrot like repeats the falsehoods false taise hoods started by unprincipled persons in this city cily and the pulpit echoes the terrain often they are without the slightest foundation in fact fre they contain a blender slender filament of truth scarcely perceptible in a whole bolt of fiction if the country or if congress would really try to get at inthe the bottom facts concerning utah it would be found that the country had been grossly deceived by designing persons person sj helped by others less lebs dishonest but feebler witted wilted aiho also that the statements and insinuations 1 0 ell 11 murray are a com oom 1 pound of absolute untruth and cunning yet transparent sophistry told with a deliberate intention to defame utah and hoodwink the government and the country take the annexed paragraph which contains the marrow of all he has said baid in his official report and in the article from chica we make the extract if it be true truo that crime prevails and criminals control in utah that from the very beginning the legislation of utah ha hab been inimical to and subversive of the federal Federa lau iau authority within tho the territory that an unlawful government has existed there for thirty year that taxes are levied upon the minority to build schools upon caarol property into which the ehll chIl childred dron dren of that minority do not and should not enter and that laws of congress are nullified if it be true that by terri statute the whole system of immigration has been given over to the church that thousands ot of afas assisted blat bist eds immigrants have been and are now gathered from abroad that es chests cheats and confiscations for this immigration fund have been provid ed for by ane territorial legislatures that fanaticism imposes upon igno rance and that avarice teeda feeds upon industry under authority of this legislation legiel atlon that laws have been on en acted 19 respecting an establishment of religion ss in violation of the federal constitution if it be ba true that congress and civilization have denounced the plural wife system as bigamy that the appeals of virtue bues tues and the hopes of holzle helpless s children born and yet to be born are unheeded and the unholy system de upheld defended and in utah that a territorial law establishes a new of naturalization aliza tion by conferring the right of suffrage upon alien women when they become wives without the qualification of time as required by national law that this system has spread into other territories the pr property of the united states State sand band and is occupying the public lands if these propositions be true and it if these evils exist by the act of legis latureo lasures created by authority of congress and paid out of the treasury ot oi the united states state then the time is ia fully come when so eo vicious a system should be destroyed and such agency of government abolished if it bo be true yes IP IF but bat it ja is not true A very littie little in tion into the bottom facts would show this beyond a doubt there la is not an assumption in the whole collection of iw but la Is either a i tive falsehood or a statement misstatement mi of something partly true in such a manner as render it in effect a deception cep tion we admit one exception to the rule it Is ia the reference to the denunciation of the plural wife system as 61 bigamy 11 the who statement thac that it has hai been so BO denounced to is correct the principle attempted to be estable established esta bif bli hed ja ia a fallacy plural marriage and rind bigamy are esse essentially n bially lerent different dif as aa president taylor has hab clearly shown in his article in the review the unlawful government governments existing ad g ju in utah for tor or thirty years is ia that bet sel up jip and sustained by the united bates states utah has no other ludw blag JU jam aam LU substantiate the governor governors is absurd assertion and jf if it ic were true it would be a reflection upon congress and the administration not upon utah there Is ignot not a schoolhouse la in ha the territory built by the taxes of the minority taxes for building schoolhouses are assessed by vote of he the tapay taxpayers tax era and are levied upon all the be taxable property in the districts district and are not used to build schools upon church property the governors statement is wilfully and entirely false as is the assertion that a territorial law establishes sha a new process of naturalization 11 1 1 no buch bach law Is 11 on the statute book booi and it II it existed it would be a nullity for congress alone con prescribe rules forth or the naturalization of aliens it ja s a law of congress which provides that a wife of a citizen of the united states becomes a citizen by her marriage governor murray must think h his hib Is readers as aa ignorant as he is reckless and untruthful any schoolboy ought to know better than to write such transparent trash and what about the hopes of helpless children yet to be born how cruel of anybody to let iet unborn hopes of unborn babes go unheeded the rest of the governors Gover norlis collection of evil imputations we fully exposed a week ago in reviewing ills nis report to the secretary s of the interior and what w hav hat about his vicious declaration cl that the time has come when the system of ef government in utah ueail si should oe ca destroyed lehy it la Is predicated upon thosa those its and they are founded on falsehood f albe aibe hood and ther therefore won wor a the whole fabric amounts to nothing yet these thue malicious misrepresentations and equivocal hypotheses with the abominable suggestion at the close will no doubt be copied as startling facca and the essence of wisdom vy by men who if they would take the trouble to look for the bottom facts would be able to see the fallacy of the suppositions and the villainy of the advice when will the thinking men and women of this nation investigate the so called utah utah problem as they would examine into any other important question when will the orators corsand ora and writers who havo hava the ear ot of the public publics cease to aid the schemes of political conspirators plotting for place and pelf by repeating the fallacies which the tricksters trick invent in their zeal to put down what they suppose to be a error they become the tools of such creature creatures as aa murray and the clique he I 1 m represents who care no more fo for r polygamy than they do for piety but are bent upon destroying the liberties of the whole people of utah that they may gain power and plunder and while the press and the pulpit are sounding tile tiie tocsin for a crusade against mormon marriage these utah plotters are laughing at the noise and scoffing offing ec at those who ma make ke it and are watching for the golden opportunity to ride upon the ruins of u they could never reach by merit nor wish for except am aa chances for robbery and oppression if the government and the country would get got at the si bottom facts gilf if the baseless charges made by rabid fanatics and aschem ing office seekers were fairly investigated if IF the personal pe character of 0 the accused bce ace used people of utah were justly compared with that of their traducers traduce rs il the sentiments senti Benti ments and acts of the mormons Mormon Mor mons ss in regard to the constitution and laws of the land were given due credit if the qualities and capabilities tor ton self government which they have exhibited in the face of a deep seated and powerful hostility were duly recognized if the which enter into the structure ture tuie or of our national system were applied to utah its i bigotry and sectarianism were thrust out of congressional le legisla gisia tion and if IF simple evenhanded justa justuce justice were extended to the people of utah in common with other citizens of this republic there would be no mormon problem to solve polygamy 11 would be relegated to its proper sphere of discussion and cease to be a national question utah would soon be admitted into the union on the same principles as govern the admission of other states and the country would be strength ed and enriched by the addition of a loyal thrifty temperate and pro gres sive commonwealths commonwealth which would become as much a glory and a pride to the union as falsehood and unfair treatment his has made of this
