CITY OF NAUVOO,

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1842.

It is asserted by several newspapers that Gov. Boggs of the State of Mo. is dead, and that he has been murdered by the hand of an assassin; some would insinuate that it has been done by a Mormon; to such we would say, BAH!!!! we shall not believe that he is dead until we have further testimony; we have seen too many of the intrigues of Mo., to "believe all things."

We suppose that some of the Anti-Mormons belonging to the "Great Mass," (alias small potatoe [potato]) "convention," could assist very well in proposing, if not of being the authors of, a story of that kind, for political effect in the coming contest.
