p. 2 ; columns 1-2 ; 24 col. in. ; In the midst of discussion about the Frelinghuysen's bill, the Mormons have expressed confidence that they can withstand government interference with their practices, citing Johnston's failed expedition in 1858 as an example. Believing Joseph Smith's prophecy that they will one day be gathered with the Savior in Jackson County, the Mormons believe they are beyond the control of the government. They also believe the earth will be shaken up and that all the land will be flattened into a plain. There will soon be much building and business in Salt Lake, including the construction of a great hotel and more amusement venues. Brigham Young, now 73 is very fat and seems to be calm and in good keeping. Two new newspapers, the New Endowment and the Grant Vidette, will make a total of six newspapers in Salt Lake City.

[p. 1] ; column 6 ; 8 ¾ col. in. ; A non-Mormon brings news from Utah. Brigham Young encourages his people to fight the coming government troops. He preaches open rebellion against the government. Young's practice of sealing young girls to old men is causing dissention. Apostates are prevented from leaving, and any who try to escape are killed.

p. 238 ; column 4 ; 5 ¾ col. in. ; The government seems reluctant to address the Mormon problem. "The doctrine that a horde of ignorant foreigners, as most of the Mormons are, can appropriate a portion of our territory, and apply it to every vile use, without Congress having the power to prevent it, is manifestly absurd."

[p. 2] ; column 3 ; 10 col. in. ; The Boonslic Democrat reports that Mormons are a threat to the government in both Carroll and "Daviess" Counties because they are abolitionists, they support the loco foco party, and they have fled there from Canada because of poor behavior. A letter from "a Friend to Justice," entitled "Mormons," is reprinted from the St. Louis Republican articulating these threats. The editors do not endorse lynching the Mormons, but "freedom of opinion and of action is but the stepping stone to universal anarchy." The Mormons must be restrained, by force if needs be.
