 Suppose 1t Is not coming, will it hurt you to lav up the products of the earth for seven years: WIil It hurt you to have your guns, swords an1 spears in good condition accoTd;nr 1, to the laws of the United States?
 Some of the States give a man his clearance at forty years of age, others at fortv-fve: they call men to train when they are eighteen years of age, but we call upon all from six to six hundred years old; we do not except any. and l want the world to know that we are ready for any thing that comes along. If it be good we are ready for that, and if 1t be ev we are ready to stand against it.
 We are calculating to SOW our wheat early this fall, in case of emergency l throw out these things for you to think upon, and if they are not right they will not hurt any body
 But wake up, ye Saints of the Most High, and prepare for any emergency that the Lord our God may have pleasure in bringing forth
 We never shall leave these valleys-- till we get ready; no, never, no, never. We vii live here till we go back to Jackson coun- tv, Missouri. Iprophecy that in the name of | Israel's God
 The congregation shouted "Amen," and President Brigham Young said, Git is true."l
 If our enemies force us to destroy our or chards and our property, to destroy and lay waste our houses, fields and every thing else, we shall never build and plant again till we do it in Jackson county. But our enemies are not here yet, and we have not yet thrown down our houses.
 Let me tell you, if God designs that Israel should now become free, they will come and strike the blow, and if he does not, they will not come. That is as true as the book (pointing to the Bible)
 Go to work and lay up your grain and do not lay 1t ont for fine clothes, nor any other kind of fine thing, but make homespun trow- sers and peticoats
 What would please me more than for my family, instead of wanting me to go to the store for petlcoats and short gowns to see them go to work and make some good homespun?- What would be pretter than some of the Eng lish striped linsey and bonnet made of our own straw? Those are the women I would choose for wives.
 If you want virtue, go into the farming country, for there it is homespun Farming districts contain the essence and the virtue of old England.
 do not know as you know what homespun is but 1t is that which is spun at home, and it is for your welfare, both men, women and chil- dren, to make your own clothing. It is also for vonr salvation to equip yourselve, accord ing to law
 Now will tell you, have about hundred sh ts on hand all the time; three or four fr- teen shooters and three or four revolvers right in the room where sleep, and the devil does not like to sleep there for he Is afraid they will go off half cockel
 If you lay bowie knife or loaded revoIv CT under your pillow every night, you will not have many unpleasant dreams, nor br troubled with the night mare, for there is nothing that the devil is 50 much afraid of as a weapon of death
 Ton may take th's some of Feber's wild visions, have acknowledged myself as one of the people, and now I say we will take our own name, and will not be false named any more. We are the kingdom of God, we are the STATE OF DESERET, and we will nave you Dr. Brigham as our governor, just so long as you live. We will not have any other governor.
 mean just what say, and this people say they will not have any other governor. and es- pecally any one that has to come here under arms to rule over us. These are nv feelings and II anybody votes against 1t, they are not of us; but there are but four or five but what vot- ed Tor us, and they are apOstates, and will go overheard. There Is not child but what goes with us in these things
 When we re ect Br. Brigham Young, we re- lect the head, but we will not do it. for the bo- dy shall dwell together and we are members of that body and he shall be our governor just as long as God Almighty will have him to be. Those who are in favor of it raise vour right hands The vote unanimous
 lon may try 1t just as you like and it will De lust so every time, except those four or five and they never will vote. Can point them ont? Yes, l can 1 have had inv eve on them ever snce they came to the congregation.
 Let us do our duty-be humble, praverful honest, vrIuous, and punctual in all our engage mentS; let ns have no lying no deception but let us be honest and let the laboring men that labor on the public works be honest, and let them he punctua to their work.
 Why do speak to the public hands? Be- cause they are on the most important work there IS m the world. And how would man ieel to go lnto that house, (pointng to the en. dowlnent house,) that had stolen the nails ont "i the carpenters shop or out of the ma chlne shop, or the lumber yard?
 Let us be faithful, and the Lord will be on our side, and l doubt whether we shall be un- der the necessity of shedding much blood our selves but let Us be readv-guns cocked-pone of vour half cooked
 his Is my exhortaton to Israel. and may the Lord God bless the righteous. the humble those that tell the truth, and those that are honest and punctual
 Gan 1 bless any that are not humble and amenabe to their superiors? Can bless those that are always finding fault? wish to God ! could but blessings would not stick to them: put II you will do as you are told, you shall be blessed m every thing that you put your hands to rom thls tune forth and forever. You shall have health and strength, and you shall multi in to do; and that Is not all; you will have faith that when man or woman that is sick sends tor you to bless them, you will say, Be thou made whole;' and that will be the case from thls tune hencelorth and forever
 There is one man whom we saw up north when when we went to eat watermelons. who had thought of having an artesan well bored. he said, if knew that we were going to ston here three wears 1 would have one very soon. says to that gentleman, you put out peach t'eeS, apples, aprcots and currents and if we nave to go into the mountains we shall cut of the trees and the roots will be there still; but we shall not go into the mountains.
 We were told that we were going into the woods before we came here, and then when we got here there was no woods but you reel not be afraid you go and graft and inroculate your trees and build houses, that you may know how to build when you get to Jackson county.
 A T that we built in Kirkland, in Far West, in Missouri, in Nauvoo, and in winter Quarters for every one of those places gentlemen we are to have our pay. Who are to pay us?- Those that took our property away from us, we will make servants of them; the day will come when we will have them for our vine dressers, and we will set them to digging les to put the rest of the damned scoundrcls in who have rebelled against God and his servants AMEN.
 AMERICAN ARMS FOR INDIA.-The Dublin correspondent of the Boston Pilot prophesies that |" the Hndoes will succeed, because Flu rope is tranquil" and makes the following spe- culations:
