/ lndL lne gentleman from SI. LOUIS SlOulu
have been selected as the person to whom
it was proper 10 communicate this informa-
| ton, instead Of himself who resided in Wes-
ton, or his colleagues, MessrS Dorriss or
Doniphan. If the gentleman from St. Lou
is wanted to head a regiment to march
against the people of Platte, all he had to do
was to let it be known. He trusted the
House would see the intent Of the resolu.
ion, and lay it on the table.
Mr.. DARNrs, on his name being called
said that the House had no official informa-
ton that any disturbance existed on the
frontier. Mr.. Blair had received private
dispatch, and that was all the authority he
had. He was inclined to think that the
matter was what Col. Benton called goats .
WOOL 1t would figure in the columns ofthe .
New York Tribune in a few days. Ii .
would 90 forth TO the world that the State of
Missouri was in a state Of Instruction.
He vas not prepared 10 say by his vote that
civil war was raging in the State. He .
would guarantee his friend behind him (Mr. /
Breckenridge that q hair of lis head would
not be touched by the people of Platte coun
ty.
Mr.. DoYlruAN Of Clay, said that having
practiscd law in Platte before it became
county, he knew its people as well if not
, better than any CT its representatives,. He
- knew those gentlemen in ParkvilIe who had
signed the circular, and they were all res
! pcctabe and honorable men. If any inva-
, sion of the town Of Parkville haI been
r threatened. these gentlemen would not hest
, tate TO make application to the Governor,
= for the necessary aid TO suppress it. An.
= other reason for discrediting the report
: which was alluded TO in the House. was the
= fact that the circuit court was in session in
. Platte. and that Judge Norton, who was
= high minded talented, conservative gentle.
n man, would take measures TO maintain the
G inviolabili'y of the law, if any design to
), subyert them were entertained. The peo-
pie Of Platte county he considered as high
o minded, as honorable and MS law abiding, as
g the citizens of any other portion oCthe State.
n He felt tito be q duty 10 vindicate the peo-
V pie Of Platte from any ilnpu'ation OF being
+. di>ordcrly or riotors. The information
Y conveyed 10 The acntlcman from St. Louis,
was founded upon misapprehen>ion.
j Mr.. Evrnrrr said that it was lis fortune
n to have cultivated general acquaintance.
IT with the citizens Of Platte and lie was as
= toui>hei at the resolution, which was intro
Y, duced against that county. 1t was one OF
e the last counties TO which he supposed such
m resolution could apply. II he had been a
le representative Of the honorable citizens of
e Platte county, he would move hat the rcso-
rs lutions should be eXpunged from the jour-
l. nal.
ID Mr., FAGG said, that now, when mems mo-
N tivos We're so closely scrutmizcd, that he
le should say a few words, in explanation o
l. his vote. He endorsed every word that his
m friend from st, Louis Mr., breckenridge had
ID said; the resolutions merely required tho
lie investigation should be made into the tru;l
le of statements that came in wel! authenti.
in Gated shape. The most exaggerated &C
r. counts Of the state of things on the borier
le filled newspapers Of the county, and event.
rs had occurred which demonstrated that ther,
= existed a spirit Of disturbance, on the from
to tier counties and the resolution required
y that steps should be taken 10 find out III,
y truth.
TT Mr.. McCARTy stated, that the represen
st tatives from St. Louis, who had been sen
n up there by riot blood>hed, and mrude
presumed to teach them, the people of tn
r border counies-law and order. The peo
a pie of Platte knew, if danger threatene,
Ut them, they had a Governor of the State 0
te Missouri, on whom they might rely. II
er would therefore vote no.
ce Mr. MooRr said that lie was not in III
es habit of explaining his vote, but he woul
in say few words on this occasion. 1t ha
is, been said that the people of Platte wer
ce law abiding, and that the officers of the lay
lat would enforce it. Now he wanted to knoy
n irthe people of Platte were so orderly, VIII
y, they violated the law on former occasio
TO by throwing printing press into the Mis-
'e' souri, river, and why did not the officers en-
n force the law. He was desrous 10 see III
I'd laws observed every where, and outrage
'n' suppressed, and he would therefore vot
ed against laying the resolution on the tabl,
ny although he assented to the complimentar
'r- expressions applied by many of the mem
an bers to the citizens Of Platte county.
H- Mr.. SMITH, OF Pettis, said: Heretorort
not -. :, oos,;oo, ,,,. voto bo,.o boou ...,..
''s to do so without explaining the reasons tn,
