Show wlee 1 wrye OLD OID SONG THE newyork new york herald la again exercised over the mormon problem in a leader on the uit the old platitudes about the degradation of woman opposition to the united states authority and the one man power are repeated with as much unction as if they were original and a rigorous policy on the part of federal officials is applauded plau ded the herald had better quit enis this nonsense for the sake of its own reputation the railroad which it views as one of the agencies which is to break up mormonism has brought here multitudes of thinking people from the principle parts of the civilized world and they are still coming they see that in utah woman is not degraded that she does not stoop to temporal debasement for the prospect of a crown a celestial exaltation al in the eternal world but that here above all other pisces places on earth woman is respected protected provided for and cherished as a companion counsellor and dearest friend and her chastity the crown of from the ruthless hand band of licentious hesss they see also that show as much true loyalty to the constitution ution of our country and far more respect to law and order than do their li bellers in new york and elsewhere they see that the much dreaded one man power is the expression of the popular will as well as the voice of inspiration evoked by a concentration of the peoples faith and they see that the rigorous policy advocated by the herald and other rabid opponents of something above their comprehension is an attempt to rob of their just rig rights bt and beautiful homes an fearing and virtuous people the herald kerald is woefully mistaken in the idea that the mormons cormons Mor mons intend to pack up and move southward we understand perfectly well that this is what our enemies desire and why the rigorous policy has been inaugurated but the mormons cormons Mor mons bythe by the blessing of god have redeemed these vallies from sterility and desolation and established themselves in happy homes in a spot which no man desired and we do not intend to give up our hard won comforts to the beasts of prey who are prowling among us or howl afar off omm we shall hold fast to our rights and the privileges guaranteed to us by our god and the constitution of our country and our enemies will not wrest from us an inch of soil nor of our property to buy a drink of their much loved liau liquor or the herald refers to the raid by TJ S soldiers at provo and thinks it probable that the mormons cormons refused to deliver up their arms according to the governors proclamation and that the soldiers were called upon to execute the order the herald ia Is mistaken again as it always is on mormon matters we have no U 8 arms to give up for our kind uncle has permitted us to dwell in an indian country for twenty three years without giving us anything wherewith to protect ourselves the arms we have arbour are our own and we know how to take care of them and if these troops were as the herald intimates acting under official orders somebody will have to pay a fearful reckoning lack of space forbids further comments but we recommend the lZ verald herald when touching on mormon affairs to quit the old style and get better posted as to facts if not as the cormons mormons are becoming so well known the herald will become a public laughing stock |
