"WASHINGTON LETTER.
>»o* op» »r»c>*fc c #»»iiroM#«»T.|
Washinotoh, Dec. 17, 18. H.
It sometimes happens, even In Washington
(hit there are no near events to talk about,
»nd ire then descant a little upon foreign af-
C,irj. The aspectot thin*# on the Crimea,
and those affected thereby, are now our
topics of discussion. Hebatfopol will not be
t*lien—this winter; perhaps not in the spring.
In the spring there may be a fierce and san
.' lin.ary attempt made to capture it; but it is
thought a grand element or success will be
wanting—the perfect unity of the Allies, and
rr. :ttt*l confidence. Water and oil do not
mingle. «or have the English and the Krqpch
f ver evinced the possibility of any affinity.
The theory of their recent coalition would
b ive been sound enough between other na.
♦ions bnt it was uot sound as applied to Eng
l*nd and France. That they will quarrel in
the end, whether successful or defeated, is
untto certain: and that the end will be has
tened by a rupture between them is very far
from impossible. There was in the begin
ning a party in England opposed to the al
ii mice, and all the recent accounts indicate
the increase of that party.
Does the Czar not understand this? De
pend upon it that the volunteer nurse of the
•Sick Man' has counted well upon it, and
that when the quarrel comes he may exclaim
with I ago, "Now, whether he kill Cassio, or
Cassio him, each way makes my gain,"
In the meantime what will be the fate of
the 'Sick Man"—ot Turkey 1 For the life of
me I never could understand why we should
cure. While he possessed power I never
knew of a virtue possessed by him; and in
tbe days of his decline, though he has had
policy enough to assume the tone of liberali
ty, 1 have never perceived aught in him but
tiie craven and abject spirit ever manifested
by the tyrant in las adversity. So far as he
i- concerned, I would as 6oonsee him beneath
the fret the bear as upright with his nose
toward Mecca
Hal we have Turks of our own to deal
with, and our dealings are to be accompa
nied with much trouble. We have permitted
them to gather strength beneath the wings
of our eagle, and they are now in a condition
to repay us as we well might count (puon.—
The I uioa of to day quotes the following
from the Baltimore American :
The W'aihington Union confirms the report
that the Preaident baa nominated to the Senate
Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Edward J. Steptoe to
be Governor oi Ctah We are glad to hear it, and
hope that he will be sustained by the eovnrnment
*• itb nil necessary power in whatever dijjicultir * may
nri<t from the disviistai of Brigham Young."
The significance of the line I italicise will
be understood anon. Mr. Fillmore, in effect,
sustained the iniquitous usurpations of the
.Mormon people, when he appointed this man
Young to the oftice of Governor, and the
country will have to reap the bitter fruits of
that act.
I have before me the San Francisco He
rald of the -2d of November, containing ex
tra eta from the Descret News of the 12th of
October. I quote as follows :
A General Conference of the Saints was held in
the Tabrrntcle, Greßt Balt Lake City, which corc
m-nced on the Gth of Oct and wa* continued for
opwßrds of a week. A great deal of church busl
»k«6 whs dore. interapersed with prayer, addrcaes
ami singing, &c.
The Nevis aays "Brigbam Young took up the bu«
r.r. *6s of the conference, and asked the congregation
If they were satisfied with him as President of the
Cnurcii of Je*u* Christ ol Latter Day Sa nte, if *c,
to sonify it by raising their right hands, which was
co e unanimously."
Rrisham then nominated a multitude of Counsel
lors, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apoa
ties, the Twelve Apostles themselvf*, Pres'ding Pa
triarch. President of the High Priest's Quorum,
C'juwellors of the same. Presidents of the Seven
ties, President of the Klders' Quorum, Presiding
Hishop, President of the Priests' Quorum President
of the Teacher's |y uorum. Superintendent of the
i'ublic Works, Architect oi the Church, Members ol
the High Council, Cburch Historian, &c., &c , all
ol" which were unanimously confirmed by the Con
ference.
Brigham nominated himself for only two posi
tions, but those two were the ouly ones involving
the handling of the cash. They were, Trustee in
trust for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Hninta, and Preaident of the Perpetual Emigrating
Fund to gather the poor. It was ol course confirm
ed, nem. con.
After reading the above, we may well con
.lecture the meaning of "the difficulties that
may arise from the dismissal of Brighaui
1 oung." It_ may be no easy matter to con
vey to that distance the "necessary power,"
while the following item, from the same
source, will indicate the rapid growth ot the
necessity alluded to:
Emmigrant Trains ot Mormons are rapidly pour
ing into Great Salt Lake City, in good condition.
On the 29:h Sept., one company wtth iorty«two
wagons—on the 30th, another with forty wagons—
on the Ist Oct., a third with thirty eight wagons,
and on the .1 th, the great Cburch train arrived!
_ There is trouble ahead, which must be re
sisted and overcome, and the sooner the bet
ter. Yet Brigham Young is strong in influ
ence and position—so strong that no means
at command of the Colonel or Governor
Steptoe may prove capable of |subduing
hirn.
From this we should learn that no people
should be permitted to organize communities
in our territories wlio do not give some suf
ficient guarantee for their observance of all
the requirements implied in the social as
well as the political organization of society in
this Republic, and who do not refrain from
violating those rules, whether written or un
written, which the genius of our government
and people have called into existence.
