for the preservation Of the Union.
I, A little later on, July !, 1871, We
find the acting Governor OF Utah
proclaiming the people OF 49, and
1855 disiOyalists and aliens he
would not permit their militia to
celebrate the day. This Creatures
name was Black, / Believe He
was a libel on mankind. IL this
, was not driving a people into rebel
lion 1 cant say whatit was. George
Washington admits that he was
actually driven TO separation by the
brutality aud tyranny Of his own
kindred across the OCEAN. But
Black has passed out Of sight while
the people Of Utah are alive and OF
interest, and still holding alOft the
banner of American liberty. IL is
true 81 cs's SUCCESSORS tear and
trample the sacred emblem, but il
will arise again and be Uniolded 10
the breeze pure and unsullied.
There are other July days in re-
latiOn 70 Utah which occasion sad
reflections. On July &, ISIS, the
corner stone Of the House Of the.
Lord was laid az Far West, No., but
mobs destroyed the sacred work.
On July 4, 1889, +. p. Pratt and
Others escaped from the Co
lumbia Jail, Boone County, Mo.
On July !, 1874, John Taylor was
J stretched on a he'd Of pain and
agony from injuries received n few
days before at the hands Of 4
savage mobwhieh attacked Carthage
Jail.
On this same Fourth the bodies Of
Joseph and Hyrum Smith were
scarcely cold In their graves. In
fact, the cowarily, coId-blo0ded !
murder might be said to lie a Fourth !
ofJuly celebration, for il was only a I
few days before that il was cele- |
bnted. Considering the time and |
place, this murder was more barhar- /
Gus and biOodthirsty than any that /
the Roman mObs participated in. |
when they rolled Christians in the I
skins Of sheep and calves and
turned them over u the panthers
and lions.
July ith, 1876, We find President
Young and his followers on the way
70 Mt. Pisgah. What a dreasy tale
AAN- blhAAA4 Ills tAAAuS-
On July I, 1871, we find the pio-
neers encamped on Green River,
where Capt. Brown Of the Mormon
battalion joined them. Read the
story Of that march from Illinois to
Utah, anu If you have the heart to
say, that these men and their chill
dren should be despOiled, disfran-
chised aRd reduced 10 political servi.
tude, then ] mus. say that heart Is a
OlicK one, and its pOssessOr n person
who would desecrate his mothers
grave.
Even away back on July :, 1888,
the people Of Independence, No,
the day by destroying a
printing press. IL IS "A poor excuse
10 say il was n Mormon printing
press. What would Jefferson anu
Adams, franklin and Washington ,
say TO ali this II they were alive? / /
What would Edmund Burke, the |
friend Of these men, say, he who was I
called a Jack Yankee in England /
because he favored and spoke for I
with America? This u /
fitting time 70 read Burke's great
speech.
On this fourth, We are assured that
,ur great fair Of 1898 will he a sue [
'ess. Certainly everything tends at a
resent to make il one Of the grand I
81 affairs the world ever knew. II /
