The Mormons
The Liberator, v9 n15, 12 April 1839, p. 60.
The Mormons. The Atlas of Friday contains a long letter from Missouri, giving a particular account of the Mormons, in that State. In reference to the matter the editor observes.
From the statements published from time to time in the St. Louis papers, we entertained some ???? suspicions as to the real character of the Mormon persecution. The letter alluded to confirms our worst suspicions. It appears that the Mormons have been plundered, murdered, and expelled from the State of Missouri, not on account of their religious sentiments, or because they were bad citizens, but because they were more sober, more industrious, more ????, and more thriving than their neighbors, and ?particularly? because they had the misfortune to be Yankees,—and Northern men!
