Anti-Morman Almanac for 1842.—It is a sad comment on the human mind that is furnished by a publication like this—and yet it is Scriptural. Men have found out "many inventions." "Madness is in their hearts." The imposture of Mormonism is well shown in this little family annual, by quotations from its own writers and from a Congressional document, proving that it authorizes "Theft, Robbery, High treason and Murder." It is an humiliating fact, that a tract of this kind has become needful—but we cannot deny the fact, if it be true as here state, that the Mormons already number 40,000, and are rapidly increasing in the western states, and beginning to avow their intention to take possession of the country, "peaceably if they can, violently if they must."
