[Utah War]: [Mormon Church
MORMONISM - INCREASE OF THE ARMY. SPEECH OF HON. JOHN THOMPSON OF NEW YORK. DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JANUARY 27 1858
Washington D.C. 1858. 8pp. Folded quarto sheet. Two soft horizontal creases some dust-soiling and edge wear minor fold separations. Good. A decidedly anti-Mormon speech delivered in the midst of the Utah War on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman John Thompson who concludes by arguing the absolute necessity of increasing the size of the army to suppress the Mormon conflict. Thompson is clearly no fan of the Mormons. He presents polygamy as a threat to America and argues for harsh treatment of the Mormons in Utah. Thompson categorizes the founder of Mormonism Joseph Smith as possessing "that singular compound of genius and folly of cunning and absurdity of indolence and energy of craft and earnestness which distinguished him to the end of his career." Thompson accuses Smith of attempting "to introduce communism" through his "spiritual despotism." But he reserves his most vicious rhetoric for Brigham Young and the Mormons currently fighting U.S. forces in Utah: <br> <br> "What will you do with Utah.I would send an army there sufficient to apprehend Young and his co-conspirators against the authority of the General Government - who will be found to include every lord of the seraglio - try them for treason and hang every one without distinction who should be found guilty; excluding every Mormon from any participation in the legal processes of the court." <br> <br> A rare official screed against the Utah Mormons whose ultimate surrender to the U.S. government in mid-1858 resulted in Brigham Young's removal as territorial governor. The conflict and its aftermath left a rift between the Utah Mormons and the U.S. government that delayed Utah statehood for almost forty years. OCLC records only eighteen copies. FLAKE 8939 unknown

AN INQUIRY INTO THE FITNESS OF ATTENDING PARLIAMENT: IN A LETTER FROM A MEMBER TO HIS FRIEND WHO HAS ABSENTED
London: T. Coope 1739. 228pp. Lacks half title. Modern tan half morocco and cloth spine gilt. Minor soiling and wear. Very good plus. Letter concerning the secession on March 9 1739 of the "Patriots" from the House of Commons over the negotiations preceding the War of Jenkins' Ear. The Patriots were Tories and disaffected Whigs who opposed Sir Robert Walpole the first Prime Minister. Walpole argued for peace and moderation in dealing with Spain and he was supported by a scant majority. This letter presents the informed view of a member of Parliament displaying the furor in England for the protection of their American trade and decrying the factitious nature of English politics. The secession proved advantageous for Walpole because it allowed him to push through several bills relating to the free exportation of sugar and molasses from the West Indian Colonies. ESTC T138894.
