The delegate from Utah will, after the organiza¬ 
tion ol the House, present the application of that 
Territory for admission to the Union. They 
adopted a Constitution several years ago. He 
represents that Utah has a population of 100,000, 
and that if the Mormons were allowed to elect 
their officers, they would be almost as well satisfied 
with a territorial as a State organization, and 
probably would be willing to pay the expenses of 
their Government besides. 
It is said that a sharp correspondence has 
passed between the'Consul of the new Alntaden 
Mining Company, of California, and the Attorney I 
General, Secretary of State, and the President, in 
respect to the instructions issued to the Consul in 
Mexico, not to take testimony there as a Notary, 
as is authorized by act of Congress. The Consul 
claims that the instruction is equivalent to the 
suspension or abrogation of the Jaw and without 
precedent; an invasion of the rights of citizens, 
injurious in its ©fleet and of dangerous import. 
There are rumors here of a military organiza¬ 
tion for Mexico in aid of the Liberalists. There 
is no doubt that the organization of rnlmitM«

regarded slavery us a government and social evil, 
and treated it accordingly. New York still main¬ 
tains the same position. She emphatically disa¬ 
vows all sympathy or co-operation with those 
misguided men who, no matter under what provo¬ 
cation, have sought in the past, or who may seek 
in the future, unlawfully to interfere with the 
institutions of any of her sister States.”
