Reflections.
We learn from a gentleman who was
in Hancock county las, week. and who
spent the last Sabbath in NauvOo, that a
compromise has been effected, and that all
was quiet when he left, A large meeting
had been held in Carthage, composed Of
numerous Delegates from the surrounding
counties. Various statements were made
setting forth the depreda,ons committed
BY the Mormons-,he insecurity Of the
settlers and loss Of their stock, honey &c.
-
and the incompatibli,y Of the Mormons
remaining longer among them. Strong
resolutions were passed, and it was fiual.
ly concluded to give the Mormons time
until mex, spring to make their arrange
men,s 10 move.
In the meantime, Gen. HARDIN arrived
at Carthage with about 800 men. He
disbanded the posse under Backenstos and
subsequently, marched into Nauvoo with
his small force. lie had conference
wild, the Twelve and they agreed to leave
Hancock county for Vancouver's Island,
or some other distant place, by the 10Th
of May Dexti a1l,.1f 4a$
Gen. HARDIN returned TO Carthage and
on Friday las, disbanded all The infantry
under his command. He retained the
mounted men, about 100 in number, and
intends making Carthage his Head Quar-.
tiers for the present, and may continue
there all uinter, to prolec. the settlers
from all danger.
Our informant. Lieu,. Noble of the U.
s. Dragons, thinks the Mormons will
adhere TO their pledge and remove in the
Spring. He attended the meeting in the
Temple on Sunday last. BY coun, it was
stated that there were four thousand peo-
pie within the walls at the time. During
the services one of the Twelve set forth
their grievances-told the people il was
necessary FOR them to move and put the
question to them to see if they were all
willing TO go. They responded in the af.
frmative, with deafening voice. They
were told that the Temple and The Nuu-
600 House Were TO be rented, bu. that all
their other property could be sold. If it
was no, all disposed Of by the time they
were ready TO GO. the Saints had friends
in the south and east to whom they would
give il, rather than lie, those by whom
they had been prosecuted come into pos.
session Of any Of it w,hou, full compen-
sation.
We now hope that the crisis is past.
and that there will be no more disturb.
ance in that part Of the country. |, is sad
to look at the results that have followed
in the train Of this deluded people where.
ever they have located. The loss Of life
and Of property on both sides is deplora.
rable. and ii seems exceedingly desirable
that they should remove. They call the
opposition they have me, with religious
persecution. We do no, look upon it as
such. If their belief had been founded
solely on the pure principles Of the Cos.
pei and they had assumed the character
simply Of religious sect. they would not
have been moles,ed. l. was not against
their religion, absurd as it is, that oppos-
ton has been srrayed. unless part and
parcel Of that religion is TO defraud, to
screen murderers and thieves and prey
upon those whom they are pleased to call
geniiles;- il was i'll consequence Of

acts may be the legitimate fruits Of the
religion Of the Latter Day Saints. The
Spar,ans brough. up their children TO

could steal the mos. without de,ec.ion.-
