The true Democrat., 1855-01-03
Col. Redmond's Resolutions.

By an unintended omission we failed in our last number to notice the excellent resolutions introduced by Col. Redmond, of Monroe, in the House of Representatives. We take great plea sure in making the aD1ende honorable, by present. ing our readers with the resolutions as offered by their author, expressing at the same time our emphatic and unequivocal endorsement of every position involved in them. As the best evidence of their unexceptionable character suffice it to say that they are bold aud decided approval of the policy of the present Administration and of the time honored principles of the democratic party on the slavery question. The committee to whom they were referred reported them back to the House without amendment and re- commended their passage. They will undoubt- edly received the support of every democratic member and we hope the whig members will agree to torego partisan prejudice and sustain them also. By their introduction Col. Red- democracy and has entitled himself to the thanks of the country.

 l. Be H Reso7yed by the GenerM Assembly, o the State of Arhansas, That the legislation o Congress repeating the mis-named "Compro- mise" of 1920, and asserting the doctrine O. non-interference with slavery alike in States and Territories, is in strict accordance with the Constitution, and in itself just and expedient, and is, for these reasons, cordially approved by the people of Arkansas
 2. Resolued, That the opposition of northern States to the legislation above mentioned, is at war with the letter and spirit of the Constitu- tior-is grossly violative of plighted faith, and is traitorous blow aimed at the rights of the South and the perpetuity of the Union. 3. Resozye1, That the citizens of the State of Ohio have pursued course peculiarly unjust and odious in their fanatcal hostility to insti~ tutions for which they are not responsible in their encouragement of known felons, and en- dorsement of repeated aud shameless violations of law and decencv, and in their establishment of abolition presses. and circulation of incendia- rv documents. urging a scrvile population to blood and rapine; and, by reason of the premises, it is the duty and the interest of the people of Arkansas to discontinue all social and commercial relations with the citi zens of said State: and the same is hereby earnestly recom- mended, as a punishment of past outrages, and preventive of further aggressions.
 f. That his excellencv the Governor be, and he is hereby requested to transmit copies of these resolutions to the Governor of the several States and Territories of the Union, to be laid before the legislative authority thereof, and to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, to be laid before the Senate and House of Rep~ resentatives of the United States.
