UTAH land THE MoRMoNs.-A corrcspon-
dent i'll California. who spent some time lii
Utah Territory, gives the following des-
cription Of the Mormons, in recent letter.
The writer is lady, whose husband ac-
companied her over the plains to CaIilor-
MIA, where they now reside.
In your first letter You requested me to
tell you what thought of the Mormona,
But | did not notice it, as | am tcld they
frequently open the letters, and was atraid
of my head. | think they are the worse
people in the world-the oltscouring Of the
whole Earth. 1t is astonishing to see the
dupes of English and Scotch who flock
there, the oldest looking folks | ever saw
halt and MANNED, lame and blind, con
gregate there to be healed by the power OF
the Priesthood.
As to telling you what they believe, the'e t
are not two Of them will tell you the same
thing. They pretend to know considerable
about the spirit world, us they say Rig
ham has the 'Urim and thLmmln, by
which he can tell all things, past, present,
and to come-and their leaders have them
SO dcluded that they will believe anything
they tie to them, no matter how absurd
they believe in the transmigration OF souls
but think the most that they practice
is lying, cheating, and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
| have seen some extracts from a work
published by MIR. Ferris, entitled 'Utal
and the Mormons,' and would like to sec
it. The Mormon wickedness cannot b,
Exaggerated while the degradation Of tht
females, and ignorance and obsceiity o
the children, is truly deplorable. School
ing is Ss3 per quarter. The Church en-
ploys most Of the men in the city, i'll th'
erac,ion Of the Temple, and pays no mon
ey. | never saw such misery in my life
each family gets lot, which is one and !
quarter acres, the land being fertile, and If
Irrigation easy, they raise very good crops
hut not what are represented. Salt LAX
would be good place for vesetarianS ; tn
men would take to their work, for dinner
colt potatoes or bread, with cold squasI
spread for butter But there is no wan
among the heads of the church they cal
keep great number OF wives, with thei
respective families, on the fat Of the land
Brigham has large house for his first wife
and the others have little houses, like lie
gro pens; he built another large house
S called the Governors house, and alongSid
4 is his office, where he sleeps. | saw latel
e an account in a newspaper, OF one
t Brigham's wives having apostatized frol
the church, and another young lady wit
her they were to commence public let
e lures in Boston. If you get any of the
lectures, or understand how they got ava.
: send them to me, and will be obliged t
Il you. We hear OF the poverty in the lare
e cities, but it falls short compared to Sa
Lake women go barefooted, and men al
q seen wearing an odd shoe and boot, wit
!. pants of all materials, however incongr'
a ous-atill he could not have sold men
# clothing as well as the women's, as the
= had some mems clothing in the chure
!. store. Some of the men are married
l. two sisters at time-some have both Il
L. mother and daughter.
