that while there can not be fcand upon the
registration lists of voters the nane
of man actually guilty OF poiyg
amy. and while none Of that ciasa
the Territory all the officers elected; except id
one county were men who, though not &C
tualiy living in the practice OF lygamy
subscribe to the doctrine of revelation, ana .
law unto all higher and more binding. upon
the condition than any human law, local OF
natiOna.
THIS is the strange spectacle presented Of
form OF government, to which they own allo'
glance, sustaining by their suffrages prin
cip,e and belief that sets at naught that OBJ
legation of absolute existence 10 the law OF
the land which les at the foundation OF ne
publican institutions. The strength. perPe
.uity and destiny of the Nation rests upon
our homes, established by the law Of God
rental authority and sanctioned by parental
love.
There should be no relaxation ia the firm
bit Just execution of the law now in opera
ton. and l should be glad to approve such
further discreet legislation as will rid the
country OF this blot upon its fair name. Since
the people uphold;ng poIygamy in otsT Terri
tories Are reinforced by Immigration from
other lands recommend that law be passed
to prevent the importation of MOrmons into
the country.
