! The Deseret News of April 10th, contains an
address delivered at the Bowery at Great Salt
Lake, by George A. Smith, in which it seems
the expulsion of the Mormons FROM the Missouri
was intimately connected with the cheese bust
! ness. Smith said
! While the saints were Hing in Far West,
there were two sisters wishing to make cheese,
and neither of them possessing the requisite
| number of cows, they agreed to exchange milk.
| The wife Of Thomas B. Marsh, who was then
president of the Twelve Apostles, and sister
/ Harris, concluded they would exchange milk, in
order to make a little larger cheese than they
| otherwise could. To be sure to have Justice
/ done, it was agreed that they Should not save
! the strippings, but that the milk and stippings
4 should all go together Small matter TO talk
about here, to be sure, two women's exchanging
milk to make cheese
! Mrs. Harris, it appeared, was faithful to the
agreement, and carried to Mrs. Marsh the milk
and strppings but Mrs, Marsh wishing to make
some extra good cheese, saved Il pint of strip
/ pings from each COW, and sent Mrs Harris the
milk without the strippings.
/ Finally it leaked out that Mrs Marsh had
saved strppngs, and it became a matter to be
settled by the teachers. They began to ex-
anime the matter, and it was proved that Mrs
Marsh had saved the strippngs, and conse-
quently had wronged Mrs Harris out Of that
amount.
An appeal was taken from the teacher to the
bishop, and 4 regular church trial was had
President Marsh did not consider that the
bishop had done him and his lady justice, for
they decided that the strippings were wrongful
y saved, and that the woman violated her COW
enant.
Marsh Immediately took an appeal to the
High Council, who investigated the question
with much patience and | assure YOU they were
4 grave body. Marsh, being extremely anxious
to maintain the character of his wife, as he was
the President OF the Twelve Apostles and great
man in Israel, made Il desperate defence, but
the High Council tnally confirmed the bishops
decision.
Marsh, not being satisfied, took an appeal
to the FIRST Presidency Of the Church, and Jo-
scph and his Coun> elorS had to sit upon the
case and they approved Of the decision of the
High Council
This little affair, you will observe kicked up
considerable of a breeze and Thomas b.
Marsh then declared that he would sustain the
character Of his wife, even If he had to 90 to hell
for 1t.
The then President of the Twelve Apostles,
the man who should have been the first to do
justice and cause rcparation to be made for
wrong committed by any member Of his fhnly,
took that position. And what next? He then
went before magistrate and swore that the
" Mormons" were hostile towards the State of
Missouri
That affidavit brought from the government of
Missouri an DISCRIMINATING order, which drove
some $4,000 saints from their homes and habi-
tations, and some thousands persisted through
suffering, the exposure consequent on this state
of affairs.
DO you understand what trouble was conse- |
quent to the dispute about pint of strippings?
The VOICE oP HENRY CLAY-In 1850, Henry !
Clay spoke the following words:
But you cannot put your finger upon any part |
of the Constitution which conveys the right or |
the power to carry slaves from one of the States
Of the Union to any Territory of the United !
states. Nor sir, can ! admit for single mo-
nent, that there is any separate or distinct right
1pon the part Of States or individual members
1t the State, or any portion of the people of the
United States to carry slaves into the Territories
lnder the idea that those Territories are held in
common between the several States.
US Senator Pugh, of Ohio, in his late speech
IN Kansas affairs, endorsed all the oppressive
md outrageous laws of the Kansas Legislature
IN the subject of Slavery He said, "Sir,
where Slavery is established, such laws must be
