"THE CAMPBELL'S ARE COMING,
OH-HOl OH-HOLw

MAKE WAY FoR THE UNTEKRiTIED DEHocRA-
CT OF LEwIs!-Thrice honored be the name OF
Lewis! 4! she has covered herself all over with
A mighty gathering together Of the
clans was held at her Court hpuse on the 2lst
ult. The youths Of twenty-one and the grey
headed veterans, Of the land were there. The
greatest enthusiasm peryaded the whole crowd;
and the motto of the Democracy--"Every thing
for the cause, nothing for men," was sent with an
earthquake shout to the skies. The vast con-
course was addressed in a thrilling and powerful
speech by the Hon. james s. Green, after which
a spirited preamble and resolutions were report
ed by that sterling and popular democrat, James
Eaeon, which were adopted without a dissent
ing voice." From the proceedings we nov ex.
tract the following resolutions; we will hereaf-
ter endeayor to publish them entire, in accord
ance with tie request of the last resolution.
Resolved, That this meeting heartily ap-
proves the firm and patriotic stand taken
|by the Legislature of our State at its las,
session, by the passage of certain Resolu-
tons on the subject Of slavery, commonly
called 'Jackson's Resolutions" and as ar
dent friends and firm supporters of the U.
Mon, we will sustain the principles therein
contained, and adhere strictly TO our long
cherished Democratic motto: "Every thing
for the cause, nothing for men,"
Resolved, That we regard all u legisla-
tive officers, as mere agents andservants OF
the people, and that their official action
should be confined strictly within the linn
its of the power, which prescribes their
duty, and that when such public servants,
in Ne discharge of their constitutional du-
|ty," vote and act in accordance with the
wishes Of their immediate constituents, we
are ever ready to cheer them onward and
greet them with the plaudit Of "Well done,
good and faithful servant )" but however
commanding the talents, and however ex-
allied the reputation of that servant who
sets at nsught the will of his immediate con.
stituents, we must and will put upon him
the seal Of our disapprobation.
RESOLVED, That we have received with
pain and regret, the appeal of the Hon.
Thomas H. Benton to the people of Mis-.
souri,, in which he vainly seeks to torture
tIo uIcdtIIHS Vk thO AsCooiubiobo oUObo re-
ferred to, aud pretends to consider them as
involving the question of Union and dis
Union-whereas in fact the real issue is,
maintenance of constitutional rights, on
the one side, in opposition to wild fanaticism
and reckless political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on
the other. And we hereby declare that
that appeal meets with our unqualified dis.
appreciation, and regard it as tending di.
rectly to deny and to destroy the v,gM Of
iinstruction-a right vital to our form Of
to the preservation of
liberty-sver cherished by the Democratic
party-interwoven and indissolubly con-
nected with every idea of free government
and Objectionable to none but those who
seek to exalt themselves above the power
that gave them being.
Res0Eved, That so vital and SO important
do we consider this momentous question,
that we cannot consent to support or sustain
any press, or any MAJ, whose sentiments
favor the adoption of thes1Proviso'-be-
lieving as we do, that all such, however
plausible the pretexts by which they labor
10 excuse or justify their course, should be
