If the General Government has no power, to re-instate expelled citizens to their rights, there is a monstrous hypocrite fed and fostered from the hard earnings of the people!— A real “Bull Beggar” upheld by Sycophants; and altho’ you may wink to the Priests to stigmatize; wheedle the drunkards to swear, and raise the hue and cry of Imposter, False Prophet, God dam old Joe Smith, yet remember, if the Latter Day Saints are not restored to all their rights, and paid for all their lossses according to the known rules of Justice and Judgment, reciprocation and common honesty among men, that God will come out of his hiding place and vex this nation with a sore vexation— yea, the consuming wrath of an offended God shall smoke through the nation, with as much distress and woe, as Independence has blazed through with pleasure and delight. Where is the Strength of Government? Where is the Patriotism of a Washington, a Warren, and Adams? and where is a spark from the Watch fire of ’76, by which one candle might be lit that would glimmer upon the confines of democracy? Well may it be said that one man is not a State; nor one State the nation. In the days of General [Andrew] Jackson, when France refused the first instalment for spoliations, there was power, force, and honor enough to resent injustice and insult, and the money came. And shall Missouri filled with Negro drivers, and White Men Stealers, go “unwhipt of Justice” for tenfold greater sins than France? No; verily no! while I have powers of body and mind; while water runs and grass grows; while virtue is lovely and vice hateful; and while a stone points out a sacred spot where a fragment of American Liberty once was, I, or my posterity, will plead the cause of injured innocence until Missouri makes atonement for all her sins— or sinks disgraced, degraded and damned to hell— “where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched.”
