on progressing in size and good humor till it occupied your whole face but the moment you got control of your countenance and regained your natural equilibrium how soothing yet with what force and determination you uttered my doom consigning me to dyers Dy hotel for six calendar months etc your words fell on my oai 8 and pr evaded my nasal organ like the of cheese raised by the honey dews of the tender shoots of agna fortis and as strong as the seeds of dutch mustard and oh that shrill voice it still grates on my lug like the filing of saws but notwithstanding the numerous bad breaks and fatal blunders you made while clothed with judicial authority still I 1 deem you quite harmless and natural as free irom guile as an angleworm and with sufficient innocence in your physiognomy to fit out a bowery street sunday school you are a plain homespun modest man having struggled from the obscurity to which an unlucky star had doomed you till you have risen like a bright exaltation in the evening to the summit of human disgust just as a gosling grows up to be a great boosa pardon the expression yen profess no principle unfortunately you have none sad eventa but who can control his batet no doubt you were intended by nature for a great statesman and had you but lived in the days of hanibal you should have beaten that great chieftain he never could ao himself of the arduous labors and duties devolving upon a fourth class pettifogging judge with the that you displayed while in the act of passing sentence upon a victim of senator edmunds ais true when you made your advent among these wicked cormons mormons Mor mons you came with the flourish of trumpets but how different the seene to gaze on when you made your exit not a sound was heard not a funeral note but to go back to the good old days of yore when first your slender form perambulated our streets you then professed to be a true follower of the taeok and lowly being armed with documentary evidence purporting you to be a full grown sacerdotal dispenser of methodism and my mind reverts back and in fancy do I 1 behold you as you nimbly alighted from off the buckboard buck board with your lone companion A hand me down two bit gripsack the insignia of office which is at present known as a carpetbag carpet bag but how time will change all things cheap judges included at that period of your eventful career you seemah happy and every wrinkle in your face betokened contentment though you were not the happy possessor of a red cent in your pockets or a change of summer apparel but you felt to endorse the old adage that a light heart and a thin pair of breeches go merrily through the world in due time you become acquainted you batched cat ched on got used to the ropes good use of them You worked the thing for all there was in it you beheld in a glorious field in which you could accomplish com a land office business in the matter of gaining notoriety you seemed to say talk not to me of the oriental gorgeousness ot missouri tell mo not in mccants wild of the fairy scenes which poets who revel in the great warm bath of eastern imaginations agi nations love to paint with golden pens on leaves of satin for they all vanish like dew in the morning sun compared to utah in coining shakes and relentlessly persecuting those wicked cormons mormons Mor mons but at present it is apparent that you are doomed to political oblivion and BO am I 1 but your party coming into power and assuming the reins sf government yon may possibly stand a show to be reinstated which will no doubt gratify and satisfy your appetite for filthy lucre and the odium connected with your carpetbag carpet bag aspirations but in the event that you remain on the shelf and victory does not perch on your banner unsolicited I 1 will come to the rescue by giving yon a few pointers when equipped with these and you get a move on you I 1 am confident they will establish confidence and judicial ability on your part in the eyes of the chief executive say to the president that though the state of missouri you thank for your existence still the gilgar appellation of is in nowise connected with your reverend cognomen from the established fact i that you never vomit or disgorge yourself of anything stronger obnoxious or more nauseating than pure essence of mormon hatred then approach him tenderly on the state chestnut of mormon statehood state to him in emphatic terms that if these traitorous cormons mormons Mor mons are granted statehood that the first move make will be to change the republican motto of our dear country from that of edlu bibus unum to that of a blunderbuss shoot em then on to you state your patriotism and the undying love you possess for your native land missouri its institutions tut ions and the rigid enforcement of its laws especially the edmunds law give him a gentle reminder of the paralyzing dread the po lyga entertain for you and the condition you found the territory in especial ly the portion thereof that your presence graced for the past eighteen years how yon intend to hold the co habs in subjection and in the pen do not fail to tell him that the edmunds law or its unconstitutional companion the edmunds tucker bill has no more loosening effect upon the religious belief of the cormons mormons Mor mons than castor oil would have upon a graven image in conclusion I 1 enjoin upon you the necessity in the final roand to inflate your lungs expand your chest and strike an attitude ala a la john L sullivan and turn her loose thusly though the
