This Bill is entirely a Breach of the Constitution


of the United States condemns Men before trial or
conviction by a court or Jury, take away the rights of
a rtrial by a Jury of their peaers, Makes an Expose facto
law, and a Bill of Attainder, and takes away the rights
of Franchise of, Latter Day Saints for their Religin
and are Deprived of sitting on Juries for their
opinions sake. But if the Nation can stand it
we can. we have been looking for this for the Nation to
take a stand against the Saints and the Church and
Kingdom of God on the Earth Nthe Nation is taking
a stand against God, against Christ ag[ai]n[s]t the Church
the Kingdom & Zion of God on the Earth. they are
ripening in iniquity and turning the last keys that
will seal their condemnation that lingers not
and preparing themselves for Destruction
