SALT LAKE, Feb. Sat a meeting of the
anti Poly9amy Society to day the following
memorial to congress was adopted: While
DeleSnte Cannon an1 representatives of the.
Mormon church are petitioning for amnesty,
and promising obedience for their people to
the antl-polygamy law, the expressions and
actions of the Mormons in Utah give no evil
dence that this promise will he fulfilled.
Apostle John Taylor, president of the Nor
nlnh CHURCH. declares That revelations enlOll-
ing polygamy came direct from God that it
is his religion, and that neither congress nor
the supreme court had n right to interfere :;
that the supreme court decision would have
no effect except to unite. confirm and
strengthen the NJ rmons in their faith.
THE same Taylor, when in France, in
1858, he having then five wives, denied the
existence of polygamy among the Mormons,>
and had denial published in pamphlet form
i'll French anil circulated. 1t Is a matter'of
common notoriety that Mormons are con-
tracing unlawful marriage the same as ever.
John w. Young has married a fifth wife,
James Velch "a second wife, and John
White third wife since the decision The
Desert Neacs, the Mormon church organ, de-
ciares that the decision of the supreme court
was rendered under popular pressure by, the
feebIe-wittel, cloudy minded judges, and in
ward meeting houses violent diatribes are
uttered against judges and judgment of the
court.
Therefore: we respectfully ask congress,
during the present session, to so amend the
act of 1862 that it may become operative by
making general reputation of the conjugal
relation. proof of marriage. and living
together in polygamy, to constitute tie
offence unless the prosecuting officer of the
government is enabled by some such legis-
lation to prosecute and punish such Offend
