TH ! Sp MOR,SM -
Sited States of America
■ pat country. Possibly we
Kingdom of proph
ecy, Who knows? An author of
ability, and “a citizen of no mean
city” has figured it out with all the
accuracy of a mathematical demon
stration, that this kingdom, “which
was never to be destroyed,” was
born on th 4th of July A. I). 177 b,
the birth day of American inde
pendence. He it so! Nothing of
its kind could possibly please us
better.
But what are we doing with
Mormonism in this country? We
are utilizing the best medical skill
of the nation to detect the microbes
of yellow fever, and to stamp out
the seeds of other contagious dis
eases. But the black pestilence in
Utah which is diffusing itself like
a consuming cancer through the
body social, and the body politic,
and sapping the foundations of so
ciety—what are w'e going to do
with that? Pooh! pooh! it out of
existence. That has been tried for
over forty years, but the deadly
upas has been nearly three quarters
of a century, and it is bigger now
than ever. And by a bit of sharp
practice, which an average school
boy might have easily understood
from the beginning, it has got the
grin and grip on the country
broadly and defiantly.
The Congress in IXB2 got up a
sort of tempest in a tea pot, and
passed the Edmund’s bill to stump
polygamy out of Utah. The “Lat
ter day saints,” as burlesque has
dubbed them, got together and
agreed to go dead on the main is
sue for a night. The lie was incu
bated by the leading ecclesiastics
and lie hatched out; the ruse took
and they waked up next morning
no longer polygamist, but full
fledged democrats and Republicans.
That was all the big political par
ties specially cared for, and a con
vention was called, and under the
most solemn pledges, this political
and polygamous hybrid was grant
ed statehood.
Hut what did they care for
pledges, when all they were after
from the start was to get rid of
national authority, secure State’s
right*, and go right on in full, free,
and unmolested practice of their
adulterous and polygamous orgies.
And that is what is going on now.
And they can laugh the powers
that be to scorn, snap their fingers
in the face of general governmet
while they are wallowing in filth,
and drinking down sin as an ox
drinketh water.
It is like peeling sacred monu
ments, or desecrating the sanctities
of heaven to call such an institution
a church. And Joe Smith and Sid
Rigden were playing the role of
sly, snukey, Jesuitical schemers
and scandal-monger to perfection,
when they conceived the idea of
lugging God into their lewd and
lecherous creed, * id linking with
this moral pest-house the name
which Christ and his apostles have
sanctified and glorified.
Hut let us see what is the latest
news from this so-called church.
It comes to us by the way of the
New York World. A distinguish
ed Presbyterian divine, living in
Utah, confirms the correctness of
the World’s statement that the
Mormon saints (?) are living their
religion in all parts of the state.
The meaning is, that the highest
officials of the so-called church, as
well as the lowest of the outlying
classes and communities, are noto
rious polygamist, living in open
and shameless adultry.
Teasdale, ail apostle of the faith
seventy years old, with four wives,
not a great while ago, led his fifth—
a girl bride, to the altar of sacrifice
John \\ . Taylor, also an apostle of
the faith, recently introduced his
his third, fourth,'or fifth wife to
Utah society—she having just be
come a mother, lie was known
to have several other wives in Salt
Lake City. And Angus Cannon,
the most consequential ecclesiastic
in the tribe, recently decided to
shelve some of his cast-off maidens,
ami to take Dr. Mattie Hughes,
the State Senator of the Common
wealth to wife, in the face of Ed
mund s law, when it is well known
that she “could only claim a sixth
interest in the muchlv married
man. Hut as “she is the youngest
and most attractive of his spouses,”
she gets the lion's share of his at
tention, as a matter of course.
