316 - L Nov. 13; ed: 2/1 - "Brigham Young has been preaching a sermon to
the faithful, in which he growls about Congress meddling with the peculiar
insti tution ••••
Brigham thinks it comes with an ill-grace from Congress to reprove his
followers for appropriating more than one wife apiece, and intimates
very pointedly that for men engaged in holding slaves, and extending the
damnable system over the free territories of the natiQn, the less said
about social and political iniquity the better.... No sooner does the
American citizen at home or abroad raise his voice against any great
crime, or national or social evil, than the sin of slavery, and the guilty
policy pursued by the government in the hands of the democrats, with re­
spect to its extension, is thrown in his teeth, and he is silenced at
once. We must purge the government of this great wickedness before we
can expect the Mormon to heed our reproaches." (8)
