IUtah—Brigham Young, in his address to his people, speaks thus of his authority :“I have no fears, whatever, of Franklin Pierce excusing me from ofliec, and saying that | another man shall be Governor of this territory, j We have got a territorial government, and I j am. and will he Governor, and no potvcrcan l hhtdf .- it, untli the Lord Almighty says: 44 Brig-} hum, you must not he Governor any longer! and ;I then 1 am willing to yield to another. I have j told y«u the truth about that.” ;The Mormon manner in electing a delegate 1O O }! to Congress is, to say the least of it, quite ( juniqim. Young, as presiding Elder, is preach-j ! ing. when he says : [•*It came into ray mind when brother Bern- j libel was speaking, and as the same thing -trikes me now, viz : Inasmuch as he does! first rate as our delegate in Washington, I was j going to move that we send him m-.xt session, j though it is the Sibbath day.1 undvrsta .d these things, and as other peo-j pie sav. “We are Mormons.” We do things 1 that are necessary to be done, when the time -comes for us to do them. If we wish to make j political speeches, and it is necessary for the j I best interest and kingdom of God, to make ithem on the Sabbath day, we do it. Brother j Kimball has seconded the motion that Dr. Bern-hbel be sent back to Washington as our delegate ; all who are in favor of it raise your light hand.” [More than two thousand hands were at once seen above the heads X)f the congrega-; tion.]“It is all right. I would never call for an!iopposite vote. I will try it, however.” [Not ai single hand was raised in opposition.]
