The file of The J Esret News up to
Sept. 8, dispatched by &r correspondent,
fully confirms his statements respecting
the rebellious spirit Of the Saints. Pres,
ident Kimball, in discourse delivered on
the 3Oth Of August, holds forth as fol-
lows:
ELDER KIABALL FEELS GOOD.
You must expect when you see Bro.
Heber stand before you to speak that you
will hear what is called the rough etchel
to this generation. / am pretty well sat-
isfed brethren, that there are only four
or five persons in this congregation that
dislike to hear me talk; and when you take
out those four or five, | know that this
people would rather hear me speak than
any other man who speaks from this stand
except Bro. Brigham. 1t is not that
those four or five have any thing partiC,
uIar against me, but it is because do at
many times give vent to my feelings, and
by SO doing bit them crack where
they deserve it. Well, this is all right.
When l went to chop l was always
taught 10 pull off my coat and spi! on my
hands. pull off my coat because am
too warm; if l don't talk here more than
twenty minutes want my coat off.
May tell you some of my feelings and
not have any of you angry with met
| VoiceS-"Yes."
Ihate to have the ladies' angry with me
above all things; and will tell you one
thing, and that is, all you that are ladies
will not find any fault; but the woman
that finds fault with me, l can analyze
her and show you she is not lady.
am physician. Well, you can hard
ly mention thing that is good but what
| am.
want to tell some of my feelings here
to-day, in few words, relative to Bro.
Brigham. l call him brother, because
he says if l call him President he shall
call me President, and just as sure as be
does l am as flat as pancake. shall
only call him President before the Saints
in his calling-I was going to say before
our enemies, but, d-n them, they shall
never come here.
Excuse me, | never use rough words,
only when | come in contact with rough
things, and | use smooth words when
talk upon smooth subjects, and SO on ac-
cording to the nature of the case that
comes before me.
You all acknowledge Bro. Brigham as
the President of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints; then you &C.
knowledge him as our Leader, Prophet,
Seer and Revelalor, and then you ac-
knowledge him in every capacity that per-
tains to bis calling both in Church and
State, do you not! Yoices--Yesl
Well, he is our Governor. WhGt is a !
Governor! One who presides, or gov
erns. Well, now, we have declared in |
Legislative capacity that we will not have
poor, rotten-hearted curses come and
rule over US, such as some they have been
accustomed to send. We drafted me-
mortal aud the Council and the House of
Representatives signed it, and we sent to
them the names Of men of oar own
choice, as many as from five to eight men
for each Office, men from onr midst, out
of whom TO appoint officers for this Ter
ritory.
We sent that number for the President
of the United States to make selection
from, and asked him to give Us men of !
our own choice in accordance with the
rights constitutionally guaranteed to all
American citizens.
We just told them right up and down
that if they sent any moao such miserable
curses as some they had sent were, we
would send them home, and that is one
reason why an army, or rather a mob, is
on the way here, as reported. You did
not know the reason before, did you?
Well, we did that in Legislative ca
pacity; We did it as members of the Leg
islature, as your representatives, and now
you have got to back us up. You sent
us Just as we sent Bro, BernhSel to seek
for our rights and 10 stand in our defence
at Washington.
Well, here is Bro. Brigham, he is the
man of our own choice, he is our Cover
nor in the capacity of Territory and al
so as Saints of the Most High.
Well, it is reported that they have an
other Governor on the way now, three
Judges, District Attorney, a Marshall,
a Postmaster, and Secretary, and that
they are coming here with twenty-five
hundred men.
The United States design to force those
officers upon US by the point of the bay }
onet. Is not that funny thing? You }
may think that l am cross, but l am :
at their calamity, and l will
"mock when their fear cometh."
HE SUPPORTS HIS POSITION BY THE BIBLE
Now, gentlemen and ladies, you look Il
at these things, and then right in this Q
book, the Bible, it says, our mobiles shall t.
be of ourselves; that is, our Lords, our
Judges, our Governors, our Marshals ana >
our everything, shall be of ourselves b
Won't you read the 3Oth chapter Of Jer- a
emish9 .- r,
l8, Thus saith The Lord: Behold, | fl
will bring again the captivity of Jacobs ri
tents, and have mercy on his dwelling ~
places; and the city shall be builded up p
on her own heap, and the palace shall re-
main after the manner thereof Il

thanksgiving and the voice ofthem that !
make merry, and | will multiply them. / .
