1857 will be the year on histories page which will be dated the commencement of the downfall of the United States. For it is during this year that they have ent- ered the field as the open Enemies & persecuters of the saints of the Most High God and have sent an Armey of 2500 men 1000 miles for the purpose of laying a foundation for the destruc- tion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints called Mormons whoave have setled in the great Bason of North America called Utah Territory or the State of Deserett Here is esstablished the Kingdom of God as Daniel saw it by vision, and the people of the United States are Determined to destroy the kingdom of God from off the Earth. For these things the Judgments of God will now begin to rest more fully upon that Nation and will be increased upon them year by year untill they are broaken up and wasted away from under Heaven and cease to become a Nation and this calamity will begin to come spedily upon them. And they will be visited with thunder, lightning, storm, whirl winds, Earthquakes floods, pestilence plagues, war and Devouring fire and the wicked will slay the wicked slay the wicked untill the Nation wais wasted away and broaken up
