_Resolved,_ That the president of this meeting be requested to communicate with the Governor of Missouri, and respectfully request him to make another demand upon the authorities of this state for the body of Joseph Smith, commonly called the Mormon Prophet; and in the event of a requisition and an order for his arrest and delivery to the proper officers of the state of Missouri, we offer our services to enforce said order, and pledge ourselves to sustain the supremacy of the laws at all hazards and under all circumstances. _Resolved,_ That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded to the publisher of the _Warsaw Message, Quincy Whig,_ and _Quincy Herald,_ for publication, with a request to them to add a note, soliciting all editors friendly to our cause in this state, Missouri, and Iowa Territory, to copy. It was then moved and seconded, That this meeting adjourn, subject to the call of the central corresponding committee. Edson Whitney, Chairman. W. D. Abernethy, Secretary. Editors throughout Illinois, Missouri, Iowa Territory, friendly to the Anti-Mormon cause, are requested to publish the proceedings, in today's paper, of a meeting held at Carthage on the 6th instant. {9} _Thursday, 7.--_I took home the letter written to Harrisburg [6] for the Church History, a small fragment of which only has been preserved, and is as follows:-- _Historical Sketch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints._ Messrs. Editors,--The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded upon direct revelation, as the true Church of God has ever been, according to the Scriptures (Amos 3:7, and Acts 1:2); and through the will and blessings of God, I have been an instrument in his hands, thus far, to move forward the cause of Zion: therefore, in order to fulfill the solicitations of your letter of July last, I shall commence with my life. [Then follows a brief historical sketch of the Church from the birth of the Prophet to the settlement of the Saints at Nauvoo, much in the strain of the _"Wentworth Letter"_ already published in this HISTORY, (Vol. IV, Ch. XXXI); and for the reason that all the historical data in this I. Daniel Rupp sketch is contained in the _Wentworth Letter,_ it is thought unnecessary to reproduce it here, excepting the closing paragraphs which deal with conditions and prospects at Nauvoo, on the date at which we have arrived in our HISTORY, viz. September, 1843.--Editor.]
