Nullif:ation in Missouri.


1t is no wonder that Col. Ben'on hurls his
battle-axe against the Antics and II lis re-
news the war that Ire Jefferson CITY Con-
ven'ion vain'y endeavored 10 close. For
what did that Convention do? We will
show the people. In 1899, the Kentucky
legislature passed certain resolutions which,
though they never led 10 any acton on the
part OF that State. became widely celebrated
as an exposition Of States right doctrines.
In regard to in n'rac'ions O. the Constitution,
those X 'ntucky resolutions srys:
THAT the Sereral SAFES WHO frfmed that
instrument. being sovereign and independent
--have the umcueS'ionaIle right to judge oi
the infrac'ion: and that MI fcatitn ty
these SorereigntieS of all unsu'l orized ac's 5
done under color of t!lat instrument, as The
rigb'fd romedy."
The second resolution adopted " the late
d mocratic Jefferson CT y Convention, is the
flowing:
Resolved. That we still cling TO the re.
publican dec rines contained in the ce!ebrat-
ell Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, as
understood and expounded by their distin.
gu;shed authors, which contained the pat.
form upon which the republicans of that
period rallied and swept the alien and Sc.
dition laws from the statute look and check.
