“There is high treason in Washington; and if the law was carried out, it would hang up many of them. And the very act of James K. Polk in taking five hundred of our men, while we were making our way out of the country under an agreement forced upon us, would have hung him between the heavens and the earth, if the laws had been faithfully executed.”Brigham Young, September 13, 1857 · Movements of the Saints' Enemies—The Crisis · JD 5:231-236
