Not an inconsiderable partof the inhabitants of this Territory are the dregs of Europeqn governments. gathered in hordes by the Mormon missionaries in Europe and ticketed through from Liverpool. Berlin. Vienna. and Stockholm to what they are led to believe is the modern Zion. the New Jerusalem. and a land flowing with milk and honey. And while other immigrants to this country become to some extent at least Americanized by their surroundings. no such happy change takes place among the foreign immigrants.to this Godforsaken Mormon city. The Republican party in its earliest conventions denounced the twin barbarisms. slavery and polygamy. and pledged itself to the overthrow of both. The first promise has been redeemed. at the expense of rivers of blood. thousands of lives. and billions of treasure.
