 OF THE 
 
 LEGISLATUKE AND CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION OF 
 UTAH TERRITORY, 
 
 PRATING 
 
 The admission of said Territory into the Union as the State of Deseret. 
 
 JUNE 9, 1862. Referred to the Committee on the Territories, and ordered to be printed. 
 
 To the honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
 States of America in Congress assembled : 
 
 GENTLEMEN: We, your memorialists, the members of the general 
 assembly of the State of Deseret, respectfully state that our pecu- 
 ^liarly isolated position, the well-proven inadequacy of a territorial 
 ^organization to meet the wants of a rapidly increasing population, 
 tnow numbering from eighty to a hundred thousand, a disposition to 
 lessen governmental expenditures when they are, of necessity, so 
 great, and an earnest desire to enjoy those inherent, inalienable, and 
 constitutional rights guaranteed to every American citizen, have in- 
 ..duced the citizens of Utah to unanimously and constitutionally organ- 
 ize a State government, preparatory to their admission into the Union 
 as the " State of Deseret; 77 wherefore your memorialists most respect- 
 fully solicit your honorable body to favorably consider this our peti- 
 tion, and, at as early a day during your present session as other 
 important duties will permit, take action admitting the State of De- 
 seret "into the Union on an equal footing with the original States in 
 all respects whatever. 77 
 
 Adopted by the general assembly of the State of Deseret, on the 
 17th day of April, A. D. 1862.

CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF DESERET. 
 
 MEMORIAL. 
 
 To the honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
 States in Congress assembled : 
 
 Your memorialists, the citizens of the United States in the Terri- 
 tory of Utah, by their delegates in convention now assembled, re- 
 spectfully present this their memorial, humbly praying for admission 
 into the federal Union as a "free and sovereign State, " under the 
 name and style of the State of Deseret, with the constitution here- 
 with presented. 
 
 They do thus the more boldly urge their admission into the family 
 of States, knowing that their claims are based upon their constitu- 
 tional rights, upon constitutional law, and upon their native and in- 
 herent franchise as American citizens. 
 
 The people of the United States, for themselves and their posterity, 
 established a Constitution to secure alike to one and all the blessings 
 flowing therefrom. Wherever American citizens are to be found on 
 American soil, or that portion of it over which the jurisdiction of the 
 Constitution is extended however few their number there and to 
 them is the right given, and to all their future generations bequeathed, 
 to say who shall govern them, and to have a voice in the enactment 
 of the laws by which they shall be governed. If this franchise 
 great, glorious, and sacred as it is be worth anything, it is a fran- 
 chise that the dividing lines of States or Territories cannot annul. 
 
 Your memorialists maintain that self-government is an inherent 
 right of every American citizen; nay, that it is the birthright of 
 every man, bequeathed to him by the Almighty Dispenser of all good 
 gifts. The citizens of Utah enjoy not this right. The executive and 
 judicial departments of the Territory are made up of strangers alike 
 to her customs, her history, her wants, and her interests. 
 
 It has been contended in favor of territorial governments that the 
 pioneers to new territory, in consideration of their numerous priva- 
 tions and the wants and expenses incident to the formation of new 
 settlements, require and are entitled to the fostering care and chari- 
 table aid of the parent government. But shall it be held as sound 
 doctrine by American statesmen and jurists that such care and aid 
 are to be held as an equivalent for the liberty of the citizen? or that 
 the holy birthright as freemen born for self-government should be 
 exchanged for a mess of pottage ? That such care and aid, however, 
 are not required by the citizens of Utah, your memorialists would 
 respectfully call your attention. No trouble or expense is considered 
 burdensome when all is done by the "consent of the governed/' 
 
 The isolated condition of Utah, far removed from the national 
 capital, and the growing importance of her position as the joining 
 link between the Atlantic and Pacific States, should give her, apart 
 from other considerations, a strong claim to be at once introduced 
 and numbered among the family of States. 
 
 The number of the population could not be claimed as a barrier to 
 the admission of Deseret. Her population is ample; but were it not 
 half its present number, still that cannot be an impediment. " The 
 
CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF DESERET. 5 
 
 Constitution," said the present honorable Secretary of State, "does 
 not prescribe 93,700, or any other number of people, as necessary 
 to constitute a State." "The Constitution," he says, in the same 
 speech, (April 9, 1856,) " prescribes only two qualifications for new 
 States, namely : a substantial civil community and a republican gov- 
 ernment." Both of these are claimed by your memorialists for 
 Deseret. 
 
 Why should Deseret be denied the privileges granted to other 
 States which have been admitted ? Call to mind, gentlemen, what 
 Utah has done towards the national welfare. Has she lain in sloth 
 and idleness since 1847 ? or have political wranglings taken the place 
 of industry and the pursuit of the peaceful arts ? Let her fruitful 
 fields; her public and her private buildings; her settlements scattered 
 over five hundred miles from north to south, thriving with numerous 
 populations and musical with the hum of industry; the telegraph 
 and the overland mail; let these testify, in contrast to the bleak, barren 
 deserts found by her pioneers, then the resorts of wild beasts and 
 wilder Indians. 
 
 The constitution herewith presented being genuinely republican; 
 Congress having no power from the Constitution to deny a proper 
 application for admission into the Union, but the full power to admit, 
 and indeed the duty imposed upon them to guarantee unto all the 
 States a republican form of government; the universal call from the 
 citizens being in favor of a State government; the right of repre- 
 sentation with taxation being undeniable, and knowing by experience 
 their ability to sustain themselves in a State organization, your me- 
 morialists numbly ask. and respectfully claim as their unquestionable 
 right, to be admitted into the federal Union or family of States, under 
 the title of the State of Deseret; feeling assured that when they ask 
 for bread from the granaries of freedom you will not give them a 
 stone quarried from the crumbling ruins of colonial despotism. 
 
 The bearers of this memorial and of the constitution and proceed- 
 ings of the convention, with the documents pertaining to the State 
 organization and proceedings of the general assembly, are the sena- 
 tors and the representative who will be elected in accordance with 
 the constitution adopted by the convention; and they are hereby au- 
 thorized to make the necessary application to each house of Congress 
 for the admission of this State into the Union, and \ve bespeak for 
 them the candid hearing and consideration by your honorable body 
 of the aforenamed and such other matters as they may present before 
 you pertaining to the interest and well-being of this rising State; 
 trusting that you will accord unto them the seats in the national 
 councils of our common country to which the partiality of a loyal 
 people has unanimously elected them.
