We see many signs of weakness which we lament, and we would to God that our rulers would be men of righteousness, and that those who aspire to position would be guided by honorable feelings- to maintain inviolate the Constitution and operate in the interest, happiness, well being, and protection of the whole community. But we see signs of weakness and vacillation. We see policy being introduced to listen to the clamor of mobs and unprincipled men who know not of what they speak, nor whereof they affirm, and when men begin to tear away with impunity one plank after another from our Constitution, by and by we shall find that we are struggling with the wreck and ruin of the system which our forefathers of this nation sought to establish in the interest of humanity. (President John Taylor, 1881, JD-22:143)
