THE MORMON COMPROMISE.—The St. Louis Republi-can of the 8th inst. contains the correspondence between Council of the Mormon Church, which discloses the terms on which the parties have agreed to suspend hostilities. The following official letter from the Mor-mons will enable our readers to get a clear understand-ing 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, requesting us "to submit the facts and intentions stated by us to writing, in order that you may lay them before 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 en-closed.
In addition to this, we would say that we had com-menced making arrangements to remove from this country previous to the recent disturbances; that we now have four companies organized, of one hundred families each, and six more companies now organizing, of the same number each, preparatory to a removal.
That one thousand families, including the Twelve, the High Council, the Trustees and general authorities of the church, are fully deternined 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 presi-dency, at any one time, and all good members wish to be with the organization; and all are determined to move to some distant point where we shall neither in-fringe or be infringed upon, as soon as time and means will permit.
That we have some hundreds of farms and some two thousand or more houses for sale in the city and coun-ty, and we request all good citizens to assist in the dis-posal 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 our 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 commit-tees for this city, La Harpe, Macedonia, Bear Creek, and all necessary places in the county to give informa-tion to purchasers.
That if all these testimonies are not sufficient to sat-isfy 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, declare themselves satisfied with the terms, and there appears to be a general acquiescence in the arrangement on the part of the citizens, so far at least as to secure a sus-pension of hostilities until Spring, when the whole dif-ficulty 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 coun-ties exhorting them to peace and forbearance, that the Mormons may have no occasion for violating their agree-ment 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 remain in the field until the Governor shall order them to be disbanded.
