Excerpt from Message From the President of the United States, Transmitting Information in Reference to the Condition of Affairs in the Territory of Utah: January 9, 1852 Upon the following Sunday, the mayor of the city, Jedediah M. Grant, in eulogizing the strength oi the Mormons, exultingly declared from the pulpit, in presence of one of the undersigned, (mr. Harris, ) that now the United States could not conquer them by arms. Brigham Young, the governor, announced, with great vehemence, from the stand and to individuals, while the feelings of the people were thus ex cited by such sentiments, that he had ruled that people for years, and could rule them again that the United States judges might remain in the Territory and draw their salaries, but they should never try a cause if he could prevent it.
