In this sup position you are in error. I left Cali- t, fornia on the 16th of December last, f and we knew of the nature of the civil authorities with the Mormons at least eight weeks before that. The trip be- e tween Salt Lake and Sacramento is t often made in less than two weeks. There is a monthly mail between Portland, Oregon, and Salt Lake; also between Sacramento and Los Angeles, and Salt Lake. The communication between the Mormon settlement in 6 Los Angeles and Salt Lake is kept open the whole year round. t Although the Delegate f.om the p Territory of Utah disbelieves the state- g ment brought by the last steamer from ( California, yet I am satisfied that he is i in error. In fact, it does not surprise i the people of Oregon and California. t We had all been looking for news of open defiance on the part of the Mor mons to the authority of the United I States. The great body of these peo ple are English chartists, and the rest are made up of fanatics and enthusiasts of our town country and other parts of the world. I have no hesitation in saying that the statement brought by the last mail wvill be confirmed, and that the government will have ke soine very decidq l mFans to subdue do immense damage t~ ''life and piroper ty. Besides their eo trol over a large number of warlike tibes of indians, their numbers will be reatly augment ed by emigration dw ing the ensuing yearI.
