stride as it is at the present time. They
may come over the plains singing theil
songs about what they will do when they
get to Utah, but many of them will find a
place in hell before they get here.
We stand now and hold the keys of the
American continent, we stand in the strong
chambers of the mountains and can the
Lord God give us victory? He can and
he will, and he has been preparing US for
this, by pouring out upon US his Holy Spi.
rit, uniting the people who have been will,
ing to repent and forsake their sins, and
hope we shall continue faithful to the end.
am glad and my soul rejoiced in these
things, and I believe that the people are
ready TO shoulder their guns and walk into
these kanyons and line them from here to
Fort Bridger in defense of the Constitution
of the United States and the rights which
both the laws of God and man guarantee
to US.
Brigham Young, on Sunday, Sept. 18th,
delivered a sermon.
ROTTEN AS PUMPKIN.
They say that their army is legal, and
say that such statement is false as hell,
and that they are as rotten as an old
pumpkin that has been frozen seven times
and then melted in harvest sun. Come
on with your thousands of Illegally order
ed troops, and 1 will promise you, in the
name of Israers God, that you shall melt
away as the snow before July sun.
DAMNABLE DAsTARDLY ORDER.
There cannot be more damnable, das-
tardly order issued than was issued by the
administration to this people while they
were in an Indian country in ls45. Be-
fore we left Nanvoo not less than two
United States Senators came to receive a
pledge from us that we would leave the
United States, and then, while we were
doing our best 10 leave their borders, the
poor, low, degraded curses sent requisi-
tion for five hundred of our men to 90 and
fight their battles! That was President
Polk, and he is now weltering in hell with
old Zachary Taylor, where the present ad-
ministration will soon be, if they do not
repent.
BUCHANAN SHALL WEAR YOKE.
1t is my faith and feelings that if we
live as we should live they cannot come
here, but am decided in my opinion that
ifworse comes TO worst and the Lord per-
mits them to come upon us, 1 will desolate
this whole territory before will again sub
NIT to the hellish corruption and bondage
the wicked are striving to thrust upon us
solely for our exercising our right to free
dom of conscience.
l will say, in reference to President Bu-
chanan, that for his outrageous wickedness
in this movement, he shall wear the yoke
as long as he lives; he shall be led about
by his party with the yoke on his neck un-
til they have accomplished their ends and
he can do no more for them, and his name
shall be forgotten; and ''Old Bright" as
Mr.. Kimball calls him, shall be free.
President Heber, in an address, gave his
opinion Of Douglas thus:
Many of you have sustained Judge Dou-
glas as being true friend of this people,
and he is just as big damned rascal as
ever walked, and always has been; he has
taken course to get into the chair of state,
and that is what he is after; he will try TO
accomplish that if he goes TO hell the next
day; but he will not 60 into the chair of
state, he will 60 to hell.