These are some of the facts which
come to us, by living witnesses
from tho very centers of Utah intel
ligence, and that too in the face of
the we” known fact that their ly
„-i Fi ti!)t ,ar * es are telling it every- ;

Hut what of law, and courts,
and penitentiaries now? We don’t
hear of them. The Mormon church
has got her hands on the establish
ment. One man is at the head of
it. lie has two lieutenants, and an
army of subordinates, bound by a
solemn oath, and the penalty of
eternal damnation to obey his
word. And claiming to be God,
ora part of (iod, he hectors it, at
will, over the sonsciences of the
ignorant and has everything pretty
much his own way.
As soon as the United States
gave them statehood, they elected
a Mormon legislature, a Mormon
governor, secretary of state, treas
urer, auditor,and superintendant of
public, instruction.
And at the last election, though
in the minority, they elected all
hut two of the city officers in Salt
Lake City, out of more than twen
ty offices to be filled.
And they now have the mayor,
council, treasurer, auditor, recorder
and three county commissioners,
two senators in congress, one rep
resentative in the Lower House,
with Roberts flaunting bis lecher
ous record, and the banner of his
polygamous and polluted state in
the face of Washington society,
and demanding admittance into our
great national Legislature, while
Edmund, who figured most con
spicuously at the political accouch
ment, where this statal brat was
born, seems to have weakened and
retired from the arena, and Con
gress halts and hesitates, and so far
has turned a deaf ear to the thun
derous protests and petitions of
millions of the pure, good women
of the land, and the best citizens of
the country, when they ought to
say No! to the demands of this
polygamous aspirant, with an em
phasis, that would shake the dome
of the capitol. ,
The audacity of the priest has no
parallel except it be in the credul
ity of his victim. Absurdity has
reached its climax, when you tell
an intelligent man, that Christ was
the natural son of Adam and Mary,
when Adam was dead thousands of
years before Mary was born.
And to affirm, that the Lord Je
sus Christ was himself a plygainist,
married to Mary and Martha, and
another women, who followed him
to the cross, that every male po
lygamist is a god, and that men be
come gods by becoming polygamist,
marrying many wives, and raising
up a numerous progeny of iUcgiti--
mates to call him lord, is simply
monstrous. It almost bailies belief
that such depravity could find a
lodgment in a human heart. But
sir, it comes to us straight, that be
sides having almost unlimited pow
er ill Utah, this heresy has the bal
lancu of power in Idaho, and Wy
oming, and is now busily at work
on a colonizing scheme ji f Arizona.
New Mexico, and Nevada, proper*
ing the way for six more senators
as soon as the territories shall be
come States. And by the highest
civil authority known in such cases,
one of their elders is now a chap
lain in the United States Army,
and Judge King, their representa
tive in Congress is known to have
left his seat in Washington,
that he might join the lecherous
propagandists in Brooklyn, and
tell the public, that Mormonism has
come to make tlie whole world one
nation, one people, one faith ”
And what are they after? Seek
ing to christianize the nations?
llow? Trying to make happy
homes and good citizens? No!
They are trying to convert the peo
ple to Mormonism. They are
struggling for the ballot-box to es
tublish and perpetuate Mormonism
Like the Mohammedans, they are
looking wholly and solely to a sen
sual paradise. And with the lewd
and low, tnis can only be realized
by the indiscriminate commerce of
the sexes. So that, to sum it all
up in few words, Mormonism,
means polygamy, and polygamy
means licentiousness, and animal
ism. self indulgence and free-love
is what the so called Mormon
church stands for yesterday, and
to day, and forever.
And yet, while we are standing
still, and doing nothing, this Lat
ter Day heresy has an armv of mis
sionaries, radiating and ramifying
the highways and byways, each
with a Bible in his hands, as a
mask to cover up the swindle, they
are practicing upon the innocent
i and the unsuspecting. Thev are
i knocking at your doors, or they
| will be sponging upon your hos
i pitality, claiming to be humble
j missionaries of the cross, sent ont
w ithout scrip or staff, like the first
disciples of our Lord.

hotel bills, and get the best oppor
