Annins the ‘etters from distmjsruishod gentlemen irm!iO,Hß guests of the State of Virginia, to at tend the late inauguration, of the equestrian statue ot Washington, at Richmond, which are publish ed in the Enquirer, we find the following from ihe Governor of this State : Executive Department, i Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 16, 1858. $ Gentlemen: Your kind note inviting me to be present, as the guest of t he State of Virginia, at the elevation of the statue of Washington to iis ]>osi tinn on the Virginia Washington Monument in the city of Richmond, on ihe 22d day of this mouth, is received, and I regret to inform you tha pressing official engagements will deny me the pleasure of accepting your invitation. Descended from Vir ginia ancestry, the name of your State to me is ever dear. Her name, adorning so many bright pages of history she is mentioned with reverence bv the truly patriotic of every State, as the cradle o! liber ty. Weil may she delight to honor her noble sons —her Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe. Pendleton, Ilenry, Marshall, Wirt, and that host of other galiant spirits of the -evolution, whose heroic deeds and wise counsels wiii be read and admired by the latest generation. These great men have passed away, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the mother of States and of statesmen should mem orise to posterity, in the triumph of the sculptor’s art, the name of her most renowned benefactor.— The name of Washington will ever live on the most honored page of history. It needs no statue to perpetuate it. Virginia’s monument adds noth ing to the fame of her son. But her splendid offering to his g. eat name, adds additional brightness to her own fair fame. I am, gentlemen, very re spectfully, Your obedient servant, Joseph E. Brown. Give B nnett a Hearing in th .- New York Herald on the 4th hist., under the head of “Foreign Missions for Editors,” the ed itor says: “Several of our cotemporaries,who appear to be deeply inierested in our affairs, have announced that tlie administration intend to appoint, in a very short time, Mr. James Gordon Bennett, as they coil him, the editor of this paper, to ihe mission t Austria. During the administration ot Pierce sim ilar notices were published in tfie papers in relation to the missions in France and England. Now, hi reference lo this matter, we may be permitted to have a word to say. Tire President of the United S ates need not trouble himself so lar as to offer the mission to Austria to Air James Gordon Ben. nett, as some of the newspapers say he intends to do. Mr. James Goidon Bennett would never ac j cept amission to which it has been supposed that i the calibre of Chevalier We b or cf financier Bel- j tnont had been equal. Nei her would he accept j the mission to France or England, or any other j mission. Hhasb-en to Europe five times on | missions to France, England, Germany, Indy end j oi her parts, being appointed thereto and paid hy I the people of the United Stales, through tus own I exertions. On those missions tie has probably col j lected much more inlormaiion and effected much I more good for tiie people of this country, than any ! half dozen of the presen’ ministers abroad. He has had.quite enough of foreign .i.issions, ami thinks that there is only one post in the govern ment which he would now accept. That is the of fice of Secretary of State, now s > worthily filled by that sound old statesman, General C ‘ss. We do not wish to disturb his manageement of foreign affairs, now so well administered, and we hope j that Gen. Cass will remain at his post during Pro j sident Buchanan’s administration; but if ever the | office should become vacant we mieht be indu fed lo accept it, in order to have a chance in show to England, France ard S| am, how we would con- ! duct negoeiations with Mexico, Cuba, and Central j America. Six months after our appointment ns , Secretary of State, we’d give Palmerston, Loins I Napoleon, and Queen Isabella, enough to think of, j so that they wouid never again interfere in Ami ri- j ican affairs in any part of the continent. - ’ Mr. Shorter’s speech. The speech of our Representative in Congress j which we publish to-day, will amply repay a p j rusal. It is eminently Southern in tone and not ? only vindicates our own policy, but carries the v. ar j into Africa. We are especially gratified at the I passing notice which hegives to the vaunted ethics i and philosophy of Plymouth Rock and only regret that he did not still further elaborate so fruitful a theme. It is high time that the truth of history should be vindicated from the monstrous perver sions ol New England orators and historians, and that the character of the puritans should be exhibi ted in its true light. Nobody will insist that hey were so different from the