We have done this under Ihe awful conviction that it might be an inspired production, and we have no desire to run the risk of being damned lor tampering with inspiration. 1 0 bo sure, if your document it an inspi red one, we at once proceed to throw " Webster's unabridged to the moles and the bats; but this would be quite as easy a task for us to perform in yielding lo the inspiration of Mormonism, as the one of yielding all our old preconceived notions regarding the rules of logio in apportion, ing the amount of evidence to the magni tude of the proposition lo be demonstrated, as alto our old cherished notions of virtue, of pure religion, and of social and domes tic order. You " have been sent hero by tha proper authorities," of course, but whether you are a messenger from God, man, or Ihe Devil, you have not seen fit lo inform us ; but, while we are led to in fer that you are a messenger from God, we do hope you will not think us harsh and uncharitable when we assure you that af ter having heard several discourse from you, ami reading your communication, we are inclined lo believe that your commit sion emanated from no higher source than Itnghani ioung, who keeps a harem in ball Lake City.
