The Democratic Meeting at Fayette.


The Democratic Meeting at Fayette.
Pursuant 10 notice, the democracy Of
Howard held meeting at Fayctte on Mon
dav. There was large number Of per-
sons in the place that day, it being the first
dav of The December term OF the Circuit
Cont: but so far as the meeting was con-
cerned. there was rather a meager atten-
dance.
Wade NJ. Jackson presided, assisted by
James Ross-B. II. Twombly acting as Sec
rotary. Messrs. ]. w. Henry, J. j. Low
~. L. S. Eidins, o. Rawlins, M. A. lay
lor, T. c. Stopleton, (Anties,) and c. Will
coxon. (Bentan,) were appointed COM
mittee to prepare resolutions. Mr.. Will
coxon not appearing in the committee room,
John Lee was appointed in his stead. The
committee was out a long time, and when
they appeared, presented two reports. MI
Henry. who was Chairman, prctaccd the
reading of the majority report with few
remarks. in which he wished it distinctly
understood he disagreed with 1t, and only
presented it as chairman. The report was
very lengthy having been drawn up by
Major C. T. Jackson, and though some pro-
fe,sions were made favorable, yet 1t was de-
cidedly hostile to 4 union with the Benton
democracy. As well as we recoIicoi, it
opened with constitutional argument on the
bowers of congress, the rights Of the States
&c: declared against q National Bank and
Protective Tariff; "endorscd, re-at!irmcd'
and re-aloplcd, the Kentucky and Virgin
ia Resolutions of '9S-the Anterior Keso-
Ihtions--thc Baltimore ResolutiOns--the
Livingston County resolutions-denounced
the National Cabinet as Federai-denounced
the Benton party's position-dec!arod IN Ia
vor Of separate convenuon,-and, as
whole, declared for the series of Congress
iopal enactmcnts known as the Compromise
Measures.
After the reading of the majority report,
Mr.. Henry submitted a minority report,
drawn up by himself, endorsing the Balti-
Q more Platform, the right Of instruction, and
advocating ''mixed convention" lie
urged the adoption of his report, i'll brief
speech, contending that thcy covered the
entire ground of the National democracy
and that. if union of the party was desi-
rable, this was the only platform upon which
ounion could be effected; he deprecated the
making new platform, with every change
of the moon. and disscntcd from one of the
constitutional points in Mr.. Jacl,son's new
platform. Major Jackson replied in defence
Of hi, report. rs also did DR.. Lowry, when
the rcyort of the minority was rejected, and
that Of the mqiorily adopted.
When ,ha fine proceedings are published,
we will rocur to them again.
we observed but few Bantonitcs in at
tendance-and from the fact Of Mr.. VIII
covon declining TO 20 into tie meeting, as

The detention in the committee room was
understood to arise from debate that arose
on tbe different sets Of resolutions there pre-.
sortoa u, Lowry offered series, about
the same length, and pretty much the same
in character as those Of Major Jackson
