The Deseret News of October 9th ha.
been received. President Heber c. Kim
{ ball delivered discourse August sod
which is reported in full in this paper
Speeking Of Brigham Young, Kimbal
said:
l shall only call him President before
the Saints in his calling; was going e
say before our enemies, but damn them
they shall aever come here. 3
! Presently the St. said of the governor Of
the United States:
| We just told them right up and down
that if they sent any more such miserable
curses as some they had sent here, we
would send them home, and that is one
reason why an army, or rather mob, is
on the way here, as reported.
If this people should consent to dispos-
sess Mr.. Brigham Young as our governor,
they are just as sure to go TO hell as they
live, and l know it, for God would for.
sake them and leave them to themselves,
and they would be in worse bondage than
the children of Israel ever were.
Supposing this thing all blows over and
they don't come up here, but they begin
10 flatter US and be friendly, what will be
the re- ult? They may flatter as long as
the earth stands but neaer scM be sub
ject to one of them damned pusillanimous
curses. They may court and fatter rs
much as they please, but never will be a
subject again, no, never. Do you hear it ?
Voices, 'Yes.' Do you think we will
submit to thems No, never. They have
cut the thread themselves.
We are the people of Deseret, and it is
for us to say whether we will have broth
er Brigham for our Governor, or those poor,
miserable devils that are reported to be
trying to come here. You must know
they are miserable devils 10 have come
here under arms, but they shall not rule
over us nor come into this Terrytory.
What do you say about it? Are you
willing, as people, that they should
come here? You that say they shall not,
raise your right hands.
All hands raised.
Mr. Gentle, won't you tell of this TO your
co-workers for the devils kingdom?
have right to say the gentiles shall
never rule over me, although this people
might admit of their coming here. l
have right to say also, that we shall nev-
er be ruled over by them from this day
forth, while grass grows or water runs,
Voices, Amen.
Well, we have got to sustain these
Amcns and we have got to sustain these
VOWS.
We never shall leave these valleys-till
we get ready: no, never, no, never. We
will live here till we go back to jackson
county, Missouri. l prophecy that in the
name of Israers God.
fThe congregation shouted "Amen," and
President Brigham Young said, at is
true."
flour enemies force as to destroy our
orchards and our property, to destroy and
lay waste our houses, fields and everything
else, we shall never build and plant again
till we do it in Jackson county.
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 anybody.
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. Now will tell you, l
have about hundred shots on hand all the
time; three or four fifteen shooters and
three or four revolvers right in the room
where I sleep, and the devil does not like
to sleep there, for he is afraid they will go
off half-cooked.
If you will lay bowie knife or load
ed revolver under your pillow every night,
you will not have many unpleasant dreams,
nor be troubled with the nightmare, for
there is nothing that the devil is so much
afraid Of as weapon of death.
You may take this as some of Heber's
wild visions, if you please. I have ac-
knowledgeed myself as one of the people,
and now say we will take our own name,
and we will not be false named any more.
We are the kingdom of God, we are the
STATE OF DESERET, and ws will have
you Br. 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 Govern
or, and especially any one that has come
here under arms, for we consider that any
man is poor damned curse that has to
come here under arms to rule over us
These are my feelings, and ifanybody votes
against it, they are not for us; but there
are but four or five but what voted for us,
and they are apostates, and will 60 over
board. There is not child but what
goes with us in these things.
When we reject Br. Brigham Young we
reject the head, but we will not do it, for
the body 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. Thoes who are in
favor of it raise your right hands.
The vote was unanimous.
Let us be faithful, aud the Lord will be
on our side, and 1 doubt whether we shall
be under the necessity of shedding much
blood ourselves, but let us be ready-guns
cocked-none of your halfcocked.
