this: | have been, for the last ten years,
a firm believer in the doctrine OF the
Latter Day Saints, or rather Mormon>
ism. My parents became followers of
the celebrated Joe Smith in an early
day aud emigrated, After the death OF
Smith and his brother we were driven
from thence. The society split
There were two who wished TO take
their leaders place, and stand at the
head of the Church, but could not
agree. Therefore they separated. Col,
White and his followers-that is, such
as believed in him--wentto Texas, and
are living in peace and prosperity
Col. w. is worthy man, compared
with our great, or rather notorious,
Brigham Young, notwithstanding he
has been Tor The last three years my
lawful husband-that is, according to
their own laws and rules. But for the
last twelve months | have seen enough
10 satisfy me; Tor what | don't know
about Mormonism is not worth know,

They censure the Government for uo
protecting them in their hellish works
For all this they mean to have satisfac.

warn my female friends to beware oI

out from the Great Salt Lake CITY tc
deceive the people. 1t is my intention
10 travel through the United States, ,anc
visit all the principal cities, and tolec'
