Whig Meeting in Boone.

LIST. RESOLVED, That the Wings Of Boone
county regard the great interests of Agricul-
tire, Commerce and Manufactures as SO in
separately connected that national measures
injurious to either are injurious to all; that the
increased and raidly increasing agricultural
products of the West require great and in
creasing facilities of commercial transport;
that the regulation Of commerce, both ex-
ternal and internal, is placed by the con-
stitution of the U. S. among the clearly, ex-
pressly and undoubted powers of Congress;
and that the improvement of the great Lakes
and Rivers of the West, by the construc-
ton Of harbors on the Lakes and the remov-
al of Instructions from the Rivers, is among
the most obviously just and necessary uses
Of this important power, and would directly
tend by the increase Of internal trade and
commerce, TO the rapid advancement of these
great interests of the people.
I'd. That the great Wing doctrines Of
protection to American industry and labor
"A well regulated system of internal i'm
provements, especially in reference to the
internal commerce Of the great lakes and
rivers OF the Wcst-unswerving attachment
to the union o. these States-uncomprom
ing hostility 10 the odious doctrines ofseces-
sion and notification, and 70 Executive usur-
pations Of the powers OF Congress, are now
AS they have ever bcen--cardinal princi-
pies in the policy of the Wings, and form in
their judgment the broad and deep founda-
tons on which rest, and ever must rest, the
prospective hopes, and the true and endur-
ing interests Of the whole country.
Sd. That Gin the language rthe Congress
sional Wing Caucus of December lst, 1857
we regard the series of acts known as the
Adjustment measures as forming in their
mutual dependence and connection system
OF Compromise the most conciliatory and
the best for the entire country that could be
obtained from conflicting sectional interests
and opinions, and that, therefore, they ought
to be adhered to and carried into faithful ex-
ecution, as final settlement in principle and
substance of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace.
4th. That in regard to our connection
with foreign powers, their revolutions and
dissentions, we adopt the language of An
drew Jackson, in his fourth annual mes
sageto- Congress, namely, "Our oest wish
es on all occasions, our good offices when re-
CURED, will be afforded to promote the do
nestle tranquility and foreign peace of all
nations with whom we have any intercourse.
ANY intervention in their affairs further
than this, is contrary to our principles of ma
tional policy, and should always be avoid
ed"
9th. That the Administration of the Cen
eral Government by Willard Fillmore has
been characterized by consummate wisdom
and statesmanship--that his frmness, con-
servatism and prudence as the Executive
head of the nation have guided us safely
through the perils of domestic anarchy and
foreign embarrassments, and that in him we
behold an embodiment Of American patrio-
tism and official integrity, enabling him to
perform his responsible trust and execute
the Constitution and laws of the land in de-
fiance Of combinations and cabals, and the
insolent opposition Of sectional faction at war
with the peace Of the country and the perpe-
tuity ofthe Union. Such man we delight
to honor, and therefore we declare Willard
Fillmore our first choice for The Presiden.
cy at the next election, subject 10 the decis-
ion of the Wing National Convention.
9th. That we think Boonville the proper
!, place and the third Monday in April the
proper time for holding the Wing State Con-
!. vcntion.
It'll. That we have the utmost confidence
in the integrity. talents and political prin-
ciples of the Hon. John G. Miller, repre-
sentative TO Congress from this District; and
he is, therefore, the first choice of the wings
o. Boone as candidate for Congress at the
: August election. Believing him unmistak-
: ably the choice of the Wings of the District
we think District Convention to nominate
) candidate unnecessary.
The resolutions of the committee having
been read Col. Samuel Young introduced the
following;
list. Resolved, That ours is Govern
ment of limited powers; that Congress has
nc powers but what are granted by the letter
Of the Constitution, or those which are
necessary and proper to carry into effect
such granted power; and that in any given
instance ofthe exercise of power byCongress
it is necessary to show the specific grant
of it, or that the proposed measure is neces-
