The meeting assembled pursuant to adourn.
mcnt,
When Gen. Qutmou in behalf Of the com.
mltoo, submitted the following preamble and
resolutions, which, on motion were received:
WHEREAS, II Is manifest that the proceed.
lngs OF The late Democratic Convention have
not received the appreciation Of a majority Of.
the Democratic partY-and Whereas, not
wlthstanding the implied understanding, in
sad convention, TO the contrary the question ,
of repudiatng the bonds of the State, given
for stock in the Planters and Union Banks, has !
become test question in the approaching :
canvass for the election of State officers =
Therefore, II
ReSolced, That while we approve of the I
leading objects and purposes of the resolutions
lately passed in Jefferson county, at bond
paying meeting, we believe that it is not ex-
pedient or advisable that a convention should
be held or proposed at said meeting. Il
ReSoloed, That the doctrine which teaches {
that the people will support the government a
of their own choice, pay the debts which their h
own agents, acting under their instructions,
may contract in their name, and main b
tain the honor and plighted faith of the re- \
public lnviolate, is democratic doctrine, and il
Thomas Jefferson is its author, who boldly
the identical doctrine, in the in S
fancy of democracy, against the sneers of the G
British and their opposition of Hamilton and y
the Federal Junto, whose main argument in c
favor of high tariffs, big banks, monopoles, Il
exclusive privileges, and such like devices for /
taxing labor, indirectly, was founded on the p
that the people, in the aggregate, W
had not sufficient virtue and magnanimity to W
pay their honest debts and support the gov al
as Jefferson contended they had Ct
Resolved That those who would take ad- m
vantage of the misiortunes of the people of fc
Mississippi, to preach to them the seductive ia
doctrine of reputation, encouraging them to it
70 to the polls to get rid of their State debts,
nav call such aprocedure OF democracy,if if they lin
please; but it is suicidal democracy, because m
t strikes deadly blow at the vitalS of the dl
BODY polite, deSecrates the institution of the pl
ballot box to the worst of all purposes, and ri
would ultimately pull down upon the commu- In;
lity an intolerabIe anarchy, the arch enemy pt
If democracy-wh has swallowed up so he
many republics. tn
ReSolUed, Thatthe ballot-box is democratic
Institution, and was never intended to super Il
;ede the strong box, or be used in the IL Iev
uidation of debts, nor was it intended to SUI bt
'ercede judicial investigation in questions of OF
natter of facts relating to dollars and cents tn
sounds, shillings and pence, otherwise courts tn
would be useless, the electioneering would be- in
ONE the all-absorbing business, and swallow m
p law, liberty and every thing else.
Resolved, That borrowed money ought to is

be Stale to borrow it had been deemed uncon- de
iitutional by the people of Mississippi, they lol
yould have repudiated the said acts of their wi
Governor and Legislature, and not touched da
