The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-10-10

make the following propositions;
We would say to the committee above mentioned,
and to the governor, and all the authorities and peg
pie of Illinois, and the surrounding States and Terri
tories, that propose to leave this country next
spring, for some point remote that there need
not be difficulty between the people and ourselves
provided certain propositions necessary for the ac-
compshment of our removal shall be observed, as
follows, TO wit:
That the citizens of this and the surrounding
counties, and all men, will use their influence and
exertions TO help US TO sell rent properties,
so as to get means enough, that we can help the
widow, the fatheress, and desitute to remove with
us.
That all men will let us alone with their vexa-
tious lawsuits, that we may have the time, (for
have broken law and help to cash, groceries,
good oxen, mich cows, beef cattle, sheep, wagons,
mules, harness, horses, &C., in exchange for our
at fair price, and deeds given on pay
ment, that we may have the means to accom-
plish removal without the suffering of the desti
tute to an extent beyond the endurance of human
nature.
That all exchanges of property be conducted by
a committee or committees of both parties, so that
all business may be transacted honoraby and speed
lily.
That we will use all lawful means, in connection
with others, to preserve the public peace while we
molested with house-burning or any other depreda-
tons, to waste our property and time, and hinder
our business
That it is mistaken idea that we shave proposed
to remove in six months" for that would be SO
early in the spring, that grass might not grow, nor
water run--both of which would be necessary for
our removal but we propose to use our in
fuence to have no more seed-time or harvest
among our people in this county, after gathering
our present crops. And that all communications
be made in writing.
BY order of the Council:

WILLARD RICHARD, Clerk.
The Quincy Courier of the 26,h SAYS that
messenger arrived on the day previous from the
governor, with orders for volunteer companies to
RENDEZVOUS at Warsaw, on the 29th.
The Nauvooites were preparing with all expedi-
ton for a siege. The Courier says
EARNED men from the surrounding country are
coDgregating in Hancock; and there can be little
doubt that battle will soon be fought, unless
State authority is interposed. The Mormons are
said to have driven off 30 or 40 head of cattle from
the neghborhood of Warsaw night before last; and
is said that Nauvoo looks more like cow-bin than
a human habitation. About 500 head were driven in
in one day."

MORMON Wharf.-The Boreas, arrived Yesterday,
reports that Gen. Hardin had arrived in Hancock
county with number of men, and that portion of
the militia from Pike county had also arrived that
Gen Hardin had been ordered to march into Maui
VOC, if he thought proper to do SO, with view to
restore peace. Backenstos, the sheriff of Hancock
county, doubted or denied the authenticity Of the
proclamation issued by Gov. Ford, and had warned
all armed men to keep out of the county; but this
error was probably discovered in to prevent
any difficulty in relation to the approach of the
troops ordered out by the governor.
Report also says, about fifty picked men had been
aeuf mt hryf he M IN
Mormons who were said to be collecting cattle
near Warsaw, and it was supposed fight would
came off on Saturday last between the parties. but
this report is questionable The aspect of affairs is
not quite SO bad as twas few days ago; and, if
the proposition of the Mormons to leave the coun-
try has been finally rejected, it is probable they will
be permitted to remain, without much more diff
Guilty or danger.
From the st. Louis Republican Oct a.
We do not know where our letters from Spring.
field find a resting-place; but certain il is that the
one now published, dated on the Oath, is postmark-
ell the Goth. As it speaks something of the tone Of
public feeling IN that quarter, we publish il:
"SrRMeFIELp, (Ill., y Sept. "a, ls45.
Gas anticipated on Monday, when wrote you,
the call of the governor for troops, to proceed TO
Hancock, has not been responded to. Yesterday, at
three o'clock, (the hour appointed by the governor
III MS proclaWaLlon,) ABOUT ten or ttpetre persons
from the surrounding country appeared at the State
house, ready to proceed as the governor should d.
rect. Seeing that nothing could be done, the gov
ernor told them that 1t was the opinion of wel-n-
formed citizens that thirty men could not be raised
in the county to go TO Hancock; and as il would be
useless to proceed with the small humber then pres
ent, they might 60 home. Thus ended the proceed
ings the day.
"There is much interest felt here in the proceed
ings in Hancock county; but there seems to be a
fixed determination the part of the people to take
no part in them. They believe both parties to be
in the wrong, and are willing to let them settle it
among themselves, Kilkenny-cat fashion.
"One thing, have no doubt operated, to a great
extent, in preventing the people OF this county from
responding to the call Of the governor: that is, the
persons whom the governor had named to command
the expedition, well the governor himself and
other state officers had all expressed themselves in
favor of the Mormons, and that they would assist
them against the old citizens of Hancock, should
they get there in time The people will not engage
in an expedition where such course is advanced
by those whom they expect to command them
"We have no news from the seat of war; only
what we get in the Republican, and it is looked
for here with as much anxiety as the election re-
turns from New York were last fall
