Editor Dcscyc, Nc7rS:
Please pardon me for referring TO n
sheet published in your city, called the
Salt Lake Tribune, although do
no: presume that IT is sustained by any
respectable person in this Territory
where it has so unenviable a reputa-
ton; still it may be sent abroad and
fall into the hands Of some simple
minded persons who might perhaps
DO deluded into the impression that it
was a truthful sheet, or reliable
authority. Not that 1 think for a mo-
ment that any sane person would
be so woefully deceived. /
wish to refer TO manufac-
tured sensational piece in the issue
Of Sunday the 18th inst, that has been
called to my attention, headed q "Rcd-
Hot Address," also a shor; editorial
on the subject in which the truthful
o. editor states it had been forwarded
10y friend" o, Temporal O, Ugrcs,
It purports TO be 4 'stenographical re-
por; Of Bishop Vests harangue in the
Juab schoolhOuse, Sunday. March 2,
1854, reported by Tobias Tobey' for
the Salt Lake Tribune" Then follows
an address which charity would sug-
gest had been written by an insane
person or worse, the offspring Of Il |
deadly corrup; heart, miserable dis
grace to the genus homo. worthy only |
to rise to ''shame aud everlasting con-
tempt"
Now, the facts are these: Il is all a
gross fabrication. Juab is a small |
town occupied by hotel and boarding
house keepers, a store or two, and the
railroad hands, there is small branch
OF the Church presided over by Elder
James Wilson, who is very much
respected, hut no Bishop. On the
Sunday referred TO there had been a
washout and all the hands were busy,
so that there WIS no meeting held on
that day; and as FAR as the Bishop
West" is concerned, there is no such
Bishop there or in the Mormon
Church, and who Tobias Tobey''Isno
one knows.
have been requested to inform You
Of these facts, and kindly request that
You viii waive any feeling Of dislike
YOU may have 10. in any way, refer TO
he existence OF such n sheet, for the
Sake Of our young Elders on missions,
who might .perchance meet with this
'hOckingly vile fabrication. 4
Very respectfully.

The perpetrators Of the Outrageous ,
lander, finding their anti-"Mor- i
non" bubble bursted, made this I
explanation. c
"The case OF the Red Hot Address \
las been cited. which was corrected as o
Don as the managers OF this Journal $
ound they had been imposed uuon." n
They supplemented this misery n
retense at doing justice By publish T
ng the following piece Of unmiti- II
ated infernalism: o.
'There was not a thing is that bogus a
,rmon which has not been taught in Il
le Tabernacle haangues" +
This is uniform with the policy Of a.
le same journal now. In the face Of &,
lie fact that William Green is \
wing at Spanish Fork, town only n
xty-five miles distant from this .,
ty, j; insisted, only the other day, pr
lat the Wardell story, told on the "
illness stand, was true, and that he y
rs murdered by "Mormons" near r.
reen River, because he had apos- tn
tized. This shows that there is d.
'nsistency even in villainy. ~
That bogus address bore its Iegiti- r
ate fruit. 1t was sent into the h,
