ASeses 1--WE Stous
BRIGHAM youSa ON THE INVASION or UTAH 1T
THE UNIFIED STATES FORCES.
BY way Of st. Louis advices from Salt Lake
City to August 18th have been received The
Desenet News Is laboring earnestly to excite the
fanaficism Of the Mofmons against the United
States troops. Brigham Young has made two
infammatory speeches to the 'sSaints, ;, declaring
il to be the duty of the faithful to resist the efforts
put forth by the Government for their extermina--
ton; and stating, In positive terms, that sepa-
ration Of ''the KINGDOM" from every other king
dom is close at hand-in other words, that the
act of Government, in dispatching troops against
Utah is to be considered fair ground for refusing
to yield obedience to Federal laws. Brigham,
moreover, asserts that, should Government send
other officials to Utah Of the same stamp as those
who have heretofore been commissioned. ssthey
will require more than twenty-five hundred SOL
diers TO protect them from Mormon fury"
On the 10th Of July and ID of August he spoke
to the faithful in the GO Bowery'' at Salt Lake
City, after the following fashion:
GOVERNMENT SHUTTING DOWN THE GATES.
Sometimes my heart quakes a little, my nerves
tremble In consequence Of the great things that
are coming on us, may say, faster than we are
preparing ourselves to meet them, There is one
sign after another, revelation after revelation.
The Lord is Fastening his work He is bringing
to pass the sayings of the prophets faster than the
people are prepared to receive them. You know
that we have often exhorted you to be wide awake
70 your 10 Oe WdtcnIul ana pTayerful, ana
to be full of the Holy Spirit, lest the Lord should
roll on his work faster than you could understand
1t.
| 1t would be hard for the people to explain away
the idea that the Government Of the United States
| is shutting down the gate upon us, for it is too
visible and this is what hastens the work Of the
Lord which you are praying for every day. do
not believe that there is man or woman here
who prays at all, but who prays every day for the
Lord to hasten his work. Now take care. for if
| he does may be you will not be prepared to meet
it.
The time must come when there will be a sep
| ardtion between this kingdom and the Kingdoms
| OF this 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 have the thread cut to- day
| Now let me tell you one thing, l shall take 1t
| as witness that God designs to cut the thread
between us and the world, when an army under
takes to make their appearance in this Territory
to chastise me or destroy my life from the earth.

might with Heaven, with its servants, and with
all its people on the earth. As for the rest we
will wait little while to see; but shall take
hostile movement by enemies as an evidence
| that it is time for the thread to be cut think
that we will find three hundred who will lap
water, and we can whip out the Midianites
| Brother Heber said that he could turn out his
women and they would whip them I ask no
odds Of the wicked the best way they can fix it,
We shall live as long the Lord wants US to
They may lie and write lies, and they may stay
| here if they behave themselves, but If they do
not stop their devlish conduct they will be over
| taken, for we will make their words true in re-
gard to their being in danger, If they persist in
| their efforts to bring destruction upon us. We
do not ask any odds of them, nor of hell, nor of
the world, We only ask favors of our God, and
he is the Being we serve, to him we go, and we
do not pray to a God without BODY parts, pas
sions or principles, for do not serve such
parsonage. We serve the living and true God
who has body and parts, and passions and feel
lngs for his children, and the wicked may help
themselves the best way they can. Amen
