RENEWAL OF THE THREAT TO LAY WASTE.
The same meeting adopted a long series Of
resolutions, among which was this:
Resolved, That inasmueh as we have many
times been driven from our homes, and our farms
and habitations having fallen into The hands of
oar prosecutors, and they permitted to enjoy
them in peace, we are determined that hence
forth our enemies shall not possess the fruits of
our labor, for we will burn and utterly destroy
everything we possess; ami that our now com
Portable homes shall again become a barren
waste, as we found it in the year 1S47, rather
Than hostile enemy shall inhabit our DWELL
iugs, and glut themselves on the produce Of our
farms and orchards.
hhlHhAM FJLL1 lNDOhShD
Resolved, That we know most assure6ly that
the course taken by his ExceIleney towards the
mob on our borders, reported TO be United
States troops, had been mereiful, knowing as
be did their avowed object to bring misery and
death upon an innocent and unoffsnding people;
and that we further know that, had it not been
for the confidence repOsed in his wise counsels
By the people Of this Territory, and for bis re-
stricting influence, the justly outraged feelings
Of the whole community would have been man
ifested in a manner that would have efectually
put stop to the progress Of the invaders in
The early part Of their movements toward our
mountain home, and that they have abundant
reasons to thank Gov. Young that they have
not been sent from their present hell to a lower
one, by the shortest possible route.
BRIGHAM ON MORMON RESOURCES.
The following are extracts from a spicy dis
course Of Brigham Yoang, delivered on the 18th
Of January;
81 Can we feed and clothe ourselves? Yes,
We can, as we'll as any people on the earth.
We have a gOOdly share Of genius, talent aud
ability of the world; it is combined In the
Elders of this Church and in their families.
And If the Gentiles wish to see few tricks,
We have Mormons that can perform them. We
have the meanest devils on the earth in our
midst, and we intend to keep them, for we have
use for them: and if the devil does not look
sharp, We will cheat him out Of them at the
sst, for they will reform and 90 to Heaven
with as.
. We have already showed the invading army
few tricks, and / told Captain Van Ylist that
( they persisted in making war upon us,
should share ia their supplies. The boys
would ride among the enemy's tents, and one
f their captains ran into Col. AleXander's
ent one night, saying: Why, Colonel, III be
I'D if the Mormous won't be riding into your
ent if you don't look OUT
- We have the smartest women in the world, |
be best cooks. the best mothers; and they !
NOW how to dress themselves the neatest Of
nv others We are the smarsst people in the |
Forld-bus look out, pertaining to taking care |
4 and sustaining ourselves that the children Of
bis world are not smarter than the children Of /
igbt. / say that they shall not be, for we will /
eat them 10 every good thing, the Lord and /
be brethren being our helpers The Lord |
less you"
ROrHER TAYLOR AND BROTHER BRIGHAM ON |
RELIGIONS.
Brother Taylor has Just said, that the re-
giOns Of this day were hatched in hell. The /
ggs were laid in he'll, hatched on its borders, |
nd then kicked on to the earth. They may /
e He'd cOckatrices, for they sting wherever |
hey 90. Go to their meeting in the Christian I
7Orld. and mingle in their society, and you will |
ear then remark: our ministers dictate our |
ouls' salvstion,D and they are perfectly com |
osed and resigned to trust their whsle future |
estiny to their priests, though they burst not !
rust them with o1e single dollar beyond their /
alaries and a few presents. They can trust |
heir eternal welfare in the hands OF their |
RESTS, but hardly dare trust them with 80
iuch as a bushel OF potatoes. Is that PTinci- J
le here? Yes, more OF less.
BROTHER HEBER EXFRE SsEs HIS VIEWS.
HEBER c. KINBALL says:
- have got Just such a wild notion about /
le. If you please to consider it 90, that | be- !
eve We can raise everything that is raised in
very other part of the earth. Why do | be-
eve it? I believe il because / have got the 4
it has been given to me and to you,
nd we afe made sayiOrs Of men upon MOuat
ion.
50 Well. then, if we have got the seed and
rineiples Of life within Us, upon the sane
rinciple that the earth imparts nouTishment 10
egetation, we can impsTt life to others; and
we can save a man, upon the same principle
re can save a woman a3d every other thing
lat is upon the earth. What do you 90 TO
-ork here for? 90 to work to produce vege-
ibes, grain and all things that | and my
lmily need, and { dictate my children and
how them course for them to pursue"
MORMON MISSION TO ENGLAND.
Elder Ezra T. Benson, who has Just returned
-om a mission to England by way Of SaH
rancisco, spoke in the Tabernacle on tbe Path
( January, and used the following language;
81 | will tell you the majority of the psople in
be States do not care the ashes Of a rye straw
1r their officers, and it is just so in the army
! fact. they none Of them care much for each
ther, but they care good deal about Uncle

When we landed in San Francisco, the officers

nd we left them patrolling the docks there
he officers were Yankees, stiff and starehed,
nd they said MormOnism must be eXtinguish-
yes, this must be done.'
Colonel Casey, what do you think about it
Is seemed to be peaceable kind Of man, and
aid be could not tell what would have to be
