A FIERY MORMON SPEECH,
BRIGHAM YOUNG ENDORSED BY pREsDEN
RIupAII


We have already alluded to the warlikt
speech that was recently delivered at Utah, by
President Kimball A detailed report has
since come to hand. Some Of its passages are
quite spicy. Witness the following
Well, the day has come when our Governor
has come out of our midst and he is in the
tops of the mountains, just where the prophets
said these things should come to pass, and
now the United States are reported to be try :
ing to force a Governor upon us when the
Lord has raised one right up out Of our midst.
Now, am going te talk about these things,
and feel as though had perfect right to
do SO, because anu one of the people. If
this people should consent to disposess Broth
er Brigham Young as our Governor, they are
lnst as sure to go to hell as they live, and l
know it; for God would forsake them and
leave them to themselves, and they would be
in worse Bondage than the children of Israel
were.
| Surprising this thing all blows over and
they don't come up lere, but begin to fatter
us and be friendly, what will be the result p
They may fatter as long as the earth stands,
but never will be subject TO one of their pu-
silanimous curses. They may fiatter much
| as they please, but ne yer will be subject tC
| them again, no never. Do You hear it p
| IYGices-ss Yes."l De yon think we will sub.
init to them No, never. They have CHI
| the thread themselves. You are the people
er Brigham as our Governor, and continue
him in his office, and you also have the privi-
lege through your agency, 10 reject him il
You please, but il will be TO your cOndemna-
tion il you do, because he has got the keys Of
the kin ydom, and the very moment you reject
him, you cut yourselves off from the right Of
the prie ITS. will now bring up compari-

tween sixty and seventy subjects. feed them;

drink Of tea, nor anything but what providei
provide them houses to live in and beds to
sleep in.
But su ppose that by and by some stranger
comes along. and my family say to him, s' we
reject me, when at the same time they say,
Ffbrother Heber is good man" but the other
man comes with smiling face, and my family
take him and reject me-what have they donei
If they reject mo they reject their head, and
by so doing they destroy their heirship to the
head or limb to which they are lawfully con
nected. Is not that SO? Suppose you ac-
knowledge the man reported to be coming,
what do you doi You reject your head, and
if so, where is the body, and what will be-
come of itl will compare it TO my body
Surprising the head is cast awaw, the body
will die, won't iti Yes, and you will die inst
as quick as that, If you reject your brother

We arc the people of Deseret; she shall be
Deseret, she shall be mo more Utah; we will
have our own name. Do you hear Brethren
and sisters, these ideas are comforting TO all OF
you they are most gloriously comforting to
me. L tell you the feelings within me are
glorious. Wea the people of Deseret, and
it is for us to say whether we will have brother
Bringham Young for our Governor, or those
poor, miserable devils they are reported to be
trying to bring here. gon must know they
are miserable devils to have come here under
arms, but they shall not rule over us or
come into this territory. What do you say
about it2 Are you willing, as people that
| they should come in here You that say
they shall not, raise your right hand. IAN
hands raised.l
i OH the same occasion Brigham Young helt
this place knew no more aDont you ano M
thatn you know about the interior Of China
they are sent. If they knew our real charac
ter, the soldiers themselves would turn rome
4 and tell the officers to go to-; they would
take stampede, and if their officers urged
| them to come and fight this people they would
turn reund upon them, or tell them to do il
| themselves. Now, do not feel angry. Are
they not to be pitied9 Yes. Are you to be
pitied2 Yes, il you torsake God or your re-
| igion. The Saints need to be pitied for moth
ing but for forsaking their religion. Be care-
full that you do not let darkness into your
minds.
