THE 

Mystery  Solved:  or,  Ireland's  Miseries; 

THE  GRAND  CAUSE  AND  CUHE. 

BY  THE  REV.  DR.  DILL. 

AVITU  AN  INTRODUCTION  BY  A  MINISTER  OF  TORONTO. 

This  work  proves  to  a  demonstration  that  the  grand  cause  of  Ire- 
land's misery  is  Popery,  and  the  cure  the  Gospel.  It  prore.^  by 
public  statistics  that  just  in  proportion  to  the  prevalence  of  Popery 
m  any  section  of  the  country,  from  a  province  down  to  a  hamlet, 
do  ignorance,  crime,  wretchedness,  and  degredation  prevail.

formed  out  ol'disinii'iirateil  leliUpathie  rocks  of  tiie  summits,  and  mixed 
Avilh  thedeliris  and  deeoin]i(ised  limestones  from  the  lower  iiltitudes.  As 
many  as  sixty  Im-^lu'ls  of  wheat  are  usually  ;rro\iii  to  the  acre,  tind  when 
strict  re;:ard  has  liccn  ]iaid  to  wateriiiu;  the  crops,  a  greater  yield  has

ill  order  to  cstiinati^  the  probable  anuaint  of  population  which  can  veil 
be  sustained  in  the  territory,  we  may  safely  rely  on  an  e(|uivaleiit  of  two

LATTER-DAY  SAINTS'  FAITH. 


"Wc  hrliovo  in  God  tho  ctcrual  Father,  and  his  son  Joeus  Chriat,  mvl 
in  tlu!  liiily  Ghnst. 

Wo  lioliovo  that  men  will  be  punished  fur  their  own  sins,  and  not  for 
Aiimn'n  traiit<,u;re,ssions. 

\V('  holievo  tl-.at  tliroiijrli  the  atoiicmont  of  Christ  nil  mankind  may  bo 
savoii,  l)y  olieJioiico  to  tho  laws  anil  ordinances  of  the  (iosiiel. 

We  boliovo  that  these  ordiiiani'os  nre^ — 1st.  Faith  in  tho  Lord  Jesiin 
Christ:  '2d.  Kenentanco:  .'id.  IJaptisiu  liy  immersinn  for  tlio  remission  of 
sins:  4th.  Ijaymj;  o)i  of  hands  by  thy  gil't  of  the  lltdy  ^jiirit:  5th.  Tho 
Jiiird's  Sulkier. 

We  believe  tliat  men  must  be  ealled  of  flod  by  inspiration,  and  by 
layinj;  on  of  liMiids  from  those  who  av(>  duly  eouunissioned  to  prcaeh  the 
(iospel,  and  administer  in  tiie  oniiiiaiices  ibere<if. 

We  believe  in  the  same  orj::anizalion  that  existed  'n  t!-.e  priraitivi' 
elmreli.  viz:  apostles,  prophets,  jiasturs,  teachers,  evangelists,  ie. 

We  believe  in  the  powers  and  ;;ifts  of  the  cverlastin;;;  ijdspel,  viz:  thr 
;:ift  of  faitli,  discerning;  iifspirils,  jirupliccy,  revcliitluu,  visiim:-,  heiiliu^. 
tons;nes,  and  the  intcrprelatiun  of  tiiiij;,ues,  wisdom,  charity,  Ir^ithorly 
love,  i'i:e. 

We  liellin-e  the  wnnl  of  fiod  recorded  in  the  I'ible,  we  also  believe  thi> 
■word  of  (iod  recorded  in  the  IJook  of  Mormon,  and  in  all  other  good 
lioiiks. 

We  lielii>ve  all  that  Hod  has  revctilcd.  all  that  he  docs  now  reveal,  and 
wn  believe  that  hi>  will  reveiil  many  more  threat  anci  importimt  thiii;;^ 
pertaining  to  tho  kiiigdiim  of  (iod  and  Messiah's  .second  coniing. 

We  believe  in  the  literal  pitlieriug  of  Israel,  and  in  the  restoration  of 
the  ten  tribes,  that  /.ion  will  lie  oiaMisheil  upon  the  western  efintinent, 
that  Christ  will  reign  personally  upon  the  earth  a  thousand  years,  and 
that  the  earth  will  bo  renewed,  and  receive  its  purailinaieal  glory. 

