The var, us Mormon settlements IL relates how they
collected in jackson County, Missouri, and were dv-
en- away by mob, despoled Of their property beaten
tarred and feshered; how they went To- Gay Coahy,
in the same State and we're treated in the sane mar
per; how they went to Nauvoo, built a largo ana
Hourishing city, and were driven away nom 1ere
after their Prophet had been murdered and how they
had after enduring great hardshps, settled Unn,
hoping to be secure from further persecuuor. The
memorial closes thus:
Gentlemen, what have we done, tEs we should
be singled out TO bear the sins OF the nation, or snde
| the outburstngs of your mad unhoy, iBnuinan and
| iratrcidal wrath Have we abused and imprsoned
| United States officers as in California and Ofio
Have we repudiated United States laws AMI psssei
counter laws, as in Michigan, Ohio Maine, Msssacau'
sets ard other States and Territories J Have we
elsewhere or banburners, as in New.York Have
We had dsunOn meetings such as are now becoming
popular over the Union, or underground railroads, IS
in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and other States Have
We sent out ilibusteIs in California, Florida and
NtwfOrk, or made Sevastopol of our Territory ss
Kansas Have we practised Lynch law, as many of
our accusers, or have our Legislative halls been
stained with blood and become the scenes of riot, a.
in Congress Have we gone to California, 20 New
hexico-tO Oregon, Washington, Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota to interfere with the political civil or
religious rights Of those States and Territories Gen
tlemen, answer us whose rights have we infringed
upon-who have We deprived OF the rights OF Efe,
liberty, and the pursui, of happiness
There has been more crime, outrage, and murder
IN oIe week in California than in the ten years inst
New Orleans, st. Louis, Cincinnati, and may otner
Southern and Western cities
II we are guilty, why NO. prove ii II we are not,
why perseeute us Have We as American citizens DO
rights The only crime that scknovedge
ourselves guilty OF is that Of permit ing such abandon
ed characters as many Of the Government sppo.Gtees
to remain among Us, who were degraded and os. 70
all sefrespect TO disgrace themselves 10 the eyes Of
al respectable persons TO dishonor the Government
that sent them, and to calumr late and abuse 1s.
Owe have not broken any law, nor yio.sted the
Constitution of the United States and have done
as much in retaining lands, making roads, building
cites introducing manufactures, and adding to the
wealth OF the country, as any other people. We have
settled and improved counties in several parts Of
Missouri; we enhanced the value Of property 10 aud
around NauvoO from five to one thousand tb,d
ade several settlements in Iowa bull: tho fret

in California. We have turned q vast desert INTO

for hundreds Of miles in the West, some Of which
were through hitherto impossible canops. We have
peOpled vast desert, and opened excessive trace;

California, and in defense Of Government Ia our
