| Show THE FORTY FIVE LIMNED we referred last week to a memorial addres addressed ed to congress ly by a number of people styling themselves sl ives non mormon voters of salt lake lako city charging the polygamous brigham and anti his zealous follo followers with certain crimes and misdemeanors mea nors very unpleasant it seems to the non rion mormon voters from this memorial we learn that brigham and his liis apostles and elders have havo been guilty of the tile grave of bense of using figurative language of a military sort in their sermons wo we have from our earliest childhood considered such auch fighting imagery from the pulpit as something of a bore but learn now for the tilo first time that it is an offense against the peace and dignity of the state if thisbe this be correct tile the right bight rev major general john P newman and all the modern teachers of the later christianity are aro open to indictment for they invariably represent the church as the army of tile the lord and the devil as belonging to the engineer corps building fortifications over against the battlements tle ments of heaven li eaven two thirds of this memorial is made up of extracts from sermons full of such military figures the other third is given to charges of abuse upon the part of the mormon church in reference to these last the oppressed and abused mormons cormons petition congress to send out a committee of investigation this the non mormon protest vehemently enny endy they do not want the these so charges investigated well knowing they cannot be sustained and they are also well aware that any fair exhibit would show to the world their designs C upon the tho property of others we have been at some pains to learn the status of these non mor mon men voters who seem to be so full of pious zeal and patriotism we attach the follow following dg statement from a gentleman not a mormon and for some time a sea ses resident se ident or of salt lake city it did not surprise us to learn that the leading men of these indignant christians aie apostate mormons cormons Mor mons who approved of and andall andali all ali thebe these the so called crimes until ai it became their pecuniary interest to join the crusade against the church which fos they are a pretty F hel eel feet fet et of fellows to make charges against others in this case ense distance lends enchantment to the view I 1 if f we had bad the non mormon voters a little nearer clearer the seat or of government they would be pleading to indictments in all probability instead of lire preferring er cli cil
