We clip the following from the National Intef
hqsacer, of Washington City. 1t is portion of

tus" From the following brief extracts the

Editors Of the National hteIligencer:
GENTLEMEN - From military order recently
published in your paper, infer that division
of the United States army Is to move Into Uteh
This news will be hailed with JOY by thousands
of American citizens in every State and Terri
tory Of the confedracy who have suffered direct
ly or indirectly by the merciless outragea OF the
Mormons, committed while quietly pursuing their
toilsome journey overland to Oregon and Cali
forria. Every indignity has been offered to emf
grants. every species OF property stolen, anu ev-
cry species of crime has been committed. The
Federal laws have been tramped In the dust,Gc
vernmcnt officials set at defiance, menaced, threat
ened, and insultcd juries have been Influenced,
and the ends of justice thwarted ; the prison
doors have been opened aud the criminals set
free. All this did not satisfy them. but they must
enter the hall of records and publicly burn the
archives of the Territory.
Now, rs evidence of their nveterate hatred to
Americans and everything pertaining to America,
(and these sentiments are constantly taught and
preached will cite as follows;
"A Gentle shall not board in my family, and
il one of my houses rented to Gentle, after
tho time had expired | would burn IL down!
That's the doctrne."-- Ieaediah NJ Grant
"If Gentle were boarding in my family
and | should bow down to pray, and the GENTLE
or heather should hesitate, | would say to him,
bow down, yon devil This is the doctrine, and
know it /; and any man who shall oppose 1t shall
be destroyed. p--Heber c. RmbaH.
Their religious tenets may be inferred from the
following:
81 believe in marrying brothers and sisters; |
believe in the pre-cxistence of man that Adam
and Eve are the parents Of all men, spiritually
aud physically that all the saints of this dis
pcnsaton will be resurected by Joseph Smith, Jr
If am ever saved, I expect to be saved by and
through the atonement OF Joseph Smith -
Brigham Young
"Werc my daughter to marry GENTLE, l
would save her in this kingdom, namely, cut her
throat from ear to ear"B Brigham Young.
Their advocacy OF internal improvements may
be inferred f5m the following

through on that route tsouth side Of Great Salt
Lake, last spring, (l854) wished to pabllsh
book---a guide of the route--but was prevailed
on not to do 1t, as the Presidency there Carson
Valley did not wish the emigration to pass that
way. - Elder Johnson.
