Utah Cordelis have We stripped of all
! % lwer. and leave her helpless in the
hands OF these our loyal friends, who
love us more than they do their God
Utah Cordeiia says she owes her first
allegiance TO her God-then let Him re
ward her, and if He'd have her free. let
Him deliver her. We love her not; and
since YOU have oefriended her in her
dislOysity 90, share her fate; We de-
liver you into the hands of those We
have created her masters. Curb
then that free tongue of thine
and hereafter speak but that which
pleases them. Away by Jupiter this
shall not be revoked (E1eunt all bu

How now, Utah and HERALD Kent
Art cast down at the rashness Of this
old man acting under sudden choler
and Misrepresentation? Come, Utah.
Lee not thy lovely head be bowed in
grief, nor wiring your shapely hands for
anguish. This cloud that now DER
shadows you shall be but as moment
in passing; and ny glorious light in al
its Respondent radiance shall break
upon you with new brightness. Lear is
now mad. He thinks you love him
not; that you are disloyal. Your enc
mics, into whose power he has now
thrown you, have undone your repu-
tation with him by uttering falsehoods
in his ear, rs black as hell where
they were bred. He has forgot
ten for the moment that earthly
governments sometimes pass in
famous laws, and that supreme
courts have said they were constitu
lional. Such was the bred Scot case of his
own land. But a political party re-
fused to submit to that decision; and.
being strong. they stamped it out in
blood. This the mad Lear has forgot
ten. Had the infamous laws which
legislators have passed, and constituted
authorities have declared proper, found
no brave hearts to oppose them, my
glorious light that now begins 10 shine
on the sons of men never could have
struggled through the dark clouds of
tyranny and oppression, that for so
many ages enshrouded mankind in
gloom. Had the very fathers of this
land, over which the mad Lear now
rules, quietly submitted to the infam-
Gus acts of the mother country, the
liberty he boasts of would not now be
his.
Another thing the old man has for
gotten; that's, that the noblest, truess
and greatest patriots the world has
ever seen, were those who placed
in their affections first God.
and then their country. With
that homage am 1 content, for / my
self pay reverence to the God WHO
created this fair earth where under
Him 1 hope yet to reign.
Then Utah, look up; you please both |
Deity and me, and we will not forsake
you, but yeu shall nourish for us the
rue spirit OF American institutions,
and in day to come you shall be
lonored above your sisters.
Now HERALD Kent, yod who have
