in all places where he has been put, in the midst of
danger, as well as safety. with regard to the citizens
of Nauvoo there were but few who stood by us
in time of trouble there are many spirits in Nauvoo
that are like bats ready to join any party that
conquer if the beast conquer they will show ther
legs if the featherd tribe there wings. we left
the mob in the city hoping that the time
would come when we could gain a greater
victory over them.

President Young arose and said I wish to make
a few remarks attached to the remarks that
have been made. I will inform the brethren
that have come up we are glad to see them. Br
Cutler has been with us before. Br Wells has
been in our society for several years and I
have had considerable acquaintance with him
and I am more than ever satisfyed with his
course. we have prayed for our brethren con-
tinually I am sensible there is a good deal of
suffering there and here, but let me say the Lord
God who has fed us all the day long, has his care still
over us, when the Saints are chastened enough
it will scease at least the hand of God will be
visible in there salvation, some individuals
may fall but the body will be sustained I
have never believed the Lord would suffer
a general Massacree of this people by a mob. If
10,000 men were to come against us if
no other way was open the earth would open
and swallow them up some say they can
stay in Nauvoo and can live there in perfet
peace they are so righteous, there are some
that have no better eyes than to say let me live
with the wicked in peace but there blessings
will be scearce with the mob, and if they
do not leave I fear they will prove a scourge
