Utah and South Carolina.
When that abominable nest of murder, incest and polygamy, the Territory of Utah which it is no figure of speech to call a Sodom was in open rebellion against the General Government, Mr. Buchanan sent Peace Commissioners with the Army, to offer Utah the Olive Branch, before the Sword was drawn.--To South Carolina, a sovereign State, one of the most civilized, virtuous, and exemplary of Christian communities, where, so great is the purity of domestic life, not a divorce has occurred since the Revolution, he sends no Peace Commissioners — he sends only the Sword--and when she sends Peace Commissioners to him, his officer in Charleston harbor avails himself of their absence to commit hostile acts, and the expostulations of the Commissioners are received in such a manner by the President that they are compelled to give up the mission, and return, as they came to their home.
