Whig Talk,

The Wings of Boone county, at their re-
cent meeting, adopted the following resolu-
! tions:--
= --~'-e'', rnat rno wings or Boone
county regard the great interests of Agri-
culture, Commerce and Manufactures as so
inseparably connected, that national meas
ures injurious TO either are injurious to all
that the rapidly increasing products of
the West require greater facilities of COM
mercial transport-that the regulation of
commerce, both external and internal. is
placed by the Constitution of the United
States, among the clearly expressed and un-
doubted powers of Congress, and that the
Improvement Of our great rivers and lakes,
by the removal of obstructions from the riv-
ers, and building harbors on the lakes, are
among the most obviously just and necessa-
ry uses of this important power.
2. That the great Wing doctrines of Pro-
lection to American industry and abor-a
well regulated system of internal improve
ments, both State and National-unsweryin
attachment to the Union of the States-un-
compromising hostility TO the odious here
sizes Of secession, notification and aboli-
tionism are now, and ever have been, car
dinal principles of the Wing party-and
form, in our judgment, the broad and deep
foundations on which rest the hopes and the
true and enduring interests of the whole
country.
3. That the Federal and State govern
ments are parts Of one system, alike neces-
sary for the common prosperity, peace and
security, and ought to be regarded alike
with cordial, habitual and immoveable at.
tachment. Respect for the authority and
rights of each, and acquiescence in the con-
stitutional measures of each, are duties re-
quired by the plainest considerations of ma
tional, of State, and of Individual welfare.
4. That although the people of this State
have always been willing to abide by the
Missouri Compromise, as they have re-
peatedly declared thro' their General As
sembly, yet believing that the best and only
just mode of settling the slavery question
is to submit ii to the judgment of the people
we approve OF the establishment of the Ter
ritories of Kansas and Nebraska, with pow
er in the people who may settle in these
territories to regulate the subject of slavery
within their own limits according to their
own pleasure.
5. That we are decidedly in favor of
Railroad to the Pacific, on the Central Route,
with branches to the North and South,
thus accommodating the whole people and
Strengthening the bonds which bind US to-
gether under our glorious constitution.
q. That for the purpose of facilitating the
construction of said Road, and of encouraging
the early and prompt settlement of the coun-
try, we recommend the passage of law by
Congress, appropriating alternate sections
Of the public lands to the building of the
road, and donation to actual settlers of
tracts not less than quarter section.
Z. That in the coming election in this
State the united and determined efforts of
the Whig party are essential to success, and
all true Wings, therefore, are recommended
to use every honorable exertion to promote
the success OF our cause. Union and effort
in the canvass, and full Wing vote at the
polls, are the watchwords, and in them vic
tory is certain. .rr.
IL Most ladies think it a misfortune to
be ugly. This is mistake quite frequent
ly. The chances are as the world goes, that
homely women are altogether the best at
heart, head and soul. A pretty face often
