278 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning I did not dress
I went to visit who had been sick nigh unto death but
He was now getting better I read to him the containing the last
Dispatch, which He was glad to hear. I attended meeting in
the all day. Brother spoke in the morning
read the Morning Extra of D News containing the last Poney, this was
followed by . In the afternoon Preached
followed by President who spoke plainly concerning
those who had fostered our Enemies and called upon all the people
to Form themselves into a committee of the whole to put down stealing
stop it if you have to stop the breath of the theives. Presidents Young &
also W. Woodruff John Taylor & of the Twelve
met at the to some missionaries but it was
omitted untill tomorrow night at 6 oclok. President Young said that
He prayed for both parties in the states that they might both prevail
He said if & should Join together they would
soon take . The South are better prepaired & much
faster than the North are. has taken a course to rather
keep the North back. But the curse of God will be upon the
Nation and they will have Enough of it. The Rulers possess no
Power in the Land, they have persecuted the Saints of God
and the Rulers would do nothing for us but all they could against
us and they will now get their pay for it. In speaking of
Governor President Young Said He had done us good
He had stood between us & the But the Lord had made
him do it. But He was united with the armey untill Col
visited him when he first came here He was not going to the
army but I told him to go & to follow the same spirit that brought
him out here He done so he went to the armey, & brought in Gov.
Cummings. The Govornor & Col was at swords points from
that time. The question was asked what we would do if the
President sent Secretary hiere as Govornor would we
not also cecede. President said No, we will keep
our records clean we shall want to compare records by &
by & we want to show on our part that we are right all the
time. If the boys were all right they ought to piss such a man
as out of the country or whittle him out yet if we subm
submit to such mean things put upon us by the government we shall
get our reward and they will get therirs it is better for us to
submit to those things which are unplesant than for us to do wrong
& for all the oppressions they put upon us God will bring them into
Judgment. In speaking of the it is said that the South
threaten to burn the Northern Cities the North can play at that
Game also the ownly difficulty that I can see is there are
so many traiters in the North
