Editor Boston Daily Times:
Allow me to trouble you with these few
lines, which wish you to insert in your Daily
Times. My object is this l have been for the
last ten years a firm believer in the doctrine of
the Latter Day Saints, or rather, Mormonism.
My parents became followers of the celebrated
Joe Smith in an early day. and emigrated to
Nauvoo. After the death of Smith and his
brother we were driven from thence. The So
ciety split. There were two who wished to
take their leaders, place and stand at the head
of the church, but could not agree. Col.
White and his followers, that is, such as be-
lieved in him, went to 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
for the last three years my lawful husband,
that is, according to their laws and rules
But for the last twelve months have seen en-
ough to satisfy me for what l don't know
about Mormonism it is not worth knowing
They have secret plots and objects that they
mean to accomplish. They censure the Gov
eminent for not protecting them in all their
hellish works. For all this they mean to have
satisfaction. Ny object in writing this is to
warn my female friends to beware of the false
prophets who are sent out daily from the Great
Salt Lake City to deceive the people. 1t is my
intention to travel through the United States,
and visit all the principal Cities and lecture
on this great and important subject, to caution
all young people who should be SO unfortunate
as to be led into the ungodly trap. Beware
In Boston shall deliver my first lecture, as
that is my native city. have one young lady
in company who also left the Mormons with
ho hoo ho nd
will help me in my lectures. We shall both
be present, and show Mormonism in its true
colors, which you never have had in your en-
| lightened State. Had it been represented in
its true light, and it's object told, there would
not have been follower left sweet New Eng
land to join such set of impostors, for 1 can
can call them nothing else, knowing them to
be such. If there should be any elders or fol-
lowers of Mormonism, hope they will come
to the lectures and dispute what we have to
say if they can. We have and shall fetch doc.
uments to prove our assertions. We are al
present staying with friends, and as soon as we
are refreshed from the journey we shall start
for Boston. 1t is near two months since We
| left the Salt Lake City. You shall hear from
me again, with more particulars. But no more
at present from your humble servants.
: sscI.L MRS. SARAH YOUNG,
...... .-...f.y. MISS ELIZA WILLIAMS.
TThe above comes to us from responsible
source. The ladies mentioned have been tht
victims of Mormonism and are prepared to ex
pose the mysteries of the creed in light which
