A HARD HIT.-The N. Y. Globe gives the
following nut for the coons TO crack: " Mr.. Mer-
rick, IT, S. Senator from Maryland, voted in favor
of the annexation of Texas. and the whig papers
made tremendous outcry about it, especially the
Express, the Tribune, and the Courier. They al
most said that he had committed the objectionable
sn-they called him renegade, a marketable ar
ticle and humbug besides many pretty names that
we cannot now recpllect; and they said that the
wings of Maryland would rebuke him in such
terms at their next election as would make his
ears tingle and his cheeks burn with shame. Well,
that awful terrible election, big with the fate of
Merrick and Of them. has been held. and the dem

members of Congress and twenty members Of the

atory to removal.
That one thousand families, includ-
Ing the Twelve, the High Council, the
Trustees and general authorities Of the
church, are fully determined to remove
in the spring, independent Of the con-
tingency of selling our property; and
that this company will comprise from
five to six thousand souls.
That the church, as body, desire
to remove with US, and will, if sale
can be effected, so as to raise the ne
cessary means.
That the organization Of the church
we represent is such, that there never
can exist but one head or presidency,
at any one time, and all good men,
bers wish 10 be with The organization;
and all are determined to remove to
some distant point where we shall nei-
ther infringe nor be infrined upon, so
soon as time and means will permit.
That we have some hundreds of
farms and some two thousand or more
houses for sale in this city or county,
and we request all good citizens to as
sist in the disposal Of our property.
That we do not expect to find pur-
chasers for our Temple and other pub
lie buildings; but we are willing to rent
them to respectable community, who
may inhabit the city.
That we wish it distinctly under
stood. that although we may not find
purchasers for our property, we will
not sacrifice or give it away, or suffer
i illegally to lie wrested from US. |
That we do not intend to sow any

we shall not put in any more crops ot

THE PoRK MARKET.-Tbe Wayne County
Qnd) Record says: The pork market is opening
finely for the farmers. We learn that pork dealers
in this section of the country are offering from 80
TO S3 go per hundred We hear it reported, but
we are inclined to doubt the truth of it, that the
number of marketable hogs in the surrounding
counties. during the present year, will fall consid.
erably below that of last year. We think. how.
ever, that if the quantity should be less, the def
cheney will be made up in the increased weight
Corn is much more plenty this year than last, and
this will enable farmers TO keep their hogs until
they are in good condiuo for market.

To the first President anil High Coun-
CT Of the Church Of the Latter Day
SniniS:
Since our conference with you yes
terdav, we have arrived at this place,
and have held free conversation with
the anti .Mormons Of this and the sur
rounding counties.
We have reard to them your state
ment made to US on the lst. inst. We
nave Informed them that you lndlvidu-
alIy made similar statements to US,
with the most solen,n protestatlons OF
truth, and with every appearance "l
earnest determination TO carry out your
expressed intentions in goGi talth.
In the resolutions which were adopt
ed yesterday, in this place, by the del
egates from nine counties, (the citizens
of Hancock being excluded from the
mcknight was resolved (as we are
informed, not having seen a copy Of
the resolutions) TO accept your propo-
sition to remove in the spring.
Since we have made public the state
ment by YOU made to US, there seems
to be general acquiescencc in it by
citizens oi other counties and OF this,
so far as to agree to restrain and with
hold all further violence, and that you
be permitted to depart in peace next
spring. g456
We are convinced that affairs have
reached such crisis that it has become
impossible ior your church to remain
in this county.
