The time has come when their is again great
excitement throughout the land against the
Saints. This excitement has arisen partly beca-
use the Saints feel dispose to exercise those rights
which the Constitution & Laws of the United
States guarrentee unto us equal with all other
citizens in attending the elections & voting
for whom we please

Also Dr John Cook Bennet has been base wick
ed & corrupt & has been expeled from the Church
& has gone forth abroad in all the land
& is stiring up strife against the Saints by
lying against thJoseph & many others of the Church
offences truly come but wo unto those through
whom they come
