concerning the death of Mr CILLEY a representative in congress from Thomaston state of Maine who was killed
in a duel on the 24 of Feb by Mr GRAVES of Kentucky also a member of the same body. Mr Cilley was
shot through the heart with a rifle on the fourth fire at the distance of eighty yards. Congress is in uproar
& finally the whole nation is in trouble the hand of God is resting upon her because of the wickedness of
the people. Bloody wars & sore distress are at the doors of America & the faces will all soon gather blackness
because they have polluted this goodly land & all the judgments will soon come upon you O ye proud gentiles
that the Bible & Book of Mormon declare against you
