Editor of Standard

Dear Sir

The Calafornia Mail arrived on
1st inst July & as usual brought in the Standard which
we found stored with good things. The eastern Mail from
the US and on the 23rd ints in charge of Br Ephriam K Han
Hanks
23 Days from Independence the shortest trip on Record
bringing a large Mail. we Received the mormon up to May 9th
& we find the Edition of that valuable papier as well in the Edition
of the Standard on magngifying ther calling as a Champion
of Rights. Brothe Ferywoodmore Little Sister came with the mail with
Brother Hanks they were Accompanied by Siste Sayers & Sister Vose
of Boston ^Sister Vose^ she was is 77 years of Age & Rode some 12000 mils in
23 days & stood her Journey well. We can still say all
is peace, Harmony, qui^e^tude, & plenty throughout Utah & we as
a people have Never seen such prospect for a mamouth
harvest as this seasn Our wheat fields were ner as good
yesterday we had Rains it soaked the ground thoroughly
all kinds of vegetation looks well. Garden Orchards & fields
are beautiful to look upon. On the ^3rd^ June a few Brothers
Arrived from San Burnadeno
^Elder^ Amasa lymna and with the
Calafornia Mail & Elder Rich and on the 8th both in
good Health & spirits we have Enjoyed a good Deal of
ther society since they arrived in our midsts & we are all glad
to see them. June 12 a few of the Brethrn arrived from San
burnadeno bringing the 7 stoped Organ Donated to the
Church by the Austrailian Saints which was left at
San bernedino & has been forwarded to this city by the
Generosity of the Brethren store Brothe Joseph Ridges who made
the organ has fitted it up in the North End of the Tabernacle
it performs well, & arrived & the expectation of all concerned
perhaps Brothe Cannon may think strange that we do not say any
thing about the Storms that is raging against us and out side of Utah
but we are situated a little like a man who is snug in
bed in a good warm Hous in a cold stormy night the storm
does not handle him while there thats one of four in the petty

storm considers it the worst trouble he has & wonders why the man
in the House is not troubled about it, wy bless your Soul I
never saw a year since the organization of the Church when the people
were as Happy & peacible peaceible, as well united, & contented as
little ^trouble^ of any kind or had as much confidence in the Leaders
of the Church as this present season And it was really ^amusing^ finely
to the Untanians when the Eastern Mail came in to see the
perfet flood of falshood lies, trash, folly fro^a^th & nonsense
& the trouble that it gave the whole United States to take care
of this little Handful of Mormons that were shut up here
in their clusters of the rocks who were peaceably attending
to ther own busenes, & how & could not see how we
could trouble any one And inasmuch as the people in general
in this City could not have an opportunity of Reading very externally
what the word &c say about us President Young appointed
One ^day^ sabbath on purpose for the people to come togeth & learn
what is written about us some 9 or 10 thousnd amitted & 2 afar
bet Readers were Eruping from 8 till 12 oclk in Reading some
of the most rapid peaces [across] Governor Young & the mormons
in Utah. It was indeed Novel forward to hear the
Govrner prepare such Articles to be Read seeing that they
were mostly aimed at his private ^& pertler^ Character but this ownly
shows the consciousness he possesses of the Rectitude of the paths
which He persues & the confidence he has in the people whom
He leads, & there is not a child 10 years old in this city
but what knows that what was prnted & Read against us, was
a Buch of lies that dogs Ready told us more news aout
ourselves as a people & our Governer in perticular than we
ever expet to see fulfilled in our day & Generaton. The noble
citizens of Utah are quit amused at the Idea of our
Governor Runng away to save his life from the Saints
in Utah, when all the people here well know that
9 out of 10 of all the inhabitants of Utah both male
& fefmale would lay Down ther lives to save his or of serving
to Defend him any day or hour against the Rage & malace of
wicked & ungodly men. The people of Utah know Brigham
Young to well to forsake him he has more true friends ^today^ that
would die for him if necessary than any other man living upon

