BOONE KANSAS RESOLUTIONS.

Inc people OF DOuuc hhu EIHIlu hdnSdS
demonstration Oh tho "a inst. Two calls
were issued, and two separate meetings
held, before the business was satisfactorily
dispatched. At the preliminary ruee-
ting, a committee consisting Of three wings
and three democrats was appointed 10 pre-
pare resolutions. DIR. Lee headed the dem
ocrats-Col. Switzlcr the wings. AT the
adjourned meeting, in the afternoon, it was
found necessary TO leave the Court House,
and repair to the Fair Grounds, IN order o
accommodate the crowd. Alter much noise
and confusion, the meeting divided, md two
sets OF resolutions were adopted, which we
publish below. The dollar Journal" in
sists that large majority Of The people as
sembled, concurred in Lees revolutions
The "Sta esman," on the other hand claims
that SwITzLER's resolutions were adopted
by the meeting, LEE and his friends having
withdrawn and organized separately, We
like SwITzLERs resolutions best-better
than LEES or the Howard county resolutions
because in the language OF the ST. Louis
Republican, "They are 10 the point and COW
er the Whole ground Of difference between
the slave and -slaverholding States, and
indicate The same position whieh Missouri
oHghtto occupy on The grdre question before
the country. Good men, OF all parties, may
we'll unite onthe principles and policy enun-
ciated in these resolutions, however much
they may differ on other questions; and in
go doing we can present an undivided ar, az
against our political and social enemies"
This is no time, and slavery not the ques-
ton, for demagogucry. We must take such
ground as will enable us topresent an 'undl-
viacd array against our political and social
enemies. The Introduction into public
meetings Of peculiar tenets and far-fetched
notions of slavery, only tend TO divide our
strength, and array one portion Of our peo-
pie against another. All cannot, and will
not look at the subject alike: nor is it TO be
expected that I'LL will agree as to the prop.
Sr steps 10 be taken TO meet the crisis, OF
sanction everything that may have been done
Difference OF opinion Oh such matters doe,
not establish the point that one is better
pro-slavcry man than another; nor is it any
justification for the charge Of lrce-solism
or unsoundncss, that is 50 Of en- made agains
many OF our best citizens and most ex,en
sive slave owners. Men are very difIeren
in their temperament, Judgment and actions
This is seen in every day transactions-seer
in politics, religious and social intercourse
yet in such matters, honestyis generally &C
corded TO opponents; we give others ,ht
same credit for patriotism aud piety tina
wo claim for ourselves. Why is this 10
done on the slavery question? Beeau,,
demagogues, looking to future peIf and pow
er, seize upon this question, aware of tn,
ease with which ahexciiement can be arou
sed, and hoping to ride into power Oh tina
excitement, or at least kill oil an opponent
who keeps himself free from excitement
and whose notions' maysnot exactly square
with the state of>tbe public pulse for th'
time being. They can raise a hurricane
but who shall still it2
Without further remark, we come TO tht
resolutions adopted BY the Boone count,
meeting.
SwIrzLER's RESOLUTIONS.
Reeo'pe!. !. That domestic slavery, as
now exists i'll many Of the States of the Tn
ion, is recognized and protected by the con
stitution OF the United States, and is left b,
that instrument TO be regulated alone by th
municipal policy Of the States il which it i
or may be established.
2. That the aggressive and fanatical spir
it evidenced by the Abolitoniss and Free
soers OF the North, wantonly to interior
with the institution both in the States an
territories, is calculated to disturb the friend
ly feeling which should exist between III
people OF TIE several States, light the tore
Of sercile instruction and war, and ull
mately to dissolve the Union.
3. Non-inervenlion, therefore, on IN
part OF Congress, with slavery both in Ill
States and territories; and non-intcrrrrenC
by the people Of the free States, with s'a, I.
i'll the slave States, is not only in accordanC
with the constitution, but the dictates Of b:
.riotism and sound pulley; and that tho,
who would attempt to subvert these prime
pies ought to be regarded as enemies OF II
Union. seeking to effect by incendiary ag
tatiou the destruction OF our domestic pea.
and the palladium Of our liberties.
4. That abolitonIsn and fseesuilism a
monsters Of iniquity, at war with the be
interests and insulting TO the sovereignty
the Slave States; and that the niteranc
publication, or circulation of any statement
arguments or opinions IN this State tendi
to excite our slaves TO insurrection or I
bellion, justly subjects the offender, uud,
our law, toimprisonment in the penitenriar
and to forfeiture of the right 10 sit as a
ror, to vote at our elections, or TO hold
flee.
