assemble in inthis this city the object of the convention is to prepare a constitutional constitution with a view to the admission of utah as a state in the Union choose delegates to carry the same to congress and do all and everything that may be considered nece necessary sary sacy or advisable upon such an important and popular occasion to further the purpose thereof which purpose is to aid the natural and proper development of the community and to secure the full rights and privileges of american citizens to the members thereof which they do not enjoy under the territorial form of govern ment and so far aa appears they cann cannot enoy enjoy except through a state government the pettifogging and pitiful objections to the holding of the tho convention expressed by the governor and also manifested by a small clique of Jn Ju dases political adventurers and other ambitious unscrupulous and intriguing individuals are pe arcely scarcely worthy of notice much less of serious comment they are so very narrow bigoted illiberal and mean exhibiting such a cor corx rupt bupt desire to manipulate ani ana and control the public affairs of the territory contrary to the well weli known and emphatically express ed wishes of the pd people ople opie and this in a country I 1 rach the fundamental political doctrine of W which 1 is the sovereignty of the people in the convention will be assembled d del dei gates from every county in the territory 1 who may fairly be 11 presumed to understand and wishes of their constituents upon the important subject concerning which the delegates will be convened the expression of the convention may therefore be safely taken as the expression of the desires of the people and as such irwill it will have a rightful claim upon the respectful attention and careful consideration of congress and the public at large and the judicious j cious clous action ol of the former body the representation sor lions of a small and heterogeneous minority of growling and whining malcontents to tile tiie contrary notwithstanding from our knowledge of the tho character and sentiments of the people at large throughout the territory we are sat isted that the convention will adopt what wo llave have termed a constitutional cons titu tion ilont one that will be a credit and an honor to them xa one that congress can not with th the least of reason reject upon its ita merits 24 a republican form of goe soe government ent eat this Is ia ailt allt authan net nat congress can constitutionally require land congress is as much bound to act constitutionally as aa the people are we do not imagine for one moment that the convention will knowingly stultify it seif seir by adopting any provision that will involve unconstitutionality or the sacrifice of sound

savage esq informs us that of the thirty days of the blockade only six were fine during the balance of the time it either snowed or mowed and as often as not it did both at once onoe every time the deep cuts fill up and the snow Is shoveled them makes the difficulty of clearing the tro track still greater by reason of the snow being piled up on the embankments mr S thinks the difficulties the company will have to contend with in endeavoring to keep the road apen during the rest of the winter will be very great and that railroad communication from the eastwell east will consequently be very irregular for some time all that the company could do under the circumstances for the blockaded passengers was done but the circumstances were far from favorable from any aspect and many had consequently to rejoice in square meals of square crackers crack ersa a lump of cheese cut square and abd a square slice of offish fish our friend Savage however fared pretty well and returns looking none the worse for his being so long snowbound snow bound he went eastward for the sole purpose of taking some blockade pictures As it was however he was only enabled to take a few sketches which will soon be before the bublic public and will give those who have not had ad experience in the line some idea of what it is to be snow bound in the rocky mountain region CONDUCT wo have received from moses thatcher esq additional particulars tic ulars Inel incidental dental to the hate late fire at logan it appears that soon atten atter the building was discovered to be on en fire and the alarm was guve give given n a crowd gathered who did all in their power to prevent the progress of the flames some time after the commencement of the fire and when a large portion of the upper part of the interior of the building was enwrap ed in flames some one recollected that there were twenty 4 three kegs of powder in the cellar on learning this a number of the people who were around the building thinking idis discretion the better part of valor took themselves to a respectful distance A young man who was present named edward holden shouted 1 I who will follow me and get the powder bowder out and rushed into the burning rull ruil building diug ding followed by two others named richard steel and E D crowther crowther th they ey searched around for some time but were unable to find the powder and they were about to leave the building when E holden in springing up the cellar stair upon which fiery brands were falling thick and fast saw the kegs under the steps literally covered with fire on see lag them hein he cried to R steel good bye dick well never get out of here to which richard made an appropriate response holden then leaped down ahe the steps took off his hat and with it commenced brushing the fire from the kegs aega of powder this done the three brave fellows went to work and carried the twenty three kegs of powder the whole length of the store and passed them out of a front window to those outside while the flames were roaring and the timbers crackling overhead over head E holdens boldens Hol dens hands were badly blistered in handling the kegs some of which had actually commenced to burn had the powder not been taken out the damage to property and probably life ildo would doubtless have been very tery great treat another exploit of mr crowther was to gain an
