You may take this as some Of Heber's

edged myself as one Of the people, and now
say we will take our own name, and
not be false named any more. We are the
kingdom of God, we are STATE OF DES-
ERET, and we will have you, Br. Brigham,
as our Governor just SO long as you live
We will not have any other Governor.
Imean just what say, and this people
say they will not have any other Governor,
and especially any one that has to come here
under arms, for we consider that any man
is poor damned curse that has to come
here under armes to rule over US. These
are my feelings and if anybody votes against
it, they are not of us, and they are apostates
and will 60 overheard. There is not a
child but what goes with Us in these things.

reject the head, but we will not do it, Tor

Governor just as long as God Almighty will
have him to be. Those who are in favor of
it, raise your right hands. " a

Let us do our. duty, be humble, prayerful,
honest, virtuous and punctual in all our en-
gagements; let US have no lying, no decep-
ton, but let US be honest, and let the labor
ing men that labor on the public works be
honest, and let them be punctual to their
work. ~r..-N. ro..''. .-ra@ e1r h.
Why do speak to the public hands? Be-
cause they are on the most important work
there is in the world. And how would a
man feel to 60 into that house, (pointing to
the endowment house) that had stolen the
nails out of the carpenters shop, or out of
the machine shop or the boards out of the
lumber yard? @".- ...t
Let Us oe I0tnIul ana the Lord VIII be on
our side, and doubt whether we shall be
under the necessity of shedding much blood
ourselves, but let us be ready, guns cooked,
none Of your half cooked. sS'

All that We built in Kirkland, in Far West,
in Missouri, in Nauvoo, and in Winter Quar-

we are to have our pay. Who are to pay
us? Those who took our property away
from ms, we will make servants of them; the
day will come that we will have them for
our vine-dressers, and We will set them to
digging holes to put the rest of the damned
scoundrels in, who have rebelled against
God and his servants: AMEN. 'F
