ter and morals OF the great Mormon movement.
Joe Smith seems to be in the same predicament in
which Mahomet found himself, when the Korcish
tribe repudiated his mission, and attacked his per
son. The present explosion has probably grown out
OF the jealouses and ambition existing between
Cook Bennett the General, and Joe Smith, the Pro-
phet OF the Saints According to the account OF
each of the other, both master spirits seem to have
been overlooking with love for handsome women
and goods and chattels. Probably Bennett thought
that Joe was getting more than his share Of beauty
and booty-hence the military ardor of the former
could not stand the prophetic monopoly and power
of the latter L.l.
The particulars which we publish are most ex-
traordinary indeed. plurality of wives, five can
believe Martha Brotherton, seems to have been
gradually forming an article in the Mormon creed
The whole explosion is mixed up with prophecy,
politics, love, ambition, folly, wisdom and fanat-
csm, that it presents one of the most singular deve-
opements of human nature that history has recorded
since the age of Mahomet. Read and be wise. .
