Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Zion´s Watchman, Vol. 1: Saturday, August 13, 1853 The provisional State Government, with all the machinery of executive, legislative, and judicial functionaries, was in regular and harmonious action, under the constitution recently adopted. The jurisdiction of the "State of Deseret" had been extended over, and was vigorously enforced upon, all who came within its borders, and justice was equitably alike to "Saint" and "Gentile" - as they term all who are not of their persuasion. Of the truth of this, as far at least as the Gentiles were concerned, I soon had convincing proof, by finding, one fine morning, some twenty of our mules safely secured in the public pound, for trespass upon the cornfield of some pious Saint; possession was recovered only by paying the fine imposed by the magistrate and amply remunerating the owner for damage done to his crops. These courts were constantly appealed to by companies of passing emigrants, who having fallen out by the way, could not agree upon the division of their property. The decisions were remarkable for fairness and impartiality; and if not submitted to, were sternly enforced by the whole power of the community. Appeals for protection from oppression, by those passing through their midst, were not made in vain; and I know of at least one instance in which the marshal of the State was despatched, with an adequate force, nearly two hundred miles into the western desert, in pursuit of some miscreants who had stolen off with nearly the whole outfit of a pary of emigrants. He pursued and brought them back to the city, and the plundered property was restored to its rightful owner. While however, there are all the exterior evidence of a government strictly temporal, it cannot be concealed that it is so intimately blended with the spiritual administration of the Church, that it would be impossible to separate the one from the other.
