INSTRUCTIONS OF MISSOURI.
ATcHIsoN AND BENTON.

On the Doth instant Col. Benton presented to the
United States Senate the resolutions of the Missouri
Legislature on the Texas question, and made few
remarks thereon, indicating disposition on his part
TO trample upon the sovereign will of this State, al
though he pu-posely avoided committing himself d.
recty on any point He harps the compromise
resolution, If the primary obj, ct of the Leglsla-
ure was to instruct him to compromise away the sentl-
ments and wishes of his constituents instead Of maxi
ing every possible exertion to carry the measure in
accordance with their expressed opinions.
He again pirates Of " the peace and harmony Of the
Union" as il any Of the friends Of annexation were
DESTROYS of sacrificing item. The second resolution
Of the Legislature he commends, inasmuch as IT
merely declares the Texan revolution 10 have been
honorable to the young Republic and the first is en-
dorsed by him, in which remuneration is pronounced
a "great national measure demanded by large ma
iority Of the people Of this State at the earliest
practicable period" He makes comment on the
third fourth and fifth Of the series-tbe resolutions
which instruct him TO abandon his BILL and 90 for inn
mediate annexation. His side blows at the advocates
of immediate annexation, whilst dwelling on the
cessity of compromises the nationality not sectional
and partisan" character of the measure, the impor
lance of our trade with Mexico and his entire silence
about asking the previous consent of the Mexican
Government dividing the territory with the abo
tionists insisting upon the Nueces desert as boun-
dairy &c. are ominous Of his determined opposition
to the will of Missouri
He seems to think that the Legislature of this State
instructed him to do just what he pleased this sub
ect that the compromise resolution relates to the
whole series that he is to abandon the Missouri
view Of the subject at his optionin word, that his
course has been fully endorsed We have read ovei
his remarks carefully, and arrive at other

his opposition to this great American measure a
once and before the golden moment" is passed for

COUNTING THE VOTES FOR PRESI-
DENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

The following joint resolution was passed
Yesterday by the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives:
Resolred That the two Houses will assemble in
the chamber OF the House of Representatives on
Wednesday, the 10Th day of February lS45 at IL
% clock that person be appointed teller on the
part of the Senate, and two persons be appointed tel
iers on the part Of the House, to make list of The
votes for President and Vice President of the United
States as they shall be declared; that the result be
delivered the President Of the Senate, who will an
nounce TO the two Houses assembled aforesaid The
OF the vote, and the person persons elected,
it shall appear that a choice hath been made agreea
bly, 10 the Constitution of the United States which
uncalion shall be deemed sufficient declaration
Of the person persons elected and that the said
proceedings together with list of the votes, be en-
tered on the journals Of the two Houses.
Mr.. Walker was appointed the teller on the
part Of the Senate, and Messrs. Burke and
r. Ineersoll tellers on that of the House.

which he utters not word. Why did he not refer
to the three resolutions which give character to the
whole series-the three which condemned his course
and say whether he would conform his action to
them, or not?
The language of Gen. Achison is in marked con-
trast with that of his colleague. He speaks directly
to the point declares that neither Mexico, nor any
other third power ought to be consuted that the ter
rtory ought not to be divided with the aboonists-
in short, that he is in favor of annexation the ba
sis OF the rejected treaty. Such is the way Missouri
Senator should speak; and Gen. Atchison has shown
that ne is Democrat worthy of the confidence of a
generous and patriotic constituency.
The members of the Legislature can now see the
proprety and necessity of giving the Colonel instruc
tons which he cannot misinterpret. Gen. Atchson
has put the correct construction the resolutions
the only one which sensible or honest would
think OF giving land it becomes the Legislature
to declare bt,ntly whether 1t meant to endorse Col
Benon's bill, or TO condemn it. The fewer the
words in which its sentiments are made known, the
better.
