The most astonishing event which is
now transporting on the civilized earth. is
Mormonism. We call il an event. for il
is impossible that sucha race can exist and
their institutions be permanent in a
christian country. Either Mormonism
must be embraced by the whole people,
or they must be driven from their present
seats By the advance OF civilized men to-
ward their rolygamous homes. Law and
Mormonism cannot co-exist; one or the
other must 60 down in the contest, On

mon who married the mother to obtain

whole I,estifcrous race. Seated in the
West, they have organized an army for
their protection. and deluded people still
flock to their city. Animated by lust
and lawlessness. they send out preachers
and gather to themselves creatures as vile
as their present wretched population.
they send orH letters boldly defending
their unholy system, and holding up the
pleasures of polygamy to all the world.

eminent. They insist on recognition
OF their laws and their Institutions; they
claim for them divine o:igin, and hold
up for their defence the shield of direct
revelation and the express sanction Of
Heaven. Nor are they destitute of en-
ersy and enterprise, the founders of this
people. They cstabli. h laws to govern
the mselves; they build large temples; they
traffic with shrewd sharp eyes to gain
their own interest; they have a police
and military force. There is M necessi-
ty for crime. for they believe Yonng to
be Prophet Of the lord and the inspir-
ed Governor of His people. They believe
in their other Saint, and are watched
closel, by them. If they steal, punish
