Justice but a word, and crime the relig-
ion of a Mormon.
H WOMEN
Are poor, abiect and forlorp. BY cruel
aud treatment they are degraded
to the level of beasts. Every ennobling
quality, every virtue aud every grace
are sought to be eradicated, and the ha-
rems present a scene of female degrada-
ton that NO pen can picture, no tongue
portray. Innocent girls are sednced,
womsn sealed. against -sheir=will, and
every horrid crime against female digui
ty and virtue perpetrated- in the name
of Israel,s God. Thousands of these
poor creatures are praying for a release
from an Imprisonment for worse than
death.
MEANS OF RESISTANCE.
The=Mormops have neither arms nor
ammunition. There is no saltpetre in
the valley, and no cue there who could
make powder, if saltpetre was to be had.
They have never had but two pieces of
artillery, and but one of them is now in
use the other burst during 9 recent
celebration. The talk, therefore, about
tho passes in the Rocky Mountains
bristlipg with Mormon oannon is alto
gether fabulous. The Mor,pops may
have adopted the Chinese method of
painting cannon on canvass to ~frighteu
the outside barbarians; or they may
have fortified the Hockey Mountains
with stove-pipes aud hollow tubes. But
this is all they can do,
Hence the folly of their talking about
resisting regular troops and hence, too,
the folly of the United States, Govern
ment in sending out thousands of sold.
iers to combat against a mythical foe
The expedition will surely urn out to
be a perfect and unmitigated farce.
WHAT THE WILL DO.
It is the intention of Brigham, in
case he cannot keep the troops out of the
Valley, to withdraw thereffoD with his
Danites and seek a new settlement in
the far North. He will leave the bulk
of the Mormons to get along as best
they may. Having plundered them of
everything, of course he cares nothing
more concerning their fate, and will let
them perish or, not as chance may die
tate. One thousand men with artillery,
could wipe out all of the Mormons in
the Valley. Brigham knows this. He
knows he has neither arms, powder nor
canDon, and his ouly hope is to deceive
our Governments into a treaty, or else to
fee for his life.
BRIGHAM ING
This arch fend and prince of devils
lives on the sweat and blood of the poor.
He has elegant houses built of white
quartz, and furnished with great magnif-
ceuce. His wives humber about NINE
TY, though constantly accumulating.-
He is a drunkard, a thief, and a murder

ends. aud his hands are dyed with blood.

that we didn't vote for that bill as ap-

Therefore, touching this point, don't
