heard of the intention of the government to send
force thither but they frequently laughed at the idea
of the governments compelling them to obedience to
the federal laws they citing the failure to put down

other seat for his government Nh. Burr says that
Salt Lake is the meanest settlement he beheld,

cruel and without remedy from their present
rulers There are about fifty Gentiles only in the
Territory, who are objects Of bitter persecution.
