==The Chicago Times of Feb. 15 says==

The Mormon missionaries have met with such success at Williamsburgh, New York, that they propose to buy out one of the Gentile churches in that place. It is suggested that Congress should hasten to interdict the transaction. But in that case, the Mormons might proceed to buy out Congress; though at the rate they are now making converts in New England, it would seem hardly necessary. New England once Mormonized, Congress, instead of suppressing polygamy, would enact a law to protect it.

A telegraphic dispatch in the Deseret News, Feb. 25, says that Mormon preachers had been warned out of the village of East Meadow, Long Island, New York, by a Vigilance Committee, on pain of being mobbed, and had left for Patchogue, expecting to return when the disturbances should cease.