rest of mankind, as to have been without virtue of any sort, but tiiat with the loudest aspirations for religious liberty, on their lips, they were I lie most intolerant and tyranical ot men—that they were strikingly deficient in the qualities that most adorn humanity and that they suffer inexpressibly by a comparison with the co temporaneous settlers of ihe middle and southern States, no candid man who conquers his preju dices can possibly deny. We have unfortunately been in Ihe habit of deferring too much to the pre tensions of these “fo-efathers day orators” who would have us believe that tha very salt ofthe earth was imported in the May ower and ‘hat without its savor, barbarism would every where reign supreme. — Spirit ofthe South. For the Cure of Whooping Cough. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post furnishes the following receipt for the cure of the whooping cough : The bast kind of coffee prepared as for the table, and give a common drink to tire child as warm as can ire drank; arid a piece of alum for the pa tient to lick as soon as it may wish. Most chil dren are fond of alum, and w ill get all they need without being urged; but if they dislike it, they must be made to taste of it eight or ten times in tire course of a day. It wi l effectually break up the worst case of whooping cough in a very short time. To adults and children in the habit of taking coffee, the remedy is good for nothing. A Sensible Decision. —Porter’s Spirit, in reply to a correspondent, thus settles a point in whist, not generally understood, we think: “It is optional with the non-dealer to claim the deal when the dealer makes a misdeal. If the rule were otherwise, the dealer, when he and his opponent stood at six aim six, could always shift the disadvantages from himself, by purposely making a misdeal,” The Georgia University —A correspondent of the Augusta Despatch writes from Athens on the 27th ult.: “I understand in the streets to-day, several ofthe s udents of Franklin College are sellina off then bi >ks, &c., and are going to leave. The cause of h ir leaving I was not able to learn. It was also w jispered to-day there would not be more than twenty-five students in the College at the next c tmmencement, I hope this is not true.” Personal Movements. —Gen. Henuingsen, of the Nicaraguan army, Colonel fcilat'er, Secretary ofthe Waker Go ernment, and the Hon. Mike Walsh, of New York, says the Selma Reporter ot Satur day last, passed down the Alabama river yesterday on the steamer Jones. In a lecture at New Bedford, Theodore Parker remarked that the aristocratic families of Boston began from some barelegged and barefooted an cestors, and by-and-oy will be barelegged and bare s oted again. Theodore probably was born in stockings and shoes. Sincerity does not consist in speaking your mind on all occasions, but in doing it wiien si lence would be censurable, and falsehood inex cusable. ExtrHctH from the Speech of Hou. 51. J. Craw ford on the Kansas Question. We lay an extract of the able speech of our immediate Representative, ou tne admission of Kansas into the Union before our readers. We hare alluded to this speech before, and can only say that it w ill prove worth of a careful pe rusal But, sir lo the question—why is it tiiat Kansas is to b - rejected ? Because her constitution is not republican in form ? No man has yet made such an objection. Because there is not a sufficient popula tion? That is not urged. Then why is it ? First because there is r p"-slavery clause contain-d in the constitution: and second, because it i- asserted that there is a sufficient tHiuioerof“Kansas regula tors” to vote it down. For the sake ofthe argu ment let us admit tiiat those who advocate the Topeka Constitution have a majority. Who are they, and by what right do they come before us to ask admission under their constitution? They are the men who never did, and do not now, recognize our law providing them with a government : thev are the men who went out to take charge of the •Revised S atutes,” and who, in obedience to the great “Appeal” issued from this Capitol, settled in Kansas w ith a fixed determination never to submit to your law, nor any other that might be made un der it. They are those who entered into solemn league and covenant, under oath to resist the laws of Kansas, though that resistance should subvert your Government; thev are the men who set at de fiance all law, human and devine, and com nitted the grossest acts of violence and wrong upon help less and unoffending people ; they are the men against whom Governor SI annon marched with the forces he could command lo quell their insurec tionary movements ; they are the men who came to Coog ess asking admission into the Union un der the Topeka constitution, and whose very peti tion, I believe, the Senate decided to be forgery.