solved TO trust to the law Tor remedy OF such

From the st Louis Reporter, July ~
The MoKMoss Mlt appears that IN me ~, Mormons
Gil Of Nauvoo passed the following resolutions on
Monday last:
noting welfare Of tie county oi Hancock. and
rounding country that We viii rgdly sustain the laws
and the Governor ohe State long as they and he sus
tain us in all our constitutional rights
Resoped secondly That to carry the foregoing rsoln
on into complete hct that inasmuch as the Governor
has taken from us the public arms that we solicit oil Kim
to do the same with all the Ist ef the public aims 81 the
State.
Resord thirdly To further secure the peace friend
ship and happiness Of the people and ssy the excitement
that exists will reprobote private revenge on the
Smith, by any the Latter Day ssints That instead Of
IAN appeal arms" we appeal the majesty OF the law
and will be content with whatever Judgment IL shall a.
ward and should the law fail, leave the matter with
God.
Nothing is now 10 be apprehended unless the
| mob should commence the work OF assassination
agais, in which event we do not doubt that Gov.
Ford will promptly discharge his duty. He enjoys
the confidence OF all parties.
Capt Anderson, OF the Osprey, arrived yesterday,
states that he stopped his boat at Warsaw, Whilst
Mr.. Jonas, the Stale Commissioner, addressed The
citizens OF that place. He appealed TO ihem TO aid
the Governor IN his efiots 10 preserve the public
peace, but no approving res,ons was made. "On
he contrary, one &c nile man ste pped from he crowd
and stated that a committee OF citizens were IN
| communication with the Governor n The subject,
| and that their determination was that 6fhr the
y ormons must be compelled to quit the country or
they wOuld I"
the turbulent spirits at Warsaw. Their conduct,
correctly repre- sented, is disgrace 10 their town
| and 10 The State.
The Nauvoo Neighbor states that when Gov.
Ford heard Of the assassination Of ice Smith, he
was thunder struck and tied. The Mormons still
profess to be peaceaby disposed. The Warsaw
people are still threatening, and the auhonles ale
rying to keep the peace but some uncertainty still
exists as to wnar the course OF events will be.
Elder Adams came down today from Nauvoo,
l on board the Osprey We leara that his OBJECT is
10 visit several Of the Elders Of The Mormon
Church who residing III the eastern States, tor
tlon OF the church. He viii call, we presn,ee,
upon SIDNEY Rigdon first, who Is now IN he wet
nlty OF Pittsburgh, and then proceed 10 New York
| aud Massachusetls, where the largest portion OF
| the twelve ale 81 ID to be located.
The Nauyoo Neighbor of the I'd inst. expresses,
| as might have been expected, the greatest indgna-
| non at the murders II Joseph and Hiram smllh.
i The following Is an extract: Thus perIshes the
nope OF law; thus vanishes the pIghed faith Of The
State; thus The blood Of innocence stains the con-
stiluted authorities OF tn United States, and thus
have two among the most noble martyrs since The
slaughter OF Abel, sealed the ruth OF their divine
mission, by being shot by mob tor their religion !.
