“Latter-Day Saints,” since they located on their “eternal inheritance” in Jackson county,
Missouri: this we have done with “an eye single” to truth, denouncing and exposing
whatever has been done amiss by either party.

troubles in Missouri, and promulged in the most solemn and impressive manner, amongst

places, and contributions raised to repair their imaginary losses. It has been our aim to
disabuse the public mind on this subject, and refute various slanders against the citizens
of Missouri. We are indebted to Mr. E. D. Howe’s labors for a portion of the fore-part of