— These are the men against whom General Harney was ordered to march to subdue their rebellion in the city olTLsw ranee, and the same who refused to qualify themselves as voters by registering their names : who refused to vote for delegates, or upon the constitution ; and who now, for these reasons, ask you to reject Kansas because they did not choose to exercise their franchises according to law —and more than all, these men who now say to an American Congress, that if you dare to admit Kansas, civil war will he the consequence : we nev er have recognized this government of yours in Kansas, and you must not; we have never lived mule’ it, for we have uniformly resisted its laws.— We have an inherent right to make a government without your authority,and we have made it; un der it we have officers and we have citizens—un der non--other have we lived ; and under this (the Topeka government) we ask admission into the 1 Union. j How different with those who represent the Le i ompton constitution. In 1854 you passed an act I organizing this Territory : the grant which you gave i was accepted Under it, a Legislature was chn j sen, and laws enacted lor the protection of person | and property ; and as the population increased, | they, tinder recommendation of the hue Chief Mag j is: rate to Congress, suggesting that a Slate govern | inent should be formed, submitted that matter to i the sense of the people ; a majority of the voters in | dorsed the rec- mmendaiimt, and the Legislature ordered an election for delegates to a constitution al convention. All this was regular and lawful; what else was done? In order tiiat only the actu al residents should vote, they provide that no per son should be admitfi and to vote unless he had been a resident inhabitant for three months prior to the el ciion ; and to make assurance doubly surp, they j required that the names of ail persons living in j the Territoty he registered,so that the armed bands ;cf Missourians should he excluded. Congress had 1 extended to them the power to legislate upon all ‘rightful subjects, and to determine who should, at j all elections after theJiVsf, continue the voters.— ; in the exercise of this gran< of power, they prescri ! tc tl who snould he voters and who should not i This law was constitutional and valid—therefore | binding. Those who qualified themselves ond- r I it could exerc.se the elective franchise ; those who | did not. were, by their own act, properly excluded, j and most accept the Iruitsof their own obstancy I without c mplaint. The convention therefore was ■in pursuance ot law, and, as a necessary eonse | quence, its action was binding and irrevocable, ex j cept in the proper and iegal mode. The constitu j tion upon your table, sir, is the result of their la- I hors; and. with it, Kansas asks you to admit her. ’ Just at this point she is met with the objection ! that her entire constitution was not submitted to tlie people for ratification ; her answer is, that eigh teen of your thiity-one States did not submit theirs to the peoole, and that eight of the new States now in the Union have been admitted without this re quirement, that it is unjust to put upon her a re striction never before required of others. It is then urged lhat the voters Were compelled to vote for the co .siitut( ti ui v< ting for or against slavery.— How plan il ls soever this objection may be, we i sist that, it should have been made before the con vention of Kansas as a reason tor submitting the whole instrument; but it is a question that comes not properly before us. The delegates were au thorized and instructed by tlie law, calling the, con vention, to frame a State constitution, but upon the subject of sutiiiii ting their work to the people, they were left untrammeled and uninstructed, there fore free. Being thus clothed with sovereign power to make a constitution, they were clothed with the right to submit the, whole, or a part, or none of their labors as thev might detei mine ; and these are questions not for us to enquire into or decide.— That convention, unlimited as it was bv iegat en actment, possessed all the power that it would have had if e..tv man in Kansas had been a member, and voted upon each article and section until the whoie was complete ; this being true, when that constitution was made it expressed the voice and will of the people as though they had been pres ent, and Irom that judgement of the sovereignty of Kansas there lies no appeal. If this be not suffi cient answer, she points you to your own act of 1854, where you expressly secured to her the right to form ami regulate her institutions in her own way, and conferred up n her tlie power to legislate upon all lightful subjects. Shelias, by your per mission and undei your authority, exercised these grants of power, and now presents to you a repub lican form of government and asks you to receive her as a State. There can be and is but one ob jection to her admission and that is, her constitu tion recognizes and protects slavery; but even upon this point sin- is guarded, for she refors you to the pledge made iti advance, that she might be admit ted either with or without slavery as tier own peo ple might determine. But it is urged that although the charges made b ‘ true, and that a majority of the people did cot vote at ail former elections, yet the Lecompton con stitution was voted upon legally and decided against the people on the 4th of January last.