Arkansas intelligencer., 1848-10-14

the Gazette and Banner, each pretending be, par
e@ceIIencc, the organ Of its party, should be COM
bined in their efforts to break down one of the 4.
strongest democratic features in our government ?
Nothing can be more republican. more democra-
tic, or more sacred, than tno right Of instructions
Yet these papers have unitedIy woged war upon
the people of Pulaski county, for daring to " In
struct their representatives." This reyy dsm0cra
tic Journal, the Banner, feels justified in its course
by the end il has ia view-the election Of Col. Sc
vier Will the family break down all the rights
Of the people 10 consummate their ambitious pro-
jecls? This right Of instruction is not only a
popular feature in the democratic doctrine, but is
one of. the constitutional rights Of the people,
guaranteed to them in the 20th section Of the De-
clara!ion OF Rights Then, if the right of the
people to instruct their representatives is a coasti
iuti0aal right, obedience on the part Of the repre-
sentative is constitutional duty. The represen-
tativo who refuses to obey the instructions of his
constituents violates his oath as palPably as be
could do it by disregard Of any other consiitu-
tional duty. We know Of no representative who
is so far truaut to his dulios rs TO deny the right Of
Instructions. and believe none such have been
elected to our Legislature; but yet our views are
" in order" when he right Of instruction is sol
manlulIy combatted by the dsmocrGtic Banner,
and its whggish' conferee the Gazette.