the face of the Earth. for all men who are acquanted with him & his
cause well know ^firmly Believ^ that He will be honored both in time & Eternity by
God Amighty & good men while such Delivered Liars as Judge
Damned ^men as Judge^ will be Dead & Damned ^&^ people both by Godmen
& Devils
A man who whas a Desire in his heart to destroy
an innocnt people by lying outrageously against them as Drummond
has, should take a little more pains to cover his track than
He has Done, to cover his track in order to be believed in any
thing for He has lied so extensively upon almost evry thing that
He has attempted to touch concerning Governor Young & Utah affairs
that it is not ownly clearly manifest to himself but to evry
body els in any wise acquainted with the cercustances upon which
He writes that he not ownly intended to tell lies but to tell big
ones for as covering the
^as big ones as He was capable of manufacturing,^ Death of Governor & his party
or Sharon or Babbitt, their are many who know ther is not
a word of truth in any thing He says about it. Not a hudith
part as much truth as ther was in the Remarks of a Lady in this
city after Reading his Letters Accusing the Governor Mrs Young &
the Mormons of M[u]r[er]ding those men & this his Letter to Mrs
Governor when she Remarked that they need no man warant
the Life of Judge Drummond should He come agin to this
Territory. For if He came in the capacity of pendent Juror
or judge, the men might all be left out of the Questin.

& the first woman that He got within 5 feet off would scold
him to death with a Buket of boiling water for his impositon
upon Mrs Governors if for Nothing Els. Were it not a part that
many Rapid Editons & prints are Ready to publish any falsehood
against the mormons However barefaced
for the purpose of keeping
up an excitemt against them without any Desire to Publish
any good about them when
A man would be considered out of
business in Utah & dealing with small potatoes & few in a
hill
to Devote five minutes time & a sheet of paper in writing about
such a man as Judge Drummond were it not a proven fact
from what we have Read of late from the productions of the press
that many Rapid Editons & prints are Ready to publish any
falshood no matter how barefaced or how contemptable the scene
from whence it came if they can ownly keep up an excitement

against the mormons & create News for the papers without any
Regard to what the consequences might be whether it cost the lives
of one man or a thousand. As to Drummond his History in Utah
in some measure has already been told He leaves
his wife & children at home & starts for Utah as a United
States Judge to Judge the people & set them an Example for
Morals. But He having been informed by some former officials
that Utah was a hard place for Men of Leasure He picks him
up a Miss in due time before He leaves St. Louis & He
brings that Miss with him & keeps her with him in all his
as an assitent in all of his Official Labours in Utah & that
to under the Honorable title of Mrs Drummand. But when
Mrs Richards living near this City who is a sister of the
Real Mrs. Drummond called to pay her sister a visit
She beheld a woman which she had never before seen and
had to turn away in Disgust from one who may come
to regulate the mind of Utah. And after clearing up
trying to put the Capitol of the Territory under Marshall Law
& having men carried a hundred miles in Juries & brought before
his honour for utering the treasonable opinions that Neither
the Constitution & nor laws of the United States Required
a United States Judge to have a Miss sit with him
upon the Judgement Seat in order to make his acts legal,
which cause he persued as many can testify & after going to
Calaforinia & publishing his charge to the Jury of law
fully which He ner Delivered to them. He then Returning
to the United States & writes his Resignation & tells
the awful tails Murder & crimes of which Governer
Young & the mormons were guilty, which has set all
the world in a foam but while Doing this He should
have waited a little Longer before He went so near his
Real wife as to cause her to go to pay him a visit &
while seaking an interview with him He hastens to her
her Home & steals some of the children & carried them off
before she Returned so the Michigan paper paper published
in his Neighborhood rep & off course they would not say anything
about him but what was true

this is the man that writes to swallow up Utah
& build a gallows to Hang the Governr & all his true
friends upon But by way of conditions concerning him I would
ask ^how^ what will the Hon Judge disperse of his two Mrs Drummonds
Real living wives immorals as He is inspired with such Holy
Honor against the mormons for Having more than one wife
Or is that ^become^ admissible in the Christian world in this last
age of civilization & Refinement with all men inasmuch as they
are not mormons. We would like to be informed upon this poi[n]t
as we have been so long from the civilized world that we may be
ignorant upon some of the po[i]nts of improvement

