halloW cd TO us by The memory oil It's lminor-
tai hero, we are assembled again, according
to the long established usage OF the Demo
cratic party, to review the past, to consider
the present, and 10 deliberate for the future;
therefore,
Resolved, That VIC hold in grateful re-
membrance the brilliant deeds, the distin.
guished public services, the devoted patri-
otism, and the unterrifed Democracy, OF
GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON.
Resolved, That we call with peculiar sa-
tisfaction, at the present time, the political
! life of Andrew Jackson---an Overwhelming
scheme of internal improvements by the Ma
tional Government stopped by his veto-the
National debt extinguished-the separation
of bank and State declared-an immense
monied monopoly crushed, and the monstrous
head of notification, the first, laid low by
the patriotic thunders of the proclamation;
and that we rejoice that there still survives
among us, solitary and alone in his glory
the great champion whose thunder made
Foote tremble and deny his master--of his
policy, whose Senatorial eloquence, whose
firmncss and undaunted courage, have main
ly contributed to the downfall of nullifca-
ton the second and second time to put an
end TO dangerous agitation by anticipating
its object, and early rendering it powerless
for evil to the country.
Resolved, That we ndhere TO the Balti-
more Platform Of lS4S; and that we repu-
diate, as that Baltimore Convention of 1S4S
repudiated, the disorganizing resolutions of
Calhoun, offered in that Convention by Yam
cy, of Alabama, and in the Legislature of
Missouri, by Jackson, of Howard: and that
we are unwilling that Legislative record,
much less a law of binding force, shall go
down to our posterity, pledging our yet glo-
rious young State to hearty cooperation
with South Carolina and her confederates,
in her infamous schemes Of threatened dis
union-a black spot while it stands upon the
patriotism of Missouri, and a burning shame
upon her people.
Resolved, That We adhere to, and abide
by the resolves and instructions of the Mis-
souri, General Assembly Of February 10,
l847, entitled Joint Resolution in relation
to the Missouri Compromise Act of 1926"
and which joint resolution was obeyed by
Senator Benton in the Oregon bill, and dis
obcyed by Senator Atchison, and was in the
following words:
Resolved, That the peace, permanency
and welfare Of our national Union depend
upon a strict adherence to the letter and spir-
it of the Sth section of the act of Congress,
entitled AN act to authorize the people of
the Missouri Territory TO form constitu-
ton and State government, for the admis-
sion Of such State into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States, and to pro-
hibit slavery in certain Territories, approved
March 9Th, 1920" and that our Senators in
Congress be instructed, and our Reprcscn-
tatives requested, 10 vote in accordance with
the provisions and the spirit of the said act
in all the questions which may come before
them in relation to the organization Of new
Territories, or States out of the territory
now belonging to the United States, or which
hereafter may be acquired by purchase, by
treaty or by conquest"
Resolved, That we recognize, in its full
est extent, the Democratic doctrine OF the
right of instruction, within constitutional
limits and according to the will of the peo-
pie.
Resolved, That in acknowledging the
right of the Legislature to instruct, and in
obeying their instructions, when called upon
to act and vote under them, and in promising
TO resign rather than execute reasonable in
structions, though unconstitutional, against
the will ofthe people, and Of no binding force,
Col. Benton deserves the highest approba-
ton Of the people of Missouri; and that the
conduct of Senator Atchison, in hatly dis
obeying instructions and voting against the
Oregon bill, of which disobedicnce he has
never SO much as asked the pardon of the
people, and in villifying those who did dis
obey, has impaired cur confidence in him as
a man of principle and a Democrat.
Resolved, That we have no confidence in
the Democracy, or the principles, ofthoso re-
crcont Democrats, who traitorously deserted
their party to vote for Wing Senator,
forming corrupt coalition with the Wings,
based on the seven conservative, principles,
"Five Loaves and Two Fishes" and held
together by 'rhe cohesive power of public
plunder."
Resolved, That the Democratic princi-
pie Of separation of Bank and State, the pu-
rity OF the Democratic Marty. and Drotcction
