position than we are today to day notwithstanding all the efforts whichard which are being made mado against bato destroy detroy our liberties to embarras us in iti our progress and to malign us the people who reside in these mountains have gained and are gain gaining irig a credit which in many respects is very gratifying to thoe wh rho olove love iove the truth it Is a di in cult thing to condemn an entire people and make the world be lieve that those who manage a ter buch such as ours the affairs of f which are so well managed and are in so healthy and thrifty ai a condition are gre a wicked people and abd so far as my omer oWer observation has hns hasea extended I 1 think we are being jetter understood there is one thing particularly that I 1 have noticed I 1 that where men an and women have aty qty visited this territory with scarcely any exception they speak fa f what they have seen I 1 have endeavored to urge men of men who high positions in the government i to visit utah and I 1 may say bay that some of the warmest friends we have while they do nob not sympathize particularly with our religious 1 i E views but are tolerant and desirous 07 that we should have our rightson rights right sin in common with other people are nil oil n thase those who have visited this territory and have seen us in our homes N and have had opportunities of wit j si i the changes that havo have been effected in this desert land landby by bur our T residence and labors v As to the time when we shall be come a 1 state concerning which considerable is said by outside par 9 tte tle clesas sas bas as well aa as by ourselves it i is s difficult at the present time to bay eay anythIng definite respecting it I 1 believe however the time will come and that loo too before long when certain exigencies of a cal character will arise that will make the vote bf utah necessary in deciding national quest questions question ions ione and under those circumstances it would be important to mohave have havo utah a state in fact it is already acknowledged 1 I that had utah been admitted ers aa a fr state when colorado was wag that all this difficulty which has haa occurred connected with the presidential f election would have been beell entirely va settled indeed it would not have T hl arisen this is now conceded but bat this thih experience coffas comes too late to be of any benefit in correcting the in il sj ustice which we suffered and to be of any avail in tho presidential montest which is now past but it 0 m may ay h haye have aye so some bome me effect t in t
