Show we e have received another letter from man alan ot of but few words and subjoin some extracts from it w without altering in in the least the sense of the whole and w ith no hope either ot of convincing colv inching him because lie he says lie he is a amorton of tu twenty enty years ears standing standing but merely to show the mariner manner in in which intelligent men apologise apologize apol ogise and reason for the ettrup tiong of the church here is is the extract there is is a class of men in in every community if boughe jou agne them an take an ell which has been the case with ith many bloody minded met men among ith this 1 s deop people I 1 e who ho when they have heard th the e mormon leaders enforce the scriptural doctrine that thai there is is no remission remission of sins without the shedding of blood have acted on their own responsibility and put the lavrin la v in force without orders or authority forgetting the great rest fundamental Joc doctrine trine of first plucking the beam out of their own eye ev e and having been placed in in a little brief authority feel their oats cats to such a degree that it sticks out upon the most trivial occasions and such of 0 them as have been the bitterest gentile and apos tate haters baters have burred out to be the greatest geati apostates themselves live and let I 1 live and help to live lie is is my motto but bigotry and intolerance I 1 could never agree with and to me it 16 is 11 in m hatful in in a mormon than in in a gentile because their religion teaches them better things now brigham young as ag the late executive head of 0 the 2 cormons mormons Mor mons I 1 presume had bad as much right to order men to be executed for crimes proved against them while under his jurisdiction uns diction as ag any other presiding pre n iding officer has in this or any other country an and cannot ie be responsible for others who have commit ted overt acts any more than the governor of the state of new york can be responsible for all the gar rotting coining counterfeiting murdering swindling ac done in in the tb territory over which he presides and which it seems has not the power to suppress although he has a complete and numerous staff of officials u whose hose duty it is is to detect and bring to justice but you will say how is is it there are so many leading men among the cormons mormons who have been allowed to retain office officer who have T seen een proved to have been either the instigators or pel perpetrators petra of these overt acts perhaps it may be urged that brigham had it in in contemplation t to deal out justice and judgment to such characters it if be had not been and a course taken by the federal govern ment to overawe him by sending troops ani ane assuming a dictatorial and insulting tearing 9 and not treating him with the respect due to a man who had strictly and satisfactorily attended to the duties of his office as governor of the territory 7 then our correspondent acknowledges that some come of the mormons cormons have taken the bit in in their mouth and practised practiced mood blood upon their own 0 unhook book either that supposing they were doing god and the church service or from an innate love loi e of slaughter but he farther 62 says a that this has been done without orders or authority which would plainly indicate or presuppose the existence of a rule that blood rowed flowed and would when an order was waa given As somebody must hold this high prerogative of off with me his head it may be well for mortals who exist only by tolerance from a secular a authority ut hority to inquire a little into it this has been done by a fortion tion at least of the federal authorities in in this territory and the result of it is that this conflict of jurisdiction 1 between the federal government and the church has haa not a little exercised some of the bre etheren 11 we will take the admission of A man of but few words ap who rho concedes that some have hav gone egone off too quick upon the doctrine that there is is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood 12 and without knowing owing bow many throats have been cut cute or how much blood has been spilt by this over zeal upon the part of the faithful it is is not improper to inquire whether this thia over enthusiasm and mistaken mii taken right to slay has bag evet ever been punished ile hie civil records of the territory does not show it certainly but then it is s probable that the church reprimanded them upon their haste nor is it t is any excuse or jus jus 1 I 1 lineation lin cation that these sI slayers ayers although the bitterest gentile and apostate haters baters afterwards ter wards turned out to be the greatest apostates themselves it does not nol matter in the least for the principle is clearly recognized and men who have the god gift of life ar arg J impertinent enough to enquire who it la is that holds it so cheap that a word or a nod may sever ever it forever it Is against this summary an and d secret t way I 1 ot putting poor or mortals morlaas out of the wa way y we have combated t ed which aich it is a fact that perfectly notorious that hat the federal authorities III are tift utterly erly powerless to punish crimes particularly of this grade and w m by because the church hierarchy is is greater and more potent than the government itself in this latitude and thwarts ahw arts conceals and laughs to 0 o scorn all attempts to punish them ile he says brigham Brig hati as late executive head of the mormons cormons had a right to order men to be executed c and here our correspondent with all his shrewdness lets the cat out of the baag bag inadvertently and irdi indicates cates pretty plainly who rho holds the keys of the grand in in bation ilia his reasoning is bad and his phraseology unfortunate when be undertakes to draw a parallel between the late executive head of the mormons cormons Mor mons and the executive of any other sovereign state in the ie union by stating that crimes exist there but ut the governors a are re not responsible etc our oar correspondent knows knous that the execl executive tive department is is perfectly distinct and that no man holding this trust in in the states sits as governor judge and juror and that no mans life was ever sacrificed under a simple s order of so DO IT this would be exercising to use the mormon word which we have haie read in their sermons oneness with a vengeance and winch aich they the have practised practiced R with ith so liberal a hand in the political economy and social arrangements rat range g ments that exist in in our country crime nee necessarily essa rily exists but then the cornmon common sentiment of a whole people denounce it and the courts punish it do they doit here or have bave they ever done clone it and again aga invie we asli ask why because we presume in in most instances it was w as ordered and in in others where over zealous zealots were too fast they were and are note suffered to 0 go unmolested and whether they acosta sized afterwards or not act is is no matter we ve I 1 have no means of know knor ing by the records that they ever eier were punished unless indeed under the oneness and summary principle they went under in in some mysterious mariner manner one thing is is sure the parrish and potter and the wholesale slaughter at the mountain meadows have never received any penal consideration at the hands of those m who ito heretofore have opposed to have dispensed justice in in this territory while the has been developed thattie that the federal authorities have been thwarted at every step in in bringing the guilty parties to justice but then we w e are lindly kindly assured that probably c that bangham hd it in contemplation to punish many offenders lenders of but the exis existence te ce of the troops and federal officers and their bearing etc may have prevented it etc we ft e refer to the extract for the exact words now nowhere Io where here is is the whole hole thing in in a nut shell again brigham I 1 i may be contemplated it in in other words it was altogether discretionary but no he do it because the troops and civil officers were w ere sent out mt beremand bere Lere and wanted to insult him and overawe him now how we ask why hy we suppose by assuming 11 and exercising the functions of of officers fiers of the federal government they poached upon his franchisers franchises franchi sers and therefore it was not done the sentence means anything at all it means beans this the church and state are one thing in in this territory two codes of laws that is the and higher and the civil a discipline and distinctiveness that is entirely at war with the spirit of our institutions and in the very nature of our progress iress they ought to know that they in must u 8 t politically amalgamate and R hilst they are preaching morals reform some of their own social customs else they cannot come in already pikes peak and its region is forming an embryo state and as westward the star of empire takes its way the pacific te slope will be carved out into new states