We  belii've  in  the  literal  resurrection  of  the  body,  and  that  the  rest  '■! 
tho  ilead  live  not  again  until  tlie  thousand  years  are  expired. 

Wc>  (daim  the  pri\il(>ge  of  worshipping  .Vhuighty  (iod  according  to  th>- 
(lictates  of  our  conscieiiee,  unmolested,  and  allow  all  men  llie  saiU' 
pri\ile:;e,  let  them  worship  how  or  where  they  may. 

We  believi,'  in  being  snliject  to  kings,  ipie(;tis,  ]U'esidents,  rulers,  nii'l 
magistrates;  in  obeying,  lioiioring,  and  sustaining  the  law. 

We  bidieve  iti  being  honest,  true,  (diaste,  temperate,  benevolent,  vir- 
tuous, and  ujiriglit,  and  in  doing  good  to  all  men;  indeed,  we  may  sav 
that  we  follow  the  admonition  of  I'aul,  we  "iKdievi!  all  things,"  we  "hop'' 
i\\\  tilings,"  we  have  endured  very  many  tilings,  and  hopo  to  be  aide  t' 
■'(Midiire  all  things."  Kverv  thing  lowly,  virtuous,  praisi'worthy,  and  u! 
good  report,  we  seek  after,  looking  forward  "to  the  recompense  of  re- 
ward."    Ibit,  nil  idle  or  la/.y  p.'rson  cannot  be  a  Christian,  uoither  liuv"

CHAPTER  V. 
SAMK  SUBJECT— MASOiMtY—IIlEllOGLyrillCS. 

Of  the  introduction  of  sin.  and  rise  and  progress  of  Satan,  we  have 
heard  this  account  given,  and  "  iiroved  by  their  Hcriptures." 

After  Adam  had  fallen  from  his  first  e.^tate,  a  couneil  yras  liold  in 
Iltjaven,  and  all  the  members  were  present.  Anujng  theui  was  lie  who 
is  emjiliatieally  called  The  Son,  and  likewise  liiiciler,  the  elder  brother, 
the  Son  <if  the  Mornin;;,  the  bright  star  in  glory,  and  leader  of  heavenly 
hosts.  The  iiro|iiisiti(m  was  laid  beforo  the  council  "  how  man  shot'lil 
be  saved  or  reileenied  from  the  state  of  evil;"  and  each  one  cnlleJ 
upon  to  give  his  method  of  salvation.  AVhen  Lucifer  was  appealed 
tt),  ho  declared  that  "ho  would  save  him  !«  Ids  sins;"  but  Christ 
answered,  "  1  will  save  him  from  his  sins." 

The  latter  was  deemed  the  true  way  by  the  Father,  and  accepted  : 
whereujioii  the  Son  of  the  Morning  took  ollVnce  and  rebelled,  with  thv 
legions  ho  managed  to  corru)it.  and  was  therefore  cast  out  ol'  the  jilant- 
tary  abodi!  of  the  Fatucr,  and  became  the  great  leader  of  e\il  spirits, 
under  the  name  of  Satan  ;  but  he  brought  with  him  many  of  the  nolli 
qualities  he  ever  possessed — is  still  ^lilton's  "  Archangel  ruined,  auJ 
a  jicrfect  gentlenuin." 

.\11  the  meaner  temptations  and  evil  arts  are  practised  only  bv  tlit 
baser  sort  of  imps,  hence  some  |ieo]ile  are  very  uncharitablo  in  cLarg- 
iiig  all  blame  upon  the  "  \w\n\  devil,"  as  they  often  call  him. 

