THE MoRMoNs.--I5 UNPARALLELED
IMPUDENCE.
Our readers have all, no doubt, heard much
Of . singular sect which sprung up some FIVE
OF six years since, in the western part Of New
Yorkand eastern part Of Ohio, called Mormons;
and Of their difficulties with the people Of Mis-
souri,. It will be recollected. that the citizens
Of Jackson county, in that state, about year
since, drove them destitute and homeless from
their section, for alledged crimes and irregula-
rites. In this situation, the citizens of Clay
county gave them. temporary shelter, Of which
the tribe took advantage, and endeavored to
make permanent residences among their pro-
tectors. --But the people Of Clay are getting
tired Of their company, and are, casting about
for ways and means to get rid Of them. The
"'Far West newspaper, (printed at Liberty,
in that county,) Of the both ult. contains the
proceedings Of a meeting, held in that place on
the day previous, for the purpose Of inducing
the Mormons to remove quietly, and thus avert
the horrors Of a civil war; which they say must
inevitably be the consequence Of their longer
stay. So much for tho Wormons---now for the
impudence:
The people who composed the meeting, not
content with attending to their own business,
and providing for the radiance Of their own
country. have the audacity to advise the wan-
dering fanatics to seek homo in Wisconsin.
After many other complaints against the Nor
mons, the people Of Clay charge them with
excepting up constant communication with
the Indian tribes on their frontier" calculated
toinduce a savage war, and then advise them
to explore Wiseo,sin for home! We cry YOU
I lnescy, gentlemen. " hat with your ranaways
and those you manumiton account ofin6rmity.
we expect to be abundantly pestered with your
negroes. Do not, we pray you, make our ter
ritory the general receptacle of all your nuisan-
ces. Or if, as you would make appear, you
are only actuatcd by desire for the popula-
tion Of our territory, by ga people whose hab-
its, manners and customs, are consonant to
our own" (thank you for tho compliment, gem
tlemen,) we beg yo,. not to take any further
trouble on our behalf. Our countryis popula-
ting very rapidly without the aid Of your Kind
attention, and at any rate, westand in no par
sicular need Of class of people to rouse the
Indians Of 0ur frontier to another war.
And, gentlemen Mormons, We pray you to
be assured, that yonr promised land'' is not
in Wisconsin; and although we are in toler-
ably northern latitude, we very much fear,
should you follow the advice Of your friendsin
Clay, you might find the climate too hot for
You.
The attention Of lot-holdcrs and the public
generally, is directed TO the ACT for laying off
the towns Of Du Buque, Burlington, &C., which
will be found on the preceding page.
