We observe that meeting Of citizens of Quincy was
called for Monday evening last take into consders
ton the disturbances in Hancock county The Courier
recommends that the tone OF the meeting should be
amicable and concatoy and thinks there are fe w eit
disposed to rush into ordnary measures Oh
Qainoy may bring about adjustment OF the present
difficulties but we have no idea that any permanent
rangement can be made, by which the people composing
the respective parties get along together One or
the other must leave the county and the people might
we'll address themselves to this question at once
is understood here that Gov. Ford, of Illinois

them ght il ont This NAV be very prudent conduc, on
the part of Gov Ford; but it is unworthy of
tive officer and disgraceful to the State 1t is
an abandonment Of his sworn duty for which, it
affects seriously republican institutions he should
be held to a strict accountability.
From the st. Louis Republican, Sept IS
Governor Ford seems TO have abandoned his first in
I, ntion 10 let the Momons and anti Mormons fight
out Indifferent which whippei and has issued two
proclamatons, which published in the GaSene OF
last evening. Exaggerated statements, received at
Springfield, probably produced this change of purpose,
and induced him to make call for five hundred men
from the citizens Of Sangamon Aenard, Cass. Scott,
Pike, Morgan and Greene counties. He also calls upon
Gen Hardin, Coils Baker, Weatherford, Merriman and
Boyce to aid in raising this force He says, in
these papers, that this time, there mistake but
that instruction does exist, he appoints Beardtown
the place of rendezvous and this day the time for
the gallant militia to make their appearance.
In the second proclamation, issued last Sunday hav
ing received information OF battle in which eighteen
anti-Mormons and three Mormons killed, and
number Of anti-Momons taken prisoners, he calls
upon all the young men of Sangamon county to
to Springfield ut three O'Clock Of the afternoon of Tues
day next last ready for service. The state of things
existing Hancock Che says must not continue; the
law must be magnied and restored to its supremacy
otherwise our government is at an end" We don't
know how many volunteers answered this call, but
guess not many There is truth at all events, in the
battle which is made the foundation Of this proclama-
ton. Our intelligence from Warsaw is later than the
date of the document itself and such affair was
known to have occurred at that time. The prairie
skrimmage" and between Backenstos and por-
ton Of the anti-Mormons doubtless gave rise to the
story.
