I want to add, if that day shall come (when the punishments of God are upon the United States), through the rejection of this Gospel by the people of these United States, the Latter-day Saints will rise up in the power and majesty of the priesthood, and they will bear off the Constitution of the United States. That was given by revelation, and we will defend it with the last drop of blood we have in our bodies and the last dollar in our pockets; God will reject those wicked men and women who have sought to blind the minds of the honest and thereby brought trouble and woe upon this nation.

Those who will stand up for the rights of men will combine with us, and we will form a nucleus that shall uphold and sustain, by our patriotism, our acts, our means and our lives, the glorious institutions which God has founded for the express purpose of having this a free land, where His sons and daughters can come and rejoice in the plentitude of His mercies.

Who is there among the Latter-day Saints that will not live for this glorious end?
