A FEW, probably 200 people met at the
Union Opera House, Saturday night for
the purpose, as Chairman Cross ex-
pressed it, "of listening with rapt atten-
ion to words of wisdom falling from
the lips of those two inspired heroes,
Gen. Nathan Kimball and Capt. Rams
ford Smith. Capt. Smith, our
prospective delegate to Congress,
was the first speaker. He
devoted considerable time to eXtOlling
the virtues and eXpatiating at large on
the god-ike wisdom of that unique quar-
tette-Satan and his three shining safe
6tes, Judge Zane, Attorney Dickson and
Eli, the Kentucky thoroughbred. He
also eTcOriated the Democratic party
ior their treachery in refusing to
adopt his polygamy plans and
wound up his bOmbastic Grafton
by generously donating to the
suffering members of the Mormon
church the startling advice that if they
would discontinue the practice of polyg
amy an era of happiness and prosperity
would come over this Territory such as
the inhabitants had never dreamed of in
thir widest imagination. Captain
Smith then very discreetly retired, and
General kimbal was announced by the
chairman. This venerable and ancient
relic of the rebellion commenced by i'm
parting to the small audience the de-
1ghtful information that he was an
American citizen. 1t was oppOrtune
that he should make this statement and
was certainly news of the most intense
interest to Ogdenites, dispelling many
dark and shady theories as to his true
origin. He next sent forth the purely
original idea that his religion was
founded on the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, and that he preferred
The principles advanced by the
Constitution to the doctrines taught by
the Bible. As an icOnOclast the General
Eil sometime startle the whole Chris
tan world. He next turned his atten-
ION towards q shameful and abusive
personal attack upon the editor of the
ogden Herald, which was entirely I'M
called for and totally undeserved. His
next remarks were both singular and
designing, and consisted in advising the
members of the Mormon church to stop
paying tithing, and to apply their
money towards the erection Of manu-
factories, so as TO give employment
20 certain members Of the Liberal party,
ESho were unable to support themselves.
PrObably the most amusing portion
81 the Generals harangue was his con-
conclusion, IN which he hypocritically
attempted to conciliate the Mormon
people for his many SlanderOuS SlurS,
by stating that John 7. Game would
nave some Of the instincts of a gentle
man If he was not so completely blinded
oy maddened zeal and fanaticism.
ar. William Driver, one of the most
prominent citizens of Ogden, next arose
70 reply 10 the arguments OF the Liberal
SoVocates. He prefaced his remarks
~ saying that many years ago q small
Oshd OF patriots renowned their allie
slance to the crown of England, and
determined to bravely contest with the
OppressOr their rights as freemen. For
JJiignt long years they waged fierce and
9S.oody battle until they compelled the
tttespouc king of England to acknowledge
Hter supremacy. This was the birth
y our present grand and glorious
DHIQn; 1t took many years for these
oa-llIed men to perfect their then crude
SstGse5nment, but to-day the United States
LANDS oI triumphantiy at the lead of
a. ~ modern nations. In the course of
rs speech he stated that among other
80 PROVISIONS IN our glorious COnstitu-