This is one singular characteristic with all men who eithr go out
of Utah or go through it who are Enemies to this people & that
is they just barly escape with ther lives yes they do Really
escape with their lives & so many of them of ^them^ to, this is singular
whn we consider that the mormons are such a Desperate Blod
thirsty people as our Enemies would fain make world beleve
but would there characters report this & feel this way if they did
not really Believe that if Justice had ben done then
they never would have left utah with ther lives I think
not. But really has they not any body ben killed in
Utah. If there has not ^been^, I think the people are sadly to
blame for since the opening of the Gold milnes of Calafornia the
whole country from Calafornia to Oregon has been so rifled with
Murderers & Robers & thievs that the good Christian people of
Calafornia have found it necssary to shout & find there
scores & Hundreds without Judge or Jury acording to Law & no
one has called them in question for it as told the Govenor
resopnsible for it, & it would be strange if ther was not any
one in Utah that should get killed without Judge or Jury
but then I will acknowledge ther is a great Diffence for
the people in Utah are mostly mormon & they have a
mormon Governor & the Christins would of come [throh]
that a Mormon Governor be held Responsible for the
death of any man & evry crime committed in his territory
while any man would at once be comitted fo & that Justly to
ownly ben for the Insane Hospital who should make any such

Demand or Require any such Responsibility of any Governor in any
state or territory. but this is an item of Difference between
Mormon & Antemormans. there is more crime committed in one
day in many Cities of the United States with the same ^amount^ nub
of population than ther is in Utah in ^a^ years, but that
is performed by Chistains & also by Mormons that makes the
Differnce. If we are overtaken in a fault & do any thing wrong
in Utah we confess our sins & learn to forsake them
& thank our ^governor or any other fr[ien]d^ frends for telling us our faults, Realizes that
the Rebukes of a frend are better & far more profitabe than the
kisses of an Enemy, but in the chrstian world the people
labor Diligently to hide ther faults, & if the Governor
of Calafornia, New York, or Connecticut was to tell the
people ther faults & show them ther sins they would consider
himself ^themselves^ very fortunate ^to^ escape withot being puled down or having ther
throat cut. The Question is often asked what is going to be done
with Utah & what will the people of Utah do. Now this Depends
entirely upon circustances The inhabitants of Utah know well
as a people that they have broaken No law either Human
or Divine the Laws & Constitution of the United States
garentee unto us all that we have Either Realized or asked for
& if the Goernment of the United States persues a lawful &
Legal cause towards us ther will never be any Difficulty
betwen Utah & the General Government. & it is certainly Hard
to believe that the Goverment will has arrived at that state of
Decline or Deacay that she would be willing to Risk the
Result & future consequences of steping out side of the
Constitution and opening a war of Pesecuton & extermation
against any state or territory because of ther Religious faith or
practice as long as that faith or practice does not come
in contak with the constitutn or Laws of the United States
for in that case they might begin to withhold the sympathies
from Utah & prepare to weep for thousads & the childen for should
they attempt to undermine the constition that Great & Glorious Legacy
Given by God throgh our Fathers unto the American people for the sake
of Gratifying the envy of the Rable for a little Mormon Blod

it would not Require a prophet to foresee that the mighty fabric
Fabric ^of American Government^ would soon fall & bury them all in its ^the nation in its^ Ruines

