Show ' STILL IN SESSION. t j The long-drawn-out agony is not yet , j over. The agents of John Taylor's I Church 6till continue to pose in a body , ;' . as the Legislative Assembly of Utah, j j though whether their prolonged (' session will have the countenance of any law, is very doubtful, f J The gods are to be thanked that, of all j the aglictions visited upon Utah, any- thing akin to that experienced here during I the past sixty days will after this be 3 known no more in the land forever. i Sixty days! Who can point to the in- " traduction of a single bill whose provis- ! ions gave an. earnest of even the slightest desire on the part of these men to do any- !. - thing looking toward the solution ' ' j of the intolerable evils here and j " j the wheeling of Utah into line as i an American Territory in something '. more than the mere name? It caunot be done. True to their covenants made . ? with men who are now fugitives from 1 justice, these legislators have stubbornly ' refused to consider the questions which for s0 long have agitated the Territory and the whole nation ; but on the other hand, repeated attempts have been made to get through such legislation as would afford aid and comfort to Church criminals and ' enable them to longer and with more ? impunity set at defiance the laws of the u' land. ? The record of the Twenty-seventh Legislative Assembly of Utah is a brilliant bril-liant one, to be sure. May we never look -- ' upon its like again. |
