act III government Ia dcapatching troops

for refusing to yield obedience 10 federal

should government send other officials to
Utah Of the same stamp as those who have
heretofore been commissioned, .they will

make the following extracts from one Of
Brigham's speeches;
The time must come when there will be
a separation between this kingdom and the
kingdoms Of the world. even in every point
Of view. The time must come when this
kingdom must be free and independent from
all other kingdoms. Are you prepared to

that Of our great grandfathers, or Marble
rough in that Of Queen Anne. Wherever
this advantage Of manner is possessed. It
renders its fortunate owner popular, ana
often even idolized. The politician who en-
joys it easily distances all other candidates,
for every voter he speaks with becomes in
stantly his friend. The very frankness with
which such man asks for pinch Of snuff,
is more potent, often, than the arguments OF
a Webster, Calhoun, or Clay. The lover
who enjoys this happy faculty has a similar
success over his rivals. Thousands of worth.
