The Jackson Resolutions.

The repeal of these resolutions are again
being discussed by some OF the papers,
Our position is well known, and we are sat-
isfed TO leave the matter to the discretion Of
the Wing members, feeling satisfied they
will neither compromise themselves or the
party.
Bit we only desired to place upon
record the following views of the Jefferson
Examiner, which it is understood is to be
the organ Of the new administration, and
which doubtless reflects the views of Gov.
Price. That paper says
"On opening our exchange, the Jefferson
Inquirer, we find an editorial, designed to be
reply TO correspondent on the subject of
the repeal of the so called Jackson Resou-
tons. The editor declares himself in favor
Of the repeal Of these resolutions, for the
reason he alleges, that they are calculated to
do more mischief, if ''left upon the statute
book, than if they were repealed" We
had hoped, that this subject, which is preg-
nant with excitement, and out Of which no
real advantage can be gained, even admitting
the possibility of such result as the editor
desires, would be hushed in death, and con-
signed to the tomb of the Capulets, instead of
being revived, and opening, through its re-
vival those distracting questions hiohhave
hitherto agitatcd and convulsed the democrat
ic party in Missouri. As Democrats, en-
gagged in defending and sustaining the prin-
cipes Of the same great party, we desired
that nothing should arise which would di-
vert us from thus tremendously cooperating
in furthering this design. Nor can we see
the justification which one protesting those
principles can claim after the recent action
Of this party in convention assembled; and
when too, such action resulted in the sue
cess of the Democratic cause. BY reference
10 resolution, which may be found in the
proceedings of the convention which assem-
bled in this city in the spring of the pre-
sent year, as well as the convention which
met in Baltimore for the purpose of noinna:
ting candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States, it will be
found that the party, of which our neighbor
of the Inquirer is prominent member, SOL
emily covenanted to recognize the compro-
mise acts which We're passed by the Con-
gress of the United States, as a final settle
ment of the question which it was designed
to settle.
Now, in the name of Jupiter, how can a
man who endorses the action Of these two
conventions, maintain his consistency, when
he emphatically declares his preference and
desire, for the repeal Of a set of resolutions
which have been framed with aview of de.
filming the position Of the State on the sub
ject of slavery itself; and not open up the
whole subject of renewed agitation.
The people of Missouri have long since
become wearied with questions of abstrac
tion-and while they would gladly enjoy al
endless respite from such broils as are ne
cessarily consequent upon renewing sucl
questions as the one referred to here, they
neither seek nor desire such result, how
ever agreeable in itself, by the sacrifice o
their rights or compromise of their honor
Holding such sentiments and anxious for thu
peace and harmony of our party in the full
enjoyment of all their political rights, anc
privileges, we intend to hold fast and main
tain our principles with all the zeal which
is characteristic Of our nature, and repel ag
gression whenever made by either friend o
foe.
