Mormonism

Mormonism.—A few deluded followers of Joe Smith have at length dared to hold forth in our city, and at a private house in Main-street are nightly dealing out damnation in large doses to those of its peaceful inhabitants who will not give heed to the revelation of Nephi, Mormon and the testimony of Smith, Rigdon & Co. and we are the more surprised to learn that some few of our citizens have already become enamored with this abominable delusion.

Most of our readers are no doubt acquainted with the origin and progress of this sect. A full examination and exposition of Mormonism, by Origen Bachelor, has been published in pamphlet form, to which we would refer those who wish to know more on the subject.