— This demands consideration, but is easily over come. The ques'ion made is, that the Legislature ofthe Territory, called by Secretary Stanton, di rected that a vote should be taken against the con s’ it tion, and that this L-gislaiure was legally as sembled, and possessed power to semi to the peo ple the Lecompton constitution for adoption or rejection. Oor answer is, that the Legislature cal ling the convention and clothing it with power might have limited it in its action, and required the whole constitution to be submitted to the peo ple; but as it failed to do so, then the convention was free to act as it thought proper, and no sub sequent Legislature could trammel or direct its action. To hold that the Legislature was su perior in power and sovereignty to the convention, tor if ii could direct and control this subject and thus defeat the constitution, it would be the higher power, and in possession of attributes unknown to legislative bodies. This Legislature could pass any law within the scope of its jurisdiction, but nothing more; the power once enjoyed by the Legislature had passed away from it, and the sub ject was above and beyond its reach; the door was closed ; the act was nugatory; and the election was as much without effect as though it had been upon the Kansas act, instead of the constitution. It on ly remains to be seen whether it will offer a reward to the rebellious spirit which has existed in Kan- sa- front the passage of the organic act to this time. Tlie Great question underlying all th.s contro versy is slave: > ; the Republicans ot the North have deteimined tiiat no more slave ISiates snail be added to the Union. The American Democra cy ha.- pledged itself to sustain each sovereign com munity in the right to determine for itself whether it will have slavery or not, and that in the admis -i’ ll of new States this right will be recognized in its full—t sen-e. Whenever this doctrine shall he repudiated by the northern Democracy then a to :- joritv in the Government ceases to recognize our equality, and the America Union must necess.ri v bet'"nie our bitterest foe, and all will see tiiat thong i there may he a Union on paper, there will he none in sentiment nor affection. Alu-ad is the southern mind awakened to tlie enquiry, “of what great service to the South is the Union?” Sh“ sees that within her borders tier productions are of the annual value of near two hundred million dollars ; that a very heavy per cent of this sum passes into the hands of northern men, who merely act as our agents in th ■ shipment and sales which are made fiir us abroad ; they see that the impor tations into the United States are principally paid for by the products of the South, and that these too pass again through northern hands, and another heavy per cent, charged thereon, all of which must be taxed upon the peopeie of her section. The well informed men ofthe North understand full well the bearing of this subject upon their interest. We call attention to the remark, in this count ciion, of s leading journal in the North in reference to this matter. Tilt-Herald says, in one of its issues: “We believe that the Union, southern niggers, and southern e ■ ton have paid, and continue to pay, such'hannsome dividends to the North, that we cannot do without them ; and we think, too, in consideration ofthe heavy ptofitsjpvhich the North thus‘r alizes’from the South, that an adherence to the practic'd coo.promises of the Constitution, with up occasional concession in behalf of southern slavery, can he no very violent stretch of northern reciprocities or northern magnanimity.” i We ask you for no concessions in onr favor, we “lily demand the ‘‘practical compromises o! the Constitution,” nothing more; and so far as my voice, my vote, and my influence may go, I will never be satisfied with anything less than these.