HOWARD RESOLUTIONS.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic meeting at
Fayette, on the .4th:
/. Resolved, That we adopt the Res
olutions of the Missouri Legislature,
known as Jackson's Resolutions as
fully expressing our views on the subject
of slavery.
,. Resolved, That the spirit of our
political institutions, requires the Rep
resentalve to conform his official con-
duct to the will of his constituents, and
we regard it as violation of cardinal
principle of the Democratic party, in
any man, however eminent his position
TO retain his seat in either branch Of
the Legislature of the State or of the
Congress of the U. States, and disre.
garded the instructions of those who
have selected him to represent them.
8. Resolved, That Senator Benton's
Appeal TO the People of the State from
the instructions of the Missouri Legisla.
ture on the subject of slavery, is incon-
sislent with his former opinions of the
q right of instruction, and is in violation
of a principle ever cherished by the
Democratic party, which requires the
representative TO obey the instructions
that may be given to him by his con-
stluents or resign his Office and afford
them an opportunity 10 select one who
will represent them.
4. RESOLVED, That the Honorable d.
r. Atchison, has our thanks and graft.
tude for the ability, dignity and faith
fulness with which he has represented
the State of Missouri in the Senate of
the United States; and we feel that all
the slaveholding States are under obi.
cations to our Senator, for the bold and
manly position he has assumed agains,
the aggressons of anti-slavery tanati-
cism upon Southern Democratic inst j.
tutions.
S. RESOLVED, That the Hon. James s.
Green our Representative in Congress
from this District, has our increased con.
hdencc for the ability and faithfulness
with which he has represented his Dis
trict, and we are proud to learn thai
he is with us in opposition 10 the AP
peal of COL Benton.
