II is known the democracy held meeting at
Fayette last Monday week, and adopted test,
reading "nine-tenths" Of the democratic party out
Of the church. We are Indebted to friend at
Fayette for copy of the resolutions, which were
designed for last weeks paper, but did not reach
us in time. As this was very important meeting,
and will be referred to in future, we give the
names of those prominently engaged in the affair
Hon. Owen Rawlins presided, and J. X. Salton-
stall was Secretary.
The following gentlemen considered and pre-
scented the resolutions, previously drawn up by
General Clark, with, perhaps, the exception of
the Atchison one, which sounds very much like
DR.. Lowry:
W. M. jackson, M. B. Collins, WIN. J. Basket,
J. J. Lowry, John G. Herndon, L. s. Eddins, Da-
vid Peeler, J. W. A. Patterson N. G. Elliott, Jas.
Silvey, p. M. jackson, Boyd MeCrary, and Ne
riah Todd.
While this committee was digesting the Gene
ra's resolutions, upon motion of DIR. Lowry, the
General enlightened the audience upon "True
Democracy" as expounded by him in 200 speech
es in 1910, when he was the Wing candidate for
Governor, against that sterling old democrat, Gov.
tee reported the following
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, The Congress Of the U. s. has in the
passage Of the Kansas and Nebraska BILL passed
law that loudly calls for our unqualified and
hearty approval, and our entire approval Of those
distinguished statesmen who brought forward
the Nebraska Bill, and advocated il with zeal
and ability unprecedented in the annals of our
legislation. Therefore, be it Resolved
LIST. That the democracy of Howard county re-
cognise in the passage of the Kansas and Nebraska
Bill, the great democratic principle Of self-gov-
eminent.
I'd. That we hail the passage oil the Nebraska
Bill as signal triumph over abolitionism, free
soilism and federalism.
Sd. That we see in the Nebraska Bill an &C
acknowledgement, by the Congress of the U. s., Of
the right of the people to make their own inter-
nal laws and institutions in the Territories, ard
acknowledgment of the sovereignty and the rights
Of the people to govern themselves.
4th. That the denunciation of President Pierce
and his administration, by Giddings of Ohio, and
John P. Hale Of New Hampshire, and other abo-
ates, is the best possible evidence that could be
given Of his fidelity to the Federal Constitution,
and the rights of the people.
9Th. That our talented, distinguished, and infu-
entail Senator, Atchison, in his manly, bold and
firm support of the Nebraska and Kansas Bill, and
although the high position he held in the U. S.
Senate as President of the Senate pro tempore, and
ex-officio Vice President Of the U. S., debarred
him from taking part in the discussion, yet his sup
port and undying industry, his influence and
weight of character did much to pass those bills.
His constituents will duly appreciate his worth.
9Th. That we recognise in the Hon. S. A. Doug
las, Of ILL.,, and those northern members in Con-
gress who participated with him in the advocacy
Of the great principles of self government, de-
votion and ability never surpassed and as such
| dc ,opfa Irnir and no
ton.
It'll. That the democracy Of the U. S. has great
cause Of congratulation on the restoration OF the
constitutional rights of the south, by the repeal of
the 9Th section Of the Missouri Compromise Act.
9Th. That the 5000 New England clergymen
who protested against the passage Of the Nebraska
Bill in the name of Almighty God, uttered bias
phemy unworthy of an American clergyman, and
thereby disgraced themselves and brought re-
proach upon the religion of the Bible, and deserve
to be ranked with the abolitionists who hung the
Hon. S. A Douglas in etfgy.
9th. That as the late abolition free-soil meeting
held on the 3lst of May last, in the City Of Bos-
ton, has resolved that so much Of the Nebraska
bill as repeats the Missouri Compromise must be
repealed, and that slavery in the District Of Co.
lunba must be abolished, and that slavery must
be prohibited in the Territory of the United States
and all territories that may hereafter be acquired,
therefore it becomes us 10 maintain the reserved
rights of the States and of the people, and to use
all honorable and rightful means to maintain and
defend ourselves against abolition and free-soil
aggression and in order to effectuaIly secure the
reserved rights Of the States and the people, we
will give our preference in the selection Of candi-
dates to those Of our fellow-citZens who deny the
power of Congress to legslate slavery into or Out
Of the Territories.
