<22> Thursday 22. I was about home; Read correspondence between & Gen . & Read German with Elder . Bro [Daniel] Shearer inquired the meaning of the “little leaven <which a woman> hid in 3 Measures of Meal.” I replied, it alluded expressly to the last days when there should be <but> little faith on the earth and it should leaven the whole world; also, there shall be safety in Zion & Jerusalem, & in the Remnants whom the Lord our god shall call. The 3 measures refer directly to the Priesthood; truth springing up on a fixed principle, to the 3 in the grand presidency, confining the oracles to a certain head on the principle of 3.

From there we went to Bro Sabins to get <complet expense> money for our journey to having just borrowed $100 for that purpose. while there [p. 19] <24> Sister Sabin <> asked if I wanted a wicked man to pray for me? I replied yes, if the fervent effectiate prayer of the rightous availeth much, a wicked man may avail a little when praying for a rightous man. There is more good but one. The better a man is the more his prayer will prevail, like the publican & the Pharisee; one was justified rather than the other showing that both were justified in a degree. The prayer of a wicked man may do a rightous man good, when it does the one who prays no good.

On my return home I found my wife sick. She was delivered of a son, which did not survive its birth.
The Herefordshire conference (Eng) under the presidency of El. Wm. Kay, met at Caldwell, numbering 844 members, including 20 El. 53 P. 22 T. & 10 Deacons.