Till!  idea  they  entertain  of  the  personal  agency  of  this  "  fine  gentle- 
man," may  be  gathered  from  (iie  anecdotes  rife  among  thi'ui  of  hi? 
doings  with  Sidney  Kigdon,  who,  fnun  being  the  next  in  rank  to  lii' 
prophet  •Fosepli,  ajiostatised,  through  the  love  of  good  cheer,  ami 
ambition  to  be  head,  lie  bad  receixetl  a  great  many  visits  from  hii^ 
angel,  as  he  supposed,  and  many  revelations  :  but  one  night,  whik 
asleep,  he  was  urouseil  by  so  mighty  a  shake,  that  he  was  nnide  aware 
that  no  ordinary  hand  was  \ipon  him  :  indeed,  his  satanie  majesty  w;.« 
fully  confesseil,  for  he  ]iroci<e(l(d  to  tilt  np  the  bed,  and  handle  Sindcv 
most  roughly  ;  and  then,  taking  him  by  tlie  legs,  trundled  him  down 
the  stairs,  as  one  would  drag  a  wheelliarrow  behind  him,  witloait  menv 
upon  the  grey  head,  as  it  thuni[ied  every  steji  ;  and,  finally,  hindiii;; 
the  Hufl'erer  in  the  street,  disappeared  " //Ar  miwlie."  ThistrfMitiuenI 
was  repeated  several  t  nies.  but  'twere  of  no  tiso  to  suggest  that  Bonu'

Till'  aiMltioinil  of  wivos,  after  the  first,  to  a  man's  fiinily,  is  failed  a 
"grnlinn'  to  liini.'' 

This  coiistitiitos  a  relation  with  all  the  ri;:.,ts  and  sanetioiis  of  niatri- 
mouv: — mid  as  they  elaiin  to  have  tlu^  oiilv  true  |irii'sthoipil,  whieh  alono 
04n  iiiiid  till'  parties  in  the  holy  state  and  make  them  "(iiie  ll^'^.ll,"  it 
follouM  that  they  have  the  only  true  marria;;"s  imw  existing;  iiimiii  earth. 

Thus  n;iiiiriled  in  the  motive,  and  ili'iioiiiiei'il  a^  sin  for  other  eimsidera- 
tloii  than  divine,  the  praetieal  working;-  of  the  system,  so  far  as  now 
eXtuiidi.'il,  has  I'M-ry  apiiearanee  of  deroniin.  The  roinantie  notion  of  w 
gtolLde  love  is  ilerided.  and  met  hy  ealliiij;  attention  to  the  ease  of  parental 
rfcetioii:  where  the  father's  u;ood  will  is  liestowed  alike  on  earli  of  hia 
nanv  ehildreii;  and  they  preli'iid  to  see  a  more  rational  applieatioii  of  a 
g6iii'niii>  soul   in   lovinu'   inure  than  one  will',   than   in   the   hii^otry  of  a 

S'tial  ailhi'siiin.  The  Seer  almie  has  the  power,  whieh  he  can  use  iiy 
e^Mtiiiii,  of  jrrantiin;  the  privile^-i'  of  ihrreasinj/;  the  mimlier  of  wives; 
the  rule  of  primitive  a^es  is  applied  in  the  rase,  and  the  suitor  must  first 
hftVe  the  eiiiiseiit  of  the  pari'iits,  then  eoiisiilt  the  lady,  and  the  Ster. 

JE'.ery  iiiiniarried  woman  has  a  ri'j;lit  to  ilemand  a  man  in  marriajre,  if 
gbe  is  iii"j:lei-ti'il,  on  the  ^roiiiid  of  the  privile;re  of  >al\alioii:  and  the 
P^sidi'nt  who  rei-eives  the  petitioii  must  provide  for  her:  and  he  lia.s 
th6  aiuliiii'ity  to  eoiiiiiiainl  any  man  he  deems  competent  to  snp|iort  her, 
"to  seal  her  '  to  himself  in  niarria'j:i';  and  the  man  so  ordered  must  show 
juit  cause  and  inipediment  why  it  shoiihl  not  he  done,  if  he  dislikes  tlio 
OlUon:  or  else  lie  considered  con  tiiiiiacioiis  and  "in  daii;ierol' the  coiineil.'' 

■The  Soer  sometimes  has  to  exercise  his  jndjrment  in  iM-eveiitiii;i:  incou- 
puoiis  sealin;;;  from  unworthy  motives,  and  to  tell  such  that  what  they 
noitr  esti'i'ia  a  privilege,  will  turn  out  soon  to  lie  a  Imrden. 

