Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1850-11-21
First in 1892. on Jackson's


proclamation; Second. in 1914, on
The Texas question; Third, the Res.
olutions passed at the last SEES
sion of the Legislature; all the "plots'
having for their object the secession Of
the South, as the main feature. These
plots be argued a, length, las, summer,
and in the present case are but repe,i
ton Of what he said then. His "sum
ming up" Of the effect Of his appeal
his notice of the "roitens"-his sale OF
them, is the most amusing portion OF
the whole affair, and we must make
room for it,
| appealed TO the people! The. appeal
has been tried, and decided, and abide the
issue. The August elections have tried, and
decided j. against the nulifers. Though
nominally counting thirty odd in the general
assembly. yet, in reality there is little more
than one.third Of that number actual null
li6ers in favor Of the resolutions OF the last
general assembly-in favor Of notification;
secession, and disunion as remedies for poll
tical evils. The rest are Union democrats,
deceived. and will come RICH. Of themselves.

make the declaration without qualification,
and without the chance OF contradiction
from any person except those who made poor
Richie believe that there were not above
thirty men in the State that could be got 10
be candidates for Benton. have examined
the case at Jefferson City, and am able to
say that in every instance in which an anti
Benton man was elected, he go. his election
by combination with wings, or by votes
from Benton men under pledge to 60 with
the majority Of the democracy. Further,
| am able TO say, that there is not one cleo
ted-not single one-in which the anti.
Bensons could be driven 10 a sepera.e organ
zalion-to run ticket OF their own, Of
they did in this county and few others in
which they were no. totally defeated, and
proved to be miserable minority. Further
still: | am able to say, tina. there is not q
county in the State in which anti-Bcnlon
candidates can now be elected against me
on anti. Benton dem ocratic votes.
The appeal is decided, and sus tanned, and
| have no further interest in the contest than
10 see execution done on the condemned
resolutions. All my objects have been &C,
complished. The people Of Missouri were
walked up to a sense OF their danger! The
whole Union was walked up to the danger OF
disunon! My appeal-my six months
speaking to the people Of Missouri-waked
up the State, and all the States. What
would have been the condition Of The coun>
try il | had not made the stand did, In
the first place, the democratic patty, as a
party, would have gone the whole length Of
the nullficalion resolutions OF the las. Gen.
eral Assembly. They would have CO opera.
ted with the South. They would have sen,
delegates TO the Nashville Convention. All
the slave States would have been represent
ted there. The convention would have been
renewed, and prolonged its sessions-would
have acted the par. OF Consress--snd even
lually the secession OF the Southern States
would have operated itself, w,hou. the for
maliy Of an open declaralion-and then the
fixing Of the secession line would have com.
memenced, and although i. never could have
crossed the Mississippi river, yet tho event
would have been sufficiently calami,ous
when any part Of The Union stood out in
open separation from the rest. From all
this my appeal saved the country, by waking
up the people Of the whole Union, and pre-
venting the State Of Missouri from CO ops
rating with the South, and being represented
in the Nashville Convention. The fate Of a
party, apollical party, is almos, too small
an object 10 be considered in so great catss.
troPhe. But what would have been now
the condition Of the democratic party in
Missouri if | had not come 10 the rescue, and
saved i. from the danger before il? Nulli>
fers had the management Of the party: they
had all the means OF acting upon public
opinion-judges, bank directors. presses.
members OF Congress. and OF the General
Assembly, and an organized band OF cons

have carried the party, as party. into null.
LITIGATION, and that would have been its de,

ruined. The wings would have taken the