— We therefore call upon northern Denn crats t “stand by the flag;” it is borne aloft by the strong arm and patriotic heart of one of your ow n gallant chieftains; and under this same leader, and with this same banner, you have met and driven back the cohorts of northern Republicans in theirstrong and steady march towards the nation’s Capitol ; “ill you mow hen this last conflict is upon us, let the columns waver, or will you tire the last shot which secures a perpetual triumph to law, to order, and the Constitution ? REMARKS OF HON. A. IVfgft.SON. OF GEORGIA, ON THE ARMY BILL, Delivered in the U. S. Senate, February, 41 h, 1858 Tiie Senate having under consideration the bill to increase the Army of the United States, by ad ding thirty companies lo the existing force, Mr. Iverson fsaid: I Mr. President: As lam a member of the com mittee on military affairs, that reported the hill un der consideration, and g ive my support to tlie measure in committee, as I shall do in this body, i Leg leave very briefly, to state tlie reasons which commend it to my favorable consideration. When the question of increasing the army was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, as Contained in the message of the President and the recommendation ofthe War Department, of course the first point to be determined yy the committee was, whether there was a necessity or propriety for making any increase at all. The committee, after mature deliberation, came to ihe conclusion ffiat there was not otdy a propriety, but a necessity, under existing circumstances, for an increase of the regular force. I agreed with a majority of tlie committee in t at conclusion, and that is my opin ion now Hat iug come to the conclusion that an increase of the regular force was necessary and expedient, the next question was, in what way that increase should be rnadi ? Tlie President and Secretary of War recommended the arldit on of five new regiments-—for, although tiie President in Ids annual message, called for only four regi ments, the S-cretary oi War, in his report asked for five; and it is to be presumed, that it was only an inadvertanceon the part ot the President, and that five regiments were, in fact, wanted. The plan suggested by the Committee on Mili tary Affairs, [as differing Irom that recommended by the government] of adding two companies to each of the ten regiments of Infantry, and tlie five regiments of mounted troops, struck my view as the most exped ent and proper one, for several reasons. In the first place, if you add new regiments to to the army, to answer present purposes, and to ac complish pressing necessities when the emergen cy passes, and you desire t • reduce or diminish the force, if will be very difficult to do so. It is almost impossible to cut down a ii to- containing so many officers, w ho are to he thrown out of pro fitable and acceptable employment. You may get rid of the rank and file at pleasuri—you may dis band any number ot privates at will, but it is no easv matter to get rid of officers, especially those of a higher grade. Although the proposed in crease of the army is at present demanded, in my judgment, hy the pressing necessities of the public service.yet the time may conn, and I trust it will, when there will be no necessity Uir its contiuance, and Congress m its wisdom, may desire to reduce it. It can be done much more readily by disban ding regiments with their iarge and influential corps of field and staff officers. Th sw as the principal reason which controlled my preference for the plan presented by tiie committee to that recommended by the Pre-id;- ,t and Secretary of War. But, sir, tiie more important question occurs, whether there should be any increase to onr regu lar force? I believe that such increase ought to be made, not only to answer the present ext et cv ol the service, but for the future and permanent pur poses of employment. The present exigency is the Mormon war. 1 call it a war —it is not a war io the technical sense of Ihe term—it is a rebellion of the M'niton people m ifie Territory of Utafi, which it becomes necessary and proper, on the part of the United States Government, to suppress and crush. 1 ask . enators, if tins rebellion is to be permitted to go unpunished? If the authority and laws of the Federal Government are to be suffered to be put at defiance? Are gentlemen prepared to allow this imperium in imperio to exist, which Brilliant Young and his deluded and fanatical followers have set up in Utah? lam ot.