anything in the past, except to show the
facts incident to the present attitude OF
affairs. do not propose 70 say anything d
what has been done, or what has not been
done; that is not pertinent to the present
question. say nothing of the plumbers tina,
have been committed in years past. We are
now in position where we have no occasion
to 20 80 far back. We are oblired to
take the question as it is now presented to
us. The Mormon have declared war against
US; and, as national legislators, it becomes
us calmly to inquire how far we are called
upon to in6ict the fearful penalties due ia
such crimes. Will you withdraw our army :
Will you disgrace your banners which YOU
have sent there by lowering them before
such an array of Mormon force? Win you
disgrace these men who now stand before
your foes-men who have fought the battles
Of their country in former wars-men who
have won honorable distinction in the ser.
vice of the country in many a well-fought
battle. implore for them the consideration
of this House. .9.az1 ft s4sa ass5.faa.
