'ecause the appeal addressed to their
spiritual sense, contalued liberal promises
for the qualification Of their grossest
a2pcti.es, they are duly grateful
10 the power which fills their
nellies and ministers to their lust
and Of course arc keenly jea1-
ous Of any Interference with what they
nnw regard as their vested and inalicnable
rights. That they are deluded does not
make them lesss dangerous. Their de1u-
sion is based on What to them is Of more
importance than any evidences touching
the sacred character Of the Book Of Nor
mon, or the direct inspiration Of Joseph,
saint and martyr. They were promised
full meals for moderate toll. That promise,
thanks to the fuifulness Of the virgin soil
Of the valley, has been kept, To men
whose livelihood has always been precari-
GUS. depending upon the oscillations of
trade and the consequent depression OF ac-
tE1ty Of the manufacturing interests in the
crowded districts whence they came
men in whom forced economy could not
always satisfy the cravings Of hunger,
and who, when IN the enjoyment Of
enough, were in perpetual dread Of the
coming time when the grim wolf would
be bowling at the door to such men Nor
monism is verify not easily disproved.
The outside world is not only Gentle,
judged By the standard Of their faith, but
the fearful arena in which men and women
struggled sgainst starvation, when remem-
bered as they SAW it from their European
homes. Their theology is secondary to
sense. Give them the fat things, and the
leaders may make and enforce the canons
OF the church, and no matter what those
caEons are, the blind support Of the laity
is assured.
Here, then, are the conditions which may;
and probably will, develop rebellion ofno
inconsiderable magnitude. Given q coun,
try already torn and distracted by civil
war, distant colony OF province peopled
by leaders who assert that they act by di
vine direction, and by their followers who
are foreign to this land and who hate
the established order Of things which
Christianity and civilization have developed
Leaders and followers being given up tt
the grossest concupiscence and lust, AND
We have q accumulation out Of which blood,
work is sure to grow
It would be idle for our country, at thi
time, to invite enemies from abroad or t.
wish for the rebellion of those Of its owl
! household but it would be cowardly ant
criminal, being threatened, to yield hair
| breadth to the monshous .pretensions o
the beastial crew who have squatted IN tn
| middle Of the Continent, and there assumed
to set at naught tie laws and institution
under the shadow Of which they have ha<
undeseryed protection and extraordinary
prosperity. Besides coping with the NOR
formidable rebellion Of the last person o
the "twin barbarism," Polygamy AMI
Slavery, the Government is able to protec
itself even in Utah and nothing can ex
cuse the Administration, if, in dealing Will
the pests Of tho Valley Of the Great Sal
Lake, it does not, whenever its authority i
defed and insulted, instantly resort to thos
coercivo and repressive measures de
manded by the honor Of the country ant
of1ense committed against it. We shal
