Such was the case when we suffered expatriation from the State of Missouri. We were robbed v and pillaged, despoiled and persecuted, yet we had no idea of retaliating on account of these wrongs upon the Government and its institutions, which to us are sacred. The same loyal spirit animated us when we were beset by blood-thirsty mobs in Illinois, one oi 'vhich murdered Joseph Smith, our prophet, and Hyrum Smith, the patriarch, while they were under the pledged protection of the State, given thro...ugh the governor. On the same occasion one of the signers of this address was also brought to the gate of death, by being shot by the same band of assassins. When driven from the homes we had established in Illinois, we had no disposition to hold the nation at large nor the Government of our beloved country responsible for those inhuman deeds, nor to allow the spirit of vengeance to rankle in our hearts. We took the first oppor- tunity to exhibit the spirit of true patriotism. While undergoing great hardship on account of being subjected to a compulsory exodus, when called upon by the Govern- ment to furnish a body of men to take part in the war with Mexico, five hundred of the flower of our camp responded with alacrity, and, in accordance with the call of our country, traversed the great American desert, penetrated to Mexico, and completed an arduous and hazardous campaign and journey to California.
