fight between Mormons and Gcntiles.
I desire 10 rake Issue with him on that
statement This is not and should
not be a fight between Mormons and
Geutiles 1t is one of the battle.
wagcd in the war against priesthood
and for the triumph of the principles
on which the American government is
founded. 1t is absolutely true that
every Gentle who believes in those
principles should line up on the Amer,
lean side and help US TO movo Utah
into the United States. Aud every
Gentle who has intelligence enough to
sense the situation here and courage
enough to fight for his convictions will
be found in our ranks, But it is not
true that the war is waged against
the Mormon people.
Fighting for Mormous
1--WE are fighting for them; our
victory does not mean defeat or dis
aster for them; it will bring them bless.
