Show THEY WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED athas IT has been telegraphed through the country that the utah commission complained because the leaders of the I 1 mormon church iu in some authoritative and explicit manner had not declared against plural marriages and also that those leaders had continued in the tabernacle and elsewhere to teach the people the doctrine of polygamy these it was made to appear constituted two of the great objections against the mormons cormons Mor mons 1 the declaration of president woodruff forms a complete answer to this and ought to be authoritative and explicit enough to satisfy anybody but it is not either to some members of the utah commission or some portions of the american press the thing they have asked for is not the thing they wan want tand and if the whole church were to arise and repudiate the doctrine of plural marriage declare their disbelief in it and if every man who has a plural wife were to utterly discard forsake and cast her off for time and eternity it would make little or no difference to the hostility against the mormon church and people the history of the latter day saints has demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that it is useless for them to attempt to plea please the world or satisfy the demands made upon theria them by their enemies no matter what they may say it would not remove their opposition to the church and their hatred of the saints their encroachments encroach ments will never be stopped by submitting to their clamors but every point yielded will only encourage them in their oppressions oppress ions and increase their determination to destroy if the saints were to give up one tenet alleged to be the great object of aversion another would be objected to with equal dislike and similar demands and so on with every point receded from until the creed of the church would be eli entirely obliterated and the saints themselves be trodden under foot as they would deserve to be some of the most impertinent and unprincipled of the haters baters of the cormons mormons Mor mons may flatter themselves that the action of Pre president woodruff in announcing certain facts and giving counsel on a very important matter was taken to meet their demands aud quiet their outcries if so they are very much mistaken and their continued noise and dissatisfaction prove the point we have here advanced what they have pretended to want affords them no content it does not appease their wrath it does not still their tongues to it does not decrease their venom tho fhe declaration of Pres president idem woodruff was published because he wished to make known his position ou on the matter that he explained the course he had bad pursued his firm intention and his counsel to the church over which he presides it was not done with a view to placate the agitators or quiet the disturbers disturb ers it was done boue because he considered it right and timely whatever is done by the church or its leaders or its members should always be done in this spirit be sure aure you are right then go ahead never mind what the world may may gay or do never think to gain their favor by yielding to their requirements who when a tiling thing is right do it when it is wrong or unwise refrain from it let the wicked rage liet let the ghe heathen imagine vain things but be not swerved to the right or the left by what they may howl for nor think for a moment that they will ever be satisfied |
