A MORMON DECLARATION.
The Church Of the Saints Defended
by Its Leading Members.


New York, Jan. l3.-The World's
Washington dispatch says; Delegate
Caine, Of Utah, is industriously engaged IL
distributing the official Declaration" Of
the Mormon Church. The document II
evidently intended to pave the way for the
admission Of that Territory. The declara
tion is signed by Wilford Woodruff, George
Cannon and Joseph +. Smith, Of the presi.
dency Of the Church Of Jesus Christ oi
Latter Day Saints; Lorcnxo Snow, Frank
lin D. Richards, Brigham Young, Moses
Thatcher, Francis M. Lyman, John Smith
George Teasdell, Hebcr J. Grant, John w
Taylor, M. w. Morrill,, A. H. Lund, Abra
ham II Cannon, members Of the "Counci
Of the Apostles" and John w. Young and
Daniels II. Wells, counselors.
The declaration is addressed to "Whon
1t may Concern,n but is supposed chiefly II
concern Congress.
"The Mormon Church." 1t is affirmed
"views the shedding Of human blood with
the utmost abhorrence We regard the
killing OF q human being, except in con
formity with civil law, as capital crime,
which should be punished by the shedding
OF the blood Of the criminal after public
trial before legally constituted court.
Notwithstanding all stories told about the
killing Of apostatcs, no case Of this kind has
ever occurred, and, Of course, has never
been established against tho Church we
represent. Hundreds of secedcrs from the
church have continuously resided, and now
live, In this territory, many Of whom have
amasscd considerable wealth and are Bit
terly hostile TO the Mormon faith aud peo
pie. Even those who have made 1t their
business to fabricatc the vilest falsehoods
and to render them plausible by culling
isolated passages from old sermons without
the explanatory context, and have suffered
no opportunity to escape them Of villifying
and blackening the characters Of the peo.
pie have remained among those whom
they have thus persistently calumanited
until the present day without receiving
the slightest personal injury.
"Wc declare that no bishop or other
court in this church claims Or exercises

the Judgment Of amy civil court. That this
church, while Offering advice for the wei
fare Of its members in all conditions Of
life, does not claim or exercise social or
political rights. The ballot in this Ter
ritory is absolutely untrammclcd and Sc
cret. No mans business or other secular
affairs are invaded by the church, or any
Of its officers.
'Wc declare that there is nothing in the
ceremony OF endowment or in any doctrine
