Tho following resolutions we're submitted
Is the meeting BY the chairman Ct the com
mittea. ol. q. II. Young, and after having
been read, we're unanimously adopted.
Rssolsed, That as JefFersonian Demo-
crats, We holdthat full weight and authority
should 10 given At Al times, and by all her
citizens, to the viii Of the majority Of the
people Of a State when lawfully expressed;
that the Compromise measures having been
submitted to the people Of Mississippi, and
d majority Of the votes IN the September
election having determined on acquiescence,
I've regard il as the fixed and settled detcrmi-
nation Of our State,
2 Resolred, That the several states cons
posing the United States of America, are
not united on Tie principle Of unlimited
submission to their general government; but
that by compact under the style and title of
a constitution for the United States, and Of
amendments thereto, they constituteda gem
eral government for special purposes, dele
gated to that government certain definite
powers, rcserying each to itself the residuary
mass Of right to their own sclf-government;
and that whcn-so-ever the general govern
mcnt assumes undolegated powers, its acts
are unauthoritatiYe, void, and Of no force !:
That to this compact each State accedcd as
a State, and is an integral party, its co-states
forming as to itself, the other party That
the government created BY this eampact
was not made the exclusive or final j,lage Of
the extent Of the powers delegated to itself;
since that would have made its discretion,
and not the constitution, the measure Of It's
powers; but that as in all other eases of
compact among parties having no common
judge, each party has an equal right 70 Judge
for itself, as well Of infractions, as Of the
mode aud measure Of redress.

tional Bank; TO a general system Of Iutcr-
