of history with deeds of cruelty and OPP
preston. Calvin was no less muir
derea because he murdered by law his
egotism convinced him that he had dis
covered all truth, and that his ideas
would last forever. He. no doubt,
thought like the Judge that his opin-
ions were truths and that he believed
those truths were right, a very logical
belief. Fourth-There is no hate like
religious hate and no other cause can
account for the intense luminosity
manifested against an inoffensive
people, or the rejoicing over one Nor
mon being sent to prison. Shaving his
head, changing his clothes and every
indignity that can be put upon him IS
related as grand success, while 5000
murderers annually run at large with
hardly any danger of punishment. 1t
is not the love of law that creates this
hatred, as laTlesSness has been ever
practlced upon them. It's not family
ties, love and reverence for the family
circle, as marriages are fearfully upon
the decrease and all history from the
days OF Sodom proves that as mar
riages decrease vice and immortality
increase. The judge intimates that to
great extent Mormon marriages
proceed from lust; he like many others
can perhaps fathom his own prompt
lngs to matrimony, but he has no right
to Judge others in this respect. We are
told that in every State and Territory
but Utah they have laws against Grim
inal cohabitation, but how do they
execute those laws? Simply by making
of the cu1prits Presidents, Governors,
Members of Congress, or by sending
them west to Judge and malign the
Territories. They then assume the
garb Of virtue, kiss their mothers bible,
that old Asiatic Bible, lecture about
Abraham and Solomon, while their
Marias and Sophias are doomed to
scorn, poverty and utter ruin. Lust
disregards all marriage VOWS, and if
the Judge would look back to the pit
from which he was dug he would see in
the chief city of his own State that they
grant forty or fifty divorces weekly,
mostly caused by lust and violation
of marriage VOWS. From our eastern
cities one of their own writer's recently
stated that through their great sewers
a homogeneous mass of matter, consist
ing of old rags, papers, dead infants,
ETC., was constantly washed to the
ocean. But while our Christian friends
upon the Atlantic make fish bait of
their children, our more enterprising
neighbors upon the west do a lively
business selling their girl babes to the
Chinese, to be reared and sent to China
tor the same purpose for which ship
loads of Chinese damsels were brought
here by the Christians upon the coast. |
Divorces have become so numerous
among the Protestants, that Governors
urge upon legislatures the necessity of
cfrfr, Iurrr Or
and the press has advised the giving OF |
premiums to those who will live to-
gether for as long a period as ten or
twelve years, so that the perpetuity of |
their boosted happy firesldes depends !
upon force and brides, while in Utah /
the whole force of government has to /
be exerted to separate families. Yet, /
The judge in his sermon TO Nicholson |
,ays that the civilized world has inter /
Dreted the viii of that infinite source /
that manifests all things by their
Intellects. In another sermon on the /
seventh Ward school tax case although /
t had nothing to do with the case, b e
decided that all Christians took the /
bible and that only for their guide
now he favors revelation or present
but this may be no
as he probably does not
count himself Christian land as l was
never accused of being religious my
self, Will find no fault with this and
will simply say to him: Continue to!
5raduce the character of Abraham, call
Moses, the old prophets and patriarchs
echerous hypocrites. and Christ and
His Apostles humbugs and impestors,
f you choose, but if you have any self
respect left, any regard for truth, honor
and decency, or any knowledge of the
history of the last half century, never
again tell a Mormon that law will
protect him anywhere, and | will pre-
iict that before he gets the Mormons
III thoroughly pulveriZed, as he prom
ses to do, he will wish he had been
brought up to some honest profession
Ike breaking rock or carrying the hod
70 as not to have to spend his last days
or pitiful dary in severing family
les and cultivating malignity and
hatred against those from whom he has
never received harm and that he will
yet learn that the evil he does others
Will return upon his own head.
In conclusion | would like to ask the
udge mot that am technical at alb
when he swears juries and witnesses, +
whether he does it in the name of the
Tod OF Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the
Tod of the Bible, or by that infinite
ource that manifests himself through
he intellectS OF men like himself, and
which l presume was the Unknown
Tod of the Athenisns. Which does he
wear by, or does he take them promis-
'uously like the negro who wanted to
20 into battle? This Is in behalf of the
PATRIOT.
