POLITICAL.
Bond Paving Resolutions.

The following preamble and resolu~
tions, drawn up by Gen. Jno. A. Quit
man, and adopted by respectable bond
paying meeting OF the Locofoco demo
Gratis of Adams county, on the 29th Of
May last, contain the evidences of much
reflection and good sense. The posi-
tions taken as to the obligation resting
on the people of Mississippi for the pay
ment of the State Bonds cannot be an
swered:
From the Carro71ton Hornet.
WHEREAS, it is manifest that the pro-
ceedings Of the late Democratic Conven-
ton have not received the appreciation
Of majority Of the Democratic partyj
and Whereas, Notwithstanding the inn
piled understanding, in said convention,
to the contrary, the question of repudia-
ting the bonds of the State, given for
stock in the Planters and Union Banks,
has become a test question in the ap-
-
State oficcrs-Therefore,
Resolved, That while we approve OF
the leading objects and purposes of the
resolutions lately passed in Jefferson
county, at a bond-paying meeting, we
believe that it is not expedient or advisa
bic that a convention should be held OF
proposed at said meeting.
Resozved, That the doctrine which
teaches that the people will support the
government or their own choice, pay
the debts which their own agents, act
ing under their instructions, r4sy con
tract in their name, and maintain the
honor and plighted faith of the republic
invioato, is a democratic doctrine, enc
Thomas Jefferson is its author, whc
boldly maintained The identical doctrine
in the infancy OF democracy, against tht
sneers Of the British and their opposi
ton of Hamilton and the Federal Junto
whose main argument in favor of higl
tariffs, big banks, monopolies, exclusiv
privileges, and such like devices fer tax
ing labor indirectly, was founded On III
assumption, that the people, in the ag
gregate, had not sufficient virtue an
magnanimi:y to pay their honest debt
and supper; the government, as JefFer
SIN conended they had. !,
Reso1ued, That these who would TAX
advantage of the misfortunes Of the pee
pleof Mississippi, tC preach to them til
seductive doctrine Of repudiation, er
counging them to go to the polls to ge
rid Of their State debts, may call such
procedure democracy ifthey please; bo
Ttis su tidal democracy, because it strike
deadly blow at the vitals of the bod
polite, dcsecrates the institution of tn
ballot-bo1 to the worst of all purpose:
and wouldpltimateIy pull down upon tn
communityaa intolerabIe anarchy, th
arch enemyNof democracy-which ha
swallowed up 50 many republics.
