Show LET THE YOUNG FOLKS SPEAK AND anh ACT THE tue attitude assumed by the great bulk orthe of the young folks of the community toward those who are actively engaged iu in the crusade against the iatter latter day saints and who give it their aid and sympathy meets with a general and we may truthfully state overwhelm overwhelming lui tul n approval they have resolved as a matter of defense to confine their business patronage to their friends there are a few business men in the community who have signified their thel disapproval in part of tho tio course taken by the youth but they are very limited in number while they express sympathy with and endorse the movement as a defensive policy they object to the publication of sich bucci resolves resul rehul ves vea they would like to see sec

protect themselves against the unscrupulous assaults of those who are arc clearly and unmistakably at enmity with them any one that would turn his coat on that ground round would give one of the Is strongest tron gest possible proofs that he was destitute of the genuine elements of friendship the young folks recognize it tobe to be their right to deal ex exclusively elusively with their friends if they so desire and they have an equal right to publicly express their determination mi ni atlon in the premises and we do not see any in their having doneso done so the resolutions that have been
