The editor worried through the winter
and began bravely in the spring advo
cating his Great North Platte Koute ,
but could not keep it up ; his last num
ber , dated , curiously , August 1st on the
outside and July 4th inside , is rather
the most interesting of the lot. He gives
on the front page a lurid prophecy of
Joseph Smith's , and then launches into
flaming and fervid editorials in the same

"Our boasted union is broken , severed
and destroyed , never again to arise.
Our national doom is sealed * # #
The blood of saints and prophets has
A terrible
gone unavenged * * #
doom is coming down on our nation in
tempests , blood , sorrow and death
* * # Let those who would not have
blood upon their garments , refuse to
take up the sword against his brother
and neighbor , and flee to the west , to
the mountains where peace and justice
reigns. "
"Friends and patrons , adieu. We
have accessed , and tomorrow shall start
westward and shall probably become a
citizen of Utah # # * We go from
turmoil , strife and bloodshed to seek
quiet in the happy , peaceful vales of
Utah * * * We are off for the
boundless west , still chasing the Star of
Empire on its flight toward sundown ,
and hope in some quiet mountain dell ,
to make a little Eden-like world of sun
shine , flowers and happiness , where
peace and plenty abound , and the
clangor of strife and bloodshed may
not be heard. Come then , ye who are
weary of strife , who are sad and sick at
heart come to the mountains where
the oppressed shall find a welcome.
"Come then come to peaceful , happy
Utah. "
