saws:
The people at home, no matter of what party, in
the political whirlpoollitte dream of the existence
in Utah of an organized "Church Government" the
most powerful, arbitrary and tyrannical since the
days when Jesutism supreme. The few, faint
disclosures made at the late session of the United
States Court in Provo, may, perhaps serve to wake
up the people at home, to temperature of action
There does not exist the shawdow of a doubt in
the mind of single man here, but that the Nor
Church ordered and executed the murder of
one hundred and eight emigrants at the Mountain
Meadows The Indians are here who helped the
Mormon Bishops to do it, and one of the chiefs
told me his post was to kill some of the children.
$50 large and old that they could talk, hence, to
prevent them giving evidence, they had to die and
he executed them by holding them up by the hair
of the head and severng the body at the neck,
Numerous murders have been proved up, and the
perpetrators have fed for safety to the mountains
write you, Mr.. Editor, as one from your own
family; state to you facts, and desire that Won
hold me accountable for all say. No man dare
trust his neighbor every mans hand is red with
the blood of victim. 'By order of the Council
1t was for the Lord that we killed himl 1t was
cessary for the Mormon Church, that we should be
put out of the way!'
The Governor has much to say about troops
overawing witnesses, and ntimdating juries &c,
&C., all OF which is for blind. Judge Cradlebaugh
has fully answered the Governor while the troops
knew full well their proper duties and functions, and
OF the one hundred and twenty intelligent officers in
this valley, General Johnston at the head, there is
not one but feels unutterabe disgust at the course
pursued, and the fraud attempted.
