The Elders and Rulers orths Church of
Jesus Christ Of Latter Ddv Saints 10
tie Saints IN the United States Of
Amorica.
Dear Brethren, Faithful followers Of
the Lord and Recipients Of his Grace
We call upon you to stand firm to the
principles Of our religion in the coming
contest for tbs President Of the country.
Our duty is plain. There are two prin-
cipal parties in this country one is for
us and the other against us.
The Democratic Convention in Cin-
cinuali which nominated James Buchanan
for President, passed the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That Congress has no pow
or under the Constitution to interfere with
or control the domestic institutions of the
several States, aud that all such States
are the sole and proper Judges Of every
thing appertaining to their own affairs not
prohibited by the Constitution"
This is a principle Of the domestic party,
which they have extended to the terri.
tories as we'll as States, and the doctrine
Of Squatter Sovereignty applies to us in
Deseret as well as to the settlers in Kan
sas and Nebraska.
The Democratic party is the instru-
ment, in Gods hand, by which is to be
effected our recognition as sovereign
State, with the domestic institutions Of
Slavery and Polygamy, as established by
she patriarchs and prophets Of old, under
divine authority, and renewed to the
saints Of latter daysthrough Gods choos-
en- rulers and prophets.
In the Republican convention assem-
bled at Philadelphia, which nominated
John G. Fremont for President, il was
Resolved, That the Constitution con
lers 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 right and i'm
perative duty of Congress to prohibit in
tho Territories those twin relics Of barbar-
ism, polygamy and slavery"
This is a blow aimed directly at our
rights as citizens ofone of the territories,
at our sacred institutions and our holy
religion.
Saints of the latter days, to whom God
reveals his will through his chosen proph-
cts, stand steadfast in your faith for the
time is at hand which was foretold by the
prophet Of old, and recorded in the An
cient Scriptures: "And in that day shall
seven women lay hold Of one man, aud
they will say, let us eat of our own bread
and wear our own apparel--only let us
be called by thy name to take away our
reproach."
Given by order of the President and
Rulers, at Great Salt Lake, on the four
toenth day Of August, 1856.

Curious historical Fact.

The wife Of the celebrated Lord Claren-
don, the author Of the History of the Re-
bellion, was a Welch pot-girl, who, being
extremely poor in her own country, Jour
neyed to London to better her fortune,
and became servant to a brewer. While
she was in this humble capacity, the wife
Of her master died, and he happening
70 fix his affections on her she became
his wife. Himself dying soon after, left
her heir to his property, which is said TO
have amounted to between twenty and
thirty thousand pounds. Amongst those
who frequented the tap at the brewery,
was Mr.. Hyde, then a poor barrs.er,
who conceived the project Of forming a
matrimonial alliance with her. He sue
ceeded, and soon led the brewers widow
to the altar. Mr.. Hyde being endowed
with great talent, and now at the COM
mand of a large fortune, quickly rose in
his profession, becoming head of the
Chaucery bench, and was afterwards the
celebrated Hyde, Earl of Clarendon.-
