GOOD NEWS FROM MISSOURI.

TKE TunNISo PoiYr-TnE NIGHT SEM
TIMENT. I'll
Myrfads of meetings, instisatcd and
controlled by the chums and boltIe'ho'd'
ers OF David r. A,chison, have been
held in Missouri during the last six
months, all OF which have adopted n
batch of resolutions about Kansas, the
abolilionists and slavery. These strings
of resolutions have all been about one
and the same thing, and were no doubt
cut and dried in the Same kiln, and sent
abroad by the Alchson clique for adop'
lion over the State. Tney generally
concurred in one lhing-an approval
tho present slavery exci'ment in resard
10 Kansas, and an endorsement Of the
conduct Of those who have carried things
with such high hand on the Missouri
border. .,
This Thing has gone far enough and
is about to change. The quiet people
of Missouri have become tired Of shavIng
the blood and thunder nulli6ers of the
Atchison school think and speak Tor
them, and are beginning to speak iof
themselves. They see clearly now
though they did not before, that the
A,chison gang are endeavorins gradually
and insensibly 10 lead them on TO the
desperate issue of nullilicauon. This
was long concluded by these precious
worthless; but they think tho time ha"
come to throw off the mask. Therefore
the Squatier Sovereign, Mr.. Alchison's
Kansas organ, Jevoul'y hopes that "Ihe
next Congress will be the last national
body that WILL ever assemble in this
country" We hope The people oil
Missouri will remember this, when the
day of reckoning arrives.
But there is different sentiment
among the people of this State from that
SO furiousIy expressed BY Mr.. Aich'son's
lickspitles, and that sentiments is be-
ginning 10 be exhibited. -.
The citizens of Johnson county held
meeting at Warrensburg, the 18Th uil.,
and adopted set of resolutions quite
different from those forced through such
meeting susualIy by the Atchison tribe.
The first Of these resolutions "rcSards
the perpe,uity Of the Union paramount,
to al other questions" The second de-
clarcs that "a strict adherence 10 the
constitutional laws Of our country is
the only sure guarantee for the preserva' :
ton of the Union," and pledges The
resolvers TO "assst in having them en- :
forced" The third depr. Gates the nullliy'
ing character Of the proceedings oil the
late Legislature OF Massachusetts, and
regrets that our present federal Executive
was so weak as not to be able to act TO-
wards Massachusetts as Jackson did TO-
wards South Carolina. The fourth, filth
and sixth resolutions, are the ones to
which we particularly direct attention,
and so we give them entire. They speak
the sentiments Of honest, sensible and
brave men, and are worth forty OF the
usual stereotyped homilies which come
SO lavishly from the plelhoric pigeon
holes of tho Atchison demasoSues.-.
Here they are:
| 4 That the Constitutional and laws guarantee
ing to us their right to worship God according to
the dictates of our conscience we regard o:
sacred, and the course pursued at meellns'
held in our own and sister counties, in proscfll
ing ministers ofthe gospel of certain demon na-
tons, is tyrannical, arbitrary, Illegal, uhJns
and unworthy the intelligence Of an enlightened
community.
That The present excitement upon the sub
iect of slavery in Missouri, is unc alled for, an'
as we believe only to advance the interests o
e few demagogue, who to accomplish their owl
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, whoull sacrifice oar owl
glorious Union iiselr Therefore we regard an.
person, who, from choice, agtates the subject
of slavery. As an enemy to the least interest
the slaveholding community of our State.
That we dcprecate the attempt being madt
by some politicians Of our State, to brand a
Aboliuonists or Fee Soilers, all who do no
subscribe to their peculiar views or opinions il
regard TO the power # Congress to legsall
upon the subject of Slavery IN the Terrtorld
of the United States, thereny cndtavorng t
create an issue that would prove runious to tn
best interest of the South, cutting oil near
the whole consecutive part OF Tie nation.