-e of those who be lieve that as long as we have a government, the laws of that government, under the Constitution, should be enforced in evtry p r of the country — its dignity preserved—its authority vindica ed and is constitutional will executed in every State ard Territory of the Union. I believe that this re bellion, or insurrection, or whatever you u.av please to term it—this armed resistance oi the Mormons in Utah, should be crushed, and crushed speedily and effectually, even if it be necessary to sacrifice the life of every one found engaged in it. And now, sir, wiiat is the condition and strength ot the Mormon people— hat the aspect and extent ot this rebellion ? What force will it require to overcome and crush it ? I think, Mr. President, that Senators are disposed to put too slight tin estimate up on the strength and power of this Mormon oli garchy. My information is much at tault, if the Mormon force is to be as much despised, as some gentlemen seem to thi ik it ought to be. The most reliable information which has been received from Utah, justifies the belief, that Brgham Young can muster into the field four or rive thousand effective troops, from his own followers. And we are told, and have reason to believe, that he h is firmed a li ances with neighboring Indian tribes, and secured the active co-operation of a large savage force, al ready incensed against the people of ihe United States and ever ready to strike a blow against the P. H, COLQUITT, Editor. , Government forces w henever a favorable opportu lilt’ occurs — cases and considerations, which all can see and understand, will give the Mormon Prophet an unlimited control of those savages ai.d warlike bands that roam the plains, and live upon plunder and w ar. With these elements of strength combined, the power ofthe Mormons is. bv no means, to be despised by this Government. Four or five thousand effective troops, well armed and equipped as we understand they are—disciplined as they tit and lubtedly will lie hy the coming epT g — fighting on their own soil, and, as they believe m defence of their own country, their religion their fiinili-s end firesides — with a superior knowledge ol tiie country, with abundant supplies, inspired by confidence in their leaders, and infuriated by fa naticism, may well be considered a formidable ene my, and cannot be despised even by the govern ment of the United Sta es. Sir, in my opinion, it will require a much larger force to overcome them than tlie small, though gallant army, which you have in the fit-id, ami preparing to take it in this hazardous campaign. What, sir, is the extent of the force which you have already sent against them — and what tlie reinforcement that have been or dered to join that army in the spring? The whoie effective regular force of Colonel Johnson, now ett camped in the. Rocky mountains, does not exceed eighteen hundred men —lo which may be added a few companies of organized teamsters and other army followers, and making an aggregate of not over two thousand men, all told. And what por tion of this tmesis likely to be efficient and avail aife at the opening of tiie campaign in tiie spring? l’.-nt up in the frozen regions ofthe mountains of Utah— stiff ring ali the hardships of an extreme northern winter —with scanty supplies of fond— harressed, as they may and probably will be, by ths enemy, and death from inevitable causes, thinning their ranks —how many of these brave men will be left to protect the hotter and vindicate the author ity of your government, when the period arrives for them to march into the enemy’s country and crush this audacious rebellion ? Can such a force conquer tlie Mormons with ail the advantages which that people will possess—of superior num bers—of fresher vigor, of equal discipline—and a perfect knowledge ol the country which is to be the scene ofthe operations? No, sir. Nothing lint disaster and defeat would await them. llow far ha’s the Government the power, and to what extent can it reinforce the Army in Utah, from its present Military establishment? All the force that lias as yet been ordered forward, or is preparing to join the advance, consists ol one regi ment of cavalry one of infantry, and two compa nies of artillery, which, with a lull complement of men under existing regulations, will not amount to more than fifteen hundred men, and pro: ably by the time it reaches Utah, will not have a thousand effective troop-. Can it be reasonably calculated then, that the force already inthe field and the rein forcements ordered to join it, can nr will exceed three thousand men, when the army takes up its line of inarch for the city of tiie Mormons next spring? I- that a sufficient force to meet and over* i come the formidable array ol infuriated Mormons and blood thirsty savages which tfiey are likely to encounter? Ido not believe that it is. And, sir, Irom what sources can the government draw other troops of the regular line to add to those detail ed for service in Utah ? Sir, it cannot be i one Ironr the Atlantic States, or those stationed this side of the Rocky mountains. It i” now well understood that Gen. Scott is to proceed in a few davs to Cali fornia, to organize a force front tiiat quarter for the Mormon war; and where are l lie regular troops on that side of our country that may be brought into tiiat service? There are not troops enough in Cal ifornia, Ort gon and Washington, at this tinn, to protect the people of those distant countries from the hostilities of tiie Indian tribes. Out