accept the proposition of the Mormons to remove the

to remove as submitted to If it is carried out with
good faith.


At the solicitation Of men Of all parties and from
conviction of the necessity of the measure Gen Hardin
has determined to station portion of his troops in this
county, to maintain order who will continue in the field
until the Governor shall order them to be dsbanded

We beseech you, therefore, to be quiet and orderly
and at the same time you not to violate the law

cannot be deried that the burning of the houses Of the
Mormons in Hancock county, by which large number
of and children have been and

should also be known that it has led many persons to be-
lieve that if the Mormons bad as they are
represented, they than those who have
burnt their houses.


Whether your just unjust the acts of these
incendiaries have thus lost for you something the
sympathy and good will of your fellow citizens and
resort to persistence in such course under existing
circumstances will make forfeit all Of the respect
aud sympathy of the community.


We trust and believe for this lovely portion of our
State, brighter day is dawnng and we beseech all
the incendiary nor to disturb its dawn by the clash
