lie he proved faithful should and would receive from this priest ridden generation that had turned from the ways of the lord and were without any authority from god and were teaching for doctrine the commandments of men and he also said thethis that his name joseph should be had for good and for evil among all nations nevertheless the more the work was opposed the further and wider it should spread As soon as this message from heaven was made known by this young man his persecutions commenced fenced the priests seeing their crafts in danger they were at once on the war path to put this young fl imposter impostor down as they said and the prophet and his followers were hunted like the roe on the mountains and these persecutions continued until they were compelled to seek out an asylum in the state of missouri here again they rested in peace only a short time their persecutions continued through the influence of the priests and wicked politicians and in a short time the democratic governor of missouri issued an exterminating order ordering the saints out of the state thus about souls were exterminated from the democratic state of missouri and many of them were 4 shot down like quails no mercy was shown to young or old and the soil of the state gas was was stained with the innocent blood of the righteous when these cruel and unconstitutional proceedings were reported to congress the reply from t the e democratic president was your cause is just but we can do nothing for you the prophet and his followers settled at nauvoo in the state of illinois illinois and here again they rested in in peace only a short time very soon there were writs out for the man of god and he was talento taken to j jail jall all ail at carthage in hancock county having given himself up to be tried bythe by the law under a solemn pledge of the democratic governor of 1111 illi illinois nois for his brotie protection action anid arid i safety the governor stationed a portion of the mob to guard the prison and left the place until the butchery was completed thus under a solemn pledge of one of the sovereign states of our great republic were martyred marty red two good rig righteous t men and anti one of them the greatest prophet that everli everil ever lived vedin in the flesh in ina a short time these persecutions were continued and the fiery torch was put to the dwellings and the stack yards of the saints and they were compelled to quit the city and leave the state they left their beautiful city and temple in midwinter and crossed the nils Alis missouri sour river on the ice and they wandered along as best they could until they arrived at a place they named winter quarters on the missouri river biver near omaha at this i place when in the government called illgon upon th the 1 leaders of the people to turn out men to fight the battles of the nation in a the men where immediately mustered out and this battalion took away the strength and flower of the camp these men marched forth under command of government officers and while they were fighting the battles of the nation and sustaining the american eagie eagle in a foreign land their brothers and sisters that were left in the forsaken I 1 cit city eity yo unable to go with the first camp on account of indigent and anu adverse circumstances were ur rounded by a military mob and rand many of them shot like wild beasts in v a most moat ergel cruel mannera manner while tho the remainder were driven out of the city cily at the point 01 in t I 1 of the bayonet and all this un under er democratic rule hard anitis aa it is to write this history will hand thi this s truth to posterity but to cut the history short we say we find the people of god in salt lake valley and anti here as an in other places we ve find them slandered and shamefully abused and misrepresented by the most wicked falsehoods that the devil could invent against this too by democratic officers sent out here by our democratic government in this lam lano these men not riot content only in doing the 1 bidding baddin c of their master the great enemy of the saints they represented to the at washington that this people were in rebellion to the government aad that they ha I 1 destroyed the court records and that they had done many other wonderful criminal thing etc etc and in a short time timo we wo and and a large branch gf thip t ip ammor eq their yos yay way to utah sent out by the last democratic president that tha t has ruled the nation on an errand of spoil and murder for conscience sake with this army came also an appointed gover governor nor for utah this man held the key to our peace and our oun prosperity for be assured that thab he had a heart in him and he very soon found the court records said to be burned and he reported instanter to the government at washington our loyalty and the of the court records and the peace and prosperity of utah and that there was not any need of any army here neither had llad there ever been thus was millions of the government money squandered and the saints blessed correspondingly the army moved out about 40 miles into the cedar brush where they remained until they left left the territory and joined the southern confederacy and they done the fighting arain against sat Fat the government instead ot of the of god we now drop the history of the democratic party and cewill we will wiil look a little into the spirit and doings of the te republican publican party we find the a authority of the democratic party and their rule or government in the hands or care of the republican party this gives this great party an opportunity to prove their integrity and right and to constitutional co government as it did to the democratic party when it came in into to power the republican party has now ruled the nation for ta 0 years can we truthfully my say a good word in their behalf we find that as soon as they came into power they commenced to legislate against the law of god and the institutions of heaven and in this they have set at defiance the revelations revelation a ot oi jesus christ they passed the tiie anti polygamy law jaw of 1862 this law is now declared by the supreme court a constitutional law and consequently it bec bee mes imes lawfully so nevertheless it is unconstitutional in spirit in justice and in truth and in the economy of heaven for it destroys the conscience and agency of man and dictates to almighty god what he be may reveal and what he may not reveal to suit the rulers of our great nation rand this priest ridden generation we find that the spirit and works of the republican party manyin in their deal ings with the latter day saints and their sacred institutions aarein are in full keeping and fellowship with that of the democratic party in in their opples sive rule and government tue tuu party have thus far done everything in their power to destroy this people or break them up and to destroy their sacred ansti they have misrepresented their motives and the their r aspirations until we come down to governor murray this poof pooi poor insane man has made a bold stroke and has cut oft his own head the angel q of agod god said persecution should follow this work mr murray has given this work another lift onward the only question now before us is simply this will the tha republican party in their administration of the government continue in their wick od baiad nea and unjust rule against the people of god or will they as wise wis e stewards see the rocks and shoals upon mch which the democratic party have llave lna inn ina na measure shipwrecked and then turn their artillery in another direction and see to it that the mormon people get evenhanded even handed justice from the nation in all and in every respect if they will not do this but continue in their wicked and unjust u crusade against an innocent conscientious ent ious lous god fearing people we fear that while they are standing on thu tho other end of the same plank on which the democratic party once stood mau mat they and the power which they wield in wickedness driess and in position opposition bp to ta the will of heaven will au all dide os the plank together wo we hope for better things let the republican party remember the history of the jewish nation and that the same cause will produce the same effect history will repeat itself MIIA MILL CREEK |
