Now. / ask, is there q candid man in the
county prepared 10 say that the votes taken
at Bowling Green on the 9Th. of January,
was a fair and full expression Of the will OF
a majority Of the Democrats of the County,
touching their preference for a Congressman
1t is a well established principle in the Demo-
cratic creed, that major:ties are to rule and
govern. and not minorities. 1t requires a
majority of both branches Of a State Legis,
la'ure of any of the States Of the Union,
to instruct their Senators in Congress, upon
any question of expediency. 1t requires in
cases of public policy majority of those
represented by public agents, to instruct
those agents as 10 the public will. If it be
the wish Of the people of Missouri TO be
represented in Congress by men of talents
and u%nhcnding political integrity, let them
send delegates to the state Convention I'M
trammled by instruction to vote for any par
ticu'ar individual from any particular county
in the State. This is the course which most
of the most populous Counties in the State
have adopted. 1t should be a first principle
with the people, and their delegates to the
State Conversion. 10 set their faces against
all aspiranis to a seat in Congress, who may
e justly chargeable with tn at odious svmtem
of bargain and arrangement" to obtain of
flee, which is too often resorted 10 by the
political intrigue whose ruling passion, is
selfdgrandizement. In this way, and in this
1rny rniy. will the people be enabled to Sc
cure the best men as their public agents, and
to secure the perpetuation Of the pure prin,
ciples of Democracy, for which our ances-
tors Of the war Of the revolution fought and
bled. A. DEMOCRAT.

Congressional.

In the Senate Mr.. King presented the JOINT
resolution of the Legislature and Senate Of Ala
bama, refusing to accept their portion OF the
proceeds of the public lands. In reply to these
resolutions, Mr.. Clay said he was sorry that the
States had taken this stand. 1t would become
necessary to make some provision by Law, and
he therefore submitted a resolution that 1.-THE
committee on public lands be instructed to IN
ouire into the cxpediency of providing by law,
that wherever any State or States shall refuse
Their proportion of the proceeds of the public
lands, such proportion shall be distributed among
the residue of the asserting States" In the
lower House Jno. Q. Adams with his usual dis
regard for every thing like propriety, pre-
scented a petition for the disolution of the Union
This outrageous proceeding was met atthe thresh-
bold, by resolutions offered by Messrs. Gil
mer and Marshall g for the maintenance of their
own dignity, and turning him over to his own
conscience and the indignation Of all true
Americans" At these resolutions they were
engaged at the last dates.

to dissolve the Union of the States
First: Because no union can be agreeable OF
permanent which does not present prospects Of
reciprocal benefits.
Second: Because a vast proportion of the re-

drained to sustain the views and course of anotl-
