THE MORMON COMPROMISE.—The St. Louis Repub-lican of the 8th inst. contains the correspondence between the Anti-Mormon Committee and the Presi-dent and Council of the Mormon Church, which dis-closes the terms on which the parties hnve agreed to suspend hostilities. The following official letter from the Mormons will enable our readers to get a clear understanding of the matter :
NAUVOO, Oct 1, 1845.
To Gen. John J. Hardin, W. B. Warren, S. A. Douglass, and J. A. McDougal.
MESSRS:—In reply to your letter of this date, re-questing us "to submit the facts and intentions stated by us to writing, in order that you may lay them be-fore the Governor and people of the State," we would refer you to our communication of the 24th ult. to the "Quincy Committee," &c., a copy of which is herewith enclosed.
In addition to this, we would say that we had commenced making arrangements to remove from this country previous to the recent disturbances ; that we now have four companies organized, of one hun-dred families each, and six more companies now or-ganizing of the same number each, preparatory to a removal.
That one thousand families, including the Twelve, the High Council, the Trustees and general authori-ties of the church, are fully determined to remove in the spring, independent of the contingency of selling our property ; and this company will comprise from five to six thousand souls.
That the church, as a body, desire to remove with us, and will, if sales can be effected, so as to raise the necessary means.
That the organization of the church we represent, is such, that there can never exist but one head or presidency, at any one time, and all good members wish to be with the organization; and all are deter mined to remove to some distant point where we shall neither infringe or be infringed 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 and county, and we request all good citizens to assist in the disposal of our property. That we do not expect to find purchasers for our Temple and other public buildings; but we are wil-ling to rent them to a respectable community who may inhabit the city.
That we wish it distinctly understood that although we may not find purchasers for out property, we will not sacrifice or give it away, or suffer it illegally to be wrested from us.
That we do not intend to sow any wheat this fall, and should we all sell, we shall not put in any more crops of any description. That as soon as practicable we will appoint com-mittees for this city, La Harpe, Macedonia, Bear Creek, and all necessary places in the county to give information to purchasers.
That if all these testimonies are not sufficient to satisfy any people that we are in earnest, we will soon give them a sign that cannot be mistaken,—we will leave them !
In behalf of the Council.
Respectfully yours, &c.,
BRIGHAM YOUNG, Pres't.
WILLARD RICHARD, Clerk.
The Anti-Mormon Committee in their reply, de-clare themselves satisfied with the terms, and there appears to be a general acquiescence in the arrange-ment on the part of the citizens, so far at least as to secure a suspension of hostilities until Spring, when the whole difficulty may be ended by the removal of the Mormons according to agreement.
The committee have issued an address to the Anti-Mormon citizens of Hancock and the surrounding counties exhorting them to peace and forbearance, that the Mormons may have no occasion for violating their agreement. They say :
At the solicitation of men of all parties, and from a conviction of the necessity of the measure, Gen. Hardin has determined to station a portion of his troops in this county, to maintain order, who will re-main in the field until the Governor shall order them to be disbanded.