In case that an army of Editors, prints & those who cry so
loud against Utah could not possibly waidt for the
movements of Government to gratify ther thirst for Blood but
should gather together & come against Utah & Request us
very politely to hold still (as they have done in several writings)
before) while they cut our throats, Marter our prophets,
violate Ravish our women & kick out the favor of our
children in that case it is my spiritual, temporal, cordial &
Legal opinion, that in this last age of improvement that united
of crushing them ^in^ ther polite request ^we curches should take a look at the gang^ & holding still while they
^It is my opinion that we should not hold still while our enemies^
perform the deed as we did have done several times before
under the sacred promise of Governor & Judges that it would not
but is to have our throats cut. I hold no one responsible for
this opinion but myself. We are honest cariers & firm believers
in the Religion which we have cultivated & practize & both the Law
of God & men gives us the right to Enjoy it upon our own alloted
American soil. & it needs be & we certainly should sacrafice
our lives for our Religion before we should renounce it
but if we have to die for our Religion we certainly shall
not die alone, we shall have company. And I would as lief
die in the vallor of the mountains or any where Els and another
consolatin is we shall meet our Enemies the othr side of the veil
where justice & judgment will be executed & truth be known & comp[l]eted
but if such a crusade is to be Entered into to annihilate
the mormons I would Earnestly write all there Editors
& prints who are so very anxious to annihilate the mormons
to join the throng & come to Utah & not stay at home &
End the ignorent & incorrect ones to do your Bloody work
while you Remain at home out of the Reach of Danger but should
you come & not get killed in a Dual on the Road or Direct the
elders nor fall in battle by the Hand of some mormon
you might stand one chance in a thousand of getting home but I
would advis you to settle your benefits & make your will
before you leave

^If the object ^of our Enemies is in there preset objectives [apt to]^ is to destroy Mormonds from off the earth.^

I can inform all men that they have undertaken a
task which is not in the power of man to Accomplish
^mormonism is the work of God & when men fight against it they fight god Here this covenant prevail^
for should they ^our Enemies^ ever Destroy the little handful of 800,000 riverliving rivers
in Utah that would not begin to stop the mormonism
for the Elders of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
are scattered throghtout nearly the whole Earth & wherever the
Effort has been made to Destroy us it has added thousads
to the Church & all men will find this to be the case unto
the End. And all men will find, Even Emperors, Kings, Rulers,
Princes, presidets, Governors, Judges, Doctors, Lawyers, prints
& Editors & all Nations of men that
^The Rulers & people of the whole Earth will find^ before they have fully
destroyed Mormonism from off the Earth or killed half
of the mormons in Utah Territory, that they will have as
much as they can called to do to attend to ther own heads
& meet the coming storms which is nigh Even ^at^ their
own Doors and all men will find this to be true
And I wish to bear my testimony unto all men
unto all men
unto whom these lines may come that the
^for the^ God of Heaven has a controversy with this Generation & is
about to bring judgment upon the world because of that wickedness
of man. The Lord Raised up Joseph Smith to bring forth
his work He was a true prophet of God & both the Righteous &
wicked will find it so when they come to Judgment. He brought forth
the Book of Mormon which is a true Record. The Lord Raised
him up to bring forth the fulness of the Everlasting Gospel unto this
Generation to save the honest & meek of the Earth & the leave
the wicked without excuse in the day of Gods Judgment, & prepare the
way for the Coming of the Son of man. He was a good & Elect man
& laid the foundation of a great work which Neither men nor Devils
can overthrow. He greatly Desired the Happiness & Salvation of all
good men He sealed his testimony with his Blood & will Receve
a Marters Crown. Brigham Young is his successor in office
He is the leader of the people the spirit & power of God & all the Rights
is upon him. He is the Governor of Utah, He is the Choice of
the people becaus his acts are Righteous & the people know that God
is with him. ^that He may live long upon the earth together with his co[un]cellors^ to be a Blessing unto the Saints is the daily prayer of the whole Church & kingdom of God [sideways text] on the Earth Yours Truly W Woodruff [end of sideways text]
