In John Hyde's book on MOrmonsm, and in
various other publications on the same subject, the
punishment of adultery is said to be death. 1t may
be so according to church regulation, and the act
incorporating the Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter
Day Saints certainly authorizes the imposition OF
that or any other punishment for adultery as a
breach of the church covenants; but in the Terrific
rial Statute a milder penalty is prescribed, and
singular restriction is imposed upon the commence

some idea of the profits OF the trade:

The following act explains itself. II was in

the Mormon public; and 1t is mar ifestly IN conflict

During the ascendancy of Know-Nothingism in
the State of Massachusetts, it was alleged that Gov.
Gardner was guided in bis likes aud disikes by the
result of his inspection OF the baOtbOx of the Con
vention BY which he was nominated. That Con-
yention assembled at the National Thester in the
City of Boston, III the Autumn of 1854, aud each
delegate was 10 OWL upon
the back of bis ballot for Governor. Gardner was
nominated in cloFe vote and the ballot-box was
immediately conveyed to his counting where
he easily drew upa list of his supporters and another
of his adversaries. IN this procedure he merely
initiated Brigham Young, whc had procured the
passage of the following act az least eighteen months
before the Gardner Convention:
