the fore part of the day. I preached in the
Afternoon & expressed my feelings in plain-
ness upon various subjects. Afeter meeting I
repaired to the font & confirmed about
one hundred who were Baptized mostly for
their dead relations
19 Received a letter from Br Webster who
informed me that Sister Eunice had given
Birth to a son but that she was exceding low
& weak from her lungs complaint
21 spent the time in the printing office
The time has come when their is again great
excitement throughout the land against the
Saints. This excitement has arisen partly beca-
use the Saints feel dispose to exercise those rights
which the Constitution & Laws of the United
States guarrentee unto us equal with all other
citizens in attending the elections & voting
for whom we please
Also Dr John Cook Bennet has been base wick
ed & corrupt & has been expeled from the Church
& has gone forth abroad in all the land
& is stiring up strife against the Saints by
lying against thJoseph & many others of the Church
offences truly come but wo unto those through
whom they come
