[Hosea Stout]
At one p. m. there was a mass meeting at the Tabernacle to memorialize Government &c and the citizens to express their views as to the course pursued by prest B. Young[.] Three memorials one to Prest Buckhannan one to Congress and one to the Govt & people of the U. S. all couched in the plainest and most determined language declaring that they not only approve of Gov Youngs course but that they will not submit to their hellish outrages and tyrannacle oppression any longer.

The Tabernacle was crouded and every vote was unanimous.
