We call upon you TO stand firm to the
principles Of our religion in the coming con
test for President OF oar country. Our du-

ties in the country--one is for US, and the
other against US.
The Democratic Convention in Cincinua.

President, passed the following resolution
"Rtso!psd, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution TO interfere with or
control the domestic Institutions of the sew
eral States, aud that all such States are the
sole and proper judges ofeverythng apper-
tanning 10 their own affairs not prohibited
by the Constitution"

Squatter Sovereignty applies to US in Des-
eret, as well as to the settlers in Kansas
aud Sebrasks.
The Democratic party Is the instrument
in Gods hand, oy which is to be effected
our recognition as sovereign State. with
the domestic Institutions Of Slay cry and
Polygamy, as established By the patriarchs,
and prophets of old, under divine authority,
and renewed to the Saints of latter days,
through Gods chosen rulers and prophets.
In the Republican Convention rssem-
bled at Phtladelphia, which nominated
John C. Fremont for President, it was
"Rssolved, That the Constitution confers
upon Congress sovereign power over the
Territories Of the United States, for their
government and that, in the exercise Of
this power, it is both the right and impera.
tive duty Of Congress to prohibit in the Ter
ntories those twin relics of barbarism, Poly.
gamy and Slavery"
