The Anti-Mormon party has accomplished
that which they have long sought-tho death
Of Joe Smith, leader Of the aeluded Mormons.
His murder with that Of his brother, took place
in the Jail of Carthage, on the evening of the
9th ut., by the hand Of an infurated mob.


Ho had surrendered himself into the hands
Of the officers, who had authority to arrest him,
on a charge of rotous conduct in destroying
printing press in the city of Navoo. Governor
Ford OF Illinois, had pledged himself, that the
prisoners person should be safe from the vio-
!ence of the mob, and he should have fair
and impartial trial by a jury Of his eountrymen.
Trusting to the Governor, and to the protection
of the law, which encircIes all in the arms of
its protection, he surrendered himself into the
hands Of The officers and in a few hours he was
murdered by a mob. The perpetrators Of this
cowardIy and lawless act of blood are so a
shamed Of it, that they endeavor to throw its
odium upon the Mormons, and assert that the
Smiths were killed in an attempt make by the
Mormoas, to rescue the prisoners. MAY the
whitening Curse OF all honest men, follow the
cowardly assassin, who wfId shed the blood
Of those. who surrendng the right of seIf-de-
fence rely upon the laws of their country for
protection, against the violence Of the mob.
