A grave question has arisen or is about to arise ameng the American people as to the) course myst proper to be pursued by the gov-} of the Governor (not elected by themselves bug . erpment of the tes habitants of Uta he question of recognizing the United States, towards the in-} right of the; inhabitants of our Territorics to assert their. own sovereivnty and to govern themselves, not settled by the pa Nebraska bili, or at Was} ssage of the Kansas nize in Brigham Young and his coadjutors the . and . . : ; such regulations as were deemed necessary for its government. Subsequently, a Legislature ie was allowed to the Territory by act of Con. . gress, the members of which were however ap. pointed also by the President. . convenience afterwards, the inhabitants were permitted to elect their own members of the Legislature—the election to take place on the day and to be conducted in the manner preseribed by Congress, and with the further provision that in addition to the veto power sent from the states) Congress should supervise . their legislation, and upon review of any bill: which might be passed, whatever its character, should have the power to render it a nullity — Congress did exercise this power until Florida . become a State, and did, on more than one oc. least was not so finally casion, put her foot on laws which had been . settled that our people are disposed to recog: . passed by the Legislature. Again, during the days of the Territorial full right to establish in territory which must . government of Florida, the Territory borrowbecome an Americaa state the wholesale sysed large sums tem of Potsgamy, now among his and their} tullowers. The question comes back again to no less a! body than ihe American people, not to a few refused to p politicians who for their own purposes origi: nated the Kansas and Nebraska bill, but to the men—the christian men who constitute the peeple of the American States, whether or not the Mormon population of Utah, ander the head 9i the elders of their church, shall establish ia one ef ihe tuirest portions of our Terri‘ory a community, every feature in the social organization of which is as repugnant to every it is the recognized precepts and teachings of chriswelt received nection of social order as to! tianity. True the écetrine of Sqnatter Sovereignty extent at re of the bill referred to as sand Nebraska bill, but then the devire was set up ina matter wherein a Jarge . bre deen, to son least, a popular ly ore eines the pas DI the Aaenss portion of che American people deemed that ! iis assertion could work no wrong, and withour *xercising the caution which should haye o } ho Sovereignty in the inhabitants of the Terri: . , tory, and insisted that if any responsibility was, . ineurred at all the responsibility rested with . of money in Europe, (some three millon of dollars) upon bouds issued by authority of the Legislature, signed by the Governor, the United States. They said, and with reason, that the Legislature who passed the law au-thorizing the loan was elected by the inhabitants only by permission of the gencratgovern‘ment, and that the Governor who bad upproved the billand signed the bonds, was but the agent of the general government. Now after all that has been said upon the “subject of Sqnatter or Territorial Sovereignty, does not the Kansas and Nebraska bill reeog. nize to its fullest extent the right of the genera goyernment to exercise like powers over , these Territories ? rics of said Territories, &e. entirely inconsistent with any rdea of Sovereignty in the inhabAs a matter of Deatu or Nicnoras.—Although this event has been announced with all formality in the English parliament, and is generally credited by the English press, we /must doubt it till more full confirmation. Equal eredence was given to the reported New District.—The Governor has approved the bill creating anew judicial district of Nevada, Sierra and Plumas counties, and accompanied his approval with objections to a portion of it requiring him to appoint a judge, and recommending a South Yuba Ditches. “ George W. Kidd” and “ James Whartenby’ complain of the “talents of misrepresentation and abuse,” &c., of the Editor of the Nevada Jovenat in reference to their ditch, and show their sincerity by atone of abuse Sas \interfere.” In falsification of these pledges Coré-onion would say, ve we ant and alt they seized a moment when the English comwe ery for is “‘wacher! wathev'!

They and their satelites went this very season to the very spot where the survey of the South Yuba Ditch terminated on the Yuba, with a force of about forty men, and jumped the position for the dam of the South Yuba Company. When they were ex: postulated with for this act of aggression, they refused to yield the position, and by force held it against the South Yuba Company, compelling the latter to commence suit to gain their rights, or to abandon their plan of getting the water into Omega, &e.
