Then reaction begins in his mind,
and anger is excited more fiercely
against crimes concealed in the name OF
religion, than those which appear in true
colors Aud this is the crime Of Brig
hsmism, that class of swindling fanat-
les can so put on the appearance of vir-
tue as to deceive both those within and
without, their followers and their visit
ors. Six weeks ago was at the hight of
my good opinion of the Mormons since
then, one by one, the odious features of
the system have been forced upon my
notice, till stand amazed at what once
thought of them. To change ones mind
hastily, or for slight cause, is q weak
ness; to refuse to change it in presence
of the most overwhelming testimony,
such as have, would be greater weak
ness. At first, thought was alone in
thus changing my views, but find it to
be the case, nine times out of ten, with
the fair-minded Gentle.
The explanation is to be found in the
fact that a certain class here do possess
many virtues, while the ruling oligarchy
are secretly swimming in a sea of las
civiousness and crime. Look at the long
list of visitors who have spoken or writ
ten, and you will generally find the
shorter their stay the more favorable their
testimony. There is one point on which
| long refused belief, the existence of
"Danites " or d" Destroying Angels" l
looked upon them as rather bugsboo OF
the Gentle mind. But the testimony is
now unimpeachable. / find their exist

narrowly escaped from them with life. /
have it from the statements of "Apos-
tates," and more than all else, my per-
sonal friends among the Mormons them
selves have avowed and defended the
order. To young Mormon woman, who
was laboring for my conversion, said,
in jest: "Do you believe in these Dan
ties Do you sustain such man as
Bill Hickman in his murders ?" and to
nv surprise the reply was: That is his
office, to cut off those who violate sacred
obligation, for which there is no forgive
ness. That is the law of God"

and symbols of the time when religion
was in its infancy. 1t is as though the
old mathematician should throw aside
his acquired learning, aud go back to
the sticks and balls with which he learned
to count. While all the Christian world
are rejoicing that Christ has freed us
from the yoke which " our fathers were
not able to bear" they have gone back
tive thousand years, and seek all their
examples from barbarous age and
stiff-necked and rebellious people. Claim
ing religion which will elevate men to
God, they plead for examples the base
instincts of the brute creation-with
snow in sight the year round, they pat
tern their domestic life after that of
inter-:ropicsl bsrbarians, and vainly
hope to produce the vigor of Northern
Saxons from the worst practices of
effeminate Asiatics. BEADLH
