From all we can learn or the religious
sentiments Of the Mormons, il appears
that they are deluded into belief that
they are a chosen people. selected by
Heaven for the especial purpose Of es-

that they are favoriles Of Heaven, who.
10 process OF time. are 10 prevail over and
sueJuga'e all the kiagdoms OF the earth;
that their religion Will be universally
adopted to the entire subyersioa Of ali
other systems; in short. tia, they are the
Alpha and Omega, the frat and the last,
and that all other people must yield 10
their universal dominion that their es.
Enlistment IN Missouri is the beginning.
the mere nucleus around which thou.
sands are 10 flock, aud from the universal
Mormon empire TO spread over every part
OF Tho wo-ld, conqnering and 10 conquer,
unhi all The rule, dominion, end power,
are under their government.
Now, II these be the sentiments Of the
Morrons. and there is q design on the
part Of their leaders 10 carry them out.
they canno, be regarded in,a other
light than dangerou. people. entertain
ing principles and sentiments subyersiye
OF all government. and al variance with
our. free Institutions.
With the great ignorance prevailing
among the mass Of the Mormons, the sri
and cunning Prac,ised on their credulitv
by their leaders. the fana:ical spirit which
their religious sentiments have tenden.
ey to produce on ignorant minds, reader
them, under the guidance Of skiiiul com.
