Lonpon, Dec, 7, 1887. ‘The Mormon Vancouver Movement— Preparing the Disciples for the Din of War—the Blood of ‘16 Stitt Warm—A Warlike Somg—The Lord to Fight the Battles of the Saints —Great Manifestations of Power Expected—Final Vic tory of the Saints, be. ‘The statistics of Mormon emigration from this country to the United States, which I furnished you with in my last communication, having demanded more space and time than J at first calculated, I found myself, in propar- ing for the departure of the mail by the Baltic, forced to withhold other items then in my possession relating both to the Vancouver movement and to the teachings that the faithful are receiving here upon the approaching conflict between Utah and the government of the United States. The increasing interest growing up everywhere and daily making itself manifest on Mormon affairs induced mo thus early to again take my pon on these subjects. On the same day that I forwarded you my last letter the Times came out with a stinging editorial on the resent news from Utah, which I presume you received by the Baltio’s mail. The writer, while sustaining and urg- ing on the government of the United States to a vigorous course of policy with the Mormons, makes an unfortunate admission—admits precisely what the Mormons assert, and that which the goyernment of President Buchanan denies. The article had evidently been written “ton the spur of the moment,’ as I should not think that reflection would have dictated that polygamy had brought about the present difficulties with Utah, ag that writer states, ‘That admitted, would give a coloring to the Mormon state- ments that the present marching of forces to their Terri- tory was in consequence of their roligious faith and prac- tices springing therefrom—something which all admit, however humiliating the admission—as beyond the reach of the civil magistrate in a republic where all religions are tolerated. Such an aimission would produce the very sympathy they aim at creating; for however absurd areligion may be, there is a deep rooted opposition to persecution for faith. I see that the Morning Post takes up the report of the Mormons migrating from Utah to Vancouver's Island, and is much afraid that dealing with the Saints may yet fall to the lot of John Bull instead of Jonathan. The Post is generally regarded as the government organ, or ut least some connected with it get early posted on the feelings of the Premier or some of his Cabinet. The article in question bears traces of its ministerial origi; as the intention ofthe government to see to the colonization of that isiand at an early day, and of establishing there u British naval station of some importance, are facts of which the public were before in ignorance, and facts which have evidently shpped out from some of Palmer ston’s colleagnes. My first impression was that the Colo- nial Minister was its author, as the idea of having to march an Englixb army to drive out the Mormons, if they settled Ubere, was something which the writer thought might em- that minister; and as this feeling on the matter idently keen, I could not resist the impression that he was the writer. Be that as it may, the English govern- mont have enough of trouble on hand at present, and the prospect of its continuance for some time yet to come, without seeking more at such a distance from home, if it can be avoided. Thave before me the memorial which was presented by the leading men among the Mormons to hor Majesty, in the beginning of 1847, setting forth their scheme for the colonization of that island, and likely to be the scheme which they will again present, unless ordered otherwise. But for its levgth’ I would forward it to you. Me- morials in “mouarchicai countries are pretty much of the same stripe, replote with, “ We, the under- signed,” “your memorialists,” and a ‘long string ma Pliments, so that it is no loss to leave it out here. Tho pith of the Mormon memorial is, they wanted togo to Vancouvers; they told la petite bonne reine, a8 our neigh bors across the Channel! call our royal lady, that it would Dea great blessing to send industrious poor there—a blessing alike to the emigrants and to those of the samo class who stopped at home; that they had no money togo, ‘but if the government would give them a free passage they woald consent to terms honorable and advantageous to all concerned, terminating with— “Finally, the prayer which your memorialists offer at the footsteo! of Him by whom ki reign and princes de- cree justice, is that yor Majesty's reign may be protract- ‘od and peaceful in the midst of a devoted and prosperous people; that the choicest of heavenly blessings may de- scend Upon your Majesty’s person, upon your royal cou- sort and upon your illustrious offspring; and that, after a long and righteous admiuistration, you may be able to say, ‘When the ear heard’ me, then it blessed me, and when the “ye saw me it gave wit ness to me; because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatnerless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish camo upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness and it clothed me; my judgment was a Tobe and a diadem.’ And thus your memorialists will ever rot Prihis instrument measured 168 feet in length, and_con- tained nearly 13,000 names. A copy of the memorial was forwarded to each member of Parliament and other dis- tinguished individuals.

