Aud, again have they not played about the same
game in politics that they have in property p

this statement satisfy himself by reading

about the time of the Presidential Election last
year Hyde it seems by their epistles got into
the Wing market before Babbitt got into the
Democratic market, and dealt rather extensively
and when b began to chastise him, he kicked
furiously, as may be seen in the respective party
papers. IL seems however, that Hyde managed 20

thorough investigation of their claims; and
whether admitted or not they ought TO be held
strictly responsible for all the just debts which
they have left behind, without the already out
ragged sufferers having to do more than obtain
judgment by fair course Of law in the respective
courts Of the counties where Mormon frauds have
been committed
For starting point, Congress might appoint
committee TO inquire into and report the facts in
reference to the purchase, by the prophet Smith
Of a steamboat and some other craft, some years
since at Nauyoo.
And another to inquire into and report the
facts in reference 10 the Mormons virtually setting
at def uce the law of the country relative to pc
lygamy and If the facts are unfavorable that they
be not or the designated Territory be not styled
"ths State Of Deseretn bat the State of Who're
DOM" or Adultery" as the case may be.
