The Mormons

THE MORMONS.—A letter in the Washington National Intelligencer presents some very startling views of the power and design of the Mormons. It is written by a gentleman who is said to have lately spent twelve months in the Salt Lake Valley, engaged in business connected with the transit of mails through the Territory to and from the Pacific. He confirms fully the statements of Judge Drummond, and insists upon the necessity of taking some very prompt and decisive measures to protect the country from the dangers which threaten it from that quarter. He says the Mormons are 100,000 strong in Utah, besides having 200,000 spies and agents scattered throughout the country, and being in close alliance with 300,000 Indians upon our Western border.
