Since my accession to the' presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints I haye repeatedly assert4d,my intention to aland by that manifesto, and my determina tion not to permit any marriage to take place under the ' sanction of the church which is contrary to tb law of the State,"aud I hoirre-affirthat 'statement. Holding the keyB of this authority in the church over which I am called to preside, no each ceremony can be erfoTmecT'and "recognized without my consent. 1 wish this to be clearly understood. I make this declaration unequivocally and without any .mental reservation. Polygamous marriages in the Mor mon church have entirely ceased. The implied ''understanding with the Nation whea Utah entered the Union as a State has been sacredly observed. There is no intention or disposition on the part of the church to violate or depart from it in the future. The enabling act required a provision in the Con stitntion of the State of Utah that polygamous or plural marriages should be forever prohibited. In accordance with that provision the State Constitution' contains this clause: Perfect toleration of religious sentiment is guaranteed. No inhabitant of this State shall ever be molested in person or propeaccount of his or her -- mode rty-on of religious worship; but polygamous or plural marriages are forever ' prohibited. Laws have been framed in support of this conenactment. stitutional Heavy for in case are provided penalties of tbeir violation. Thus the church and. the. State -- are against .the further contracting of polygamous associations, and there is absolutely no ground for the position taken by those who ' are attempting to inflame public opinion against the Latter-da- y Saints.
