law-breakers within and without bounds;—let me quote from the 13th article of the aforesaid constitution, the 3d paragraph; ‘That the people have a right peaceably to assemble for their common good, and to apply to those vested with the powers of government, for redress of grievances; and that their right to bear arms in defence of themselves and of the , cannot be questioned.[’] This over-wise right of gun-fence was made, as I have learned, for breachy Indians, but was used by as a sine qua non, pointed with steel and burning with brimstone, to exterminate the Mormons. Truly, we may ask, what is right, and what is law, contrary to the constitution? The Legislature of acknowledged the exterminating order of as constitutional, and appropriated more than $200,000 to pay the drivers and robbers, and I may as well say, mobbers of the Mormons, for services rendered the in 1838. O Gladius! O Crumena!
