The MoRMoNs.-Mrs. Smith, the widow of the
Mormon prophet, has addressed a letter to the New
York Sun, declaring that is not her intention to 60
to California, any other remote place, with the
Mormons She says:
"The laws of the United States are quite good
enough for and my children, and my settled in
tention Is to remain where am, take of my pro-
perty and if cannot educate my children here send
them to New York or New England for that purpose.
Many of the Mormons will, no doubt, remove in the
spring, and many more will remain here; and moth
ing would give me greater pleasure than to have
mired society in Nauvoo in other cities, and all
exclusive religious distinctions abolished.
81 must nOV sag that neuer for a moment 6eliered
an ioat my husband called has dPPariions and reued-
tions, as thought him ldbOring under diseased
mind yet, they may all be true as a prophet is sell
dom without credence or honor, excepting in his
family or country; but as my conviction is TO the con-
trary, shall educate my children in different faith,
and teach them to obey and reverence the laws and
institutions of their country"
She also says:
al left here, sir, with a family of children to
attend to, without any Of giving them an edu-
cation, for there is not school IN the ciV nor is it
intended there shall be any here at any other place
where the men who now govern this infatuated, SIM
ple-mlnded people have sway. / have not the least
objection that these petty yranS TO Califor-
MIA any other remote place, out of the world If
they wish for they will be of any service to
the MOrmons or the human family, no matter where
they go. Their object is to keep the people over
whom they rule in the greatest Ignorance and most
AFFECT religious bondage, and if these poor cOnfding
creatures remove with them, they will die in the will
derness."