This  interfer  'lice  with  the  kiiif;iloiu  of  C'lipiil  imIIs  fur  most  judicious 
nMBsuri's  on  his  part,  for  in  ili!«t  court  his  decisions,  j;niileil  hy  Hcasuli, 
art  apt  to  he  deimirri'd  to  hy  I'assioii.  Uiit.  as  he  can  join,  so  ton  call 
h«amiiil  the  contract,  and  dissulve  the  relationship  of  the  parties,  when, 
aft|r  he  has  counselled  tlc'in  and  j^iven  them  a  proper  pmliation,  they 
BtiH  timi  an  ineoiupalihility  to  exist.  Out  of  this  matter  ;;rows  an  ini- 
-•*Bsr  power,  haseil  upon  his  kiiowli'dj;i'  of  all  the  domestii'  relations  in 
iw-cileuy; — such  di'licafe  eoiilideiice  lie;;ets  a  reverence  and  fear,  anil 
whOe  tliiii;;s  proceed  harmoniously,  a  love  to  him  as  their  adviser  and 
friepiil.  And  as  the  peace  of  the  society  depends  materially  on  that  of 
families,  he  watches  over  this  part  of  the  prem^cative  with  ureal  soliciuule, 
and  keeps  the  parties,  so  far  as  practicahle,  ii)!  to  their  eii'j;a.i;einents. 

In  --ome  instances  several  wives  occupy  the  >ami'  house  and  the  same 
room,  as  their  dvvellin^is  have  jj;enei'ally  one  apartment,  nut  it  is  usual 
to  board  out  til"  extra  ones,  who  most  l'ri'i|uently  "pay  their  own  way,'' 
by  scvviii'j:.  and  other  female  employments.  It  i*  hut  i'.iirness  to  add  that 
thoy  hold  the  time  near  at  hand  |iredicted  hy  Isaiah,  "when  seven  womeii 
Bhail  take  hold  of  ilie  >kirt  of  one  man  and  say.  We  will  eat  mir  own  hread, 
but  let  us  he  calleil  hy  thy  name:" — -which  ;.;ives  the  assurance  that 
plurality  is  loreteld  ami  correctly  practised  liy  them. 

It  is  only  a  little  in  aiiticipalioii  of  the  time  when  "the  liattles  of  tlic 
Lord"  are  to  h'-unn.  iind  then,  us  the  women  are  far  more  pure  than  the 
raon,  the  females  will  :;ri'atly  luitnniulier  the  imiles.  fn-  ihe  latter  wll'  ho 
BWept  o;f  iiy  swi.rd  and  pestilence,  am'  the  other  reserved  to  increase  tin; 
retinnouf  thos,i'  us;  and  many  women  will  thus  liu  eumpuUed  to  i.liouso

tho  Utah  war  was  resnlved  uiinn. 

TSwn  eninpanies  fi'imi  the  City  nf  Salt  Luki-  joined  tho  forccH  in  Utah 
valfey,  and  pnu'eedod  to  attaek  the  i(narters  uf  tho  Indians.  Tho  latter 
WtW  well  [I'lsted  in  the  dry  ehannels  of  the  TiuijiairiKiis,  and  sereenei! 
by  ft  e.iltiinwoiid  fnrest  nnd'thiek  willow  elnmiis,  but  were  liiuilly  driven 
out  by  the  cannon  and  rilles  at  lonii;  shots,  after  three  days'  wkirinisliinn 
The  soldiers  retired  every  ni;rht  to  the  fort,  a  mile  distant  fnnn  the 
battle-field.  OiH'  voiiii;:  ni'an  of  the  assailants  was  killed.  The  Indians 
deoaniiied  the  tliird  nifdit  for  the  niountaiii  kanyons,  now  tiUed  with 
8onw.  and  the  measles  lieiii;;  anions;  tliem.  the  ex|iosuri!  killed  nianv. 
"Old  KIk,"  the  terror  of  liie  nioiiiitaiiis,  was  found  dead  on  the  trail. 
lie  had  lo'ii;r  imasud  ilmt  no  siii;;ie  |ii'rson  or  trajiper  eonid  live  with 
him  in  the  valleys,  and  niimliers  iiiv  su|iiioseil  to  have  fallen  under  Jiis 
rifle.  A  nartv  was  driven  up  Table  Mountain,  but  W"re  indiiced  to  eoine 
down  and  sui'i'i'inler,  They  were  ;:;iiarded  in  eaiii|i  until  the  morning, 
and  then  urderi'il  to  jrive  up  tln'ir  weapons.  'J'hey  ri  fused  to  do  thii-, 
and  actiiiu' in  it  sullen  and  hostile  manner,  were  Ii  red  upon  and  nearly 
all  killed  Tiiinu'iliately.  A  fmv  broke  throii;:li  the  line  of  sentinels  and 
«ndeftVoiiri-d  to  escape  by  crossing  the  lake  on  the  ice,  but  tlicy  were 
cLaaed  down  by  horsemeu  and  "  ceased  to  bniathe.''  .My  inlbrmant 
was  an  actor  in  the  terrible  scene,  and  seemed  dis|iosed  to  paint  it  in  as 
soft  colors  :i<  pM-^ililc.  A  like  cliastisemeni  was  jiiveii  tlieyear  jirevii  us 
toa«mall  liaod  of  Shoshones,  and  a  seemid  has  since  been  inllicted  on 
the  Ut;ilis,  and  lie  cliief,  I'atsowits.  eane;ht  and  killed  by  the  boWHtrin;.'; 
and  this  ilcir'Uiiih  work  ni;:kes  an  impression  on  tliemtliat  they  will  feu' 
to  offend,  whlcli  is  ihe  hniiciiie  polii-y.  Had  public  >eiiliinent  sanctioned 
a  similar  pelicv  with  the  .Siniinolcs,  what  sa..-riliecs  of  blood  and  treasure 
WOOld  ha\e  been  avoided  ! 