At 9 A.M. started in custody of gen for , in co with , , , , , , <&> ; on our way to we met , , & , who had obtained an order for a writ of , But no writ could be, There from the master in as no writ could issue, on account of the absence of the clerk for the the clerk of court having been elected to the senate. There was considerable snow and the travelling heavy but we arrived at my my brother , in a little after sunset, & were soon joined by , , Dr Tate & . [p. 20]
<27> I supped with Bro s family, who lived under the same roof, slept with on a Buffalo skin spread upon the floor, and dreamed that I was by a beautiful steam of water and saw a noble fish which I thew out, soon after I saw a number more, & threw them out. I afterwards saw a multitude of fish, & threw out a great abundance, & sent for salt & salted them.
<28> Wednesday 28th. The morning was wet, we started about 8 oclock, taking and arrived a Mrs Stevenson’s tavern in at 3 P.M. about 20 miles. , who was sick went with us, accompanied by , who went with us from to take care of her. I spent a part of the evening with Mr , & family, <& a part of my company.> In conversation respecting the repeal of charters. I told them that to touch the Nauvoo charter was no better than highway Robbery, that since the creation there never had been a repeal of a perpetual charter by god, angels, or men; & that I never would submit to lowering our charter, but they might bring other charters up to it. On my return to the tavern the brethern took my height which was 6 feet, & my the same.
<29> Thursday 29. Started early, crossed the at 11, & arrived at before 5 P.M. about 32 miles, the weather extremely cold.— asked why the sun was called masculine & the moon feminine? I replied that the root of masculine is stronger, & of feminine weaker. The sun is a governing planet to certain planets, while the moon borrows her light from the sun & is less or weaker &c. Let the government of redress the wrongs she has done to the saints, or let the curse follow them from generation to generation until they do. When I was going up to . in co with & our families, on an extreme cold day, To go forward was 14 mis to a house, and backward nearly as far. We applied to all the taverns for admission in vain, we were Mormon & could not be received. Such was the extreme cold that in 1 hour we must have perished. We plead for our women & children in vain. We counseled together and the brethern agreed to stand by me, & we concluded we might as well die fighting, as freeze to death. I went into a tavern & plead our cause to get admission. The Landlord said he could not keep us for love or money. I told him [p. 21] we must & would stay let the consequence be what it might for we must stay or perish. The Landlord replied, “we have heard the mormons are very bad people, & the inhabitants of Paris have combined not to have any thing to do with them or you might stay.” I told <said to> him we would will stay, but no thanks to you him; I have men enough to take the town, & if we must freeze, we will freeze by the burning of these houses. The taverns were then opened & we were accommodated & received many apologies in the morning, from the inhabitants for their abusive treatment.
<30> Friday 30. Started at 8 this morning & arrived at in , 2½ P.M. where I saw Esqr. district attorney, who told me that had continued the court 2 or 3 days on account of my case, & would close on the morrow, and that he should try my case on its merits & not on any technicality. of was in the place, but would not say whether he had the original writ <The original writ which had previously been demanded of the officers of , & .> I gave a general history of my persecutions, and it was agreed by him that I should be brought up arrested on the writ. Had an interview with Bro , who was a member of the Legislature at the time, and spent the eving with & the brthrn from . <we all lodged at .> Christ and the resurrected saints will reign over the earth, during the 1000 years, but will not dwell on the Earth. They will visit it when they please, or when it is necessary to govern it. There will be wicked men on the earth during the 1000 years. The heathen nations who will not come up to worship will be destroyed.
Salt, vinegar & pepper, given internally, and plunging in the river when the peroxisms begin, will cure the cholera.
<31> Saturday 31. at 9 A.M. called & informed me that had the original writ, & I signed a petition to to issue a new writ, that my case might be tried theron as well as <on> the proclamation. My petition was granted, & at 11 oclock I was arrested theron, by a deputy, Mr Maxey, in presence of , my attorney, who immediately wrote a petition to for a writ of , which I signed, 1/2 past 11 oclock & at 11½ A.M. went before . when read my petition, & stated that the writ & warrant, were different from the requisition of the of He then read s warrant, ’s affidavit, requisition on the of , & the proclamation of , showing that had made a false statement, as nothing appeared in the affidavit to show that Smith was in He also stated that all the authority for transportation of persons from one state to another [p. 22] <31—> rests on the constitution and the law of Congress. We ask for because the papers are false, & because we can prove that Joseph Smith was in this state at the time of the commission of the crime. The writ was granted, returned, & served in one minute, & I walked up to the bar. read the Habeas Corpus, & moved the court to take bail till I could have a hearing, which was granted: and although it was only a case of misdemeaner Genr. & were bailed for me in the sum of $2000 each, & Monday was set for trial. The court room was crowded, and on our retiring as came to the top of the stairs, some one of the crowd observed “there goes Smith the prophet, & a good looking man he is” “and (said another) as damed dam’d a rascal as ever lived.” replied “and a good many Ditto.” “Yes (said the man) ditto, ditto, God dam you; and every one that takes his part is as dam’d a rascal as he is.” When at the foot of the stairs, said “I am the man, & I take his part.” Said the man “you are a dam’d rascal <to.>” “You are a lying scoundrel” replied & the man began to strip off his clothes, & ran out in the street cursing & swearing, & raising a tumult, when Mr [Lyman] Prentice, the marshall, interfered & with great exertions quelled the riotous proceedings, mob. Much credit is due Mr Prentice for his zeal to keep the peace. When the rowdies had dispersed I went with <& > to see who was sick. He told me he had a requisition from the of for a renewal of persecution in the old case of treason against but he happened to know that the it was all dead. We dined with at the “American House,” where the quartered, after which we returned to the s. room. In course of conversation he remarked “he was no religionist” I replied <told him> I had no creed to circumscribe my mind, therefor the people did not like me. “Well (said the ) from reports we had reason to think the mormons were a peculiar people, different from other people, having horns or something of the kind; but I find they look like other people, indeed I think Mr Smith is a very good looking man. At 2 P.M I returned to & appointed Elders & to preach in the Representatives Hall on the Sabbath morrow. stated that it was possible to revoke political charters, but not co charters. I argued that if a Legislature has power to grant a charter for 10 years it has no power to revoke it until after the expiration thereof. The same principle will hold good for 20 or 100 years, & also for a perpetual charter it cannot be revoked in time. [p. 23]
John Darby came in & said he was going to with [James] Brewster. I told him I would say to him as the prophet said to Hezikiah “go & prosper, but ye shall not return in peace.” Brewster may set out for but he will not get there unless somebody shall pick him up by the way, feed him, & help him along. Brewster showed me the manuscript he had been writing. I inquired of the Lord & the Lord told me it <the book> was not true, it was not of him. If God ever called me, or spake by my mouth, or gave me a revelation, he never gave revelations to that Brewster boy, or any of the Brewster race.
This afternoon, a team ran away, & went past the State house, when the hue & cry was raised “Jo Smith is running away”, which produced great excitement & a sudden adjournment of the House of Representatives.
