in a republic A few beli believers emers want to obtain power to govern and plunder the many excuses must be made to deprive the majority of power to protect themselves and defeat the rascals who are lusting lasting for office and loot so the congress of the united st states ates pledged to sustain the constitution must be induce dito perform any unconstitutional act and violate the f fundamental

triumph und and despoil all persons connected in any way with the practice of polygamy are dis franchised but this does not help the cause of the plotters a particle the only thing that will be of use to them is tile the disfranchisement of every mormon how to effect this on the me basis of belief without shocking the nation too much is we the problem which the liberals have to solve the woodburn bill fixed over to suit their notions is th the favorite means of sow solution tion it strikes at the root of the doctrine of religious ll Berty it tramples on the plainest provisions of the supreme law it tears kars to td pieces the guaranties guarantees guaran ties of freedom in thought faith and speech it is in direct conflict with decisions of the supreme court of the united states to the

and the country countr will wink at these evils and will justify the wrong intended against utah under the impression that it will settle the mormon question if the evil now working shall prevail both the government and people ot the united states will find out before very long that they have been completely hoodwinked and deceived by as conscienceless a set of political tricksters trick as ever worked for personal ends at the risk of the safety of the commonwealth in any age or country and instead ot of breaking down an unpopular religious system it will simply result in the plunder of the many forthe for the benefit of a few the annoyance and temporary subjugation of a community ot of honest and peaceable citizens for the enrichment ol of a handful f al of rapscallions rap scallions who had to take chances in the west because of their worthlessness in the east the woodburn infamy with its liberal attachments will do nothing whatever to put down mormonism 11 the schemers who favor it know that as well as anybody they do not care a dime for mormonism or polygamy they comess it in their cups they want the local offices and the local treasury the go to halifax for what they care it if they should succeed mormonism will be strengthened rather than diminished the wrong froug done to its followers will only cause caus e its roots to strike down deeper into their souls and the devotion they feel for its principles to become more fervent any ang intense the country will be fooled the nation will be guilty of a great wrong and the only persons who will make anything bf athe the evil permitted will be a few plotting rogues who will fatten for a while on place and plunder I 1 but meanwhile due dil diligence hence should be observed by the people whose rights are being assailed A re presenta ive of the schemers is to be teed feed to work at washington in their behalf Is nothing to be done by the people who are to be maligned and it possible despoiled that remains to be seen but if we could have thin thins things s our wa way I 1 we would take good care that the me side of the people should be heard in congress and throughout the land and that the wrong intended against an unoffending offend ilig people should not be perpetrated in that blindness as to the facts with which the country is afflicted and on which the plotters predicate their probable success let those whose liberties are about to be attacked reflect on this matter and act accordingly according ay the older citizens whose right off of franchise ran chise has been filched from ardin them are buot luot not now in political jeopardy it is the men and anci women who hold the few political lotical rights left to this afflicted territory who should be deeply interested in the warfare that is at hand and we suggest to our respectable gentile I 1 neighbors that it they allow their names or influence through fear of a shameless press and a few li bellous adventurers to aid in the infamy intended they will find bud out when it is too late that they have sold themselves for a song anti and they will have to do the singing non mormon taxpayers will have to bear their share of the burden that will weigh down the territory and to suffer their part of the troubles that will follow the rule of the rascals who are reaching out their hands bands to grasp the reins and seize the whip of
