ltees unto us all that we do, or ever have claimed. If the constitutional rijhls which appertain,
unto us as American citizens, were extended to
Utah, according to the spirit and meaning thereof, and freely and impartially administered, that
is all we could ask, all that we have ever asked;
Onr opponents have availed themselves of pi,eja<
dices existing agniost us, because of our religious
faith, to send out a formidable host to accomplish
our destruction. We have had no privilege or
opportunity of defending ourselves from the false;
foul and unjust aspersions against us, before the
nation. The Government has not condescended
to cause an investigating committee or other per-
sons to be sent to inquire into and ascertaiu the
truth, as is customary in such cases.
We know their aspersions to be false, hut that
avails us nothing. We are condemned unheard,
and forced to an issue with an armed mercenary
mob which has been sent against us at the instigation of anonymous letter writers, ashamed to
father base slanders and falsehoods which they
have given to the public—of corrupt officials who
have brought false accusations against us to secure themselves in their own infamy—of hireling
priests and howling editors who prostitute the
truth for filthy lucre's sake.
The issue which has been thus forced upon u6(
compels us to resort to the great first law ot.self-
preservation, and stand in our own defence and
right, guaranteed unto us by the genius oflhe in-
itituions of our country,' and ou which the Government is bastd. Our duty to ourselves nnd
families requires ue uot to lamely submit to be
driven and slain, without an attempt lo preserve
ourselves. Onr duty to our country, our holy religion, our God, to freedom  and liberty, requires
law requires the register and receiver to adjudicate such claim. The Department cannot iu ad-

Gocd Si:,iGE9Tioxs.—The activity which has
prevailed in and about the Capitol for a few days
past, says the Sacramento Union, reminds us that
the time for tiie meeting of the Legislature is rapidly approaching. The first of January, 1858,
will be, here, and with the day appear the members elect to the Legislature. They wil1, for the
tirst time in the history of our State, find the
Treasury prepared to meet all demands which
may be drawn upon it for the per diem of members. In consideration of tlie State paying cash,
we trust the Legislature will cut down the pay oi
its officers, clerks, pages, etc., to the very lowest
sum which is deemed a reasonable compensation.
Heretofore, hangers-on about the Legislature for
a good winter's job, have been paid far too liberally. To some extent last year was an exception,
and the coming Legislature in point of enonomy,
ought to far excel all which have gone before it.
Its members should resolve at the commencement
that the session shall not exceed ninety days in

Union, of Octobep 10th, publishes the following
directions for the guidance of those who may desire to purchase public lands. As a lar&e quantity of government domain has been recently offered for Bale in California, our readers may find the
information contained in it of great value: —
'•When an individual applies to tho register of a
laud district to purchase a tract of land, he is required to hie a written " application."    On such
application  the register endorses his certificate,
showing the land is vacant and subjeet to entry.
That certificate the applicant carries to the re.
ceiver, and it ie the evidence on which the receiver permits payment  to be made', and issues his
1 "original receipt,''   the duplicate of which  is
handed to the  purchaser as  his  evidence of payment, and  which  is required  to  be  surrendered
when  a  patent  is   forwarded  from  the General
Land Office for delivery.   The - original receipt"
is banded to the register, who indicates the sale
on his township plat, enters the same in his tract
book, and it is transmitted by  the register to the
General Laud Office, with the monthly abstract of
sales aud certificates of purchase.   This is the formality prescribed  to individual  purchasers, and
must be observed not only  for their protection in
securing titles, but for the protection of the interests of the government.    The  law has established
two officers in a land district—the register and re.
oeiver--and prescribed a mode of proceeding to
serve as check upon each other.   II a claimant
tails to observe the requirements, he does it at his 1
peril.    If he deposits money with any person con-'
nected with the district office, even with a receiver without having first filed a written application
with the register, he does so at hie own risk, government not being responsible  for any loss whore
I the terms on which the law authorizes entries are
departed from.
