people. l tell you that you may look 70,
q famine Immediately. l have talked
about this to you time and again, but you
don't believe it. Brigham Young has
talked to you till he is ashamed to say
anything more about the matter. Let
your fineries 60 down to hell where they
belong, and shey who wear them are 60.

Are you women any better than me?-
Who are you that you cant wear . good

when l first came to these valleys. Do
without your fine bonnets and ribbons and
shoes. Don't coax your husbands 10 sell
the last bushel of grain, to feed them on
who want to cut your throats, and when
we will soon be plunged into a famine
Have l or Brigham Young sold our wheat?
No, not a grain, and assure you that if
Brigham would be offered $1,000 per bush
ell for his wheat tomorrow, that he would.
ut sell peck Of it. The army with all Of
its followers, the whole amounting to
about 6,O00 men, must be fed. They
must eat. Let them get their -four from
the States. You have no wheat to spare,
especially to them who want to kill you.
Your wheat will whip the world yet. Ma
tions will flee to US to escape starvation.
Our wheat will whip them great deal
worse than we whipped the United States
government two years ago. and we whip
ped the soldiers without losing a man.
We just stopped ,ham out on the road

got cooled off-Wouder if there is q law

know If l have committed treason was
just going to pull my coat of and 60 into
it in earnest-and would If hadn't a
calico shirt on. Don't get mad friends,
because We whipped the United States
you can, blame us for it. They were
coming TO burn our houses, kill the men,
and ravish the women. Well, We Just
stopped them till they got cooled of, and
when they got tame and quiet we let them
come in, and didn't lose mani believe
horse was shot in the hoof. We will let
them stay here as long as they behave
themselves, but they must understand that
the United States government and all hell
combined can't drive MS from the tops of
these mountains. ! know you would say,
hold on Mr.. Kimball, you'd better hold
your tongue Well, will-wben I please
The United States will have to answer
for the blood of the Prophets and Of the
Saints. Earthquakes, tamines, volcanoes
bloodshed and hideous pestilences will Wis
it them from one end Of the country to the
other. Then will the American people
PROSTATE themselves before the iadepea-
dent Saints Of Deseret, and beg for food
aud protection then will the nations Of
the earth bow themselves down to our
prophets and in humiliation ask from our
hands deliverance. They viii then be as
meek and humble as the soldiers were
when they came. They hung their heads
and looked like sheep,stealing dogs
Maybe some Of you don't like this Ian

Are these Federal officers here our mas

sci, where are your Looking around and

speaker commanded in tone of author.
ity, "Come in here, Bro. Bernhisel, out of
that vestry You always run when get
at it. Did we send you to Congress, Bro.
Bernhissl, as our master, or as our SER
vant?"
Bro. Bernhisel your servant.
That's what these Federal officers are
sent here for, to wait upon US, to be our
servants and If they had done their duty
they would have hung forty before this
tune for committing treason against Des-
eret-for violating the laws OF this Terri>
tory. When we 60 to the States We obey
their laws, and when they come hero they
ought to obey our laws. They ought to
60 to the polls and vote for the man who
We want to slec, to office. They ought to
do as Romans do when they are among
Romans. But do they do it? No, they
are traitors to Deseret.
When we were in the States they mur--
dered US, and rejoiced over it. Now, the
time has como when they will have to
gnaw the file. When We were in Missou-
