==Mormonism==
Source: Newark Daily Advertiser, 11 March 1835, p. 2.

==Mormonism==
''Mormonism'', strange as it may appear, has found votaries even in New England,and in three or four neighboring towns, they have regular exercises. The society in South Hadley is partially Perfectionists and partially Mormon, exhortations, dancing, and all sorts of strange delusions and vagaries of the brain and contortions of the body being practised. This is the land of freedom and liberty, and we sometimes are disposed to think that the wildest extravagancies and grossest absurdities spontaneously come up under its broad banner. No other country on earth can boast of such varied forms of religious sects, and such palpable departures from the primitive simplicity and purity of the gospel, as this country. We would place no restraints upon the conscience of any man. We would not forge chains nor bind letters around any human mind, but we would gladly see public sentiment frown upon those mental hallucinations which disgrace christian lands, and shun communion with those preposterous forms of worship which are merely solemn mockeries of religion! The Mormons were disturbed in their assembly last week at South Hadley by some idle fellows, who were brought before Mr. Justice Wells in this town, and bound over for trial.—— [Northampton Courier.]
