were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. it is proper that the political
questions involved in the approaching cleo
tons should be discussed before the People,
in an open, manly, and temperate manner,
and since il is the desire of the wings of
the county that discussion should take
place, and be conducted in good temper
and with candor, SO that the Judgment of
the people may thereby be ightened,
therefore, resolved as follows:
LIST. The wings of this county will meet
the Democratic party in open discussion
before the people on the various political
questions involved in the approaching
elections.
Cd. Seven persons shall be appointed at
this meeting in our behalf. to unite with
such persons as may be appointed on the
part of our democratic countymen, and
constitute joint committee TO arrange the
times, places and manner of such discussion.
Sd. If The mode now suggested of ar
ranging and conducting the public discus
sions be unacceptable TO our democratic
neighbors. that they be respectfully re-
quested to suggest such other mode as they
themselves shall prefer.

gentlemen to constitute the committee au-

F. Walker, Joel Prewitt, r. Hughes, A.

COL PITTS, on behalf of committee ap-
pointed by the Glargow Clay Club, report
ed the wings of Charlton Township orga-
nized and ready for action; and although
in the minority in that township, he said
the wings there might be relied on as
"some, in bear fight"
Clark II. Green. offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That our thanks are due, and
are hereby rendered to the gallant wings of
Mary land, for the great, good, and glorious
victory achieved by them at their late Con-
gressional election; and that the triumphant
and complete success which crowned their
efforts, stimuli ates US, even here, to redouble
our exertions for the advancement Of the
good cause--and we hereby pledge our
selves to them, and our wing brethren of
the Union, to be unceasing in our exertions
and untireing in our efforts, TO be always
ready and always striving, and never 10
cease, until "modern democracy" shall yield
its last foot hold in Missouri.
Resolved, That we look upon the late
letter of Martin Van Buren, TO his Pennsyl-
vana friends, wherein he states that at the
last Presidential Election. "he popular
uOice rQS not under the guidance Of Reason
and Virtue" is a direct and gross insult to
the l,274,2O3 freemen Of these United
States, who cast their votes for the lament
ed Harrison.
Resolved, That we are in favor Of the
proposed mass convention for this Electo-
raj District, to be held in Paris, Monroe
county, on the last Friday in June next;
the Wing Young Mems Convention for the
State, proposed to be held in St. Louis on
the first Monday in June next; and the Mass

Delegates to each of said Conventions.
