our action in the premises to be govern
ed by the law Of the last Legislature divi-
ding this State into Electoral Districts.
ReSoiued, That, although we would be
pleased to have the Convention meet in
this place, we nevertheless as Huntsville is
a more central point and the one more gen.
eraily agreed upon, are in favor of that
place as the one for holding the Convention,
and in favor of the 3rd Monday Of Novem-
Der as the tiIne;-and shall regard the ques.
ton settled accordingly unless a majority
of the counties composing the District elect
a different time and place at their meetings,
ReSolced, That the Chairman of this
meeting appoint six delegates to attend the
Convention for this District, and that they
have full power to supply any vacancy
which may occur in their body, before the
meeting of the Convention.
ReSoloed, That the Wings Of Boone
County, in the vivid recollection of his dis.
tinguished public services, have unbounded
confidence in the integrity. talents and pa
triotism of HENRY CLAY of Kentucky;
and, first Of all men now living, prefer him
for the Presidency of the United States
and entertaining these views, the Delegates
appointed by this meeting TO the District
Convention, are hereby instructed to vote
for Delegate to the National Convention
who is for Clay first for CIoy last, and for
Clay all the time.

unimpeachable moral and political integr-
ty. and the ardent zeal and devotion, which
John DaU'S, of Mass, John Seargent, of

N. York have always evinced in the sue
cess of the Wing cause entile each of
them to the confidence Of the whole Union;
and that the selection of either of hem by
the National Convention as the Wing can
didate for the Vice Presidency will be a

cess of our principles. 0a
! Resolved, That in a contest with we'll
disciplined foe, who from long experience
has learned the value of firm and harmOni-
Gus action, victory can never be achieved
in the absence of organization; and believ-
ing it the settled intention of the wings of
Missouri to make decided struggle for
HENRY CLAY in 1874, it is the deliberate
opinion of this meeting that the period has
arrived for our political friends to perfect
a thor ough and radical organization Of the
party-and to this end we recommend the
immediate formation of Clay Clubs in eve
ry county in the State.
Resolved, That we entertain no doubt
respecting the right of The people 10 as
semble and select their candidates for pub
lie Office; and whilst we recognize freedom
of thought and action as essential attributes
of true Rpeublicanism I'VE at the same time
believe il is incorrect in theory and suicidal
in practice for any Wing knowingly to en-
danger the success of the principles of his
party by coming out as an "independent
candidate" against the accredited nominee
of his own political friends.
ReSolced. That this meeting recommend

didatcs for the General Assembly, &c.
ReSOIved, That we regard the election
of members of Congress by single Dis
tricts in this State of vital importance
and policy in favor of which we stan,
committed upon priRciple; we therefore
recommend to the Wings of the Safe TO
to run candidates for Congress in 1874, bu
TO use every cxcrton to elect memhers Il
the General Assembly in favor of the Dis
trict System.