ofthe one hundrtd and ninety-eight companies which com pose your regular Army, one hundred and eighty five of them are now either actually in the field or stationed at distant frontier posts, guarding and protecting your people from Indian hostilities and barbarities. Ot your whole attny there are not fif teen companies guarding the whole Atlantic and Gulf coast, and garri-niiing the fortifications erected lor their defence. Can any of tin se compai.i she spared to reinfoice tlie army in Utah? Can you take aiy troops from Florida ? A war is now ac tually in progress in Floiida, with a hostile band ol savages, greatly incensed against the U. States, and wa ching every opportunity to make tfiejr in roads upon the frontier settlements. If you with draw the regular troops in Florida now engageo in the war wi h the Seminole", their place must be supplied by a volunteer force. Even now, so press ing are the calls of Ihe atmy in other quarters, and the scanty number of its ranks that to prelect tlie people of Florida from the hostile Indians, and cam on the war with a view to their necessary ex pulsion and removal west, a considerable force has been brought into the field—a force in no respect more efficient, and always more expensive, than regular troops. Sir, not a man of your troops can be taken from Florida, consistent wiih the safety ofthe people of that State and the interests ofthe Government. Will you withdraw any portion of your troops serving on the borders of Texas ? Can any part ofthe two regiments now employed to protect the wide extended and exjre-ed frontier of iYxas, betaken to send to Utah? Are the people of Texas, to be left to the tomahawk and scalping knife of tlie marauding and savage bands who roam over the western plains and prairies? Why, sir, only a lew days ago a denian i cante from tlie Legislature of Texas, calling upon Congress to au thorize the formation of a volunteer regiment of mounted rangers, for the protection and security of their people, in addition to your own troops now engaged in that defence. Your regular army must be increased in Texas if you wish to defend the inhabitants from the dan gerous and destructive inclusions Irom New Mexi co? !Sir, the.most wari.ke and powerful tribes of the western Indians, the Apaches and Nevajos, are there, ever ready and anxious to strike the frontier settlements of the whites, when occasion invites and Ihe absence of a military force gives them impunity. The people of New Mexico must he defended, and there a volunteer force cannot be obtained. Regulars alone ran be employed in that arduous and essential service. Then, as to onr Pacific possessions— how can you take any men frem that section to employ against the Mor mons ? You have to guard the frontier settlements of California, Oregon and Washington, and the fact is already demonstratedhhat the rvgular troops there have not been adequate to the absolute de mands of the service, and that large numbers of volunteers have b’en called out to aid in Ihe sup pression oflndian hos' :i itics. Looking, then, to the condition ami strength ol your army in every sec tion ofthe Uni- n, there is not a single point from which you can spare forces to join the Utah army. Tilt- whole available r> inforcements which the com manding General has been able to spare from oth er points, consists of Iwo regiments and a few de tached com panic—making the Utah am y a force of not exceeding three thousand or thirty-live hun dred men. It, for the want of adequate reinforce ments that army shall meet with disaster ; if from considerations ot eneonomy or other cause, you withhold a proper succo to that army, and it shail he cut up or driven back by the Mormons : n the spiing,jwhat a terti: le responsibility would fail upon o. riflemen for withnolding such an in crease ;o the military establishment as won and ei a t)le the go l ernment to save that arinv from de struction, and ensure success to the expedition. Is lhat gailant itple army to be exposed to the risk • ol disaster, to the disgrace of defeat, because it may cost a few millions of doll-rs to strengthen and make it invincible? l< money to be put in the scales against the blood ot that army[? God forbid that it should! Sir, if it were necessary to send ten thousand men to reinforce the army, and expend a hundred millions to crush tins'rebellion, I would encounter it all, rather than the lives of one hundred of your troops should be sacrificed to M rmon ferocity. Your Utah army must be reinforced. If it can not be done with Regulars, it must be by calling out volunteers. lam opposed to the latter on ac count of the increased expense always attendant upon volunteer troops in the field, the insubordinate character of such troops, their general inefficiency, without sufficient drilling aud dicipline, and thai Number 11
