resolutions of 98-9-Benton, and other abb

general, and Howard county and John w.
Henry in particular, greatly to the edifica-
ton Of the unterrifed-co concluding with as
surfing them that Hounoy made il a test,
as did ALL TRUE DEMOCRATS.
The Doctor was followed by Gen, Clark,
who endeavored to show that the "nigger
question" was embodied in the Alien and
Sedition Laws, and was consequently set
tied by the resolutions of 1889; felicita-
ted the democracy of Howard upon their
glorious triumph in 1850, when they elect
ed him to the Legislature-which he con-
sidered the brightest laurel they had ever
won or wore! (The General did not tell
them whether he esteemed this victory great
from the intrinsic merit of the man, or the
difficulty of promoting man whom the
wings had often tried and iaied.) He
spoke with ineffable scorn of Gardenhire and
the "chuckel headed" Richardson's, and
boosted that he had not voted for them-not
he!
He was followed by ]. W. Henry, who
ponrd in well directed rounds ofgrape which
tod with dreadful effect upon the Testers,
whose frequent writings told that some of
the shot had lodged in the paunch. He de-
MED that the resolutions of 1883 said
anything about the power Of Congress over
slavery in the Terriiories-but simply de-
clared, as expounded by their distinguished
author, Madison. that Congress should ex-
ercise none other but delegated p,wers.-
He would test Gen. Clark's logic on this:-
Congress had no right. saiG one, to charter
a United States Bank, it not being delega-
ted power-therefore the power OF Congress
to charter U. s. Bank, was test Of de-
mocracy! Admit it, and you not Only un-
church the author of the resolutions, Presi-
dent Madisan himself, one of the fathers Of
democracy, but Gen. Clark also. (Here the
General interrupted him, and appealed to
his printed circular and 200 speeches, in
1910, to show that Congress had no power
to establish branches in the State, without
their consent. Bah!) This not being the
question he was pressed hard to get him to
admit that he ever admitted that Congress
had power to charter U. S. Bank, but in
vain! The principle was then applied to a
high protective Tariff. This caught the
General. But his mercless enemy left him
not TO founder at his leisure, in his own
mire--but piled the cruel lash to many ten
der points, until the writings of his victim
evinced the approaching agony, when he
was kindly left TO extricate himself as bes,
he could, but with hide SO riddled that in
the opinion of good judges it was thought
quite doubtful whether it could ever again
carry him to Jefferson City for the glorifca-
ton Of the Testers.
He { Henry had been denounced as fishy.
He would advise those gentlemen who lived
in glass houses not to throw stones. That
he, who was born Democrat, reared a
Democrat, and had all his life voted with
and labored for the democratic party, should
be denounced as fshy democrat, was Of
itself cool piece Of impudence-but CON-
ing from those who only four years ago were
found bowling in the pack OF Clark against
Thos. Jackson, and that, too, without Clark
ever having claimed TO be democrat, was
an outrage. Ii was well known that DR.
Lowry supported Clark against Jackson al
a time when the General claimed to have
an extra ring on his tail;-he supposed il
was this extra talismanic ring that gained
his support. He felt thankful that he hat

Could DIR. Lowry say as much?
