was ascertained that many members
were not satisfied with either set, and
the result was, that several drafts were
sketched out by myself and other mem.
bers of both houses, and by one or two
persons not members of either house.
From these different drafts and the two
printed sets, the resolutions introduced
by me, were made up, and the whole
sin committed by Judge Napton in this
work Of "high treason" consists in the
fact, that at my request, he wrote out
three resolutions, and three only--the
same l supposed he read to Gen. Price,
and not one of which as written by him
were introduced in the six resolutions
presented to the Senate by me. This
is the manner in which the resolutions
were gotten up, and brought before the
Senate. This is the whole Of that dam.
nable plot" over which Col. Benton has
been bowling for the last three months
and about which be has been quite sue
cessful in telling the truth, as he was in
his story, that Napton and Morrow
were brother nulifers in 1882, and had
sopped together in the same dish of
notification, a year before Morrow had
ever been in the State. How unfortu.
nate for Colonel Benton, that no twill.
ing witnesses" has yet volunteered to ties.
,ify to the truth of this par, of his
story!
But the most wonderful fact connec-
tee with this wicked plo, to dissolve the
Union, and blow up Col. Benton, is,
that Gen. Sterling Price-the bosom
friend Of Colonel Benton, should have
been consulted in the nefarious scheme;
and what is not less surprising, i, would
seem, that he too, was willing to lend a
helping hand in the work, for, i'll am moi
greatly mistaken, he has said in public
speeches. and also in public letter.
"lhat had he been a member of the
Genera Assembly, he would have 70.

One would suppose from the clamor
which has been raised by Col. Benton
and his followers over these resolutions
that Missouri had never spoken such
language before. This is not the fact,
and in order that the people ofthe State
may see what were the principles and
doctrines of Missouri in former times,
| ask them to read the following reso.
lutions introduced into the House of
Representatives by Gen. Sterling Price
on the 4th day Of February ls4I. See
House Journal for that session, pages
357 and 35s.
