See the Whole then buy what you want and tell your friends

you patriots have is to hunt up past pres
emit and prospective transgressions of the
church upon the state.
Mormons, though many be their faults,
were never such bigoted zealots that they
prohibited by law a denial of the divine
origin of the Book of Mormon, and on some
occasions even opened their houses of wor
ship for the-discussion with non-believers
of the question of divine origin of some of
their tenets. What orthodox church was
guilty of this crimes
our investigations, made with g view
to preventing unions of church and state,
must have informed you that many states,
among them Massachuse Is, make 1t
crime to deny the divine origin of that
book which gives history of the worlds
sixteenth crucitied Savior Now that you
inadvertently overlook this fact in fran
ing your patriotic resolutions, | hope you
will, at your next national convention,
EXPEL MASSACHUSETTS FRoK THE UNION.
l wonder if you have the same kind of
patriots all over the union that you have
here in Utah
But here patriots are scarce, but every
patriot who has the bad taste to boast of
his patriotism is an anti Mormon patriot.
know three patriots, each representa-
! tive of a class who belong to your order
here. One of them, very fine gentleman,
the minister of liberal church and pa
triotic lover of free thought. But of course
heis an anti-Mormcn patriot, and gladly
| joined in conspiracy to use your secret
order for political purposes when few of
your members thought they should leave
the Methodist church party and join the
! Democratic party. OF course that manner
ofstiding the individuality of your members
| is all right, because it comes from you.
l know another of your Utah patriots. He
is merchant so called by courtesy, but
he is heller in the Liberal party and to
take his word for it you would think he
was the only American patriot in Utah.
He is liberty loving patriotic despot who
sought to disfranchise all Mormons. |
know another patriot OF the anti-Mormon
kind. He marches in the public parades OF
your order and presumable your order is
proud of his shape. He is a big, burly
bruiser aud
BOSS BoUNCER
in one of our fashionable houses of easy
virtue on Franklin avenue. You can bet
your life he is U tah patriot with capital
/ p, for if that illiberal Methodist anti-Mor
mon political party, at whose instigation
you patriots adopted these resolutions
herein referred to, should be in the min
GRITTY at the next municipal election
! decency might be restored in this city. In
her, might have to close her bsgnio, and
that would put this patriot out of a job and
make him work for living.
Oh, We Gods What patriots your order
must be made Of IL they are like the Utah
patriots.
Please answer me, you patriots abroad,
are you anti-Mormon sons of politicians
who care nothing about a union of church
and state so it be not Mormon union2
Care you nothing if it be union witt
one of the other $50 religious denominations
that infest the earthl
Is it not a fact that notwithstanding YOU
silence as to the other infringements herein
mentioned, you are equally opposed Il
them. Is it not also fact that you woul(
never have picked out the Mormons TO
special criticism had you not been mad
the dupes of designing politicians in Utah
: who imposed upon your credulity ant
played with your popular predjucies
Yours for less blatant and more just patri
otism. II. T. HEST.
