the great Election for the Presidency of the United States

felt strong & Powerful since then it has been broken to peces
That visit was before the destruction of the city of New

the inhabitants into the sea & they were drowned. It was
Before Albany was utterly Destroyed by fire. It was before
Boston was sunk with an Earthquake. It was before
Chicago was struck with lightning & burned with fire &
Brimstone for their Abominations. It was before the many
Millions of the UniPeople of the United States & other Nations
of the Earth were destroyed Bywith their cities By the
Great Judgments of God Because of their great sins &
wickedness in the sight of Heaven & Earth, this was Before the
United States became so weakened & Broaken to peaces that
they called upon Brigham Young to take the Presidency of
the United States to save the Constitution & the remnant of
the Nation from utter destruction. If this will not be
the conversation of those little children 30 yo who were
