Bennett as He Was

How a man can talk with the 'livery of heaven on to serve the devil in.'

From the Times and Seasons, Oct. 1840.

'Fudge! We repeat, Smith and Rigdon should not be given up. The law requiring the Governor of our State to deliver up fugitives from justice, is a salutary and wise one, and should not in ordinary circumstances be disregarded, but as there are occasions that authorize the citizens of a State to resent a tyranical [tyrannical] and oppressive government, so there are occasions when it is not only the privilege, but the duty of the Governor of the State to refuse to surrender the citizens of his State upon the requisition of the Executive of another,-and this we consider as the case of Smith and Rigdon.'-Quincy Whig.

The foregoing article, from the pen of the editor of the Quincy Whig, reflects great credit on the head and heart of the writer. The sentimets [sentiments] it contains are liberal, noble, just-the offspring of wisdom and understanding. It completely uses up the Uncircnmcised [Uncircumcised] Philistians [Philistines] of Missouri, and places the Mormon people just where they have ever taken shelter-under the broad folds of the Constitution-and I, therefore, commend it to the favorable consideration of all the saints of light. The grievances of this people must be redressed, and my hands shall help to do it-should they have to reach to the highest courts of heaven, dig to the lowest bowels of hell, or encompass the broad expanse of the universe of God, to consumate [consummate] so desirable a result.

JOAB,

General in Israel.'
