The trial of the persons indicted for the murder
of the Smiths last summer comes on al Carthage IN
this County IN four weeks from Monday next 1t
will BE- a time of tremendous excitement. Some
six or seven of the most respectable citizens OF the
County are Indicted for The murder OF the Smiths.
snd among The number are Hon jacob {. Davis.
Safe Senator: Thomas c. Sharpe, Esq Editor OF
| ths Warsaw Signal; w. y Grover. ESQ. Coun-
sellor at Law. and Col Williams. All these gen
llemen have strong friends who are determined they
shall have fair piay-several military companies
from the AntI-Mormon portions OF tins County ana
from, the adjoining Counties will recounoltre at the
County Seat in Court week. The Nauvoo Le-
gion y will probably be on hand also. II the ay,
pearauce OF the Mormon Legion would not put old
JACK Falstaiis ragged regiment TO The blush, am
mistaken.


One OF Mr Polk'snomisees, a Jack. Mormon, by
the name Of BackenstuS, who resides al Carthage,
is in trouble The Mormons sent himto the Legis-
! Ia,ure last winter where he made himself busy IN
abusing the old citizens Of the County, and when
he returned from Springfield week or two ago.
the citizens Si Carthage went en- mdSse 10 MS house
and gave him notice 20 leave the town IN a certain
time Before the time expired, he received notice
of his appointment by the President TO some lucfa-
tive Office in the Lead Mines. and by begging hard,
the citizens on account o his amiiy, concluded TO
let him stAv week or two longer 10 settle up his
business They did not extend this act OF grace t0
MIN. however withoutpeltlus his house with rocks


What will be the end OF all these troubles no man
can fore,el: but am app-ehenSive that there viii
be- terrible collision one of these days The Nor


mons and Ants can never live IN peace any more
the hatred existing between them is deep, deadly
and nveterate One party must leave; and if the
old citizens of the county driven from their
homes and their iresides by Mormon persecution,
feeling of ind isnatou will be aroused among the
people Of illinois that will not be quelled, until the
last vestge of Mormonism Is driven from lillnois,
as il was from Missouri. Yours, &c.
