Congress, in 1850, granted them a territorial government under the name of Utah. The President of America appointed Brigham as the governor of Utah for the first term of four years. Since that time large bodies of emigrants have flocked in. The California excitement drove thousands through Salt Lake, who left much money and property for food. At this time, many of the Mormons were inspired by the most resolute fanaticism ; others imbued with sentiments of religious veneration for their leader ;... and all pledged to support a cause that, whether good or 25 bad, could not fail to redound to the glory of the Mormon kingdom, and promote the interests of their church. They were at full liberty to form such laws as suited them ; to establish precedents and decisions, conformable to their own views ; and, above all, the utter impossibility of escape or appeal, exercised a wonderful influence over the dissatisfied, and aided more than anything else in causing them to abide by their fate, and conform to the circumstances in which they were placed.
