The Mayor, Aldermen And Councilors Of The City Of Nauvoo, Il, Before Entering Upon The Duties Of Their Office, Shall Take And Subscribe An Oath Or Affirmation That They Will Support The Constitution Of The United States, And Of This State And That They Will Well And Truly Perform The Duties Of Their Offices To The Best Of Their Skill And Abilities.

It Is Said That Brother Joseph In His Lifetime Declared That The Elders Of This Church Should Step Forth At A Particular Time When The Constitution Should Be In Danger, And Rescue It, And Save It.

I Believe This Is About The Language, As Nearly As I Can Recollect It.
