Show I Our Free Country ! It iSbtwithstanding this great Re public boasts itself of being free! f its officers allow bigots to tyranize r 'v and persecute even a woman, as I the federal ring are now doing j Miss Nellie White, who is imprisoned im-prisoned for not belittleing herself to answer impudent and improper cjuestions, under the guise of carrying carry-ing out the law! and while she is incarcerated she is denied anything but rough, unmanly treatment, that even a native would not be guilty of. I The officials have overstepped the bounds of the law, by treating her as a criminal when no criminality has been proven! "Were it not the "Poor deluded Mormons" that these Utah officials are dealing with, some of them (the officials ) would have felt the extremity extrem-ity of a rope before this, but we believe be-lieve in subjecting quietly to the persecutions until the day of recompense, re-compense, when "all they that do wickedly, shall burn as stubble," and we are "rejoicing in hope; Patient Pa-tient in tribulation;" and "bless I them which persecute." We are not of a retalliating spirit ; but leave ourselves in the hands of God who rules all things, and if we remain firm to the Truth we will come out victorious. |
