Penalties Provided,


The constitution also contains a further
provision relating to polygamy, which is in
these words:
THE act of the governor and legislative
assembly of the territory of Utah, entitled
An act to punish poly gamy and other kim
dred offenses,' approved February 4, 1892.
In so far as the same defines and imposes
penaltles for poiygamy, is hereby declared
TO be In force in the state of Utah.
This provision had been inserted as an
amendment by Z. s. Narian on the floor of
the constitutional convention on Nav l.
lS9o, who supported said amendment in the
following language:
There was passed in 1872 by the IegisIa-
ture OF the territory, an act substantially
indeed | may say, litera ly in accord with,
or following the act of Congress upon the
subject. That act defines ANA provides men,
alties for the specific offepses, rolveamv
unlawful coh1bitatiou adultery incest and
fornication. Now that law / apprehend is
not in force in Utah today, and the reason
is that Congress entered upon the field of
legislation and covered the whole subject
Therefore there was nothing left for the
territorial legis ature to act upon. That
being so, it is not included within the pro-
vision of section two, and if II is desired
that there shall be a compliance with the
intent of the act of Congress. and with the
unders: :aniing everywhere, in spirit. it
would be necessary for this convention to
make some positive declaration adding the
force of the law. which would be seIf-ex-
ecutins; that is, that the courts would un-
dertake to execute without further legisa-
ton upon the subject
In support of the same amendment Brig
ham II. Roberts said:
Mr.. President. | am In favor of adopting
the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Salt Lake. l think, sir that 1t should
prevail First and principally. that it may
appear, without any equivocation what
ever. that. in perfect good faith, the people
of Utah intend TO carry out the condition
upon which statehood is to be granted in

fe1t1On Tor amnesty.
The next step in the movement was the
petition to the President of he United
States for universal amnesty signed by
President Woodruff and his counsellors,
George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith as
well as by the twelve apostles. one of whom
Was Lorenzo Snow, the present president
issued in December, 1891. This petition
says: We formerly taught to our people
that polygamy, or celestial marriage as
commanded by God through Joseph Smith,
was right; that 1t was a necessity to mans
highest eXaltation in the life to come
That doctrine was publicly promulgated
by our president the late Brigham Young
forty years ago, and was steadily taught
and impressed upon the Latter-day Saints
UP to September. 1880 Our people are de-
yout and sincere, and they accepted the
doctrine. and many personally embraced
and practiced polygamy.
when the government sought to stamp
the practice out our people, almost without
exception. rem aimed firm, for they, while
having no desire to oppose the government
in anything, still felt that their lives and
their honor as men were pledged to vindi-
cation of their creed, and that their duty
toward those whose lives We're a part of
their own was a paramount one, to fulfill
which they had no right to count anything.
