FURY OF THE SAINTS AGAINST THE u NIrED
STATEs.-Files of the Descret News to Oct.
9TH had been received at San Francisco. The
papers are filed almost exclusively with re-
ports of harangucs, breathing the most'hostile
spirit towards the General Government, by
Brigham Young, President Kimball, and other
lights OF the Mormon Church.
A SPEECH FROM BnIaHAM.-Ins speech de-
liyered by Brigham Young on the 18th OF Sep
tember he said
"I do not often get angry, but when do
l am righteously angry, and the bosom OF the
Almighty burns with anger toward those
scoundrels and they shall DO consumed, In the
name of lsraePs God. We have borne enough
of their oppression and hellish abuse, and We
will not bear any more of it, for there is no
just law requiring further forbearance on our
part. And am not going to have troops here
TO protect the priests and hellish rable in eff
forts to drive us from the land we possess, for
the Lord does not want us to be driven, and
has said, il you will assert your rights and
keep my commandments, you shall never be
brought into bondage by your enemies
"Admlt of corrupt administrators sending
troops here and what would be the result .
All hell would follow after. 1 naturally dis
like to have any trouble, and would not were
not obliged to I; but we are obliged to defend
ourselves against the persecution of our OPP
pressors, or have our constitutional rights rent
from us and ourselves destroyed. We must
either suffer that, or stand up and maintain the
kingdom of God On earth.
We have known all the time that the king
doms Of darkness were opposed to the king
dom of God, that the powers of earth and hell
were combined against it. Christ and Baal
cannot make friends with each other; you
cannot mix righteousness and wickedness. This
is the kingdom Of God all others are of the
| devil. They never can be united in this world
nor in any otheri there is no pc disability of the
| two kingdoms becoming one. Those who be-
lieve and obey the gospel of the Son Of God,
and iorsake all for its interests, belong to the
kingdom of God, and all tho rest belong to the
other kingdom. There is distinction, and
the line must BIO drawn, and you and l have to
stand up to 1t; even though it may take from
us our right eyes and right hands. We must
stand up to the line and maintain the kingdom
| of God, or We will all go to destruction to-
gethar.
eff the troops are now this side of Laramie
). remember that the Sweetwater Is this side OF
that place. They must have some place to
winter, for they cannot come through this sea-
sen. We could go out and use them up, and
1t would not require fifty men to do it. But
| probably we shall not have occasion to take
that course, for we do not want to kill men,
They may winter in peace at some place east
Of us, but when spring comes they must go
bacS to the States, or at any rate they must
| leave the mountains.
"We have no desire to kill men, but we wish
to keep the devils from killing us. If you
hear that they are near the upper crossing OF
the Platte, they will probably stay there till
they can collect fifty thousand troops. We
will say that nine and three equal seventeen,
and If that is so, how long will it take to get
those troops here. Let an arithmetician figure
out how long it will be before nine and three
will make seventeen, for that will be just as
soon as our enemies will get fifty thousand
troop here.
81 am aware that you want to know what
will be the result OF the present movement
against us. Mormonism will take an almighty
stride into influence and power, while our en-.
emies will sink and become weaker and weak.
er, and be no more, and know 1t just as well
now as shall i've years hence. The Lord
Almighty wants name and character, and
He will show our enemies that He Is God
and that He has set to His hand again to gath,
or Israel, and to try our faith and integrity
And he is saying, snow, You my children
dare you take step to promote Righteousness
in direct and open opposition to the popular
