I sayand that is the argument of the reportthat what the "State of Deseret" did after it became a Territory of the United States. and after the organic act was passed. was absolutely null and void. The incorporation of the church. therefore. has no sound foundation and has had none from the beginning. Afterward they incorporated the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Society and made it an annex to the church. for the board of the church was to appoint the board of managers of the Emigration Society. and they were to bring in people of the Mormon faith to swell time population of the Territory so that they might possess it for "the people of the Lord." Now. gentlemen. I have looked through the acts of the Assembly of Deseret and of Utah with great patience and in great detail. I believe I have seen every one of them. and six months ago f believe I could have stood an exam1ination upon them.
