entirely give it ii up P I 1 below we give some extracts fro from a discourse delivered in the tabernacle april 17 1853 of the prophets opinion of what he be called the a sect in this country who had the intelligence and courage ta t leave mormonism and we will venture the opinion farther from what we see hear and know in this community that to use the language of the razor strop man there are a few more left nay a great many it will also te be the rr professed prophet 0 of the he lo 10 lord rd speaks very cry humiliating y about riches and gives a dash 0 of f his own personal experience what

thil cay called gladden ites we hav hai e been pretty severe upon them but nowhere except in the pulpit to my know knowledge ledge I 1 counsel my brethren to keep away from their houses lot let them alone and alid treat anat them as courteously as you woud any other person ho do you inquire v whether hether I 1 have any grounds for ghin this advice I 1 an all sw BW er I 1 have for abere are few

bishops writing ting it if it were wee r possible ible his system is more foolish than the tha exhibition 0 of tree free masonry I 1 have referred to I 1 wish this community to understand that u what hat has been said b here ere touching those men and their views ie asha has a been with no other design than to cause them to use their tongues as they ought and cease abusing me ani this people some 0 of them visited me 5 yesterday esterday and v wished to know it if it w waa as safe tor for III ein to stay heie I 1 told then them they were as sate safe as I 1 was if they did not undertake to nae us swallow sallow whether or not something we I 1 are not willing to take we have been driven I 1 and re arii driven en said 1 I and it if corrupt people I 1 stay in in our midst they have hav e got to use I 1 their tongues properly they promised tey would if i they night might stay if they wish w ish to live here in in peace I 1 am willing they should but 1 I do not wish them to stir up strife I 1 never neer expected that this community would be composed entirely of latter day saints but 1 expected were bere xv would be goats mixed among the sheep until they are separated I 1 do not look for any thing else else but I 1 wish abera then to behave thern abs tbs n selves in their sphere also the sheep ard let the goats associate with their goatish companions end and riot not endeavor to esturb the th equanimity of the sheep in their pasture this comparison will apply to this people and those men if they wish w ish to labor and obtain a living they are to do so but they are not at liberty to disturb th the e peace ot their neighbors in in any way neither let this people disturb them but arar geart t them every pilvi lege claimed by and belonging to american citizens let then them meet together and pray if they please this is their own business let them do as some did in a camp meeting in in york state one man met another arid and said ald how flow do you do how are the they getting t t along on the campground camp ground why they are serving god like the v very e r y devil was wa 8 ill ohp r reply I 1 y and the Clad Gladde deni t es may serve god no like the devil I 1 if they will keep out ot of my way and out of way w ay of this people the men who visited me 5 yesterday esterday stated that they believed joseph v as a ti ue prophet and that they w were ere tull full blooded mormons cormons Mor mons indeed they seemed to have in ill them an extra char charge chare e of mormon blood I 1 asked one of them it he had any confidence in in the endowment he confessed confes bed he had no faith n in it I 1 then asked him if he did not believe that joseph smith was v as a fallan prophet iab reply was 1 I rather think he Is is when henaman a man throws a stone at me and with it dashes his own brains out I 1 have nothing to say he called himself himself a full blooded mormon and almost ili in the same breath declared joseph m was as a fallen prophet and that he had no confidence in the endowment how is is it in reality with those men why they have lai e not a particle of faith either in a joseph smith or the look of mormon I 1 told one of them who millo professed to be so lonest honest that he wanted the lord to come down from heaven that moment and judge him icca that five years yeara would not pass away away before he would be cursing and swearing and proclaiming blasphemously against every good principle in heaven and on earth they do not know what they believe nei neither do they know what A hat they have received they think they know that you ate aie out of the right way and that they are walking in in it when they say this people are going to be destroyed by the judgment of godit god it is is to me like the crackling of thorns under the pot pass along and mind your own business is is a fit repty reply to their declarations how many times has he made us poor thousands of dollars worth of property in houses and land which the lord lor gave me are now in the lasty east in the hands ot our e enemies I 1 never said they were mine the they ey were the lords and I 1 was one of his stewards when I 1 went to kirtland I 1 had bad not a coat in the world for previous to this I 1 had given away everything I 1 possessed that I 1 might be free to go forth and proclaim the plin plarl of salvation to the inhabitants of the earth rth neither had I 1 a shoe to my feet and I 1 esh had to borrow a pair of pants and a pair of boots boots I 1 stayed there five years and accumulated cumulated aie I 1 y e thousand dollars how do jr iou hunk hink I 1 accomplished this why the lord d me those means I 1 have often had t that 1 bat done for me that has caused caused m me e to marvel I 1 know as well veil as aa I 1 knew lam ra

ask an it apostate po tate if they can in truth bear testimony to such ch a thing they cannot do it bough about out that i acain ain I 1 as say if mormonism is is not all I 1 anticipated t ci abed it to be it is is nothing nott liya ln if it 13 not in in me and I 1 in in it if it is 13 not at all and in all to I 1 me I 1 am deceived ili in myself it is is ever every y thing in heaven and on earth to those m who ho possess it truly but lose loie this and as aa I 1 told you the other day what remains will w ill divin d in dl als perish decay decompose and be reduced to its native element elemen tp or in other words be thrown into the mill to be ground over we take the following extract from a letter written in in april last and which was picked up on the road it was written in in this city in in french and directed to a lady in st louis it shows the fanaticism of mormonism and the ridiculous pretensions of that saint brigham young who ensconced in in his corrall corral has so often mislead and deceived this people by his so called revelations and prophecies we have every reason to believe that the eyes 0 of f the people are being opened and that they are beginning begia ning to look with contempt upon their spiritual rulers who fatten upon their heir grow rich from the honest sweat that drips from their brows s it is the in masses aaa a who suffer whose earrings under a

institutions and events the changes of time and fluctuation of nf fortune is 13 certainly not unworthy of serious refection I 1 am induced to allude to this subject from the evident signs of decline in in many of the external indications of this virtue as aa it is is here understood among the saints of these hies latter days and confess myself at a loss to account for the luke hike warmness that has prevailed during the present winter it was not so BO formerly as may maybe be perceived by the contrast between the cold I 1 apathetic and insipid discourses dean ered recently by professor pratt and those spirited ex extracts which have appeared from time to time ii the valley tan 71 and mark the enthusiasm of former times you have doubtless read many of or the dis courses from which you have quoted and felt somewhat amused at their intrepidity but if you could only have been present to behold the orators writhing under the influence of the most violent emotions to hear those heated sentences ringing in in your ears with all those hose embellishments of music music which br carrington so wantonly clips out the effect upon your mind must certainly have been greatly lightened perhaps you would have imagined yourself in in the presence of the athenian orator hurling philippics philip at the king of macedon and perhaps you would not when the mind reverts back it seems but a
