Nauvoo, Feb. 15, 1843. The following beautiful verses were written and sung as will be seen from there reading on the occasion of Joseph Smith's release from the hands of his persecutors. Mr. Smith and his Lady made a feast and invited upwards of fifty of their friends to partake with them; which was indeed a day of conviviality and rejoicing, and might properly be called a day of jubilee or release.
