Fury OF the saints against the u.
States.

The latest numbers of the Deserst Nesrs are filed
with reports of harangues, by Brigham Young
and other lights Of the Mormon church, breathing
the most hostile spirit towards the General Gov
ernment. We make some extracts from a sermon
delivered by Young, on the 18th OF September:
BRIGHAM WILL RESIST THE TROOPS
The people are free; they are not in bondage to
any government on Gods footstooi. We have
transgressed no l4w, aud we have no occasion 70
do SO, neither do We intend to- but for any ma
tious coming to destroy this people God Almighty
being my helper, they cannot come here. tThe con-
gregation here responded by loud "Amen.")
That is my feeling upon that point. / do not of
ten get angry, but when do am righteously an
CRY, and the bosom OF the Almighty burns With
anger towards those scounarels. and they shall be
consumed in the name of Israefs God We have
borne enough Of their oppression and heish abuse,
ana we VIII not bear any more of IT, for there is no
just law requiring further torbearance on our
part. And am not going TO have troops here to
protect the priests and hellsh rabble In efforts
to drive US from the land we possess for the Lord
does not want US to be driven, and has said -If
you Will assert Your rights, and keep my COM
mandmehts, you shail never again be broug 1t into
bondage by your enemies."
He DRAWS LINE OF DISTINCTION
We have known all the time that the kingdoms
OF darkness were opposed to the kingdom of God
tnat Tue powers OF earth aud of hell were com him
cd against it. Christ and Baal cannot ms ke Friends
with each other; you cannot mix Oil and wafer
Righteousness aud wickedness This il the king

Is no possibility of the two Kingdoms becoming
one, Those who believe and obey the posnel ot
