Show Another Gentilw's Views. Salt Lake, June 15, 1877. Ed i tots Herald: Though a Gentile myavlf, I can see too plainly the injustice of many of my class in this city. I therefore ask as a favor that you publish the enclosed en-closed to Bhow that there are at least some Gentiles who have a slight idea of honor. Man naturally looks forward for-ward to the time when be can sit in the shade of his fig tree and be at ease. He therefore struggles with all energy to obtain the good tbiugs of tli is life and particularly employs all his capabilities to appear well in the eyes of the world; not always, however, how-ever, will he be carelul to act ia the right. To obtuiu distinction he sometimes lives, acts and writes in utter opposition to bis convictions. Tune, (or instance, the case of one ol the correspondents now residing in Salt Lakf ; can any one, Mormon or Gentile, Gen-tile, lor a moment believe that tbe "honorable" gentleman believes or can sustain his arguments for any length of time? No. Not a Biugle I person of any intellect would have have the audacity to stand up and artriert liia hplinf in anr-h a ttian Ha represents a sensational journal looked upon by nono as a reliable sheet. Compare the New York Herald with the New York Times. Iu tbe Times you see a journal looked up to by ihe people as worthy of their approbation, while the Herald is credited only by the ignorant, and by the people as a whole it is considered a small edition of the Arabian Nights. Tiuth must prevail, and though the N. Y. Herald may for a lime cause people to wonder and slur against Salt Lake, it will not be long before Ihe east will find that the minions ol JameB Gordon Bennett, have fai'ed iu their base project to bring war and devastation in this the paradise of the west. Patience for a little, and all will be well. '1 he clouds that to day may appear to cloud the sky will break away, and all men be on teums of friendship. My sentiment is, if thero boa been crime committed let the law decide and punish the guilty ones. Until then, out of respect lo the indomitable perseverance and courage, the Mor-uious Mor-uious should be held up as an example ex-ample of industry and honor. A Gentile. |