AV""'  l"''l.v  were  killed  by  powder  and  measles  :  and  the  band  of  old 
"  Stick-iiilbcdicail,"  a  chief  of  note,  was  so  thiiied  that  they  immediately 
bagged  fer  pence.  A  lai'^c  number  of  prisoners  were  taken,  nuistly 
'WOUt«n  and  cliildren,  carried  into  Fort  I'tali,  and  liid;;i'd  under  the 
cannon platfoi 111  in  tents  until  they  could  be  distributed  amonejthe  fanii- 
IJOS  ill  tic  \alley.  They  were  fed  liounleously  on  beef,  and  it  was  a  siirlit 
for  ft  paiiiicr  to  see  this  motley  ;;roup  least  on  the  e;enerosity  of  the  eap- 
turen.  ."^ipiaws  and  children  were  ;;eiierously  taken  into  the  houses. 
and  the  trial  made  to  teach  them  doniestie  ser\  ice.  But  it  wn.s  a  failure  ; 
they  soon  deserted  the  riiiiiji)ii.i  uf  the  white  man's  house  for  tho  snowy 
liooMOl  tile  kaiiyoiis. 

Kka  curious  matter  of  rcllection,  that  those  whose  iiiin.sioii  it  is  to 
convert  tlcsc  iilmri^'ines  by  the  sword  of  the  spirit,  should  thus  be 
obliged  lo  destroy  liini — liiil  they  stoutly  altirm  that  these  peoiile  will 
_yet,  und"i-  their  instruction,  i'ullil  the  prophecy  tlct  "  a  nation  sliiill 
bo  born  ill  a  day  :"  and  whei'.  ti.ev  have  completed  the  destined  time.

enticing,  of  the  head-waters  of  the  Yellow  Stone.  A  lake  sixty  nii: 
long,  cold  and  j/ellucid,  lies  embosomed  amid  high  precipitous  dkl: 
tains.  On  the  west  side  is  a  sloping  plain  several  miles  wide,  w; 
clumps  of  trees  and  groves  of  pine.  The  ground  resounds  to  the  ti-. 
of  horses.  Geysers  spout  up  seventy  feet  high,  with  a  terrific  his..;; 
noise,  at  regular  intervals.  AVaterfalls  are  sparkling,  leapinj:,  :. 
tlmndering  down  the  precipices,  and  cullcct  in  the  pool  lielow.  I 
river  issues  from  this  lake,  and  for  fifteen  miles  roars  through  tlic 
pen<licular  kanyon  at  the  outlet.  In  this  section  are  the  Great  iSprit. 
so  hot  that  meat  is  readily  cooked  in  them,  and  as  they  descend  on: 
Hucccssivo  terraces,  affonl  at  length  delightful  Ijaths.  Ou  the  other. 
is  an  aciit  spring,  which  gUHlies  out  in  a  river  torrent;  and  Ijolow.

CHAPTER  VIII. 


SELF-GOVKRNMENT. 