[have noticed this at length, as the su! is revived and exerciees nota little the minds of the Pri- Ush public. The Mormons never shared more attention here than at the present time, on account of the attitude of the people of Utab, and in this country dis- senters from that body are vigorous in their opposition to their once ‘ beloved brethren.” If we bad not the Intie war on hand, Mormonism would be the leading subject. Pefore leaving this T#hould say that though the Mormons had no hopes of material aid from the government, the emigration to Vancouver's Island would have been put in operation all the same, had not the valleys of Utah heen discovered in time to draw the emigrauts there. From my last letter you will perceive that within ten years from the time that the Vancouver memorial was on the tapis, the Mormons have by their own resources, and at much greater expense, emigrated to Utah as great a nam- ber of persons as those for whom they petitioned. The inference is here, with the brethren, the English wore working without a head to guide them, and thought they could do nothing for themselves. Brigham, once im the mountains, saw he could do what the British govern ment was afraid to look at, has done it, and can do as much again if he says so; and if the British government should render no assistance be can again be independent, land ncoomy As grent, OF & greater work, that which he done in the past ten years. Mut, after all ‘emigration from here to Vancouver, or from Utah to that istand, if either or both of them should occur, will be bat temporary, as, from one of by my letters, al! these sohemes are but for filing in the time till,as they believe, changes will have taken place and they can all return to Missouri. Tu the letter I allude to—of Vancouver—he says that he was greatly interested on the subject of “the emt- gration of the Saints from istand to island, ant i ing up of thelr wa from the four quarters of the place destination.” As Brigham’s overy word is watched and regarded as hetic by the faith- ful, the above bag me abides in their minds, and bly is that which leads them to anticipate ite fu!fimont now, in the absence of direct command on their future movem: ents. Under the heading ‘Utah News’ the editor of the Saint's Journal gives a short extract from a letier from Brigham Young, dated September 12, in which that high dignitary | alludes to the advance of the expedition under Col.

Doubtless for rersemachen the Mormon poet has in- dulged in the fanciful. At least it is to be hoped that scat tering “the host at a glance’ is not prophetic. 1a sober nees, however, I think that Uncle Sam need not get too nervous.

By way of encouragement to the disciples who might get scared over the warlike appearance of affairs in the Weat, the editor dives into Bible history for illustration of the preseut, and (rom there draws strong consolation. He says:— \ssered history abounds with evidence that, when they were led by God’s anvinted ones and living in obedience to his commands, Israel flourished and triumph: ed over all their enemies, When they were in boudage, the Lord delivered them with signs and wonders, by his out-stretsbed arm and with fary poured out. Pursued by their tyrants and oppressors, with the host of Pharaoh behind and the Red Sea betoro, hike a grim sentinel forbidding their passage, the God of Jacob was near, and waiting to save them. israel appeared to tho mighty ones of Igypt as an easy prey, and the fugitives were troubled and fain would have been in boudage again. But the angel of God became to the one a cloud of darkness; to the other a pillar of fire. By an east wind he divided the threatening sea, and his people passed over its bed dry shod. When the Egyptians pursued Isracl in the dangerous path the Lord rolled the billows over their heads, and the words of Moses wore falfiled. Pha. raoh’s host was seen no more, Again, when the chosen people were in the wilderness, aud burning thiset parched their tongues, from the solid rocks gushed forth cooling streams. When famishing for food, God sont them manna from heaven. If their enemies strove against them the Tord fought thoir battles; endowed with his might, ono man has put to flighta thousand. Did victory tarry, = Joshua would command the sun to stand still, and hide hot its face till Israel had conquered. ‘Though the chosen ‘ople were often stiffneckad, rebellious and given to ardness of heart, God ever sought occasion to help them, and by abundant favors and manifestations of great power he endeavored to inapire them with confideuos, aud prove to them that they might trust in him. There is abundant evidence that he was more willing to help them than they were to depend on him. “ Brethren and sisters, we bave the same God. He has received us as His people—chesen us, that He might again manifest His power in the oyes of the nations, and fill the world with his glory. Let the history of ancient Israel and God's dealings with them be to lern Israel a source of comfort and unshaken coufidence on the one hand—on the other a warning against ingratitude and a lack of reliance on the Mighty God of Jacob, and the prophets whom He given to lead them. The experience of this church af- fords ample proof that weean trust in Him. Never yet has He failed to help us in time of need, nor let an oppor. tunity pass without displaying His providence to angment the power of the Saints. If a cloud for , moment has overshadowed the children of Zion, and adversity over- taken them, the one has rolled y to show the increased glory of the Latter Day Kingdom, and the latter has speedily fied from the grasp of the growing giant. That which our enemies expected would destroy us has developed our strength; that which they imagined would nip our life has filled us with vigor. Had we walked in flowery paths our constitution would have been feeble and our feet -teli- cate. But the storms have mare us strong for the fight and the rocks on which we bave trod given stability lo our footsteps. Our expericnce proves that we can trost in God, and that the glorious destiny of Israel is not t be cut short, “Tt seema from the history of this Church, aa woll as from the history of ancient Isracl, that God bas brought his people into trait places to nhow bis power aud to mag. nifty hit caine. When berael bas been surrouuded with diffeuities, then His might has been mont displayed; and when the wolf has sought tw devour the flock, the Shep herd has been near to deliver. Therefore, when dangers threaten, let the Saints rejoice. Let them fear not, but ‘stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.’ From the foregoing it is easy to perceive that President Puchanan will have to take his place in Mormon history ‘a8 the I’haraoh of the last days.
