FREEDOM or CONSCIENCE.
The ke,rS OF Feb. has leader ny this subject
gested by article ON the Massacre OF 81 Bartholomew.
The Mormons placed in the position the Hugue
nots. The writer says
Civil and religious intolerance, and that, too in pro-
fessed republic, harrassed Joseph the frophe, and the
Saints in New York and Ohio, expelled them from Mis-
souri, at the point Of the bayOne compelled their depar
iure from Illinois, after having msssacred the Prophet
Joseph and Patriarch Hyrom and is still unre,entingy
pursuing them in their secluded uninviting location
True, The watchwords of the onslaught are somewhat
changed but the spirit is still leading forth the per-
secuon and striving 10 enls. all other States and Ter
rtOrcs against one, and that well known TO be the
purest and most patriotic Of all Then the frccal Spad
ing story and the changes zeaousy rung upon the gol
den Bible" mpOStOrS," " fanatics Nc marshalied
the bands oil the inolerants and chcercd them spelling
and expressing the innocent. Now. since those terms
have proved too ridiculous to longer rouse attention,
speakers, writers and publishers from Maine TO Texas
and throughout the breadth Of our land most sancumo
niousy elevate their eyes clasp their hands, and
fully exclam, o, polygamy - Oh, the denominations OF
those aw fully corrupt MOrmons' Being toeraby well
quinted with the character of those no thus excm also
somewhat conversans with the doctrine and practical
workings Of poly gamy, take the liberty OF assuring all
the world that the majority OF those vrent sanderers
sunk in ignorance dcpravy and Intolerance a!mo, il not
entirely beyond redemption.
This being the fact, reflective mind may well query
why such persons deemed worthy notice Because
wicked men have already repeatedly plumber
ed driven and killed the servants Of the living GOd-hose
Who striving TO walk in obedience TO the requirements
Of risen Redeemer-and would as far possible, in
ducc all by correct instruction and example, to refrain
from the commission Of great Offences and 10 side in be-
half of "perfect toleraion All Bible readers aware
that many OF the sncen worthless had more wives than
one and that this point the conduct Of David towards
Uriah and his wife is alone condemned. Now what Is
that he should call in question the sanctions OF jehovah
Or by what authority does he presume 10 dictate the Al
mighty circumscrbe the revelations OF His will aud the
institution OF his planss
But aside from those questions aside from all the agu
that have been used for aud against plurality OF
wives, and granting that poly gsmy be solely human
institution, whom does concern except the nhabi-
ans Of Ctahs And who has the right 10 curai those
habtants in the privileges OF civil liberation? 10
nothing of those far dearer rights VI freedom
science and those higher privileges OF religious toera
ton" Those who cannot frankly answer no one had
better reflect upon the immense and cruel destruction OF
lives in the " Massacre Of 81 Bartholomew" when the
Roman Catholics buichercd many thousand Presbyiev

bitter acrimony desperate atrocities, and unsaisiypg
