Concluding, I placed the 27ews on the tabic by my side, dispossessed myself o my daily wearing apparel and quitealone in ^ the possession of sound health, retired to my couch, with the impression upon my mind that Mr. ldair had certainly made out a very good case in favor of the. polygamy of the Mormons, although J was farfrom being satisfied as to the motivein seemingly at least .majcing so good his position, especially as 1 had previously been informed that this same man a few years ago, - when in Utah, veryvehemently opposed the doctrine he now so ably defends. However I conceived it quite possible for a man of progressive tendencies like MrBlair to change his mind, as I had done the like myself more than once iQ my hfe. In this state of mind I tried to give myself to sweet balmy slecv but like Dimel of old although not like him troubled in mind, sleep for awhile went from me. I however saw no personage either clothed in hvht or dark standing by my bedside, and yet, just as though some one were present I intuitively, asked the following questions: Who is this polvc-anious champion, and what are his reasons for defending so powerfully this very unpopular doctrine? Thought1, he must surely be a friend to theoppressed Saints; and, whilst hewould not, have but little, if any, clemency shown towards the Mormon leaders, who have led, and in many cases, through the. force of circumstances, driven their subjects into the meshes of polygamy and'other worseevils, he would have the people free to worship God as they pleased. Iout in the fullness of my soul,this man must be. a philanthropist:but, while musing thus. I received the following revelation:Mr, Blair is a thorough .Democrat, and'as such is opposed To Grant's administration, and having receivedconsiderable, encouragement in thetrom Elder Hooper ana ins brother.