_BfDnoluding  our  notice  of  this  new  territory,  and  of  its  peculiar 
peoillliiwe  may  bo  allowed  once  more  to  advert  especially  to  the  subject 
of  dOltoolliiig  the  government  of  Deseret.  We  hear  that  olficors  sent  to 
Ifcenllfcivc  had  their  i'eiilings  so  outraged  by  treasonable  expressions  to- 


wardsHl 


aipreme  gdveniment,  that  they  have   felt   it  their  duty  to 
retunt  and  place  the  subject  before  the  national  legislature  aiid_  tho 
chief  Jnagistrate.     This  may  have  resulted  iVmii  too  hasty  conclusions, 
end  from  r.ut  marking  tln^  riualilications  usually  due  to  such  denuncia- 
A lining  portions  of  the  citizens  in  every  Stale,  ive  may  hear  very 
•icius  terms  used.     The  guveninieiit  is  lVei|uently  pro(daimed  cor- 
1  dangerous  to  liberty,  in  party  declaniatiuii  :  the  writers  and 
being  ready  to  defend  it,  howevi'r,  with  their  lifi.'-blood. 
iw  that  a  prejudice  existed  against  the  ajijiointment  of  one,  at 
1  went  to  Utah  in  an  otlicial  cap.\city  ;  and  the  Mormons  wero 
to  receive  him  with  distrust,  politically  and  mnrally;  and  how- 
just  the  pejudice,  it  undoulitedly  had  its  bad  intluenco — and  in 
Ig  one  witii  harsh  language,  llie  cause  may  Icivo  become  common 

|th('  .Mormons  regard  themselves  as  jilaced  in  the  position  of  our 
_  I  fatheis;  with  this  ditference,  that  t'.ie  latter  felt  the  burden  of 
taxatWtt  without  ri;preseiUatioii ;  the  Mornioii>,  an  injustice  in  enforcing 
law  upsn  tliem  by  Jiiivii/ncra.  They  havi;  formed  everything  on  tho 
model  of  a  repulilican  State;  adopted  a  constitutli.n.  liberal,  free,  and 
tolerant  of  cunsi'ience  in  religion  ;  and  havi;  ii  crii.iinal  code  which 
applies  to  their  peculiar  situation  and  feelings.  U  is  not  to  be  pre- 
sumed that  lawyers,  though  eminent  at  home,  Iresl,  from  crowded  cities, 
and  long  (h-illeil  in  umnicipal  laws  suited  to  old  societies,  can  have  a  just 
appreoiation  of  the  statutes  of  this  wild  coumry,  which  have  a  peculiar 
religious  sanction  from  the  dependence  of  the  "civil  code  on  ivnid/ioii. 
Nor  will  the  community  place  the  same  conlidenco  in  such  judges,  as  in 
those  whose  aciiuaintaiice  with  their  views  and  opinions  is  a  matter 
of  esperience  :  and  whose  interests  and  sympathy  are  bound  up  togo- 
ther.  And,  too,  we  must  reniembei' that  it  is  a  niatter  of  conscience  to 
bring  all  sulijeets  of  contention  before  the  he;iils  uf  their  own  family,  tho 
household  of  the  Uiurch.

A  Fecond  ocmsideration,  arising  from  the  same  cause,  is  in  the  rla: 
of  parents  and  <'hildren.  .Separated  now  from  those  who  can  poro- 
them,  it  is  hard  to  keep  up  the  enthusiasm  of  the  mass,  by  refen'w 
tlie  ijerseeutions  beretol'un'  endured.  Hut  to  the  young,  the  eliiklr.: 
Uie  mountains,  these  ari'  '■  oft-t(d(l  tales."  ji'june  anil  tiresome.  '. 
youth  there  are  no  fanatics,  and  soem  to  care  lait  little  for  the  diU. 
doctrines. 

And  the  eontemiilation  of  |)lurality  is  highly  distasteful  to  the  v. 
ladies   of  any  indepi'iidence   if  fciding.   however  aci|uics(ed   in  liv; 
more  ailvani-ed  in  age.     'I'lo^  subject  was  jdaccd  before  one  in   ilsi-

my  last  bride  No.  17  :  how  sweet  a  jrirl  she  i.'^— really  I'm  sorry  t"

"' \o  .'^ir,   I'd  die  first."     A\'e  are  informed  that   many  ou  the  f'ri:
