carrent rent of deep sympathy which whIcK has been coursing in ni my whole system ever since I 1 have witnessed the determined and vengeful conduct of our enemies alas it must and did bre break breau at out I 1 was present on sunday night in the tabernacle and listened in torture to the recitals of wrongs suffered by the saints from the lips af of brother an angus us M cannon and reached my ray home hoytie ve very ry much prostrated burdened with my over threescore and ten years and my sympathetic feelings and since then have been deeply exercised in body and mind but the outbreak came in at one this morning continuing for nearly four hours as I 1 lay tossing on my weary couch with tae scalding tears themselves bet between veen my eyelids if a shorthand short hand writer had been present my outspoken thoughts would have nave filled the ample pao pages e s of your paper but as I 1 was not is so 0 favored it has occurred to me hat that it should not be lost to view A PANORAMIC SCENE passed assed by me like this I 1 fancied that I 1 1 could see the whole of the saints in their meetings the same as at the mass meeting on last saturday expressing their sympathy for brother cannon and theother the other victims and fugitives and mingling their tears and lamentations and uniting in their ta fa stings and prayers to the great ruler of the universe after their meetings were over then came an assembly in iii the street where brother cannon resides in carriages on horseback and on foot a procession formed and at the head of it u white hearse containing the fair form of liberty enclosed A procession formed foral d in the carriages on horses and on foot toot of all present and then I 1 thought they marched in slow time with lands bands of music playing the dead march and when they arrived ata at a spot near the penitentiary a halt was called and the casket consigned to an art open grave with all the solemn rites of f funeral sepulture then came the scene of parting with our beloved president and then the harrowing thought of what would mem melet him in that loathsome abode of criminals when I 1 thou thought flit of that abode of miser misery 7 my heart grew sic kand floods of scalding tears partially relieved my agonized feelings but what a thought oi of dread came cama over me what fee feelings lings of sympathy for him who has hag during his long active and pure life a lif life ilfe e of usefulness surrounded with all the comforts of a refined and happy home to be thus outraged annoyed and insulted next came cane the sickening thought of his being cooped up in the narrow narrow filthy bunks the unventilated dormitory with all the ac accompanying compan ini nausea ot of such al condition I 1 exclaimed in the agony of my soul HOW LONG 0 LORD SHALL THESE THINGS CONTINUE MAKE BARE THINE ARM I 1 now feel calm and resigned and can say 0 lord thy will be done at one time my feelings of indignation were of the most intense description but the comforting words came to n my ay iy relief that vengeance is mine I 1 will repay saith the lord it if I 1 am wrong forgive me it I 1 am im right sustain me in the bonds of love A VETERAN MINUTES OF DAVIS COUNTY
