Congressional non-inierrention Jy State in.
terrCaiton. Judge n. asked if there was
any difference between legislative colon-
zation OF territory and that Of State? and i'll
an avowed attempt was made by Massachu-
sets TO convert Florida, for example, or
Missouri, into free State, by organised ar
mics, under legislative patronage, what
would be the answer Of Florida OF Missou-
ri, as TO the right of any such forays.-
Judge n. contended the action of Massachrl-
sets was against the spirit and intent Of the
act Of Congressional it was dangerous
and novel species of colonization, likely fol
lead TO most disastrous consequences TO in
vite retaliation, and indeed force struggle
whenever new territories were added.
At the conclusion of Judge Napton's re-
marks, motion was made TO suspend the
rules requiring the vote TO be taken by
counties. and the report Of the committee be
adopted as a whole, and that the vote be Ia
ken standing.
Col. Doniphan hoped the motion would
prevail, and that the vote would be so taken.
The resolutions reported by the committee
met with his hearty and unqualified en-
dorsement, ard he wished 10 see every head
and hand raised in approval, together with
corresponding approval by every heart
1t was a platform upon winch evey man
should stand, live by, and whilst he hoped
and believed the necessity would never
arise, yet if needs be we can die by them.
Gov. King said he preferred to see the res
olutions voted on first by counties, and re-
ceiye, as he believed they would, the unani-
nous vote Of every delegation.
The vote was so taken, the delegation
from each county casting their vote standing
and unansmous!y in favor of the resolutions,
They were afterwards submitted TO the
whole Convention including visitors, and
were agreed to unanimously, every man in
the house rising TO his feet and greeting the
result with q loud cheer.
An universal feeling OF satisfaction pre-
vailed thoughout the Convention at the result
and greater harmony could not have existed.
The other resolution which was adopted
in committee, but which did NOT form y mart
of their regular report, was then read
