Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1843-10-07

One question more refnalneu 10 NC uis- u
posed Of, but il was knotty one, and how
to get rid of Il was matter of some diff h
Guilty. All seemed TO agree that the four q
delegates should vote one way. but both the
Johnson and Van Buren, men seemed
little afraid to measure arms in trial of
strength upon the point in issue. Finally
it was concluded to put off the "evil day"
a while longer, and, we believe, il was uti.
mately determined that upon the first Mon
day in December all the branches of the |.
great democratic family would meet TO-
gether and settle the question, and then the
democracy adjourned!
After all this we had speech from the
late distinguished representative from Car
roll, Mr.. Compton. He had wanted to
spread his "high bird of liberty" while the
meeting was in session, but had it voted
upon him that he must not discuss the
merits of any Of the candidates for the
presidency This cut off the burden of
Coz. Compton's say, and he preferred wait
ing and setting up on his own hook after
the sine die had been pronounced. The
Gov. was up to the hub for old Dick John
son, and declared that he, himself, was
within an inch and quarter of the Battle
of the Thames! In addition to which in
teresting intelligence, he gave i, out, regu.
larly and officially, that he was now about
to engage in the responsible duty of dis
tributing the laws and journals in the fifth
district, and further that deponent said not.
P. s. Since the above was in type, the
"Pilot," containing the official proceedings
of the meeting has been received. We
subioin the resolution in reference to Penn
and the Reporter:

Having discharged his duty as Secretary,
Mr.. QuEsENBERRy says:
1--WE will now take our position as Editor,
D and we feel ourself bound according 10 our
notion OF the duties OF an editor, to say what we
think about some Of the foregoing resolutions.
We cannot sanction that portion OF them which
